Something New..

One down from my list of must-see movies. I was a little bit disappointed with Beowulf though 'coz it wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be. I've read it way back and they've somehow captured the essence of the story. What amazed me was the animation. It was so realistic that even the hair strands were moving. I was more into looking at the details rather than the movie as a whole. I also watched One More Chance. Cheesy but I don't care. It was actually a nice movie. It was a happy ending [as always..] but at least it wasn't as common as most Filipino movies are. I even watched it twice. Sunday and before I came here in the office tonight. I won't spoil it for those who are still planning to see it.

Something new? My hair. My friend Joedel was here and he wanted to try Bench Fix. Being the supportive friend that I am, I cut my hair too. Ever since I cut it short back in high school, I've never grown it long. Well, once I think second year college. It had always been short but recently, I had to grow it 'coz.. hehehehe he might read this so nevermind. I was feeling good after the cut with the blower and all. Then I realized the stylist took more than a couple of inch. Here's the picture in case you're wondering, LOL.

Before.

After. Sigh. Six months.. Six months and it'll be long again..

Was it signal # 1 or 2 yesterday? It was definitely a storm with the canopy tents in Ayala flying everywhere and a part of the wall collapsing. We were asked not to report for work. We waited for more than an hour for a taxi only to find out that there's no electricity at my place. It was a gloomy day and I don't even want to think about it.

I'm nervous. I dunno what will happen after our meeting. Everybody's here.. They said we'll call it a night as soon as we're done with it. Sheesh. Gotta go now..

Movies!

Weekend was fun! Had dinner and coffee last Saturday night with some of my former officemates. I swore not to blog about that person again [unless provoked] so I'm not gonna go into details. Went to a movie on Sunday afternoon. One word for Kung Fu Fighter - BORING. What happened after the movie though was all but.. **wink**

Here's a list of movies I can't wait to see.

Beowulf
IMDb: The warrior Beowulf must fight and defeat the monster Grendel who is terrorizing towns, and later, Grendel's mother, who begins killing out of revenge.


Lions for Lambs
IMDb: Injuries sustained by two Army ranger behind enemy lines in Afghanistan set off a sequence of events involving a congressman (Cruise), a journalist (Streep) and a professor (Redford).



The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
IMDb: The Pevensie siblings return to Narnia, where they are enlisted to once again help ward off an evil king and restore the rightful heir to the land's throne, Prince Caspian.


The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
IMDb: A lonely boy discovers a mysterious egg that hatches a sea creature of Scottish legend.



Enchanted
IMDb: A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess (Amy Adams) from the past who is thrust into present-day by an evil queen (Susan Sarandon). Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer (Patrick Dempsey). Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?


The Game Plan
IMDb: An NFL quarterback living the bachelor lifestyle discovers that he has an 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.


Khai, Angel and I met for lunch earlier. We wanted to go videoke-ing [is there even a word for it?!] so we went to Blowing Bubbles. A microphone and a couple of packs of Marlboro equals beer equals fun! Too bad all three of us have work tonight, we limited ourselves to four bottles.

We're gonna have our Monday potluck dinner in awhile so I better go freshen up. If something comes up later, I'll surely update this entry.
