indie films, dieting & teen choice awards ‘06

watched kubrador (the bet collector) last saturday with the family. gina pareño had a stellar performance! she was beyond superb. it’s as if she wasn’t acting but you can feel that there are a lot emotions bottled up inside her. she tries to survive her everyday life and woes which gives her no time to worry about the big things like the death of her son and taking care of herself. and the story line and direction, wow! i was also happy to see soliman cruz & neil ryan sese (from the equally superb and multi-awarded film, ang pagdadalaga ni maximo oliveros) doing cameo roles. you should find time to watch kubrador because it’s one pinoy film worth seeing.

speaking of “maxi”, unitel will be showing the film again starting on sept. 20. it’s re-mastered in 35mm film. if you failed to catch it the first time around, this is the right time to go see it. it is definitely worth your money. we are so addicted to this film that we are going to watch it again. can’t wait to see ping medina in the big screen again. hehehe.

im starting to get my rewards for dieting. i bought my first pair of skinny jeans last sunday from bayo. hooray! and i’m a size 1 (small)! yeay! it feels sooo good to reach my ideal weight again. the only problem now is maintaining it till my good friend’s wedding in october. my motivation for that is the über sexy bridesmaid dress i’m going to wear. hehehe. thanks to him for the constant motivation & discipline he gives me. love you for that. mwah!

i saw the teen choice 2006 awards at studio 23 last night. nelly furtado has really made a major transformation. whoa! you wouldn’t believe that she is the same gal who sang “i’m like a bird who only flies away…” a few years back. she looks HOT! and I totally dig her new her song “promiscuous.”

and what was all the fuss about kevin federline???!! i mean yeah he could rap but it’s nothing like seeing snoop dogg or even sean paul perform. i kinda expected a lot from his performance considering all the buzz of his debut performance. it wasn’t half bad but his rapping and song lacked the “umpf!” thing. you know what I mean when you like hiphop and r&b music. for me, he will just always be MR. britney spears.

johnny depp is sizzling hot! i could perfectly understand why all those teens kept shrieking and screaming last night that you can’t hear johnny depp’s speech for winning in the best actor category. i would be screaming my lungs out too if i saw him in person looking like that. :D

oh no, not again?!

friend: sabi sayo e. tindig pa lang ni ____ maangas na. ang aga pa lang nilagay niya na sa ulo niya na kaya dalin ang buong team. if he wants to be the go-to guy, he should learn to penetrate inside. hindi siya magaling. marunong lang siya mag-shoot.

me: dapat lang na maangas siya para hindi siya kayan-kayanin sa uaap. and how can you say na mayabang siya e ngayon mo lang siya napanood maglaro. i never said he can carry the team now. in the future pwede. he’s a shooting guard from the juniors division so he still needs to adjust. teams have scouted him na kasi he can shoot the lights out. besides, lipa has his full faith in him so who are we to say na he’s not good. give the guy a break. freshie lang siya. at kung maka-comment ka kala mo kung sino ka ding magaling maglaro. beh!

friend: at hindi siya bj manalo part 2 sa lagay na yan?!

me: hindi nga. kulit mo.

friend: sabi mo e. :p

bitchy post # 004

@#?! for not taking me seriously always! how dare you not take me seriously in MY area of expertise! how dare you not honor MY authority in my area of responsibility! how dare you insinuate that i'm a slow poke when it comes to making reports!

i have TONS of things to do everyday and i finish all of them with flying colors! i think ten steps ahead to anticipate what our bosses need and what clients expect! so do not ever, ever think that you know better than me. coz seriously that report you are worrying about is just a spec of all the things i need to worry about for the clients.

why don't we switch jobs for a week and see how well you do. i'm going to bet my whole 13th month pay and even my bonus that you will not last for two days. or worse, even one day.

i just couldn't wait to get out so all you minions will realize and appreciate my real value around here!

he said, she said decoded

one afternoon in the sms world...

him: tapos na ko dito. uwi na ko or sunduin kita dyan?

me: ok po. ingat. ikaw bahala.

him: papunta na ko dyan. sabi mo kasi ako bahala. that means patay ako pag di kita sinundo. love you.

me: =) hehehe. love u din.

