lundi, mai 31, 2004 To answer the question 'What have you been doing?' 'Nothing,' to borrow from Jerry Seinfeld's answer when asked the same question after he stopped doing his show about doing nothing. 'but doing nothing is not as easy as it looks. You have to be careful, because the idea of doing anything can easily lead to something that would stop me from doing nothing, and that would force me to drop everything." but what i've really been doing is watching a montaged collection of Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, Seinfeld and funny commercials. i particularly love the Mcdonald's commercial with the fishes in an underground aquarium. it will make vegetarians and fish-lovers laugh. but the greatest discovery of these past two weeks is BMW films' The Hire starring Clive Owen, perfectly written, shot by great and weird directors (Innaritu, Lee, Frankenheimer, Ritchie, Woo, Scott, Carnahan), and with high-caliber supporting actors (Gary Oldman est tres, tres magnifique!) these films and comedies have started a welcome change from the past two friday's unwinding and viewing time at the office spent watching Nick Berg get beheaded and the aerial night shots and shooting of the Iraq war where one body gets air-rifled (or whatever the chopper's gun is called) with 10-15 bullets. (sorta relaxing through anger and stress management.) so i am now a Clive Owen fan. he can be my driver anytime. download na at ulit-ulitin! (The Hire was created with online-viewing in mind and is probably the most expensive advertisement i know.) # gtz | 10:02 PM | jeudi, mai 13, 2004 "Kunin ang pera, sundin ang konsensya" - PRC Konsyensya streamer in San Fernando Woah, just a round-up of sorts before my deadlines catch up with me and i forget the things i want to write about. anyhow, last week, i went to Godofredo at 1am, sunday, only to be told that the alcohol ban was in effect because of the elections, and they'll be serving it again tuesday. i dont think id be coming back there soon because my sister, believing in being spontaneous and having fun, gave the waiter, who mistook her for an actress, an autographed table napkin signed Kaye Abad. i dont think the waiter got the joke; even as we were leaving, he still looked at my sister funny, starstruck i should say. i voted. guilt won out, you know, 'what if there were 1M voters like me who would rather sleep than go out and vote. the commute to angeles was amazingly fast, but the ride back was torture. it took us an hour to get on a decent bus because, unfortunately, GMA and her PSG arrived in san fernando the same time we did. and i had to be at work by 1pm. while chatting with my sister and her friends the other night, the topic moved on from LB to serial killers to movies, then to rumors, rather, urbans legends that are hard to verify. they mentioned about the serial mangpupugot in LB, rumored to be a student project (well, both are rumors then). i mentioned the rumored death of Moira Kelly while supposedly filming Cutting Edge 2 ("What, she's still alive?!" they exclaimed.) and i mention Phoebe Cates and her rumored death years and years ago. all i got were blank stares, being too polite to ask "who's phoebe cates?" i didn't explain you she was, just that most of the men i knew then were depressed because of that. took the required french exam yesterday. i could pass the written part, but the oral exam was...ahahahaha. but as one of my classmates said, "i'll take classes until they (AFM) reject me." kaya fight! my favorite sentence for the past week, heard from cool artist-officemate,is "i'm conveniently numb," pare. # gtz | 9:36 PM | mercredi, mai 12, 2004 Handsome men evolved thanks to picky females # gtz | 8:20 PM | vendredi, mai 07, 2004 "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain # gtz | 3:59 AM | |
