Break Point

"Defeat is not the worse of failures. Not to have tried is a true failure."

A little lightheaded

August 9, 2009

 

I woke up a bit dizzy today, hangover! I missed the feeling of getting drunk and so i enjoyed it last night at Pork Barrel with Addi and Gold. In the midst of academic intoxication and tiring yet relentless passion for service, i engaged myself in a state where i can be easygoing. It was so damn good! laughing out loud, worrying about nothing, thinking randomly, listening, watching, commenting, just being the ordinary and the wild just to ease off the stress in our minds and bodies. But before we got drunk we were at Trinoma on movie marathon.

At around 4:30 pm Addi and Gold came to my apartment to fetch me, i was asleep when they arrived. They woke me up and told me that i have to dress up because the movie The Proposal will start at 5:10 and so i rushed into the bathroom and hurriedly took a shower. Apparently, we didn’t make it on or before 5:10 so we decided to watch the 7:50 GI Joe instead. After buying tickets we agreed to have dinner at Bigoli. While walking our way to the restaurant we passed by a live shoot of Lucy Torres-Gomez’s and Wilma Doesnt’s The Sweet Life show. Wow! Lucy is very beautiful, i was really amazed! 

Going back to the movie, GI Joe was a badass! Anna was hot! It was fun, scifi-ish and action-packed! - the kind of movie that i am willing to watch over and over again. It’s now on my official list of favorite movies along with Star Trek, Pearl Harbor, Eagle Eye and Stealth. And the Nanomites? well what can I say, it’s the word of the night! 

 I thought that the next thing that we will do after we get out of the cinema is to head home but NO!!! We found ourselves in front of the ticket booth again! queueing for The Proposal! We really can’t struggle against our desire to watch it because this is the only weekend where we found ourselves free from council commitments after the month-long Engineering Cup. So we thought that we need to reward ourselves with movies, we didn’t get much stress-free activities for over a month after all.

The Proposal was a light one and very funny! We’re a trio of weird laughers, we laugh like there’s no tomorrow! Everybody was already over a funny scene but we’re still not over it, still laughing. There’s this one scene where Addison’s laugh shined the most! You can probably hear his laugh on the Zth row, we were on row D! Nobody beat Addi’s laugh! The winning scene was when grandma Annie faked her heart attack just so they can ride a plane and catch Margaret’s flight back to NY. It was one hell of a good time movie.

 We left Trinoma at 12am , we took a cab back to my apartment. All set to go home, Gold suddenly felt the urge to get drunk! Can’t help it again! The feeling of wanting to unwind! We spent the rest of our time in Pork Barrel with two buckets of Red Horse and Pork Sisig chatting about acads, personal life, esc life and some random stuffs. We spent some money in that night out but it’s all worth it, at least we had a fresh start for the upcoming acad demands and of course EMC!

Icon of democracy

August 5, 2009

 Taken From Cory laid to rest beside Ninoy - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

“The procession brings back memories of 1983. Like 1983, the people lined the procession route to show their appreciation, gratitude and love to Tita Cory who served the country with her heart. Tita Cory loved the country the way she loved Ninoy - selflessly,” Tanada said. 

I didn’t know what happened during her administration because i was just a kid but from what i’ve read in the books and heard from the news she was a great leader who gave her all for the Filipinos. Thank you President Cory Aquino for restoring the democracy of our country.

The guy behind the posts

I'm Ven, a 4th year BS Computer Science student from University of the Philippines, Diliman. My life revolves around the the campus preoccupied with acads, esc and other extra-curricular stuff. Originally from Palawan, I'm living semi-independently for almost five years now. Yep, I'm from the country's last frontier! I miss home, the fresh air, the silence, the beach, the old friends, the old way of living.

 

Movie is my cup of tea, sci-fi and comedy are my favorites. Count me in when it comes to laughing out loud and eating! I love outdoors, i can ride jetski all day long and i don't care if I get burned because it's fun! I also enjoy skin diving, seeing the beauty of the underwater world is awesome. Traveling is also in my activity list, I've been to some countries in Asia already and I want to tour the world someday.

I’ve not spent that much time in the Philippines but its clear to me it’s an amazing land. Anyway, I just commented here because I’m browsing blogs about the Philippines and found your site through google. If you have any ideas on places to try while in Manila then I would really love to hear them. Happy Holy Week!
