oh yes, i am a movie buff

what have i been up to lately?

i've been busy with school work and org work. the election for new officers for OrgASM (Organization of Area Studies Major) is over and i didn't blow that one. i thought i was going to screw up that up (i was appointed as COMELEC chairman) but it was a success. i have to give credit to my COMELEC counterparts too. thank you, guys. i wouldn't have done it without you *flying kiss* (haha! that last part is a joke, of course! :P

so anyway, Apple slept over with Sarah during the weekend. we had fun, of course. we had a movie marathon. not only am i a bookworm, i am also a movie buff! so anyway, these are the movies that i got to see over the weekend:

My Sassy Girl
when i first saw this movie on thursday, i was tired and uber sleepy from school. but i was too excited to watch the movie and went ahead anyway. i ended up sleeping after the first disc of the 2 dvds was over, the first part bored me. last night i watched it again and this time i was "in the mood" to watch it. guess what? i absolutely loved it! i love it to pieces especially the second disc. i love the story and the ending. the cinematography was marvelous and i wish that there are places like the places that showed in the movie (in Korea, of course) here in the Philippines. my kind of resting (literally!) place. not burial place, ok?

Chasing Liberty
when this movie was shown in local cinemas, i didn't even think of watching it because i thought it was going to be another cheesey chick flick. it was cheesey, alright. a chick flick too but i liked it, nevertheless. a lot might disagree with me but oh well :P told you i'm shallow. i'm no movie critic anyway. so yes, this made me melt inside. aside from the story, i also like the places where the movie was shot. in Europe, of course! wow, i'd really want to go backpacking in Europe. you know, a spontaneous thing. as long as i have enough moolah in my pockets, a bag with my essentials, a cellphone, and a camera, then i'm good to go! oh, of course i need my Schengen visa too! i'll take the train all around Europe and live life as if Time does not exist. wouldn't that be stellar?

Laws of Attraction
today was the second time i watched this. i love Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan (not because he's HOT which he REALLY is). i think married couples should the message of the movie seriously because divorce is not the only option. couples should try harder to work things out not give in to whatever difficulties they're facing.

School of Rock
watched this for the second time too. i loved it because there are kids in it. i love kids and the story is animated. it's a feel-good movie that i won't mind watching again and again.

13 Going on 30
another favorite feel-good chick flick! not only am i a Jennifer Garner fan (ALIAS!!), it's also set in New York and the story is good. i also think the guy is cute although some of my friends think he's not. he's cute in a dorky way which makes him even more adorable. some guys are cute without them knowing that they are. that makes them even cuter. i don't mind watching this again and again too! the movie also sends out the message that you shouldn't rush things while you're young because you'll end up regretting the things that you should have done when you had the chance. plus, the decisions you will make in the present will effect the chain of events that will happen in the future. it's like a domino effect. screw up your priorities then a series of screw-ups will follow and affect your life in the future.

i still haven't watched the 2 (out of 4) of the movies i bought in Quiapo last week:

1. Honey (i like watching dance movies like Center Stage)
2. Mystic River (i heard it's really good)

yes, i bravely went to Quiapo with Mitchie and Jeremy last thursday. movies galore!

wow. 1 movie last night and 4 movies in the morning. that must be a record haha :P i had fun! but now it's back to work. apple and i are working on our geology paper. i have a lot of term papers due next week (last week of classes) plus finals after that.

Lord, help me survive. i can't wait till sembreak! you too! wish me luck, will ya! :P
