Leigh’s Series of Un/fortunate Events

Bonjour! Joyeux Noël! (That’s French for Merry Christmas!)

Okay, here’s a recap on my previous week…

Last Monday, went grocery shopping with mom and mark in makati. Also, we dropped by citimotors for a minute. That afternoon, i caught a rerun of ‘Big Daddy’ in movie plus channel. I also went online and caught my schizofriend B in YM. We talked for awhile saying she missed the phils. And you know what she told me? She said that it was -4 degrees in Canada! Wow! Super freezing cold man! *sighs* When kaya magkaka-white xmas d2? I wonder when… Next, Tuesday came and nothing much happened. Just dropped by SMB that night then afterwards saw a rerun of "S.W.A.T.’ in CaTV. Wednesday came and i just bummed all day. Saw reruns of ‘Wicker Park’ and ‘Mean Girls’ in CaTV. That night, i dropped off my brother someplace… That Thursay, nothing again much happened, BUM as usual. Saw another rerun of ‘Cellular’ in CaTV. Well, now that it’s Friday, AGAIN, if it wasn’t for cable, i might have bored myself to death. Saw reruns of ‘View From The Top’, ‘Odd Girl Out’, ‘Tomb Raider’, ‘Agent Cody Banks’ and ‘The Perfect Score’. Oh, that afternoon, i also dropped by SMB for awhile. Hehe… And now i’m doing this blog. What else can i write? Hmm… Lemme see… Ah, i’m just gonna write my reviews for the movies i’ve seen this week, either new or rerun. Here we go:

Big Daddy - Well, this is actually one of my favorite films. Very hilarious and amusing. The kid was pretty much cute and talented no wonder the kid in this flick or should i say kids (for they were twins), would definitely go places. The kid/s who play Julian already has their own show in Disney channel’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. They were very funny in their own shoe as well, but very grown up, i might add. But nonetheless, i never get tired of seeing this touching yet funny film that shows unconditional love to those who aren’t even related to you.

S.W.A.T. - Cool movie! Especially with Colin Farrell looking oh so HOT in this film, you really couldn’t take your eyes off of him! Hehe.. But honestly, this film rocks. Filled with so much action! I remember i even saw this movie in the theatre twice!

Wicker Park - Well, this romantic movie really is interesting especially if you’re watching this for the first time. Very mindboggling yet thrilling. Oh, and don’t forget, the cute and handsome Josh Hartnett is in this one too! I also love the song here by Coldplay which is played at the end, the title is The Scientist. A must check out flick!

Mean Girls - One of my fave films! A very funny and hilarious one. Jonathan Bennett (who plays Aaron Samuels) is interestingly cute. The cast was great and the soundtrack’s also a must check out. I never get tired of watching this film.

Cellular - This flick will definitely leave you at the edge of your seat. A suspense and thrilling film plus not to mention Fantastic Four’s Johnny Storm played by the hunky Chris Evans who’s the main star in this movie. A good see.

View From The Top - This movie is very inspirational. It shows that you should really strive for your dreams and never give up. There’s always hope even though sh*t happens. A romantic film that makes you wanna study French and become a flight stewardess someday!

Odd Girl Out - I dunno if you’ve seen this one but this is a sort of TV movie starring Spy Kids’ Alexa Vega, who plays a popular middle school girl who then turns to be the one who’s bullied by her former popular clique. She struggled with peer pressure and what middle school conflicts usually have: Mean Girls! Watch out, this is a very compelling yet touchy story which would definitely make you think who your friends really are.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - This action packed film is good for all Lara Croft-Angelina Jolie fans. I thought that no one could play a better Lara Croft than Angie! You go girl! Very girl power-ish type of flick! Astig din all her cars especially her 63 bedroom mansion. Let me repeat that, astig noh? hehe…

Agent Cody Banks - This teenage espionage-style movie is basically a little intriguing but the thought of the CIA recruiting teenagers as agents definitely cool! I gotta go get myself recruited though i guess i’m no longer much of a teen anymore, huh? Maybe a full-time agent, now, whatcha say? Come on, CIA get me! I beg of you! hehehe…. Maybe soon… I guess i can’t let you know now can I? Hihi.. Okay back to the movie, it has its cool gadgets and gizmos shown but not really good for many viewings. Seeing this once or twice is enough. Oh, by the way, Hilary Duff also stars in this flick though i dunno if she’s in the sequel Agent Cody Banks 2, which i haven’t seen yet so far.

