I don’t have any internet connection at home. I am only on dial-up and it sucks that scumbags stole the PLDT cables from our subdivision. So our phone is basically dead. Why would people do these kind of things? I know that it must cost something to sell those cables, but, why wouldn’t they just use their lazy asses and do something legally productive? Argh!

Anyway, I’ve seen a bunch of movies in the past week. I saw Pursuit of Happyness, starring Will Smith and his kid. It’s about a man named, Chris Gardner, who never stopped moving forward and striving hard to support his son. Life wasn’t easy for him, for he had to sacrifice months without salary as an intern for a company so he could land a job as a stock broker. He was so broke that him and his kid once slept at a train station’s restroom. After months of hardwork, he was rewarded the coveted spot in the company. They accept 20 interns and only one gets the job. In the year 2006, he was able to build a multi-million empire in the Stock business. It was a very inspiring movie. It made me cry in the end. Waah!

Blood Diamond. The film was set in Africa, were diamond trade in some parts are illegal. Basically, the movie revolved around Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) trying to find the diamond that’s as big as a quail’s egg. One liner: “In the US, it’s bling bling. Here (Africa), it’s bling BANG!” Archer died in the end. Boohoo!

Ghost Rider. Honestly, I don’t prefer Nicolas Cage playing Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider). For me, he doesn’t fit the part. Anyway, the film was almost 2hours short. Yes, it seems so short! I wasn’t really wowed, because it’s like the story was hurried. Plus, the way Blackheart was killed by the Ghost Rider was so, I don’t know, easy? “Look into my eyes!

Rocky Balboa. I watched it with Ryan yesterday. It was an OK movie. Nothing great about it. It seems that the movie was so short. I’ve seen all the Rocky films, and this last one lacks much action, and Sly Stallone cried! Pfft. In fairness to the film, the boxing scene was good. It’s like watching the Pacquiao-Morales match. Pretty exciting at some point, but it didn’t leave me glued to the tube.

I finally convinced my dad to have us subcribe for a broadband connection. I submitted the application today for PLDTmyDSL. I was supposed to try Globelines, but they don’t offer their service in our area. It would’ve been a better option, since they offer the Php995/mo for both the dsl connection and the phone line. I wish the people from PLDT contacts me soon to have DSL connection installed. I am quite excited. Yay to faster connection! (Up to 512mbps)

I’ve finished watching Grey’s Anatomy seasons 1 and 2. I started watching the season 3, but I was disappointed when the DVD only has 10 episodes. Gah. I don’t know if I’d be able to get the next episodes. I am addicted to this series like I am with Smallville. Maybe when my broadband is up and running, I’d be able to download the next episodes. I can’t wait! (Cosy In The Rocket is by Psapp, Grey’s Anatomy’s theme).

Summer here in the Philippines is just around the corner, and I can totally feel it! I am not so excited because it means that it would be too hot for me to bear! The weather now is too weird due to the effects of global warming. Last year’s heat was inevitable for me. I wonder what this year would be… I am currently suffering from wind burn. You know? That prickly sensation on your face? Like, it’s being burned or something. I hate it. Even if I wash my face the whole day, it just goes back. It started last Saturday. It’s so irritating. I wish I can tear off the skin on my face! I mean, I just applied a few acne treatments on my face. Aaarrghh!

MEREDITH: [narrating]
“Like I said, disappearances happen. Pains go phantom. Blood stops running and people, people fade away. There’s more I have to say, so much more, but… I disappeared.”

Lovefool…LoveFULL.

Feb 15, 2007 Daily Blurbs, School

I was late for school yesterday. Booboo followed me out of the house without me noticing. She ran like hell in the street and I had to run after her. I was going to call my dad to go get her, but he was inside the house and there was a van fast approaching, so I had to run faster. I got to her on time, but then I missed the ride out of our place. Gah.

In school, we made a cover for a gadgets magazine. I wasn’t really satisfied with my end result but, I think it looks OK. I think the time wasn’t enough yesterday. I finished it a little over 1pm, and our class ends at 1pm. After our class, Lexie, Melai, Charity and I went to the mall. Lexie and I went to the grocery while Melai and Charity went to Jollibee. I bought ingredients for Macaroni & Cheese and food for Booboo. Lexie and Melai ate at Jollibee. I decided to eat lunch at home instead.

I got home by 2pm and prepared my lunch, then set a pot of water to boil for the macaroni. After lunch, I started to prepare the ingredients for the Mac ‘n Cheese. I cut the bar of cheese into small cubes and opened the 2 cans of mushroom soup. I started to clean the living room while cooking. I swept and mopped the floor. I had to let Booboo out so she won’t be in the way. She likes to jump on the broom while I’m sweeping. Silly dog! I was able to finish everything by 4:30pm. I went out for 10minutes to have Booboo play outside for a while and sniff the surroundings. Yep, she’s so curious! It’s a good thing she didn’t run off again when I called her to come inside.

I took a bath again since I was so sticky from sweat. Eww. I love bathing! After my bath, Ryan informed me that he’s almost here. I hurriedly fixed myself up then waited in the living room. When he finally arrived, he had with him a box full of donuts from GoNuts Donuts. Yay! I love the Yummy Vanilla flavor. Too bad he was able buy just two. It’s the best seller, most times it’s gone before the afternoon.

We watched the movie Apocalypto. It was a good movie, but it’s kind of graphic. It portrayed how old civilizations lived. Sacrificing humans to please their gods and ravaging other tribes to get humans to be sacrificed. Eventhough the movie wasn’t in English, the way the people used their facial expressions and body movements, made me understand the emotion of the scenes without reading some of the subtitles.

After the movie, my aunt called to tell us that we’re going to eat dinner at their place. Ryan and I walked to their house and had dinner. He still has to go to work. He didn’t go home yesterday just to be with me. He brought with him clean clothes for work and I let him take a bath here. He slept at his office’s sleeping lounge. My aunt commented that I was blooming. *smiles* Is it because of Ryan? Partly, yes. He makes me glow with happiness. At 9pm he was off to work.

Valentine’s day was great, but sadly, time wasn’t enough. The more important thing is that he came and spent it with me. He sent me a text message saying that he was happy to have spent the day with me, and agreed that the time spent wasn’t enough. But still, I was happy. No more bad memories for V-day. *Yay*
