Shall we venture into the final frontier?

April 30, 2008

I’m pretty excited! New trailer looks a whole lot cooler than the past ones — I wonder though, would this be the disappointment of the nerd community? It seems a lot more Hollywood like than the past movies, so I don’t know what to expect! Script’s all hush-hush too.

Lots of famous young stars, plus one from the original cast ("Live long and prosper."). M:I 3 director JJ Abrams to direct the film. :) Cool.

Check the trailer here

Do you know what I’m talking about yet?

I hate being sick.

April 29, 2008

The coughing’s wearing me out, my chest is painful, my throat is sore, and my head is heavy — I want a shower, but I’m not in the mood for that either. Maybe in a bit. I wonder if I’ll be okay enough to focus on studying for the LSAT tomorrow. And even more crucial right now, will I be feeling great enough to work on Wednesday? Or should I let go of the shift?

Sigh.

Maybe somebody would take it. If I still feel crappy Wednesday, I’m calling in sick.

I hope I’m not spreading the bug with all my coughing. :p Best way to spread a virus, y’know…

From George Orwell

April 28, 2008

in "Politics and the English Language":

  • Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
  • Never use a long word where a short one will do.
  • If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
  • Never use the passive voice where you can use the active.
  • Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
  • Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Out, out, out…

April 26, 2008

I’ve worn myself out with relentlessly going out every night… After getting home at 12 noon today, you would think I’d be too tired to do anything. But no. I shall be out again this evening…then later tonight…then tomorrow… Sunday, it would do me good to stay at home and study.

Well, this was exactly how I wanted to spend my week.

Sorry…I have to bring up this topic again… MALE GYMNASTS! They’re muscled but lean, they’re conditioned, really flexible, balanced, and uber strong. *sigh* Plus, they’re really sexy and impressive.

I really have a thing for male gymnasts and parallel bars. LOL! Oh…and the rings… Hihihi.

But I don’t regret never pursuing gymnastics myself… Dangerous sport. 

P.S. Wicked rhythmic gymnastics from a 4 yearold!!!!

Sleepless in Sea…I mean, Toronto

April 16, 2008

It’s 3:57 am. I wanted to go home a lot later, but everybody sleeps so early here. And I quote Jayvi, "Di lahat vampira katulad mo." ("Not everybody’s a vampire like you.") LOL. I found that funny, but it’s true. I sleep in the afternoons, and I’m awake at night.

Restless as I am, I’m in the mood for an exciting conversation. Unfortunately, everyone in Toronto’s asleep, and everyone in the Philippines is busy.

Blah

I told myself that I’d keep myself busy and go out as often as possible this week… It’s a Saturday night, and I’m just here at home doing nothing. I suppose I could ask people if they want to go out… But I’m not. Hmm. I’m tired anyway!  If people call me, then I’ll say yes. Otherwise, I think I’m just going to rest my feet.

It’s a wet and miserable day today.

I hate rain.

Nap. A nap sounds good.

Work. Work. Work.

April 12, 2008

Worked three shifts this week instead of the one I was originally scheduled for. For the first time, I accepted two extra shifts! I guess I realized there was a lot to pay for.

A triumph for the day: I managed to stop myself from buying a dress that I looked hot in. Hahaha. Hollywood stars have that dress…I want that dress…But it’s $300. Maybe I’ll just make my own. For $100 or something!

Lonely.

April 6, 2008

I miss having a confidante I could turn to at any time of the day. Somebody who needs me as much as I need him or her. Who wants to apply? Who’s as pathetic and as needy as me?
