Having (belatedly) realized that I really cannot maintain this as a blog of any sort (i.e. one that is regularly updated with meaningful -- hah! -- and interesting -- haha! -- content), I think I will just turn this into a space to store photos and stuff. I'm supposed to upload the Davao pics here soon.
(Honestly this would be more interesting if more of my real-life friends were part of Vox, but come on, the major part of the Filipino web population is only now starting to move to Multiply from Friendster, so it'll take a while. Maybe in a year or so things will be different.)
So, yes, pictures of the beach and what-not to come. I leave the day after tomorrow. Yay.
In the meantime, have a listen to one of the few songs that sounds good even after endlessly looping in your head.
I have been incredibly stressed lately and it hasn't gotten any better, not even after hell week ended last Friday evening. After dealing with academic craziness, I had to cope with real-life trauma and work-related problems that have grown so tangled they resemble Gordian knots. (The drawback to that being that I'm not Alexander and I have no sword.) This afternoon, after receiving a whole slew of angry e-mails at work, I begged the 2 to take me out. "Please please please," I SMSed, "I'm going crazy here."
We ended up heading to Eastwood for food (cheesecake!) and drinks (chai tea latte!) and a movie. We watched The Devil Wears Prada, and below is a three-sentence review.
I liked Miranda Priestley. I enjoyed the movie. Unfortunately, I doubt many people will get the point of the first two sentences.
I could write more -- from impressions on the casting to opinions on the fashion and speculations on the characters' worldviews and histories -- but in essence that sums everything up.
Besides, it's more in keeping with the spirit of the movie -- or at least, that of its title role -- not to explain oneself.