The Perfect Score - This movie is like one of HBO’s Original Movies called Cheaters. Basically, the story revolves around six high school students who wanted to steal the answers in their SAT exams. They planned, they stole, they conquered. On the plus side, this film stars Chris Evans again. You gotta love that guy! Hehe…

Well, that’s it then… Gotta go! It’s nearly midnight, gotta go get some zzz’s! Tomorrow’s christmas eve na! Merry Christmas people! Have fun!!!

Avec tout respect dû,

Leigh

Okay, here goes on my previous week from December 12-17, 2005:

Monday: went to school for the alumni ID picture, had lunch and windowshopped with K @ G4. Saw How To Deal that afternoon in Cable TV.

Tuesday: There’s supposed to ba a meteor shower that night. Unfortunately, there were light rainshowers so it’s pretty much cloudy and no single star in sight. Too bad! I remember when we were in our retreat last year in Mary Hill, Antipolo, when me and my friends were in the balcony (gazing out for the antipolo lights and the makati skyline) when we all saw a shooting star! Of course, we were stunned man! Good thing nakapag-wish pa ako… Buti na lang, realistic din yung wish ko. I’m sure it’ll happen soon na. I can feel it. I won’t tell muna yung wish ’til it had actually happened na, okies? Anyways, that tuesday afternoon also, i drove mom somewhere for some errands…

Wednesday: Woke up very early for the 2-hour final episode of The Amazing Race 8 (the family edition one). Galing! Tama na naman yung bet ko. The Linz family won! Astig! Very close fight lang with the Bransens (which my mom roots for). Too bad for the Weavers but they actually are a competitive team ha. Twice na sila na-yield but they still managed to be in the final 3. Hehe… Sorry if some of u can’t relate but in the meantime, NEWSFLASH! Coming this FEBRUARY is the new season of the Amazing Race 9! They’re back to their old format na ulet! This should be interesting… Also pala, that afternoon din, i saw Scream 3 in CATV. Hehe, there’s nothing good than a Wes Craven flick!

Thursday: Went to school for my Thesis1 subject. Grabe! We were dismissed so early! About mga an hour or more before we were supposed to be dismissed. So anyways, K, L, L’s bf J, M, M’s bf D and I went to see the movie KING KONG. Grabe! 3 hours yung movie! Pero sulit naman e. It was great. Some TRIVIA lang: Did you know that Peter Jackson (the director of King Kong) was paid about $200 million to make this film? And that’s the highest paid salary for any movie director in history! Wow man! To Peter> Penge naman ng money kahit $1 million lang… hehe!

Friday: Went to school for my physiopsych class. We had a quiz, as usual. Anyways, my classmate T, gave me and K a lollipop! Hehe… So nice of her. So K and I went to glo, where else and ate at SpamJam. Then i also bought a strawberry chibout cake in Bizu for my Mom coz it’s her anniversary eh. I kinda surprised her. That afternoon din, I saw Blast From The Past in CaTV.

Saturday: When i woke up that morning, i received a text message from my schizo friend B saying goodbye coz she’s going back home na to Canada. I’m beginning to miss her na! So much fun hanging out with her. Also, we received a terrible news from our relative. Our Tita N. (My mom’s cousin), who’s been living in Virginia, passed away na coz of cancer… :’c Well, we’ll just pray for her… Also, that night, i saw a rerun of Mean Girls in CaTV. I never get tired of watching that film. It’s so funny, i even have it on DVD. hehe…!

Sunday: Went to simbang gabi with mom and bro. It’s a Sunday kaya sabay2x na kami nagmass… I don’t really complete the simbang gabis and i dont think i can, ever! Maybe, i’ll try some year to complete it but so far, i only go at least once a year. Tama na sa ‘kin yun… haha. Grabe nga eh! the SG mass is at 4:30am and guess what? Natapos yung mass at around  past 6 na! Halos 1 houe yung homily nung priest! Gad man! So, then, went home din kagad, had some breakfast, and hit the sack ulet for some more zzz’s… That afternoon, i saw a rerun of Taking Lives again, where else but in CaTV.

