here is a list of movies i intend to watch for the next few weeks. haven't seen one in ages after all the mental / physical crap i had since june (the last film i recall was "Pirates 3" with Lovely & Casey at the last week of May. it was a good one, actually.) i really don't give a damn whether i have homework or whatsoever... i wanna watch mooooovieeeees! *squee*


Transformers: The Movie
have lost count about the number of times i've heard someone rave about "Transformers"... someone please stop before i strangle myself! the buzz is ev-e-ry-where, and being the sheep that i am, my apparent nonchalance about it has obviously 'transformed' into avid curiosity. what IS so great about them robots? i'm about to find out in a few hours' time. :)


Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
surprisingly, i am not as excited about this 5th installment as i previously did with the other 4. i guess it stems from the fact that i didn't like Book 5 that much because it was too long. (and um, so what if *gasp* sirius died?! harry and he were never really close. snuffles' fans should kill me right now!) anyhoo, it's always a given we watch HP haha... who wouldn't? ;) ... i hope they play out fred & george's stylish exit (my fave part of the book), and give snape and lucius more screen time harhar. and now i'd like to admit i like ron more than harry. (and also, i like rupert more than daniel.) ... and about voldy, hmmm i don't know what to say (even if My First Hollywood Crush plays him *ack*). ... last, i still haven't reread HP5 (because i usually read the book first before watching the movie) and i doubt if i ever will.



some scenes from "Ratatouille"... isn't he cute???? :)


Ratatouille
when was the last time there was a mouse as lovable since Mickey? (oh, then i remember the Great Mouse Detective.) beyond all that comes Remy our hero in 3D! another surprising fact is that i'm more excited about this than HP5. ever since i saw this preview from "Spiderman", it has been calling out to me (sort of divine inspiration haha) to catch it! Paris + culinary exploits + rat with cute pink nose = MUST-SEE! =D ... and so far from the critics' reviews i've been reading, they say it's one of the best (if not the best) from Pixar. all the more reason! the folks aren't keen on watching it though. i'm thinking of setting up a movie date with my BF (bestfriend, mind you!) whom i haven't seen since what... January? (yo Anne! ;⚤) .. i also want this to be my Behavior Gratification reward if and only if i pass my ACC quizzes... so earn it baby! (FYI: ratatouille in french means "vegetable stew", w/c is actually the climax premise of the film.)


and last but not the least:


The Simpsons Movie
20 years in the making... and it's finally coming to a theater near you! i've finished the 18th season DVD in just two days -- nothing beats those yellow celluloids! fan for life :)


check out the The Official Simpsons Movie Website and find lots of cool stuff... like creating your Simpsons avatar! (...stupid internet dialup won't work for this, in my case)



which one of these hot women resemble me most? you decide!


P.S. i think the one at the right looks most like me, though i'd fantasize i was the center haha =p
... and man, i need to sleep!!!!

07-07-07. oh well, i can't help not posting on an unusual date such as this =)


these are what i know to be true:

my birth year ends with a 7.

my student number ends with a 7.

my phone number ends with a 7.

i attend classes at 7am.

i have 7 courses this term.

i was almost applicant # 77 on AJ (minus one).

i have watched 7 movies (only!) this year.

i still think my best year was when i was 17.

on the top of my head, i believe i can count on 7 friends.

7 is still my favorite number.

what's in a month?

school schmool. i've just been in it for less than three weeks but i already find the whole routine tedious. :|


these days, i scramble hard for the time i'll ever get to use the computer. most days upon arriving home i'd just eat and then drop dead. i recently converted to the religion called Napping, because most surprisingly i've found the wonderful sensation of siesta making me less cranky -- but then more lazy. (i've never had regular afternoon naps since when -- prep?) waking up early is still not my thing, after more a year.


fine, i'll put in a good word for junior year life: it's more loose yet paradoxically stringent. thank heavens we don't have those time-consuming PE and NSTP anymore. comp3 may be a bane, but then we'll live through it. (next sem we'll have totally morning classes only!) ... no more general education courses, to be replaced by holy departmental ones (except math) and i wonder if it's a good thing altogether. seems like we're really in some business school, huh? if we're not crunching numbers (12 hours a week!) then we'll be blabbering about business law, and if not that then we'll be mumbling about stocks and shares. (good thing BA's keeping me sane. if not... !) ... have i actually envisioned myself 10 years back that i'll be this serious?


speaking of law, i can't help but feign a bit of annoyance at it. i like the subject - i really do - but i always find myself as less than an ignoramus whenever i read AND memorize all those legal lexicon. what's the use of reading if i don't understand half of what it's saying? just have to keep reading, reading, reading and envisioning myself as those guys from "Ally McBeal", "The Practice", "Justice", etc. oh man, it's going to be a long day. (off-topic: the Fed graces the cover of my lovely law 'journal'... for much-needed inspiration haha!)


org talk: aside from being a mandatory member of JPIA, my friend Laarnie & i signed up for our university's Spanish club -- Circulo Hispano Tomasino! i wish there was some French club around (let me initiate that!), though this is the closest we can get. we'll be having some language tutorials (when does it start?) and a movie festival in September... i'm quite excited! maybe after a year i can speak simple Español faster than you can say "¡Comer mi polvo!" (according to GT, that's "Eat my dust!") hahaha! =p


and now i'm torn between hello and/or goodbye for AJ. pondering wasn't enough, i had to think out loud on several occasions for the past 6 days... i think my friend's getting the wind of it. one moment i'm adamant on joining, the next i'm flailing to back out. i swear, working for a student publication is no mean feat... i've been through it to say what a degree of laboriousness it would entail. but everytime i hear that announcement, and whenever fellow classmates encourage me to join i'm simply torn. i know i'd be missing a lot if i don't go for it (hence no more chance for an elevator pass! harhar), i'm just worried for the consequences. :|


... so to put the issue to a rest, i'll take the qualifying exam this Wednesday (i wonder if they accept late applicants) -- 'cause there's no harm in trying, right? and if i pass, only time will tell if i can bear it.


we'll be having a majority of 'first batch quizzes' for the week, so here i am posting early! hope i'll be diligent enough the rest of the time to get a good start! (goal: 1 for the 2 ACCs!) =)
