august 22, 2009... what a day...
1. worked from 7am-3pm...
2. went to gaisano mall to buy a gift for mafe...
3. got mugged (shoulder to shoulder with the amount of people) right at the mall's entrance...
4. phone nearly got snatched (it was technically snatched (the old sandwich MO) but the kawatan dropped it when i managed to grab a hold of his arm... then, i whacked (girlishly, i'm afraid) the back of his head, jumped on the escalator and gave him the finger)...
5. met up with cherry (and tone and ken) and ate one of her donuts...
6. went home to rest before attending mafe's birthday party (ended up sleeping for about 30 minutes)...
7. got lost on the drive home to mafe's crib...
8. led the prayer for mafe's dinner...
9. ate, drank, chitchatted, sang at the party...
10. got a text from tone and cherry saying they're at bakbak...
11. said as much to mafe and her eyes bulged (most of her guest had already left and cris was a no-show)...
12. finally left mafe's crib (after much persuasion and guilt tripping with her father)...
13. hopped on to mafe's boylet's car (pretty nice car, by the way) and joined in on the late night city traffic...
14. caught up with the people at bakbak and drank...
15. went to evibe and danced and drank...
16. went back to mafe's place to pick up the pickup...
17. went home and watched a few games of federerVmurray cincy semis match (federer won... woot!!!)...
18. slept! whew!

movies movies post #9
ghosts of girlfriends past - 2/5
synopsis: playboy gets haunted by his dead uncle and old lovers to make him realize his one true love...
- not another matthew mcconaughey womanizer alpha male movie?!
- the cliche of the movie just kills the humor (and i watched this with a heavy cold... weh...)
- jennifer garner is still as cute as ever (she got a little skinny though...)
in bruges - 5/5 !!!
synopsis: 2 hitmen holes up in a "shithole" town in belgium but the "vacation" turns into some much more than they expected...
- weeeeeee... the first movie to hit the perfect score...
- it's so cute how colin farell is all whiny and suicidal and insulting in the movie... very impressive acting, i must say... no wonder he got the gloden globe for the role...
- i really really liked this movie... very well written and played out... must see...

it's actually just 1 movie, though...
public enemies - 3/5
synopsis: john dillinger robs banks and the fbi people are out to get him...
- how i love johnny depp's swooning smirk...
- michael mann film = dizzy camera movement movie...
- the gunfights are really, really loud...
- it's funny how dillinger just swoop in places being the public enemy #1 and the people around just don't notice...
- channing tatum only having 1 tiny scene = boooooooooooooo!

roger roger #3
for the longest time already, i have this feeling that when i watch a live roger federer match, he'll lose... i said as much to my good friend who's also a roger fan and she told me to either not watch any of his matches or tell her that i'd be watching his matches so that she wouldn't blame me if he lost...
so... rogers cup 2009 at montreal... it's the quarterfinals and for the first time in history of the open era, all the top 8 players/seeds are in the quarters... i just got home from a sorta date with blue and the murrayVdavydenko match was still on... after nearly an hour, the match was finished (murray won) and the federerVtsonga match was getting under way around 3am...
tight first set that led to a tiebreak and then big guy tsonga dove on the hard hardcourt to get to a volley... he bangs his right arm and elbow to the ground and roger was poised to hit back the short ball but he friggin nets it! and so, tsongs wins the first set 7-6 (5)...
onto the second set... a rather burn out tsonga play poorly and even called for an injury timeout for his arm/elbow... roger takes no mercy and swiftly takes the second set 6-1... by then, i was resting my eyes every change of ends and rests and commercials...
third set and roger double breaks a weary tsonga... the score was 5-1 in favor for roger... i thought then, "ah, roger's gonna win this for sure" and i was already so sleepy and i wasn't watching properly... and then for some reason, tsonga is revived and managed to double break back... around this time, roger's serve was pretty lousy and tsonga was pulling all the stops with his aggressive play... of course by then, all my sleepiness was gone as i cheered roger on... then, suddenly, on roger's service game (5-6), he was down 3 match points... thank goodness, he forced errors off tsonga's racquet and saved all of them to take the game and let the set to be decided with a tiebreak... by then, roger's serve was really really bad enough to double fault to give tsonga the game-set-match... i turned off the tv right away so that i wouldn't see roger's disappointed face (i did see him take off his bandana in a sad way...)...
the match ended around 515am and i thought, shit, i should've just gone to bed right away when tsong took the first set (i was going to but i thought, what the heck, just finish the match...)...
dang i think i send bad juju to roger's game... maybe i should just watch if it's the championship match or something... oh well, there's still cincinnati and the us open... allez, roger! 6 in a row, baby! allez!

(been so busy at work lately...)

manga fruit taste test #2
kaikan phrase - 4/5
synopsis: hot rockstar guy + baby-faced songwriter girl = cliched but sexy couple... (sexy only because of the guy, sakuya...)
- it's amusing how the art changed (for the better, fortunately) over the years... (manga first started in 1997!)
- there's the standard you're-an-idol-so-i-don't-deserve-you, also the get-away-from-my-idol-bitch and also the i'm-not-really-beautiful-but-i've-all-these-guys-fighting-over-me-and-even-one-guy-raping-me-but-i-belong-only-to-sakuya... (too many dashes...)
- ah right, there's also the i-can't-get-enough-of-you-even-though-i-make-love-to-you-everyday... (i like the make love part though)...
- overall, even with all the cliches (i'm almost immune to cliches, anyway), it's a good enough manga...
- did i mention sakuya's hot? oh, i already did? you sure?
- mangaka: Shinjo Mayu
- genre: shoujo
- 17 volumes + 1 special

music stalk - victim #4: fight the bad feeling by t-max
being a music and melody person (not so much on the lyrics), i could really appreciate songs i couldn't really understand...
this is from the boys over flowers show and one of the f4, woo bin, is part of the t-max boys (he doesn't sing much here, though... he's the rapper/talker here...)... and i really thought there was a girl singing here... turns out to be a boy with a really girly voice... amazing...
at first, i wasn't into this song but it got played over and over at the office and i ended up liking it...
