Twice I've sighed on this kind of light

I never really liked Twilight and thankfully enough, I didn't give a thought of watching any of the series at the cinema. However yesterday just to say I've seen it, I downloaded the last sequel of the series. And tonight, I have... painfully finished watching breaking dawn part 2. I couldn't sit through the whole 2 hours of the film, hence I skipped some scenes.

These are some of the things that I've noticed (watched it all for the sake of criticizing this horrible crap).

1. The lens. The company they tapped must have become rich by now. I don't know if there's a natural look for a vampire, but I guarantee that none of the stars ought to look like them.

2. The swiveling door. Throughout the film, the camera pans in and out as the actors tries to look at someone or at Bella. Pan here, swivel to the left and right.

3. The comical stare. In relation to the lenses they have worn, I can't help but pick on their wide eyed gazes while they talk to one another. Needless to say, their actions and mannerism were done poorly. It was as if they were on stage... practicing their lines. But then again, what would you expect from them.

4. Gory titillates both the director and writer's taste. I can only hope they have seen Hitchcock's series and know that for a suspense sort of action movie, it doesn't necessarily need ripping heads off etc.

I'd rate this film on a scale of 1-10, 1 for their effort and wasting my time.

Detoxing Mind from Ramblings

***
I've started watching Led Zeppelin concerts some days ago. I initially didn't like it but after watching Song Remains the Same again, I eventually fell in love. It was an overwhelming feeling to see Robert (the young) go wild on stage together with Jimmy Page, Bonzo and John Paul. Why can't concerts be like the ones they did before? Why can't singers be as diverse, creative and funky as they were?

Led Zeppelin, together with Queen, David Bowie, The Doors and The Who are all the "bestest bands" ever. If there is one thing I ever regret is to have been born way ahead of their time.

Does anyone have a magic pill  called 'wind the hands of time'?

I love to work but hate the stress.

Pinaiyak nanaman ninyo ako

Pinaiyak nanaman ninyo ako....

.... in a good way.

It was right after the group performance that one of their classmates (sorry iho, I'll try to remember names next time),  told me the whole class was to give me something. I was naturally surprised. I didn't, even in my wildest dreams, expect to be serenaded and offered sweet messages from my students.. from them.

Ang bait nyo, sobra. Dapat ako magbigay ng tribute sa inyo.

Salamat po ng marami, salamat, salamat.

God bless.

This is My Space... or so I think it is

Should I have now the reservation to post anything, even if it doesn't concern the institution? I am but an ordinary person part of a burgeoning society. Would my opinion matter and be used against me if the text is interpreted vindictively against them... or it?

To be continued.

Shades of activities

Random thoughts just before I wrap things up for tonight.

I am exquisitely thankful the 2-day exam is over. Happy moments with review buddies, Eva M. and Pat I. will surely be missed! I look forward to the next stage of this course.

What does 50 Shades of Grey mean?

Shades I know, but what makes it 50? LOL. I have no blonde moments but out of curiosity I downloaded the pdf version of E.L. James' book. Initially, I thought it was just all about the mundane desires of a guy.. Lo and behold.. it was.

The first few chapters of the book was entertaining. I was thinking that the author wanted to get straight to her point--- instantaneous coital relationships with the characters. A great deal of suspension of disbelief is necessary in order to accept the story from the heroine's perspective.

I finished reading it, skipping the lengthy contracts they have included in the first series of the novel. I may have missed in great detail their talk slash quarrel about the food... among other clauses that needed to be struck out. It was too repetitious, phrases (exact) appeared so many times... this is the type of book I wouldn't want to read all over again. 

My copy of James' book is now heading straight to recycle bin and in a few seconds, will be departing from my lappy's hard drive.

Mayabang Ako Ngayon.

Mayabang Ako Ngayon.

Earlier today(it's Mary's Birthday!), I gave an (first) examination to my literature class. I have been putting it off for so long a time. It was either my students weren't ready or I was just too reluctant to give any. Halfway through perhaps with the exam, I glanced over a student who reciprocated me with a smile. I don't remember if I smiled back. I was busy at the time reading my notes that I'd be presenting at the graduate school. After few minutes, I decided to make my rounds in the room and then... she approached me. She asked me to read a story printed on a paper. Admittedly I was hesitant.. and inquired if what she wanted me to read was a chain mail. She quickly quipped it wasn't and I felt obliged to read it anyway.

The story I read was about a student who was suppose to give a ribbon to a person whom he thinks has changed his life... view the whole article... check the whole article out: http://www.snopes.com/glurge/difference.asp. Mind you though... I've no suicidal tendencies but it's the thought that counts. ;)

After reading it, she 'awarded' me a blue ribbon in front of class and endearingly said that I've made a difference in their or her life.

Salamat sa class ninyo. I would have to say, you bring out the best and good in me. Salamat BSA 1-11.





it reads, "Diosa, The Best"
