sweeney’s waiting…

There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it’s filled with people who are filled with shit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it.

Oh yes there is. Anyway…. 

Me and Mau saw Sweeney Todd several nights ago, and I think it’s safe to say that Mau won’t be eating much meat and red pasta for a while after that. ^_^ Mahina talaga sikmura niya. IMHO, it isn’t gory or disgusting at all… just the thought that the people were made into meat pies. Hehe.

The movie was great. Of course, I hyped it up sooooo much in my head already, which is why I ended up not so WOW-ed; but taken as it, it’s a great film. Typical Tim Burton dark visuals and gloomy atmosphere and great performances all around. Johnny Depp was predictably great in the title role; Helena Bonham Carter was amazing as Mrs Lovett (one of my officemates even said that Helena stole the show); Alan Rickman - solid as always - in the role of the heartless Judge Turpin; and, the young Ed Sanders was a revelation as Tobias Ragg (galing kumanta!). The only performance I didn’t like was the girl in the role of Johanna… "bopek" ba… ^_^

Now this is just me… but I loved the accents. I <3 english accents, and Helena’s was so cute in this film! It’s weird because the accents are primarily the reason why I couldn’t understand some of the lyrics and dialogue in the film, but whattheheck, I still love the accents.

The music is a grower. Each time I listen to the soundtrack, I end up loving the songs more and more. The favorites right now are "The Worst Pies In London", "Not While I’m Around", "Pretty Women", "By The Sea", "Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir" and "A Little Priest" ^_^ Haha andami.

poof

wala talaga akong follow-through kahit kelan.

na-blog ko na ba to dati? if yes, well then i’m blogging it again for emphasis.

wala talaga akong follow-through kahit kelan.

i know it’s been said that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry, but i am just ridiculous when it comes my plans. the result of this are a lot of half-baked stuff along the way.

i plan on posting a picture a day… poof.
i plan on moving out to try and wing it on my own… poof.
i plan on… *secret* …poof.

that’s just taking things from the top of my head without even trying. if i really though about it, this would be a really really long blog entry.

well right now… there are several things that are going on… plan A, plan B and plan C… syempre ang ganda kong kausap diba kasi di ko sasabihin? hahaha! there have been some setbacks, but it ain’t over till it’s over.

haay. oh well.

poof.

I just came across this cool site:

http://www.himig.net/

Yeah, it looks just like your typical lyrics site at first, but I was surprised when after I cliked on one of the songs, the song started playing in the background. ^_^ I mean, sure, it’s not the greatest discovery of the 21st century;but for an OPM site, it has a relatively good and sizable selection of songs. Hindi maganda yung quality ng songs, and I don’t think they’re downloadable, but that would be pushing it.

I’ve been tripping on this classic OPM hit for the past few minutes now. Mukhang uulit-ulitin ko to ng madaming beses before the night is over. Hahaha! 

Sa wari ko’y
Lumipas na ang kadiliman ng araw
Dahan-dahan pang gumigising
At ngayo’y babawi na

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa ‘king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan ang
Bakas ng kahapon ko

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Kung minsan ay hinahanap
Pang alaala ng iyong halik (alaala ng ‘yong halik)
Inaamin ko na kay tagal pa
Bago malilimutan ito

Kay hirap nang maulit muli
Ang naiwan nating pag-ibig (alam ko na ‘yan)
Tanggap na at natututo pang
Harapin ang katotohanang ito

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa ‘king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan
Ang bakas ng kahapon ko

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko (tuloy pa rin)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo (hugis ng mundo mo)
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo (hamunin)
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin (tuloy pa rin)
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko (tuloy pa rin)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo (oh..hoh..)
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo (handang harapin ang mundo)
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin

gym

After several months of inactivity, I hit the gym again today. Yes, para lang akong nagsunog ng pera sa hindi ko pagpunta ng gym for several months. Ouch. But to my consolation, over the past several months, there was the company basketball tournament… I has a fainting spell and was hospitalized… and the holiday season came along before we had that Bangkok trip a couple of weeks ago.

To be honest, hindi pa nga ako cleared mag-gym eh. Pasaway lang talaga ako. I’m working on my clearance though - among other things (more on these "other things" in future entries). Pero parang tanga diba? Nag-gym na ako habang nilalakad ko yung clearance ko sa doctor… Parang nagpaalam ako for something na ginawa ko na. Hehehe.

Anyway, I tried going to the gym during lunch for the first time. I usually go after work, but I changed it up now. Going to the gym during lunch offers one big advantage: Less people. This means that the machines are readily available and more importantly: Walang agawan sa locker! (woohoo!) On the other hand, the downside is that I’m really pressed for time since I have to be back in the office.

It worked out quite well. I was able to get 30 minutes out of the treadmill, cool down while eating lunch, and then take a bath before dressing up and heading back to work. That took me around 80 minutes. Not bad, imho. Kung hindi na ako maligo, baka kaya ng isang oras yun. Hahaha. YAK. =p
