I know I haven't been blogging here. Haha. I guess it was just too personal to be put here. I will be changing my layout to this though:

Happy Feet

Yey! I saw Happy Feet! It’s such a cute movie. I especially like the baby penguins (is there a name for them?). Spoilers! Mumbo(?) (the protagonist) looked a bit odd though. A bit different from the rest, but I guess it just shows how different he really was and needed to look the part. The animation surprisingly shows more than penguins singing and dancing. There is discrimination and marginalization which I find timely with our philosophy class, but it was very evident in the movie. Love, as usual is also touched. I then remember the hero in our reading the romance class where the pattern of a hero was discussed. He came from a normal/average family, grew up simply, accompanied by “strong” companions who would help him along the way when he becomes weak, faced a battle/struggle/conflict and saves the day/return from the “dead.” It is true that no matter how many times you try to tweak the hero stories, they would bare down to their very simple structure. There was also the issue of environmentalism. Save the penguin! No fishing. It also shows how humanity (which if this is the word rightly used) really destroys the environment and it takes a while or something spectacular for people to realize this. Just like the issue with water shortage. Now, all the tips for saving water are once again springing back. Off and on. We (Marco and I) were arguing about it, about how I thought I might be an environmentalist and he, the opposite and we’d be fighting because I’d be three to save the environment and he’s destroying it. Haha! It also shows self-determination, courage, pride, indecision and pain. Wala lang. Marami lang talagang pumasok sa isip ko habang pinapanood ko yung pelikula na nakatutuwang isipin dahil naaalala ko at may natututunan na ako ngayon sa aking mga klase.

The econometrics quiz wasn’t that bad. I got the assumptions correct although the explanations were a bit off. We had fun watching Excalibur!!! Haha! It’s not as magical, ‘white’ and blindingly astonishing as some of the versions were. It showed the bare side of knighthood. It’s dark, bloody, dull and not exactly a happy life. What was funny with the movie was the actors themselves. Ang pangit mag-act! Or maybe this bias comes from watching the newer versions of it. Not to mention the actors were not as handsome as we imagined them to be. King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin...strong, tall, strong handsome features, garbed in nice clothes. None of those. Next were the lines and antics of Merlin. Seryoso! Nakakatawa sobra.

Love is deaf as well as blind.
How would you know when you haven’t even tasted it? (kadiri si Merlin dito.)
...For it is the doom of man that they forget.

Oh yeah, then the time when one knight kissed Excalibur. May naisip lang akong line. Pero it’s kadiri haha! “I shall kiss your sword and you shall kiss mine.” Haha! Phallic symbols. Blame it all on literature. I know, yes, malapit na ako! Hahaha!

Then we had dev eco. Shit! Wah. I’m so gonna cut that class often...Grabe. For 1 and a half hour, we only got the definitions of economics and development economics, aside from Archimedes’ Principle and simple sentences, amongst others. Nakakabaliw yung klase niya!!!

Then I met up with Marco to watch Happy Feet. Hehe I had fun. Not a dull moment. Kwentuhan. Which is good! Then we went to the tiangge. Before I had to drag him, literally to stores but he himself volunteered to go there. Hihi. We ate at Heaven...’n Eggs (pronounced Mars’s style :p). Ang takaw. Before the movie, we ate fries (the one with cheese, garlic mayo and something else); one order each. After, we ate chicken, 2 servings of eggs (mine was scrambled), mashed potato and rice. Busog after. I couldn’t imagine a happier ending to my day. I love you Tubby!

Oh...nasira yung white sandals that I was wearing haha! Buti nasira after class. Pero hindi bumigay kaya I didn’t buy new slippers anymore. :D
