seasons of love

"525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you
measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of
love."
Seasons of Love, Rent

another year has passed in my life and whoa, what a ride this has been! in my 20th year in this world, i proved to myself that i can do almost anything, that i don't need to rely on anybody. it was a year of self-discovery. i proved so much to myself and i'm so proud of it. i don't want to go and jot down every single thing i learned the past year, but as a whole, it's been a great ride. my appetite for adventure was fueled more and more, my thirst for travel and discovering new stuff seems unquenchable. i'm looking forward to this year. as i walk around as an ADULT... i'm sure there are tons of adventures waiting for me, new places to be discovered, more twists and turns, more hurt, more pain, more sorrow but i'm sure, more happiness. i've learned to value the happy stuff, yeah, shit can happen but there's always happy stuff to keep me going. :)

and yeah, as the song goes, i'll measure my year in seasons of love. not in sorrow or anything else. :)

rock on! :)

Disclaimer: this entry is just a lot of ranting and ranting...nothing of much sense unless you love LOTR as well..and you also share the disdain for a certain show on Free TV... no offense meant to those who actually enjoy the program, this is a free country anyway. got a problem with me? then you can just get lost.

As an avid Lord of the Rings fan, i am extremely dissed about the obvious RIP- OFF of LOTR by a certain show on Free TV... you all know what that show is. [mega hype and all... with the pathetic actors and actresses...argh!!!!] argh. i know, it has it's own Filipino flavor in it but STILL!!!

The obvious similarities to LOTR is totally screaming at me! i swear, the costumes of those fairies are so familiar with the High Elven Outfits in LOTR. with the breastplates and the headresses and all.. argh! man.. and the parallelisms with the story of Aragorn/Arwen or Beren/Luthien [forest, girl singing....etcetc...] is so freaking similar!!! argh. and the COSTUMES of FARAMIR and that...that guy, dingdong dantes [what a name!] plays are PRACTICALLY THE SAME!!! plus there's this scene that SO reminds me of FRODO waking up in Lothlorien after being stabbed by the Witch King and this high-speed Ringwraiths on horses chasing Arwen sequence...

man, there are a lot of similarities and if i would list all of them? i'd just give everybody a headache and piss myself off. haha!

i wish they'd at least acknowledge the fact that they were inspired by LoTR!!! even the CINEMATOGRAPHY was copied... there was this PATHETIC attempt to imitate the Battle of the Last Alliance at Dagorland [found in the Prologue of LoTR] between the forces of Sauron and the Last Alliance! argh! i am so irritated. argh. and the Language.. wow, how LotR-ish. and the layout of the documentary shown before the premiere of the series SO SCREAMS of the Appendices of the Special Extended DVDs.... gosh, so many Rip-offs! too many to list down here. argh... here i go again.

i better end this, i feel all the blood going to my head and i'm starting to get a really bad migraine attack. haha!

may that show's ratings plumment and never succeed. argh. but then with the gullible and pathetic people in our country who wouldn't know a rip-off from a genuine original work, and just because their favorite love team is playing the lead... they'd still watch it and support it... ARGH! **fuming MAD**

no wonder i don't watch free tv.

no wonder why we're going to the dogs.

man, i better get outta here as fast as the airplanes can take me.

i'm tired. i can't really get enough sleep. i mean i get to sleep but when i wake up, i feel completely exhausted. it's as if my mind never really rested! i wake up with a really bad headache... and i'm sure it's not a hangover! besides i'm not a drinker... i've tried counting sheep and all those meditating stuff to make me fall aslepp and relax but they just won't work. i end up sleeping really late.. and i have to wake up early for work. *sigh* this sucks but i think i'm adjusting... i miss those days when i fall asleep at nine or ten pm and wake up refreshed at 5.30am or 6am the next morning. oh well, you can't have it all. :) haha!

viva las vegas!

haha! yeah, i might be moving to vegas really soon. my dad just got word that his profession is needed in vegas and our exodus [man, how deep a word!] from this warm and beautiful country to the United States will be sooner than we expected. haha! but i'm hyped up! :) it's going to be great. not that i'm living a hellish life or something here.. in fact life is all good... i mean, i'm starting law school in June in one of the best law schools in the country and i have a great high paying, stress-free job... not bad right? but i'm sick of the traffic, the pollution, the anarchy in this country. i'm sick of the stupid jeepneys, of the endless billboards, of the reckless drivers, the dirt in the streets, the trash, the lack of discipline... man, this litany can go on forever! haha!

see? those are a few reasons why i'm excited to go live in the States. :) my trip to the States last year CEMENTED my resolve to get out of this country. haha! and the opportunity is here. i'm so hyped up! :)

i am having a really bad cold right now... and i wonder why... is it because of my undying allergies? the airconditioning in my office and my room? it's been so freaking HOT these past few days... hmmm, maybe it's my melted brain going out of my nose... eeeewwww. disgusting. haha! i apologize for the rather graphic images i just implanted into your heads. haha! in any case, summer makes us suffer like hell.. and still we love it! haha! we bask in the sun's heat. we sunbathe. hahaha! oh god, i'm rambling nonsense again. hahah!

it's one of those days when i feel incredibly ugly and fat. hahah! as much as the people around me tell me that "no, dear you're not fat at all!" which comes in another way by them saying, "you're tall, darling. it doesn't show.." which basically means "yes dear, you're fat. or you've gained a few pounds..."

argh! yes, since i got back from the states i feel as if i gained 5 pounds or something. and it's been a really stubborn 5 pounds... hahah! anyway, as much as they tell me i'm not fat, i feel otherwise. haha! another funny thing is that i've been so incredibly insomniac these days and the only way i get sleep... if i'm lucky to get any at all...is through mini nap things. haha! weird. haha!

i get to catch some form of sleep but then two hours later, i'd wake up and then i can't sleep again. hahaha! anyway, in one of my little mini sleep moments [if you can call them as such], i was even dreaming of exercising! imagine that! haha! this is really weird though. oh well. haha!

btw, just yesterday i told myself that it's been a while since i last got sick. and whenever i tell that to myself, i get sick several days later! weird, huh? sure hope i don't get sick anytime soon. i'm still hitting the beach! :)
