I Have To Watch This...

Fast Track

Medyo busy reading for my papers sa Kas 204. Solong-solo ko si Ma'am Camagay nung first meeting hahaha. I actually wanted to report early since various plans are brewing next month and into August ehem ehem. Will provide details soon...

I am now almost finished with Joaquin Martinez de Zuñiga's Status of the Philippines in 1800. I didn't realize how much I missed required reading materials. Next in my list is Volume 2 of O.D. Corpuz's Roots of the Filipino Nation. Makapal ito, Dios mio.

Per tradition, Landmark Foodcourt in Trinoma still serves as an (airconditioned) extension of the UP Main Library.

Kas 205 paper is on the fast track -- when I feel like it. hah!

What Lies Beyond the Event Horizon?

No one is really sure, though theories abound. I tried reading the wikipedia article on 'event horizon' but my comprehension conked out after three paragraphs.

I am now approaching the end of this (mis)adventure in Manila. I am approaching a new horizon filled with uncertainty but we have to trudge on, even with the faintest hope and notion of where we are truly headed.

Join me as I begin the journey to the end of this adventure. I face the coming end not with a sense of dread but a feeling of hopeful optimism (redundant?).

Don't worry folks. Just because we are at the beginning of the end doesn't mean that the wackiness will ease.

After all, this is sonofaditch we're talking about. hehe

This is my Stand Alone Complex on its last season.

See you beyond the Event Horizon...

Abangan...

Best bits:

1. "You may find this hard to believe...but I'm GAY."

2. "That is such a Samantha thing to say!"

3. "I gave him -- like -- a traditional African name...O.J."

4. "What type belt is that, candidate?"

"D and G..."

"What is D and G?"

"Dolce and Gabbana...hello?!"

"HELLO?!!!"

5. "How do you protect your self from being attack[ed] by homosexuals?"

"They probably would tackle from behind."

6. "How did you find your son?"

"I swapped him...for an Ipod!"

Marcus Wright is a Cylon. Sort of.

If you still haven't watched Terminator: Salvation, here's a tip -- ignore the plot holes and the sometimes absurd contrivances that barely manages to keep the story moving. Just enjoy the action and the explosions.

I especially liked the fact that objects manage to materialize in the little girl's hand when the occasion warrants it. Signal flare? remote detonator? No problem!
