hi. i am writing here in some country club and i have no social networking website to go to because of the filter here or something. quite inconvenient but it made me blog so i guess that's alright. anyway i've been busy for the past few days.
dec 23 - i dont remember what i did earlier this day but i do remember my stepsisters coming over with 6 big bottles of red horse and a magic sing set. holy shit, if you want to share the mic with me, do not let me drink. i repeat, DO NOT let me drink. i can tolerate a large intake of alcohol, i think i even drank beer like water that night while watching some korean drama. then i went out of my room to join my sisters who were singing karaoke. i have no idea how i managed to do it, but i was able to sing Alone by Hearts with ease, seriodefiniteusly. it's not even a song i would pick for myself when i'm sober. it's too high. i always say that on youtube. it's too high! but i didn't even complain when i sang that song and i hit the high notes pretty well. i dont want it to sound like im bragging or anything, but i did, and i remember everything, which is odd because im drunk. i was too hyper though. i couldnt stand straight. i had to stomp while i sang and i looked like a dork. i just couldnt stand still. there was too much energy in my legs. lol. anyway, i gave up singing and took a shower, then i came back and drank some more. wow. i also realized that i even wrote a drunk tweet. stupid arrogant bitch.
dec 24 - been to a family reunion thing that is always held annually. im on the other side of the extremes this time. i was shy. i always am during gatherings like this. i mean, there's no reason to be all loud and get all the attention, right? i just kept to myself most of time... until there was booze. dammit. there was tequila and nachos served and i couldnt resist my cousins from drinking even though i still feel awful from last night's drinking session. it's odd actually. i just see my half-brother (we have the same mother) only this time of the year and we're not that close. instead we have become drinking buddies since he found out that i drink. he was surprised when he knew that i drink because he probably thought i was never the type since im shy towards family relatives. i just find it really odd. i used to hang out with my younger cousins when i was little, but now, i hang out with my half-brother (who's freakin 36 now) and my other cousins who are around that age. why do i hang out with these old boring people now??? (lolrude) i guess im old and boring now too.
dec 25 - went to the mall with my family because we wanted to watch an entry from the annual metro manila film festival. we saw shake rattle and roll x which was a huge disappointment. i grew up watching the shake rattle and roll horror movie series and the more you get old, the more you realize how much of a suckfest this series is, OR filmmakers are just lazy to be creative this time. if you have not seen a shake rattle and roll movie at all, it's basically a three-part horror movie which is usually about ghosts, monsters, fugly creatures and other supernatural elements. the 10th installment though, "x", was just AWFUL, i tells ya. first story was about aswangs and the setting is a hospital and of course, it's kinda predictable that there will be chaos and flesh-eating and all. they even tried to include a romance angle in the story which failed miserably. i mean, seriously, roxanne guinoo and jc de vera?! i was actually expecting a demon spawn from roxanne though when she said (i cant be bothered to refer to their characters anymore) she was pregnant because earlier, she got wounded by an aswang or if that was wrong, it was actually a human who was attacked by an aswang, so i thought there was a contamination of some sort. but it didn't happen. oh well. mylene dizon is good as usual, but we all know she's a good actress and she can scare our socks off so it's like her character didnt let her step out of the box at all. so basically her acting got old because we know she's gonna be a scary beast and stuff. ugh. the second story is about a group of students who stayed overnight in their school because they had to finish a photo exhibit. anyway their school has a historical background which was unfolded by a series of killings and old photos. this has a better film editing than the first story but this still fails miserably like a solar-operated flashlight. exposition was badly done and the characters have no depth. and the spanish phrases do not even make this film inteligente in any way. que horror! the third part was a breath of fresh air since the camera shots and special effects were different and entertaining but the whole story is pretty out of place for the shake rattle and roll franchise. it was about a girl who got married to a guy who is actually attractive to enchanted beings in the forests. the girl equipped herself with knowledge and skill to fight off these beings to protect her husband, and even her town. the conflict here is that her husband and other townsfolk became missing, and of course the girl got heartbroken and promised not to help anyone anymore, but she decided to come back after seeing hope in a young boy who was new in town. anyway, i thought this could have been a separate film and they could have expanded the story to make it well-developed, plus they could have used more people in costumes and prosthetics, because seriously, if they were aiming for a fantasy story, then they shouldnt limit themselves at all. go wild, run free! take us and distort reality before our eyes but bring us back after the movie. why have our storytelling skills faltered? our ancestors used to be good at these, and they even used visuals like their body or things they can find in nature. why have we gotten so boring? it's just sad!
