A Charmed Life: Life's a Play!

.



i was working on my stuff when I felt very sleepy. i thought I'd have a short nap then come back to work. turned out my intended short nap lasted for a couple of hours! I felt famished and fatigued upon awakening. must be because of a very stressful dream! i was really stressed from my sleep that i felt driven to go out and relax and smell fresh air, or just unwind. i thought of going jogging in the woods but t'was late for that. my stomach grumbled but there's no food in the house and i was sooo hungry to even prepare for food. so where else to go to ease off but to the mall?!


i thought it's a good chance to watch "Imaginarium," a movie I've been considering to see but never had a better time. so went quickly downtown to the mall, grabbed a couple of donuts and a cup of sarsi. too bad, Imaginarium had its last show a couple of hours earlier. the only 'now showing' movie that doesn't hint of violence is Valentine's Day. i came to the movies solely for relaxation and Valentine's Day seemed to be the only choice i had.


i have to say that i wasn't disappointed. in fact, the movie was better than I expected (and i didn't expect much since all i wanted was to have a light and easy evening). even if i didn't get to see Johnny Depp in Imaginarium, Ashton Kutcher's acting didn't disappoint me. as always, Ashton is good, i think, not just a pretty-face boy. hihi...


i'm not going to say anything more about the movie since this is not a movie review... just an occasional idle chatter. :-) .

it's winter time in places where there is winter :-), yep northern hemisphere.


i LUV winter. oh, i lived for two years in "snow-country," a place where tons of snow lasts for almost half a year. yeah, it was really depressing for many, specially that we were all away from home. but I didn't make a fuss much about the weather then. perhaps because there were just lots of things to do. i mean, if schoolwork and deadlines come to you like avalanche themselves, you don't really have time to think about the weather...


with my very limited photo-manipulating abilities, i tried my best to make these old photos look better, but it seems this is how good it can get. (these were re-shoot pictures from a hard-copy photo album, since i have no photo scanner)...

..... i am kinda feeling very lazy to post lately.
............ that feeling of "aversion" to blog has struck again... unfortunately.





anyway, i think the simplicity of this meme would be enough "update" for now. (while at the back of my mind, a voice says, 'there's no need to update?') ha ha.




8 MOVIES I watched recently:


1. Avatar
2. 2012
3. This Is It (MJ)
4. The Proposal
5. Red Cliff
6. Mr. & Mrs. Smith
7. The Ugly Truth

8. ------- i don't remember anymore as i have to go as far back as last year if i have to complete the list... i now only watch movies on big screen, or rarely, through internet download, as i have totally discarded the TV and my DVD player had mysteriously stopped functioning.....




8 THINGS I look forward to:

1. starting a rumba dance lesson with a friend, yikes!

2. go to hot-spring tomorrow (hopefully, supposed to be today but...)

3. attend a Benguet Kanyaw feast on the 13th, sat. (hopefully)

4. hiking on the 14th, sun.

5. attend a FREE Hebrew language class beginning on the 6th, sat. [i'm still considering this freebie.. i absolutely love to learn languages (and along with the free classes, they give free snacks too! plus a certificate at the end, though i'm not really interested on that little piece of paper which is supposed to certify that I learned Hebrew?) ... the catch is, the place is relatively far, and...and i hope this is a religiously non-partisan thing :-)]


6. Looking forward to moving to a "new" place.

7. ... and friends and I re-painting and re-decorating the new place.

8. finally, always looking forward to SUCCESS, :-)