So, today, Monday (December 19, 2005), went to Makati for some grocery shopphing for the noche buena sa xmas coz there’s only 6 more days to go before xmas comes, which sucks! Grabe! Dami tao! So that (this) afternoon i am surfing the net while downloading mp3s while checking my mails and sending email while checking my friendster while i do this blog while i listen to the music in winamp while i transfer files to my phone while i do some job for my friend K. Wow! Would you believe? How multi-tasking is that? Hehe… Well, gotta go! Keep posting! Au revoir!

So early kme nandun, before 8am so we just ate breakfast muna at jollibee in waltermart. na-miss ko nga yung mga breakfast meals nila eh… neweiz, we dropped by muna sa don bosco church near amorsolo. and waited for waltermart to open ng 10. At ten, we went in and browsed lang around. We’re strolling lang muna kasi 11.25 pa yung 1st showing nila and me and my mom wanted to se Just Like Heaven. And so, nag-timezone muna ko for awhile. Solo ko nga yung whole timezone kc walang naglalaro except for me. Then, we bought tickets na for the movie and bought food sa taters, kc i have a discount card dun… hehe… then we went in. Maganda naman yung cinemas nila dun. Bago pa kasi and wlang masyadong nanonood. Mura pa! P100 lang one ticket. Sa g4 is P110 na ata pinaka-mura nilang movie… Anways, maganda din naman yung movie. Astig yung apartment. Gusto ko din mag-apartment ng ganun (with the rooftop na may view) dun sa San Francisco when i go there soon.. *wink!* Funny din yung movie. Love it. It’s a good see… Then, after the movie, we went back sa citimotors to pick up lance and went home but we dropped by muna sa big c to buy some stuffs… That afternoon, i watched x-files the movie sa vcd.. na-miss ko na din yun eh… hehe.

Hay, i’m u-ber bored talaga this week! Well, i guess i just have to savor this coz when thesis gets demanding, that’s the end of it, right? Oh well… Anyways, Updates on what had happened this week from Nov. 28 - Dec. 2: Monday: Went to mass very early in the morning with mom. Reason? It’s Lance’s (aka as our car… hehe!) 5th birthday! hehehe… That afternoon, I went to ATC with cuzin Z. Tuesday: nothing happened. Bum. period. Wednesday: Not much happened as well. No class e. Just watched Cellular with mom sa HBO. Nice film! Chris Evans is really cute! and funny too! -> the one with ricky-martin-name-thing, if you know what i mean. In addition, that afternoon i also watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I know! i know! I suck. It’s a good film din, by the way. That night, L called and said she had tickets to the MTV Music Summit for tomorrow night. She got it for free from Ms. Nicole (an MTV VJ working in AC!). I said i’d go. I wanna see Mig Ayesa perform! Thursday: Had class in thesis 1 and we had a quiz! So hard man. Then, had lunch at KFC with L, M and KD. Afterwards, i hang-out with L at PowerBooks in Greenbelt for a couple of hours. We were supposed to go to that MTV thingy but everyone else bailed out so tinamad nako and went home instead that afternoon. That night, i watched na lang Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It’s a little boring though, except for the amazing map and the time travelling stuff… I liked Chamber of Secrets better. But my fave was the fourth one (Goblet of Fire) because of Cedric! Hehe.. then the first then second and third HP films. Friday: Had class in physio psych. Had film showing of a discovery-documentary of the human brain. A little boring tho.. Then, we had a quiz! I hate quizzes! Who does?? hehe… Then, went to lunch with L, K and KD at Wendy’s G4. Had a very SATC-type of talk. Very amusing! Hilarious talaga! Afterwards, we strolled the mall. Kainis nga lang dame people coz of the sale and the fact that it’s Friday. Boo! Then, i met up with my high school friend M and we went home together for we’re just neighbors. That night, i checked my mails, surfed the net and wrote on this blog. Also, my hs friend KE dropped by our house unexpectedly by surprise. We just talked on our plans for tomorrow. Had plans kasi to go to Subic eh. We’ll just spend our weekend there, just overnight. Our schizoid friend B, who’s also a balikbayan will leave na in a few days e, so we have to have one last bonding. I’m sure it’ll be great for it’ll be my first time to go there with my friends. I *again* know! I do suck! haha! well, whatever! Neweiz, gotta go now! Have some packing pa to do! hehe… i’ll just update this soon! cheers!
