reel love
Friday, July 18, 2008In that fleeting state of grace, otherwise known as Websense downtime, I checked out upcoming movies and found a few noteworthy:
Miracle at St. Anna [most intriguing trailer to date]
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan [you can never go wrong with a Sandler flick]
Blindness [Mark Ruffalo, need not say more. Ok, Julianne Moore. Hefty eh?]]
Savage Grace [Cannes entry. Julianne Moore said to be at her finest]
Traitor [Two words: Don Cheadle]
I can’t attach a vclip for obvious reasons & neither am I in the mood to give you a synopsis or even hyperlink ‘em. . . Just go to www.apple.com/trailers
Here are flicks I’ve been meaning to see again:
In Dreams
Ghost Ship
The Land Before Time [will it make me cry, still?]
The Hours
Ten Things I Hate About You
Movies I never came around to seeing though I badly want to:
Brokeback Mountain
Wanted
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I am so psyched to get out of work today. I’ll have myself a dose of chivalry from the Dark Knight.
a snippet from highschool [end of] days
Scene: High school gymnasium. Commencement rehearsals.
Rudolf: English-in mo nga: Pang-ilang presidente ba ng Pilipinas si Estrada?
Classmate: [Struggles, and gives up]
Rudolf asks 2 other girls until the question is shot at me.
Ako: What is the ordinal number of Estrada as Philippine president?
The enquirer and the futile respondents all considered the answer, and finally nod in agreement. At that moment, I felt I deserved to be valedictorian.
I suck at Math bigtime. I’m not your average geek who can deal with Algebra through to Zoology. So yeah, that moment felt more reassuring than getting the diploma.

True-blue Pinoys go through a series of kalokohan. Quasi-tradition, if you may. Who hasn’t learned the different ways to form a star with a rubber band? With two? Who doesn’t know how to fold the hanky in different ways and morph it into a leaping mice?
The hidden images on our banknotes: Aguinaldo’s ear concealing a sewer rat? The preening cat on the Barasoain church?
And so much more.
About the Author
The blogger, female, has recently discovered that she could not be a disciple-to-no one.
Notice the transition from morose to pathetically smitten.
Give her a break. We all falter.
The lucky ones, happily so.
