I GOT HOSTED!!!

I GOT HOSTED!!!!!!!!
This wonderful lady named Lisa agreed to host me at her domain.
If you only knew the hell I went through trying to get hosted for the past three years, you would understand me.
Anyway, I am currently conceptualizing the layout of the site and all that. I really am excited you know!
This would mean that I'll be bidding Tabulas farewell (as if people will miss me, oh c'mon!) but you can always visit my new site if you want to.
Thanks a bunch, Lisa!


Today, Mom and I went tenpin bowling. It was fun, honestly, I enjoyed it because I got a freaking 112 as a score! I mean, man, during my suckpin...er... duckpin bowling, the highest I got was 69! Proud of myself but won't let it go to my head coz things might not always be good and shiny.


that's all, matees! til next time, tata!

going 'gof'-fy

hmmm... didn't update again for like forever.
well, the main reason i didn't is because i have gone through a very tough internal battle these weeks and as such, things went out of focus.
anyway, i'm sorta back and to kick it off, i would like to scream.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you. we now resume regular programming.
i have watched hp 4 two and a half times now. the first one and a half was last wednesday at ever commonwealth with my tru prend arao. the other one was this sunday at ever caloocan with myself. the quality of the screens at both cinemas were horrendous. maiiyak ka ng dugo sa sobrang panget. one moment you hear the audio loud and clear, the other you feel as though fog has blurred your vision. that's why me and my sister have planned to watch it at sm north on monday. harhar... can't stop drooling over daniel's half-nekkid bodah!
i mean, man, where have you seen such porcelain skin in your whole life? he's the hottest, sexiest 16-year old alive! damn, damn, damn. tom felton would have made me drool more but alas! his ferret scene, which was supposed to have him ending up nekkid, is a fully-clothed phenomenon.
katie leung reminds me of jasmine trias. robbert pattinson suited cedric diggory well although i wished the casting people should have chosen another much more handsome, potentially-threatening-to-dan's-and-tom's-hotness actor. viktor krum is as stoic as described in the book, although, again, i know there are better-looking krums out there. clemence poesy reminds me of claire danes. she fits her role well enough. in truth, i couldn't care less about these actors anyway, sorry.
the plot of gof is something i have known since i was a high school student so incoherent lines weren't my problem. thank god i knew because a) i have poor hearing, probably due to smoking (that's why i've quit for the meantime); and b) british actors seem to have a thing for delivering their lines as rapidly as possible. bless alan rickman for delivering snape's lines as slowly as possible. the pace of the story was, as one review describes it, "breakneck" and that's good because at least the movie won't bore you. however, having a breakneck pace has its disadvantages. some people who are not book readers found it too fast and furious; thus, if they weren't listening carefully, they couldn't put the plot together. in fairness to gof, it was much easier to understand than poa. my sis didn't even get poa if i didn't explain the whole time turner thing to her!
i liked gof. of all the films, this has to be my most fave. dan plays harry better now, i think the character's rubbed off on him already. emma has some really overreacting lines and scenes but i guess hermione's supposed to be overreacting so that's tolerable enough. rupert is hilarious. he may play ron timidly and a little scrunching of the face is all he does basically but he's a very funny actor. tom felton should have had more air time. or at least slicked back his hair just like he used to. i think we'll never see him that way anymore because tom doesn't like having his hair slicked back. he says it takes too much time to prim him up and all.
verdict: worth the wait, at least for this time being that i am completely enamored with the movie, and four thumbs up!
that's all, til next time, tata!

oh great despair!

I have discovered that Lingg 1, Lingguwistiks 1, is not an AH course.
WTF?!!! IKAW AT ANG WIKA MO? I mean, duh? It's all about linguistics and yet, and yet, IT'S NOT AN ARTS AND HUMANITIES subject?!
Maybe I had a wrong impression about linguistics. Maybe it's not about the semantics and content of language. Maybe it's a social science course.
And unfortunately, it is.
Damn...
I guess I just have to bring with me a list of all AH courses next time so that I won't be deceived by AH-looking SSP courses.
I wore a headband today. As in whole day.
I still feel the plastic on my head.
Is this a headband lag? Whatever.
That's all, til next time, tata!
