Anesthesia


i have always appreciated when my friends would listen to my incessant chatter and innumerable questions... well I'm taking the time to thank all those people (specially those out of the country)

chuck: dude you rock. ever since we met last year (Gerry's) ive always envied you for taking hold of your dream and taking that leap off the cliff. one of the reasons why i didn't take that scholarship was because I'm a big coward.. i just tell people that I'm burnt out from college/law school to take that scholarship.. truth is.. I'm just scared to leave my comfort zone. call me crazy but i just keep on finding reasons not to go (New Castle scholarship... Lee Kwan Yew Scholarship). you're my vicarious thrill ^_^ hearing you talk about school there... damn.. makes me feel good (hahah pathetic i know) one of these days (but hopefully not too late...) ill take the plunge. thanks for being a constant inspiration.. (oh yeah.. syensya if I'm makulit sa YM)


gerard:
my one true love... too bad we're both gay... :lol: tama na ang pag exile sa sarili mo... hindi masaya ang mag pastol ng kambing.. come back to civilization sweetie.. we miss you here.. i miss you!!! i miss our stupid shenanigans. i miss being drunk with you. i miss us. i miss having you around. basta pag nag offer na ang summit... come back ha?



Cerise: yeah, yeah, yeah.. i know its sad there in Bangkuber.. but don't worry,,, matapos lang yang tour of duty mo with Nana Maggie, you'll be back here in no time. Sascha, Dean, Panlilio and i are planning to go to Singapore on my birthday... if you're back here by that time... join us.. we miss having you around. i miss having you here. wala na akong kasamang inggitera/laitera/damsel in distress. hahaha thanks for reading (and answering) my super long novella emails. and as promised I'm out there trying to catch a man... sadly all i get are those siokoys that we talk about... pero guess what? I'm inspired.. :lol: too happy actually.. i'll post that on my next novella... hahaha i just wanted the world to know how much i appreciate you.

maxie: thanks for making me laugh (a lot) you're one cool dude. i really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me even when you're doing housechores. im also thankful that you dont get mad when i tease you.. ^_^

and to you: you are my anesthesia. you dull the pain that is my life. i know that we're just meant to be friends...but you make going through each day bearable. one day at a time dba? thank you so much.

oOo

just want to bi*tch about this... bakit walang pinto ang banyo ng women's washroom?! i mean ok may doors ang cubicles.. pero entering a washroom without a door is like entering a cubicle without a door either!!! ang haggard ha!

The Buzz

Yesterday, after shift Mickey and I went to Gerardo's to grab a few drinks before we went home. (also we wanted to unwind)

sitting at Gerardo's we ordered two bottle of Red Horse (500ml)... talked our brains and smoked our lungs out.

Im not an alcoholic but I love the feeling that you get after two bottles of beer...

a lovely feeling of lassitude permeates your body... everything seems to be fuzzy around the edges... and you become happy.

ay hindot...

more beer... hahahah

Ab-so-fuc-kin-tas-tic!!!!


All he asked was for them to be remembered.


A story of Honor. Fearlessness. Passion. Blood and Faith... This is what The 300 is about.

The movie is perfect.

300 is a fantasy tale based on the Battle of Thermophylae in which 300 Spartans led by the fierce King Leonidas (uber sexy Gerard Butler) made a heroic stand against the overwhelming Persian army commanded by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro.. who uncannily looked like a bald Ru Paul *snigger*). Leonidas’ refusal to bow down to Xerxes sets the events in motion, with the Spartan 300 ready to willingly giving up their lives in order to keep Sparta free from the clutches of Xerxes and his invading horde.

The film's cinematography made the whole film look like one long dream sequence. The texture in the movie was so rich... so lush. I loved the way Leonidas' cloak flapped in the wind when he was climbing the mountain to visit the Council. I loved the contrast of color of the red Spartan cape on the golden wheatfield. The Oracle's dance. One word.. LUSH.

Another aspect that I absolutely loved about the movie were the lines that the characters delivered. They were witty, the comic timing was just right and inspiring. I really had to laugh at the thought that they were the ones where trash talking started from take for instance:

"Lay down your arms!"
"Come and get them..."

"Our arrows will blot out the sun..."
"Then we will fight in the shade"

oOo

"Spartan women give birth to real men..." (this line just killed me... it just killed me)

" Go and die. I’ll never see you again, but you’ll do this as a free man. Don’t answer this
question as a king or as a Spartan citizen but as a free man."

"This is where we fight... This is where they die..."



This is a film that never, not for one second, considers taking its foot off the accelerator. Once the battle is joined, it pretty much keeps going until the final frame, with only a few dialogue-driven scenes placed here and there to allow you to catch your breath, turn to your buddy and say, "Are you #%!#$!* kidding me!"

(i loved the scene where Leonidas and the Queen were doing it... wow... it was so hot, it almost burnt off my eyebrows...)

But 300's expository scenes are only a small part of the action anyway, a meager price you pay for beautifully choreographed battle scenes. Snyder's fancy camerawork translates 300 from the page so well that it looks more like a comic book than even Sin City. Scenes ebb, flow and freeze in time with the perfectly matched score, and images last just long enough for you to savor them, before being replaced by something equally startling... Seriously... Poetry in motion.

im seriously endorsing this movie because i loved everything about it (even the homosexual undertones... hahaha all that testosterone has to go somewhere...)


The phalanx as it moved as one at The Hot Gate.



Simply put, the movie is like the perfect woman...
Sexy. Gorgeous. Funny. Stunning. Intelligent.

** p.s**
Also, it didnt hurt that there were 300 Gorgeous men in leather (?) underwear, with washboard abs and ripped muscles. hahahaha... Gotta lurve all those lovely golden skin exposed... God love the Spartans.
