the graveyard book - neil gaiman ++ colorgenics profile

it was a very interesting read! even though it took me months to finish it cos i could hardly finish a book in a single sitting nowadays, the interest was sustained. >:D

i could imagine this book being turned into a movie. hahaha [spoiler alert] --- i liked the book because the narration of the setting is so vivid, it also helped that it's illustrated, i could imagine the old graveyard, the hill, the sneer, i can even roughly sketch the characters based on the book. anyway, the story was cool.. LOL i can't explain it... the ending was sad though... >:( but it's ok cos it's what added to the story's distinct charm. it was written for kids so hurray for me not having to grab a dictionary or do some serious context clues-ing!

on another note, here's something i tried at: www.goldinuniverse.com

my Colorgenics profile:

You are tending to pursue your objectives with concentrated intensity and it would seem that whatever obstacles may come into your path, you will stick to your guns and will not allow yourself to be deflected from your purpose. You are striving to achieve recognition and what is more - you deserve it.


You are very talented, imaginative and sensitive but you are holding back as you do not really like going it 'on your own'. In preference you would like to team up with someone, someone with similar attributes as your own, to explore - to seek out and go perhaps 'where no other man has trod before'. It is the unusual that attracts you and which will give you a sense of excitement and adventure.


You are a rather inhibited sort of person. This could be the result of your upbringing or of your schooling, whatever. You are able to obtain satisfaction from various forms of physical or emotional activity but all in all you are inclined to be emotionally withdrawn. As a consequence of this you find it difficult to sustain any deep involvement.


It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.


The fear that you may not be able to fulfil or realise all of your ambitions makes you work and play hard. The thought of being prevented from achieving the things you want leads you to play your part with frantic fervour.

biyaya daw

haha! saw this one lurking at one of my batchmate's folders. LOL this picture was taken, uhm 2nd year higschool  (2 biyaya... yata?) .. reminds me how i'm such a dork back then.... and how much i used to hate that year. hehehe but i've moved on! and forgiven her, see the gap? yeah.

2nd year highschool was... the worst out of the four years. i remember having an enemy. i also remember our class splitting into two... ah ok nevermind. labo

k

// LOL i could only wish! i almost forgot to blur the 'Publish to ***'s Wall', imagine the shame if i actually posted it without checking. WAHAHAHA, fail photo of the year.

// shit. there you go again. i sooooo hate you! don't you fucking try flirting me with cos if it's you, it's not flattering, IT'S HORRIFYING. you simply disgust me.

sorry! not because of what i think of you, but because i hate what i'm becoming when i think of you. i become an evil person.

body balance

went to the gym yehey. >:D my sister is planning on getting a PT (personal trainor) cos she can't stand mommy nagging about her weight. hahaha and that costs a damn lot. i mean, honestly, all you're paying the PT for is to FORCE yourself to workout. if you've got enough discipline, then i'm sure you'll be able to handle your weight training yourself. haha something i can't do. wahaha

of all the group exercises, Body Balance is my favorite cos it's like yoga and pilates... a sort of scaled down version. i wanna try yoga too but i can't find a good schedule haha. actually, i don't have a sense of balance at all. i can't hold my right leg up for 10 seconds without toppling over. and body balances is a slow exercise, which is cool because you're just like meditating! wahehehehe

i'm pretty much convinced that i'm out-of-crush with ryan agoncillo already. ever since he got married, yeah. so maybe i'll start crushing over geoff eigennman instead! and coco martin! ♥ ♥

hmm, will be enrolling tomorrow. i only reserved 18 units, so that i'll get a lot of time to bum around. haha

Ang Panday (MMFF 2009) --- ohkaay?

ah yeah, spoiler alert.


so, awhile ago my parents and i watched And Panday because my sister gave us free tickets (she can't come cos she has work) and it's only valid on SMF cinemas and only during the film fest period. i was really excited over it because it garnered so many awards... best actor, best visual effects, best picture (???) blah blah blah. but when i watched it i was like, "ok. nothing special with the story. =__=;"

i mean, it was your typical hero-rescues-his-girlfriend thing that i've seen countless of times, there's nothing extraordinary with the story --- well it's the first time i watched anything panday--- ! and wait, i think there were so many cuts... or does it really looked rushed?

i like the characters though! the props, the effects, hands down to their creative team! but really, the ploooot????   i wish they had changed the story, or twisted it or something to make it more unpredictable.

and there were loopholes... you know, stuff i thought were too stupid but were included to make the scene look 'epic'. the part where flavio runs through the desert to retrieve his sword which has planted on the ground... lizardo's minions were running after him after having sprout from the sand. it's weird though, cos everyone was BEHIND him. why???? minutes ago, the evil cronies where appearing from EVERYWHERE, and now they only appear from behind flavio??? gaaawd, that's too pro-protagonist.

and why... lizardo was trying to block flavio from entering his 'castle' by sending his troops to the desert... but when he faced him for the second time, he apparated  themselves INTO his castle. i don't see the point! it's not like he's stronger when he's in his domain. and far as i've seen his powers, he can send an army of orc-looking-soldiers at the desert in an instant. no need to go to his castle, right?

my favorite part was when flavio lost his sight. i felt his 'acting' right there when looked so helpless, fumbling his way through the desert. but it was aaaaaall spoiled, aaaaaall spoiled when a 'fairy' (ann curtis) appeared and restored his vision. i mean, i felt like his being blind was made just so he could show off his 'best actor' skills and nothing else!

i thought! his blindless will stay and emelita and celso will train him to fight without vision and lizardo will be beaten by a blind panday and Pulang Lupa will be led by a wise and blind king. that sounded more epic to me. partida lang! but noooooooo. that disappointed me.

elenita (rhian ramos) dying is a major epic fail. i didn't like it at all! celso's there, she has a partner!!! why did she have to diiiieeee? why her? lolo isko could've made a better leaving character... his death will mean more than elenita's. haynako.

hahaha and celso (geoff eigenmann) is so stunning ♥ ♥ ♥ i love his role ala-legolas! though there's not much of his character introduced in the story, i still like him! ♥ ♥ ♥ now if only elenita didn't die. grr...

k. goodnight. >:D
