Horoscope for 2009 (Taurus)

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Your astrological year is going to be one of change, but don’t worry, this isn’t necessarily of the unsettling kind. That might sound impossible, considering how much you hate upheaval of any sort, but these changes are more like updates and are really just a natural progression for your soul. You can resist them if you want to, but you’re more likely to make it harder for yourself, and although it’s a process ultimately to be reckoned in years, the effects will turn out much the same anyhow. You’d be wiser going with them, recognising that in time everything needs improvement, otherwise there’d be no computers, no TV, no microwaves and as for the wheel, boy what a nuisance that was…

Hapi New Year!

Meri Krismas!

The Love of Siam

In one of our countless chit-chats, Sheiglyn suggested that I watch The Love of Siam (Rak Saeng Sayam). I am not really fond of watching movies, unless I am tasked to submit a reflection paper or so, so I just said I would watch it if I could grab a copy of the film. Yeah, that was actually synonymous to saying simply, ‘No.’

While I was surfing the net one day, I clicked on the Cinemanila link from one of the pages that I viewed. It revealed the list of the winners for the Cinemanila International Film Festival; included in the roster of winners was Mario Maurer for The Love of Siam, the movie that my film-buff confidante suggested. I instantly thought the film was worth watching (this may sound an insult to Sheiglyn, a film major from UP, because I didn’t heed her suggestion at first and did doubt the ‘worth’ of the film) since it was internationally recognized so i downloaded it immediately.

Tonsillitis

Since Friday, my tonsils have launched mutiny against me. They want change in habit when I eat chocolates and sweet food. They argue that if I won’t drink water so often or every after my intake of sweets, they won’t hesitate to repeat uprisings.

The mutiny doesn’t bother me really. But every time I remember what my mom, supported by my friends, told me – that tonsillitis causes heart disease – I start to worry. I don’t want to die at this young age! I haven’t bought a car yet nor have I went to Thailand. Tsktsktsk. I am too young to die! =(

Twilight and my 170 pesos

Two weeks ago, Danielle asked me to watch Twilight with her through a text message. When I read it, I immediately said yes – not because I really wanted to watch the film (I am not familiar with it as I am not a movie aficionado), but because of the fact that we haven’t seen each other and ‘dated’ for more than a year. We scheduled the date on Saturday, the week after I received the message (that was two Saturdays ago).

Days before Saturday, one of my professors told the class that she watched Twilight and was disappointed. The story, the effects were not superb, not even good. Even the protagonists, she said, were not really attractive. What a waste of money, she ended.

Ang Harurot ng Bente Pesos

Halos mahalikan ko ang kalbong ulo ng drayber nang bigla itong prumeno. Dahil sa bilis ng takbo nito, nawala kaming apat na pasahero sa kinauupuan namin sa biglang pag-apak ng paa ng drayber sa preno nang may makitang pusang tumawid. Sa lakas ng preno, narating namin ang harang o ‘yung sandalan ng drayber. Napasigaw tuloy ang ilang pasahero dahil sa pagkabigla at pagka-untog at pagkatilapon ng gamit at pagkainis – kabilang na ako.

Tuloy ang biyahe.

Aghast!

Two days ago, another sure-hit drama enfolded on national television top-billed by no less than the Senate President himself Manny Villar. Entitled ‘I Resign!,’ the new soap opera, shown on all networks in the country, was a big hit during its pilot telecast later on Monday afternoon, November 17; it is expected to do good in the rating’s game in the coming days.

Senator Villar decided to resign from the highest post in the upper legislative chamber upon realizing he lost support from the majority of his colleagues. His resignation paved the way for the installation of a new leadership under Senator Juan Ponce Enrile.

Hail to the king and his favorite tv shows!

I always look forward to the day when time is so bashful to give me a turbulent schedule. It is during this moment when I am crowned the king (dandararaaannnnn!) of our sala, who is being attended to by my little sister and her yaya, who, by then, are metamorphosed into my loyal and indefatigable minions! The king’s throne, the couch in front of the television, is surrounded with toys and gadgets, which he turns to whenever ennui attacks him, and lots of food and chocolate, which his minions devotedly cater.

The beloved king zestfully enjoys commanding his little minion to open the television, and the older minion to prepare ‘offerings’ for him. The monarch is innately selfish and really domineering, but undoubtedly wise. His facade obliterates cruelty and poses sympathy. He permits his little minion to sit beside and eat with him. He also allows the older minion to taste and eat the food she prepares for him.

The King: This is actually my strategy for them not to launch mutiny against me!