he has perfected the art of "reading between the lines" of a girl talking. it's also one of the million reasons why i love him so much.

dear crush,

i don’t know you personally but i would pretend that i do just this once. don’t be too hard on yourself. you're so transparent that it shows you are frustrated. (but you still look so cute even if frustration is written all over your face. hehehe).

i know for a player who has a shooter mentality like you, it is hard to fathom when you average 17 to 18 pts a game and suddenly drop to 4-6 points in the last two games. that’s really a bummer considering that you want your team to win. and losing a game can be an excruciating experience considering that you were from a championship team in the juniors division.

the last two games have been a learning experience for you. you weren’t able to get good looks at the basket. and the opponents really made sure that you were guarded tightly. i think coach should create plays particularly for you to make those shots. probably more screens and moving more without the ball. it wouldn’t hurt too if you practice more so you can be a better player as time passes by.

again, please don’t be too pressured of shooting that three. the more pressure you give yourself, the more prone you are to committing unnecessary mistakes on the court (just what happened in your game yesterday). just give it your best and the rest will follow, i guess. before you know it you are back in the game.

and look at it this way, these teams have guarded you so tightly because you are one scoring machine from the beyond the arc. they know you can shoot the lights out given the opportunity. you are a threat to them even if you’re the new kid on the block. you are simply the bomb!

what matters is you have been given the license to shoot. coach believes in you so much that the he will continue to let you shoot until you get your rhythm/groove back. and what matters is you still have everyone (especially me) supporting and cheering you on be it a good or bad day.

relax, enjoy and don’t be too hard on yourself. give yourself a break. it’s only your first playing year. and i believe that in a few years time, you and the rest of the new recruits will give the school the most coveted championship. i am so looking forward to that day.

on a side note, in case your career doesn’t really take off, you have a UP diploma to boast of. hahahaha. BUT it is impossible for your basketball career not to take off.

love,
jen

eureka

after some investigating and a sleepless night, i finally got it. i was so stupid not to have realized it soon enough. or i was probably just ignoring it.

i got it. i will always be an outsider who will just be able to see snippets of you. i am even probably the last one in your list of people to talk to. i can see that you can readily tell the whole world about what’s up with you but not to me. i was just probably delusional when i think that i know you and you know me.

i should stop this nonsense NOW. i should stop pretending that we are what we are. i should stop trying to get in your world because seriously i think i’m not needed there. i should stop pushing my luck with you.

i guess i never really fitted in your little perfect world. and this thing which i thought we have is just a hype in my head. i’m not mad nor hurt. i’m just humiliated.

so yeah, i’m stopping right this very instance. coz i know i won’t be missed.

a teeny weeny crush

sigh! i'm crushing on this guy. like the crush you have in high school. giddy and butterflies in the stomach thing. can't wait to get a glimpse of him again. i so heart him. sigh!

light-headed

yup, that's how i am feeling today. i feel perky, giddy, and happy. yeah... happy... :) to complete my being light-headed, here's the song i'm digging these days. hope you enjoy it too.

Can I Walk With You
By: India Arie

I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind
I don't know where it came from all I know is I need you in my life
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

[chorus]
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend till the end
Can I walk with you through your life

You've got me wondering if you know that I am wondering about you
The feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too
You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you
If you wanna be happy then I am the one that you should give your heart to

[chorus]

Now everyday ain't gonna be, like the summer's day
Being in love for real it ain't like a movie screen
But I can tell you all the drama aside you and I can find what the worlds been
looking for forever friendship and love together

[chorus]

Can I walk with you through your life till the day that the world stops turning
Can I walk with you till the day that my heart stops beating
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I walk with you till the day that the birds no longer take flight till the moon is underwater
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

This is the moment I've been waiting for
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

You are everything I've been looking for
Can I walk with you
Creative intellectual
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you as your wife

OMG! moment

while we were strolling in glorietta last night, i blurted out OMG! as i looked at the activity center. i quickened my pace and he (like the loving & dutiful boyfriend that he is) just followed me. he knows that there are only a few things that make me go gaga. and last night was one of those rare moments.

this one is truly a baby! but of course it will be a totally different story if its a F1 BMW Williams car on display. :D
