Come next week, I plan to watch “100″, this year’s Cinemalaya Grand Prize Winner. Sypnosis below:
‘100‘ chronicles the last three months of a cancer patient, Joyce (Mylene Dizon), who has a list of things to do before she passes away. Her list of tasks, mostly practical undertakings and closures, expands to the worldly and spiritual as she shares her last days with her bestfriend, Ruby (Eugene Domingo), her mother (Tessie Tomas) and the people around her.
With an unbelievably endearing appeal to the audience, this comedy-drama film guarantees 100% satisfaction. It presents to its audience a light, youthful – even humorous take on a classic subject while never failing to tug at hearts and making the viewers reach for their hankies. Filled with hilarious and touching moments, 100 boasts of stunning performances from Mylene, Eugene, Tessie and the rest of its cast.
Movie Highlights: From Shooting in Hong Kong to Skinny Dipping in Bolinao
The film is shot in different locations in the Philippines and even abroad: the white-sand beaches of Bolinao, the miraculous shrine of Manaoag, the majestic Mt. Pinatubo crater and the tourist attractions of Hong Kong.
100’s much talked-about scenes include a skinny dipping scene where the three actresses strip down while running to the ocean, a trip to the best sites of Hong Kong and the opening and closing scenes shot in the breathtaking crater of Mount Pinatubo.
Cinemalaya’s Biggest Winner
100 bagged 5 major awards in the 2008 Cinemalaya Film Festival. It won Best Director and Best Screenplay (Chris Martinez), Best Actress (Mylene Dizon), Best Supporting Actress (Eugene Domingo) and the Audience Choice Award. A genuine crowd-pleaser, the film touched the hearts of its festival audience and earned the nods of the Jury composed of international and local film experts: Max Tessier of Cannes Film Festival, Ansgar Vogt of Berlin International Film Festival, Kim Ji Seok of Pusan International Film Festival, actor Cesar Montano and film critic Lito Zulueta.

I dunno who I am going to take to watch this movie, but I better bring someone since this might stroke my emotional button a little deeper than I would like. Also, it got me thinking again to trek Mt. Pinatubo next year, around January. I always liked trekking and I’ve always wanted to go to Mt. Pinatubo’s crater but not via the tourist route and means. I dunno, just being hardcore (not kuripot ha, the 4×4 rate is reasonable naman). I just missing walking up and down mountains. That’s all. To do list for January is the Mt. Pinatubo it is!

Just saw “Twilight” yesterday in Rockwell Cinemas.
I now consider myself, officially depressed!
Filed under: Personal
For the past week or so, I have been able to live with both my angels and demon side by side sharing space and time with my soul (uhmm, religious and physics at the same time… deep…). What are these? Let me enumerate… Demons goes first…
Demons
1. Alcohol – drinking like a sailor lately
2. Injuries – sprains, MCL, hamstrings strains, you name it
3. Over-eating – nuff said.
4. Laziness – sleeping 10 hrs. seems bitin pa.
5. Depression – I seem more melancholic than usual.
Angels (Not as many as above)
1. Faith – Been praying more, not necessarily more religious. There is a clear distinction.
2. Training – B-ball and running, being sidelined for a month makes you appreciate your healthy lifestyle and having fresh legs is not bad as well.
3. Eating healthy – Being sidelined with injuries made me grumpy and bulgy, I try to eat better now for chrisakes I am 28 I will not live forever. I get that now.
Hehe… more demons than angels. Not good, but still I am still alive aint I. Time will tell who ultimately gets my soul. For the meantime, I am enjoying the co-existence of both sides of the coin.

Was on my way home to Fairview, wanted to catch one of those “patok” bus plying along Guadalupe, Edsa when I suddenly saw a bus going to Dagupan City via Dau. I said to myself, ” Cool, if I wanted to go to Dau, I don’t have to go to all the way to Cubao to catch one.” Then the irony simultaneously hit me, why would I want to go to Dau in the first place (except to visit my Uncle Toto and his family, maybe)? Oh, visiting J is not part of my routine anymore. My enthusiasm died. How fleeting our joys are compared to our sorrows. Sniff… Sniff…
(Not the bus to Dau, people)
Double irony, when I saw that bus, the song that was playing on my MP3 player was Burn-Out by Sugarfree….
Kung iisipin mo, ‘di naman dati ganito
Teka muna, teka lang, kelan tayo nailang?
Kung iisipin mo, ‘di naman dati ganito
Kay bilis kasi ng buhay, pati tayo natangay
I felt sad thereafter. But people have to move on. I need to grow on. That is that. That is life.
Tinatawag kita, sinusuyo kita
‘Di mo man marinig, ‘di mo man madama
O, kay tagal din kitang mamahalin… Mamahalin!

I was expecting it to be a worm or a weasel. Oh well, atleast the daemon’s name sounds menacing.

This song was written by Lougee Basabas when she was with Mojofly.
Naka-relate ako. Sorry for the mushiness of this post. 
Close to the End
have you ever felt being there
have you ever found the sunshine on your hair
have you been under your skin
have you ever found the beauty from within
like an unfamiliar song
you can hum with all your heart
but you’ll never find the words
and i don’t wanna wake up
without you again
and i don’t wanna wake up
feeling so close to the end
have you ever thought of nothing else
as i wake up each day until the moment i lay my head on my bed
and as i close my eyes and cling to my pillow
though you’re miles away i still wait for the day that would never come
the stars are bound to die
it all makes no sense
i can’t take the chance
i don’t want to see you go
Enough Said…..

Nope, I’m not referring to my current occupation right now, I saw this test over somebody’s blog and tried it for size. I never believed in the traditional IQ test anyway. Below are the results:
According to the Myers Briggs test, I am an ENTJ (not related to the EENT, I think).
ENTJ – The “Chief” |
ENTJs are strategic, organized and possess natural leadership qualities. They are master coordinators that can effectively give direction to groups. They are able to understand complicated organizational situations and quick to develop intelligent solutions. ENTJs are outspoken and will not hesitate to speak of their plans for improvement. They are decisive and value knowledge, efficiency and competence.
All the while, I thought I was meant to be just chief kotong, all along. Hahaha.
Some of the famous ENTJ types are as follows:
Real ENTJ People
|
 |
|
Fictional ENTJs (Characters)
|
|
|
Consequently, the test also matches my personality to certain job . I was still surprised with results though because most of the jobs where some I really want to have in the future. Oh well, I can dream right? Those in bold are my preferred jobs.
ENTJs are often happy with the following jobs which tend to match well with the Chief/Intellectual personality.

From Globe’s website:
Globe, SingTel, Bharti Airtel and Optus to bring iPhone to the region
Manila, 12 May 2008 – Globe, SingTel, Bharti Airtel and Optus today announced that they have signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to the Philippines, Singapore, India, and Australia later this year.

I’m guessing, Globe would be one of the carriers that would launch the rumored 3G model since they are both scheduled for release on September. Poor me. Huhuhu.
