Silent Night, Twilight Night

I much as I really want to say something like “Marvelous!” or “Excellent!” or “Bellisima!” , my mouth would not move. It just wants to say that it was a good movie. I thought of a lot of ways to destroy the flick but since I’m a fan of the book, I would not do it here.

I say it’s just a nice date movie for those couples who don’t mind hearing little mushy stuffs every twenty minutes or so. It’s a not a movie that was made for the Oscars nor the critics to acclaim but mainly and most specially for the millions of screaming Twilight fans. Guys my just watch it because their girlfriends read the book or they are a Rob Pattison fan.

As for it’s accordance to the book, the development was really fast, some of the important things like Bella cooking for his father, the time it took Bella & Edward to find the meadow and some conversations between Edward & Bella in the Volvo while going to school were omitted. The story in the movie was fast as if Edward and Bella already had known each other before they’ve met while in the book it took quite a while for Edward to get to speak to Bella. The supposed to be powerful line, “And so the lion fell for the lamb.” was acted so-so. I expected a more intense exchange as it was in my imagination. In my opinion, they should have extended the movie for half an hour or maybe for an hour for that character development.

For the highlights, the fun started at the baseball scene up to the last. What movie has shown Vampires playing baseball? I gotta say that the Cullen’s abilities were by the book. The Edward-James fight scene was something that cannot be missed. James was held by Edward’s brother’s, Alice broke his neck and then burned in the ballet room while Bella was trembling because of the venom. The last scene was the most romantic where Edward & Bella got to dance. I thought they were floating when Edward put Bella to stand on his feet as said in the book but it looked like they were just dancing as is, no whirling.

And oh, I just cannot just let this pass because major in biology: it is the scene where Edward and Bella were checking out the onion cell stages. They were just passing the microscope without MOVING the slides! It is impossible to find ALL cell stages in just one field of view for some very important reason. Believe me. No matter how good one is or has a PhD in Biology like my Genetics teacher, we will still have a hard time identifying the stages in a snap!

My sister is excited for New Moon but so am I!

My feline friend, Dagupling, was named by my dad
My feline friend, Dagupling, was named by my dad over a last name of some motorela operator (one you can find at the motorela’s housing) just for fun. I found him four years go sitting beside our door jam. He was looking at me like Puss in Shrek with glittering eyes. I couldn’t help but pat him on his head and carried him inside the sala. My dad was really surprised the first time he saw him since he was gentle and friendly for a pusakal (pusang-kalye/homeless cat). I asked my dad if I could keep him and without question he let me. (Dad had 9 nine cats before.) We already had three cats residing at that time. Fortunately, Dagupling is such a friendly cat that he never had fight with any of our cats.

Dagupling became my bestest feline friend. He never failed to understand me. When I felt lonely, he would be on my lap sleeping. When I was tired, he never budged when I gave him a hug. He was the only cat that ever slept on my bed. He became my stuffed toy at night. He was bossy when he sleeps taking up almost half of my bed for such small a furball. He was also the jealous type wherein he did not want me to touch Pogi (his bestfriend) or else he would push him away. But Pogi is a timid cat; he did not mind at all.

What is unique about Dagupling is that his fur is as soft a cotton ball and I thought it was hypo-allergenic too. I have asthma so I easily got sick when I touch cats. But as for Dagupling I never did. He was more sickly than me. He would sneeze like a human after he was caught in the rain and he would cough sometimes too. That is why I would like to keep him by my side. I would never mind him sleeping on the computer table, on the tv or on top of the fridge where his place should be on the rags provided. I would like to think him as a very cool cat since he loves to listen to music. He can easily sleep with mellow sounds.

He was such a loved cat since we bought tamban (mackerel) for him so he would eat well. He would even eat banana cue, corn and even chocolates! Everything I eat except for sour fruits he would eat them. He would not even eat anywhere on the floor other than his plate or on his rag! he really had manners. I really found that amazing.

Last month, we noticed that Dagupling has no appetite and was getting thinner. He was also missing during the day only coming home for the night to eat. Until last last week when I was just lying on my bed about to sleep, I thought about him while he was lying on a rag but after a moment he was jumping on my chest. I thought there was some connection there that he wanted to sleep with me too. I noticed that something was wrong with his breathing. It was long and grumbling. (Usually cats have a faster breathing rate than humans when at rest.) He slept tight for two hours while I was just texting somebody then he motioned me to go outside so I let him. He looked back at me at the doorway as if he was saying goodbye and then he head on to the gate. That was the last time I saw him. I was not supposed to let him go that night but I thought that would be selfish.

Until now, we have not found Dagupling’s body. Dad said that when cats are dying, they would not let their bodies be found by their owners. They would not like being a bother, he also said. Like duh, they still keep their pride even if they are dying. I would have given him a decent burial.

It is really hard losing a pet. It is hard losing someone whom I have formed a bond with and has been part of my routine in the last four years. It is still hard to let go of such routine. I missed hugging him, holding him, giving him a bath and sleeping with him in a day. I do not mind if he poos on my bed as long as I can have him back. I miss his smell because he smells too good for a cat.

I really really miss my miming. I miss him so much that I am dying. I want him to know that he was such a stupid stupid stupid cat.

Raining… again.

07_22_2008_04 I took this picture of MacArthur Park on a rainy afternoon with my friends.

