Just Because

When was the last time I put something here because im just plain happy and contented? probably ages ago. So now i just want to spill some of the happy memories I had these past few days. I dont want this to be a Harry Potter post cause there are no words to really explain how ecstatic the whole world is right now. However, I still think I ought to say that watching it in 3D is the SHIZZZZ!!!!!! I probably curse the day i went all the way and watch Avatar in 3D alone (cause it's my 1st time seeing a movie alone and nausea kicks in after 5 mins of it) but Harry Potter is just perfect in 3D. It's not as overwhelming as Avatar so as to inflict more damage to my industrially blind eyes. or maybe just maybe we got the best seats...

Also, after that we went to CCP (Cinemalaya Yo!) to watch Ligo na U, Lapit na Me (a novel turned film by our brilliant mentor Sir Eros Atalia) to our most misfortune the tickets are all ready sold out. Our 2nd choice, Babae sa Septik Tank is already in full house as well so we resorted to Bisperas which to my dismay caused me a huge amount of headache. Shaky camera treatment + hideous lighting IS NOT COOL. You can call it indie, I call it lack of knowledge in cinematography. Oh yeah before that unpleasantness, Julien got to interview Sir Eros for an article she's working on and it feels so good to see his work out there! Adie also had a chance to have her book autographed while I just stood there giggling like a stupid girl. Me doing nothing while two of my friends actually made themselves visible. In any case I'll ask julien for a copy of the article so I can post it here.

After that we went to Robinson's Ermita for some clarification regarding the new process of releasing NBI Clearance If you are planning to go to any of these malls be forewarned that they only accept limited people per day. (Robinson's Galleria accepts only 300 people and they start to line up as early as 7am and the actual process starts at 10am, while Robinson's Ermita accepts only 500 people, same thing as Galleria that starts at 10am but people starts to pile up as early as 7am) I still havent figured out how to do this since I have work. Good thing they decided to have it on weekends as well. Probably just camp out one these days in one of the malls, fastfood + chips + music, yeah that should get me by.

Plus, consciously being in the middle of Manila, plus Huling El Bimbo blasting inside the cab is gives you that warmth and a sense of belongingness. Started grinning like a fool and looked outside the cab imitating a sofia coppola film. (oh and i always say maria instead of sofia whenever i talk about her, my head is not right obviously) I havent felt that for some time. Im so in love with Manila right now.
