Musings :: 2010 04 23

  • Attended my sister’s graduation from the College of Education.  It was disorganized compared to Engineering’s but the way people showed appreciation to their Dean (Who I hear is a wonderful teacher.) and other Educ faculty was heart warming.
  • Whenever I hear NO or am about to say NO to anything/anyone a part of me repeats this quote. ““Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
  • What has always been my irk with the operators and spin doctors of Villarroyo is how they seem to play us for fools. A little subtlety please.
  • I miss school. I think it started when I had a John Hughes marathon and felt nostalgia for school stuff. I must be getting old. yuck.
  • I was able to sample a lot of dishes from 145 Fahrenheit for Pam’s(My sister’s) grad lunch out. Food was great.
  • Was able to watch 2 Filipino films this week. Anne Curtis and Sam Milby’s Babe, I love you and Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee’s Paano ko sasabihin. Let’s just say that Babe, I love you would have failed if not for Anne Curtis spirited acting and that indefinable quality known as charisma, she just overflows with this unlike Sarah Geronimo or Bea Alonzo who needs a solid script and a great character to shine. Paano ko sasabihin? was the opposite. They had solid but leaning to the weak side performance of both leads but had a better than average material (script soundtrack peg etc) who suffered greatly from the malady of the ending is decided by how you view the world malady that Richard Linklater seems to love.
  • PS:: Anne Curtis’ legs would be the second best reason to watch this film, although you see a lot of that in Showtime. hehehe . joke!