It was cold (but not freezing though) and the air was filled with moist. We were talking about the storms which are currently devastating our lives but we did not mind the rain. In fact, we were glad it rained. It was a blessing. A sign that God’s blessing are still showering upon us and that He approves and watches every major step we take.

I believe that everytime it rains, God is giving a sign. A very hard windy rain when He does not want me to go out, a light rain then falls when I’m happy and a noisy windless rain when I’m crying on my pillow. So I am always thankful when it rains eventhough some may find it weird. Plus I do not want a hot environment. I would rather prefer making out in the tundras.

When I am with my love on a rainy day, it makes me very happy. I can hold the umbrella -ella -ella -ella for him so we can be close and then steal a glance whenever he does not look. I do not also mind if it is cold because we can warm each other. (If you know what I mean. Joke!)

I am thankful for rainy days, it makes me look forward for the sunny days.

If you’re experiencing a rain in your life, let it fall and dance with it. Nobody will know you’re having a hard time.

huhuhuhu… T__T

Naruto_2 I don’t want to long for guys who are utterly strong because they make me look weak. I don’t want guys to rescue me all the time. I can do things myself and my gurlies!!!

I just started my thesis. Hey-ho. I’ll be busy in the next few weeks. And the guy above is all I’ll be thinking of.

It’s almost Christmas. Where’s my Christmas gift? Where’s my mistletoe kiss? Where’s my baby?

There are a lot of things to cry with this Christmas.

I resign!!!

Blood_gal_large6 I resigned from my job, purchased my dream cam, locked my room and finished my animes. Well, there is alot more to do though. Retype my thesis, redo my thesis and finish my thesis. Thesis is all in my head right now. Again. Like duh. I’ve been trying to escape it for a year and three months. Oh look who’s counting? Yeah I’m THAT bothered.

My way of escape are my babies. My animes. My sugoi, kawai animes.

It’s a good thing I’ve quit my job, though. I’ve never been so stressed in my whole life.

I just finished watching Blood+ which is a good anime. My father thinks I’m odd watching violent animes because it really does not suite me. He really does not know that I have visions murdering Cueshe. Man, that band sucks! Copying Incubus’ The Warmth baselines into their song?!? That’s soooo pathetic. I wants their heads off with blood gushing fountaining on their necks! Hang them in a cellar where they would rut and nobody will find them but in hell!HAHAHA!!! Meanwhile back to the anime, I think it’s rather a cold love story between a Chiropteran (vampire) Queen and her chevalier. Too much slicing. The storyline involves genetic engineering and stuff that most guys don’t want to hear. I recommend it.

Set-up your own WAP @ home…

1. You will need a computer. (Of course.)

But make sure it has a wireless adapter installed. A wireless notebook adapter for laptops may it be built-in or external and a wireless PCI adapter for the desktops.

Asus_lamborghini_vx1

2. An internet connection.

Hmmm… Cable or DSL??? Does not matter. As long as it’s active and it’s there.

3. A router or an acess point.

Directusbstore

Make sure that it’s also configured properly with the internet connection you have. They usually have a UI so just follow the instructions on the user guide and if you’re getting an ipaddress on the status page then maybe you’re good to go.

5. Personalize your wireless network.

If you do not know how to set this up then call tech support. It is also found at the router’s set-up page. Type in a name for your SSID and do not forget to secure it. And, for the love of God, remember your password or otherwise known as the network key.

6. Site your network.

The laptop comes with a wireless utility that manages the wireless card. Use it to find the name of your network and connect to it. If it’s asking for a network key then type it in. It is always recommended to secure the network. You don’t want anybody to be piggy-backing on your network, right?

7. Surf and slide.

Already connected to the wireless network? Great! Now you’re already Wifi. Look ma! No wires!!

Back to school…

I miss school.

Maybe I have left off for some side quests but I’ll be back for my main quest.

And if there is someone…

Then it must something worthwhile to witness.

What’s on my mind?

…is how to hug him from behind. Damn. There is no way that I can do that. Not unless… something impossible will happen.

Well life’s almost an RPG game… just ALMOST.

Me… Me… Me…

Weeks after wandering in a rural plain, I just want to press rewind. Play–rewind–play–rewind. Ahhh… The wonders of being free from work bondage even for a few days restore my life’s this and that. I just miss my gurlies, that’s all. Correction. Beautiful gurlies.

mwahhhhh....

One can always count on friends. I do. Specially on heartaches.

I am still hurting. My heart is still bleeding. People around wonder why I got big breakouts now on my face. Maybe I’m too stressed or maybe I’m just making things complicated–again. I dont know. But I am not afraid of these feelings. I am so glad that I am not numb of the piercing dagger because I know that these feelings are real. The more I think about it though, the more it causes me to drown on melancholic thoughts. I try well to struggle my way out of it but I think I am planted on quick sand–sinking–sinking. The sad part of it though is that the only person who held the stick to pull me out is the same person who stabs the same spot of my heart over and over and over again.

Nothin’s gonna stop us…

I just exhaled a long breath of stress…

Dang this too much complications. Things are just going complicated. Complicate this and complicated that.

But all I really want to say is that:

I just wanna close his eyes and kiss him soundly on the cheek like I don’t care what the hell the world would say.

Tell him that there is no reason to be lonely no more and no reason to be left in the dark corner alleys.

(Don’t just stand there when I give a hug!! Hug me back, you idiot!)

Everything is all up to him. My everything is all for him now.
