Books, movies and music

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Sale sa powerbooks kahapon. At medyo malaki yung natipid ko dahil 20% off sa maraming libro, binili ko yung isa pang volume ng The Sandman, that’s 4 down, 11 more to go. Also bought Murakami’s The Elephant Vanishes. Medyo malaki yung gastos ko pero malaki pa rin yung natipid. Baka next month na ulit. Hinanap ko yung Bridge to Terabithia kasi nagandahan ako sa movie (I hate the misleading promotion, it is really good despite the stupid marketing that made it look like a fantasy movie) pero di available.

I don’t read books as much as I used to. And I don’t read much anymore. Sometimes I think my brain is degenerating. Sometimes I am struggling whether or not this is what I really want.

I was finally able to finish Pratchett and Gaiman’s Good Omens (after so long). I noticed that it takes me much longer to finish light books than reading the more serious ones. Anyways, Good Omens was a good one… it was funny. The end of the world but Crowley (he’s the serpent) and Aziraphale (an angel) got too attached to the world and wants to stop the end from coming and the Antichrist was misplaced. Pinalitan pala yung isa sa horsemen ng Apocalypse… Pestilance was changed to Pollution. Wala lang, naaliw lang ako.

I have been watching a lot of DVDs. Kasi pinaputol ng aking ina yung cable sa bahay. Basta, sabi niya mag-contribute kami, ako naman minsan na lang ako manood at bakit ako ang magbabayad, let me wrestling-addicted brother pay for it. Hahaha! Na-mi-miss ko na tuloy yung mga hayop na naglalapaan.

Dumami yung collection ko ng anime. Minsan na-gi-guilty ako na illegal ang mga binili ko, then I try to get over it. I like Japanese anime, lalo na yung my mature themes. Kanina dapat kunting episodes lang ng Death Note ang panonoorin ko pero nakakaadik. And Tenjo Tenge! Grabe, medyo twisted nga yung medyo incestual relationsship ni Maya at Shin but it is touching.

Pag may nanghihiram ng iPod ko, nahihiya ako ipahiram. dahil unlike ibang players sa iPod shuffle, random ang pag-play ng music, medyo nahihiya ako sa mga tao (na normal or malayo ang taste sa music) kesa sa akin.

I’d like to think na may taste ako pero di lahat na-a-appreciate yung mga gusto ko. Tulad ng kanta ni Enya at ni Annie Lennox. Meron nga akong mg Nirvana, Aerosmith at kung anu-ano pang mga popular na kanta doon pero minsan magugulat na lang sila pagpumapasok yung mga tugtog ni Bach after ng Digital Love (I really love the music from Discovery and the videos are also great).

Pero bakit nga ba ako nahihiya?! Eh yun naman talaga yung trip ko! Kasi… ewan ko nahihiya lang talaga ako. So what do I say when people borrow it? NO.
Pahiram naman niyan?
“Ayoko nga!”

Last Unicorn Video

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

I made a post before.

Pinanood ko ito ulit kagabi for the nth time. Buti na lang nakabili ako ng VCD. Di talaga ako sinasawaan dito kahit yung animation di katulad ng sa ngayon. Nahanap ko to sa youtube, yung original trailer (doesn’t give away much of the movie).

My brother says that this scene is cheezy. Perhaps pero talagang medyo baduy ako pag fantasy films ang pinag-uusapan. Biruin nyo si Jeff Bridges ang nag-voice kay Prince Lir, kumakanta pala… This scene after the Unicorn was turned into a mortal woman, tapos naguguluhan na siya kasi nagkagusto na sya dun sa prinsipe.

One thing though, Prince Lir kissed a horse but not just any other ordinary horse. Hehehe.

Hirap talaga ng walang ibang outlet. Balak ko pala bumili ng libro pero tila sa internet lang ako makakabili. Siguro dapat na ako kumuha ng credit card.

Excited over Stardust

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

I am really looking forward to the Stardust movie, I was practically raving about the book on a post I made after reading the book (nawala na yung comments dahil naka-HaloScan ako nun). God, I am so excited! I was never this excited since they decided to make Narnia a movie. And I am happy that they’re already on post-production, I still can’t get over that the plans for the Last Unicorn was not able to pull through. Reminds me, if anyone here know where to get the book, please contact me, I am dying to get my hands on them.

Binasa ko yung cast, and it turns out that Claire Danes’ll be playing Yvaine, di ko alam kung babagay sa kanya, but I like her even if she said those nasty (but true) things about the Philippines and don’t they dare banning the movie, I swear, I am gonna kill people if they do… nah! I’ll just be very, very angry.

Scenes and characters I am excited about (hope they don’t edit it out):
- Tristran’s parents having sex.
- How they’ll make Claire Danes look like how she is described in the book.
- The lion and unicorn fighting.
- The ending. Has to be one of the most romantic ever. Medyo mababaw siguro sa inyo pero jologs pa rin ako. Hehehe.

I love fairy tales. I’ll probably be re-reading the book again.
