Shake It Off…
I gotta shake it off…. *sighs* i really need to shake off this bum feeling… it’s the end na kc ng sem break eh and this wednesday, start na ng 2nd sem… anyways, i only have 2 subjects this term: physiological psych and thesis1!!! argh! so my sked is only twice a week. Wednesdays and thursdays lang at 9:10 - 12pm! So there! twice lang and half days lang me… that means less income *wink!* a.k.a. allowance and probably movies… but i’m not gonna give up. Thesis over movies? hmm… we’ll see about that… i’ll keep you posted… but in the mean time, i’ll just update you guys on what i’ve been doing the past three week (in my sem break)… well, one, there’s bumming around: sleeping uber late and waking up til nearly lunch time the next morning, two: there’s my best friend - the telly… like, i’ve been watching every single thing on tv especially in Etc… hehe… three: there’s movies in dvd. i have been updating my list of watched movies coz this sembreak, it’s all about catching up on films that i’ve missed or have never seen before… i’ll post the list later and comment on the films i’ve seen recently on my dvd marathons (thanks to kate and kat for making this possible!)… four: is pigging out by the tv… but i don’t really get much pounds though, i wonder why… five: playing badminton with my mom in the afternoons… i swear, i just don’t have anything more to do so i play it and it’s a good exercise… and finally, aside from checking my mails, surfin’ the net and updating my blog, i also do some errands around town every once in a while and going out at night occassionally … whew! well, that’s it… supposedly, madami pa sanang night outs and plans kaso dami excuses.. maybe it’s not the right time pero it’s okay… dami pa din namang other time… there’s also the schiz get together at dee’s place… and i must say, dami dumating! i’m glad i did! ayun, dami catch ups and talks… reminiscings and mushings… of course inuman and sound trippin’… but grabe! this was the only time na medjo complete ang schizoid (well almost)… and we did some bonding and syempre photo shoots.. so fetch talaga! i’ll post some more pics soon pa kasi i still haven’t gotten them from my schiz siz e… 
So, to end this post, here’s the list of movies i’ve seen this sem break:
New Movies Seen in DVD: (WARNING! Possible Spoilers alert!)
Labyrinth - cool one! although an old flick, this film is funny and the songs were interesting esp. the underground song… touchy and shows the value of friendship. A must see!
Win A Date with Tad Hamilton - this film is sure to make you kilig… sort of a romantic comedy film that inspires you to find out just how many smiles you’ve got. PS: Topher Grace (who played as Pete in this film is such a cutie! - Though my mom aims for the cute tad hamilton himself!) Cool soundtrack as well!
Cold Mountain - Okay, i’m not so much into old war films but the fact that my Cillian Murphy is in this one has forced me to gather up my strength and actually see this film. It’s just sad that Cillian has only one scene that’s about 20 minutes screening time in this film and what happened was he was shot by Natalie Portman, being mistaken for harming her baby when in fact, Cillian’s character, Bardolph, was only trying to help. Unfortunately, he died.
The Longest Yard - I’m not really a fan of Adam Sandler but I hear so many people saying this film’s a good one so i saw this and to be honest, i’m not that satisfied. Okay it’s sort of funny but i nearly fell asleep through the film. I only liked the end part (which is the game) and those skanky prison cheerleaders. They’re funny!
Sleepover - This chick flick is a must see for all those having a slumber party. It’s a good one, showing friendship and caring for your friends. I liked the girls’ green mini car, if you know what i mean.
Hitch - This is an okay film as well. It’s funny in a way but i’m glad i didn’t see it in the theatres.
The Perfect Man - This film is great for mother-daughters out there! i did see this flick with my mom. Funny and touchy as well. Shows a sense of friendship (again), love and value for respecting the feelings of mothers and daughters and also moving on with life. Loved the songs as well.
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous - This is a great film. I loved it. Too bad Benjamin Bratt wasn’t in this hilarious sequel. Makes me want to become an FBI Agent more…! hehe…
A Lot Like Love - Well, the story’s nice. Ashton’s a total hottie and it’s quite funny as well. Makes you learn more about love. I liked the songs here too.
The Girl Next Door - Hmm… what can i say with this one? It’s a so-so film. Not much of a story though cool ending. Lots of misleadings in this film.
New York Minute - Well, i must say, this is quite a new one for the Olsen twins. It’s just that Jared’s character is way much older for one of the twins. My cousin commented that as she saw this film, she thought that New York City is quite "magulo" as what she’d said. I thought otherwise, for i wanted to go there someday.
The Challenge - Well, this is yet another one of the Olsen twin’s TV movies and this is like a sppof of the survivor only the prize is a scholarship. An okay story though…
Intermission - One of Cillian’s films… This one’s an Irish film that’s funny though not much of a story but will do. The only downside is all of the actor’s accents are quite challenging to follow so you really do have to pay attention. Irish accents mixed with fast talking is indeed a challenge. Collin Farrell is in this one too!
