tag, you're it!
koko tagged me weeks ago but i just got the time to write so here... the tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover. no need to mention the sex of the target. tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their comments saying they've been tagged. if tagged the second time there's no need to post again.
- He would be a person who loves God and his family above all.
- He would be a person who can cook as well, someone who can cook up some culinary magic in the kitchen.
- He would be a funny sort of person, spontaneous and unpredictable. I'd like to be with someone who can crack a joke out of nothing and make me laugh a lot.
- He would be Chinese. I don't really know why, but I've always preferred the Chinese kind of guys, maybe because I'm Chinese and all that. (racial discrimination! nah, i may be, can speak a bit of and look like a Chinese, but i think i'm more of a Filipino at heart.)
- He would be smart and share the same interests and hobbies as me. It would be really hard to be with someone who doesn't know what the heck you're talking about, who just nods and nods and pretends to understand what you mean, when all the while things like "What's she going on about now?" are going through his mind .
- He would be sweet and thoughtful, but not too corny or mushy. Those things can make me cry. I'm really a cry-y (???) sort of person.
- He can keep a conversation going until who knows when. He isn't the type of person na tanong ka ng question, sagot siya, then stop. tanong ka ulit, sagot, then stop nanaman. Ano naman ang mapapala namin pareho sa pag-uusap na yun?
- He would be someone who would appreciate and love me for me, someone who would listen to whatever problems I would have, to just be there when I need someone, or when I don't feel like talking to my parents about certain stuff, he would listen, the like.
sana nga me taong ganyan out there. :)

narnia
finally, i was able to watch the chronicles of narnia today! it was a post-celebration (which has been put off for weeks now) of jescia's birthday last december 31. we went to eastwood. i went off to starbucks and satisfied my craving for a mocha frappucino and a Starbucks ham and cheese croissant. after i drank it though, my head hurt a bit, i think because the coffee was really, really,cold.
i loved narnia! as in. to bits. it was so good. better than harry potter. Andrew Adamson will probably be better than Alfonso Cuaron and Mike Newell put together. really. people even clapped at the end of film. and during the last part, when we thought it was all over and there was a pahabol pa pala, everyone who was going out of the cinema literally went back and looked to see what was happening. it was that good.
when i watch these movies based on books, i have these certain expectations. and narnia met them all. the flow of the story was really good, so those who weren't able to read the books were able to understand the story, wherein in harry potter, ang gulo, when one thing happens, hindi naman connected dun sa last scene. you have to be able to have read the book para lang maintindihan ang nangyari. i read this entry from TIME..
Book vs. Movie
I don't see how Richard Corliss (a movie reviewer, i think) could pick the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire over the book. While i really like the movie-it was fast and action-packed-none of the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's books, that one included, have been able to fully capture the essence of Harry. They cannot put us inside Harry's head the way Rowling deftly does.
-Marianne L. Adams
i absolutely agree with her. a good director should be able to do that. the movie was like the book put to life. the effects, the actors, everything was great. lucy was so cute, with the lisping and the way she said, "I don't know!" when mr tumnus asked her why people shook hands. jadis was really cool. the hair(!!!), the clothes, the acting. she came out the way I imagined her as I was reading Magician's Nephew and TLTW&TW.
overall, the movie was really great. i couldn't find anything to criticize. the movie was able to bring Narnia and its creatures to life.
love love love narnia!

the horror of the exams
tests are over. thank God. i screwed up MA, especially the last part. i was really desperate, so i made some things up. hope she won't notice (yeah right). and chem was fine, i guess. anyway, i do not want to relive the horror of it, so never mind that anymore. and yeah, geom test results were out. thank God i got 85 out of 95. that's not so bad. higher than i expected, actually. i thought i was going to fail because i really screwed up that part with the angle AOB thing, but i just got one mistake, haha. and the last part. wow. that day when we took the test, it took me at least an hour to figure out that the polygon was a quadrilateral. nice, i know. sheesh.
last night, i was reading TIME instead of studying. ha. it's got some interesting stuff in it really. here's a challenge i found. see if you can do it.
say the color the word is printed in, not the word itself. try to say all 10 without a mistake within 15 seconds.
Blue Yellow Red Green Yellow Green Blue Red Yellow Red
it's kind of hard at first but after at least six tries, you don't need to even look at the words anymore, since you've already memorized them from repeating it over and over again.
