Happy Holidays... as Cloz like to put it.

I woke up at 4:00 AM expecting to eat good food but, alas, all I found was some puto and polvoron. Well, since me and my older brother began earning money for our own, I noticed that things don't go our way. I mean, I expect to get gifts, not give them. Especially from my uncle nextdoor who gives some bucks at this time of the year. I also expect to eat food that's not in the usual menu of our helper... but since we now earn money, I guess we should be the one to provide - to hell with that.

Anyway, what I did was grabbed a few putos and ate it outside. I know it will be impossible to go back to sleep so I just passed the time outside, reading Christmas texts for those persons who forwards them if their unlimited text cover my number. Aside from reading, I happen to notice that our Christmas lights has 3 lighting modes on it: The alternate kutitap mode, the steady light mode and the random blinking light mode. And I successfully managed to count all the carols it makes. Yey, what a way to start this day.

A few moments later, I got back to my room and tried to finish up Matrix Reloaded... and I just realized that it is SO coincedentally like Christianity. I even managed to search it up in the net and found out that there are even cults for Matrix aptly called Matrixism. Just wow. To give a heads up to those who haven't watched the Matrix, the movie is about a hacker Thomas Andersen who was "freed" from the Matrix - a world made by the machine that pacifies all the humans connected to it while the machines harvest them periodically. This happened because the humans bombed the atmosphere because they believed that the machines get their energy from the sun... well, apparently, they can get that on humans as well. 

The guy who freed up Neo (Thomas' hacker name) was Morpheus, the captain of the ship Nebuchadnezzar. The freed guys take up shelter at Zion which is situated in Earth's core where there is heat where humans get energy. Neo is tagged as the One, who is destined to liberate humans from the Machines - now, if it doesn't sound like some guy we know...

Ok, back to my day. After the movie, I went to the gym. After gym, I went home and popped Face/Off starred by Travolta and Cage. That movie never fails to wow me, though I am so sick of John Woo's dove/slow mo effects which was even present in the Woo game, Stranglehold. Well, after watching that I watched Hostel, that Tarantino boring scary movie which turned out not to be scary at all but just disgusting... there was a scene there where this guy cuts off a girl's eye from her burned face... and after cutting yellow ooze flowed out of it.... puta, babuy!

Well, there was an incident moments ago that triggered me to write this post. Apparently, there was a planned family reunion. This was planned weeks ago and it'll be held in Baguio. And since it will be my first time going there, I was pretty eager. Uncle together with his son, my niece and my younger brother went there first to meet up with my other relatives. Lols, tatagalugin ko na lang: SO andun na nga sila, tapos kanina umuwi yung pinsan kong isa, kasi nga daw kukunin yung damit nung kapatid ko kasi nga nagplano pala sila pumunta ng Bolinao. Tapos pinagiimpake na ako. Kaya hinanda ko na gamit ko, fins ko, camera ko... lahat lahat na. Eh eto namang kapatid ko hindi daw makabili kasi sarado mga tindahan ng brip... tas nahihiya yata manghiram ng brip sa iba... lols, kahit ako eh. Ayun nga, pinapapapunta kami dun... taena, di ko na matatapos to... so, long story short, nakakapraning talaga yung pinsan ko para lagariin yung Bulacan - LP para lang sa bag ng utol ko... tapos pabago bago din isip niya kung sasama ba siya o hindi. Eto namang nanay ko ang plano niya lang talaga eh Baguio, pabago bago din ng isip....

In the end, wala pa kaming definite na plano. Nauna na yung pinsan ko para dalahin yung bag ng kapatid ko at exactly this time: 11:12 PM (3 hours biyahe papunta Bulacan). Tapos plano pa nya yata umuwi ulit... wow, iba talaga ang tigas ng ulo ni kuya. Balak pa niya ako papuntahin dun kasi nga daw sasama daw ako Bolinao. Sabi ko, mabubuhay naman yung kapatid ko ng walang brief kaya kahit bukas na siya bumalik ng Bulacan... eh mapilit talaga. Si mama naiirita nanaman hahaha. Napost ko ata dito yung pinagpilitan niya tahiin yung sarili niya nung naaksidente siya? Wow talaga.

Anyway, wala siguro makagets nung last paragraph ko bukod dun sa mga pinagkwentuhan ko niyan... so matutulog na nga ako.

Happy holidays nalang sainyo! Peace on EARTH!

Takipsilim... new development pictures.

Is this cool or what? It's really Philippinized. What an ingenious way of giving it the Pinoy taste. Atis amputa. Ano ba English ng atis? Does it even grow on other parts of the world? Maybe that's why they chose the Atis... Oh well, when I read the book, I thought the apple on the Pale hands signifies that there's some "forbidden" love going on... but atis?

GO PINOY! I really want to see this. :D
