Saturday Boredom
It was freakin’ boring!
I watched The Da Vinci Code movie in the hopes of seeing the Louvre and the other artwork described in the book; but all I saw were fleeting glimpses.
The only moment that I actually felt anything was the scene were the misled albino monk Silas tightened his celise belt around his thigh — eeeeeweee.
Oh, okay, I’ll admit that I felt a little tingle in my tummy when Robert Langdon knelt down on top of the floor space above the inverted pyramid. Mary Magdalene is an actual, historical figure, and if the theories about her, her nobility, and what has been done to her name and role in the life of Christ were true, then jeez….
On the whole, though, I was bored. Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou also looked bored.
I love Sir Ian McKellen, though. ‘Can’t wait to see him again as Magneto in the third X-Men installment.

New US-RP military agreement.
Naknamputsa.
Eksakto naman at malapit na ang June 12- supposedly the Philippines’ Independence Day. So much for that.
GMA never ceases to disgust me. Now she’s proclaiming herself a proud saleswoman.
Is that anything to be proud of? Selling off your countries resources, industries and manpower to the highest bidders?!
As I was walking from the IFC towards Shun Tak (where Hong Hong News holds office on the 17th floor), I was wondering how come it is virtually impossible for me to just simply let go and relax.
I think it comes from reading the Philippine newspapers (kahit web editions) everyday. I’m so lucky that I don’t have ulcers. Magkaka-ulcer ka talaga sa mga balita, sa mga nangyayari sa Pilipinas.
There is no escaping reality.
Even when I’m with my husband, and even during my phone conversations, it’s inevitable that we talk politics, that we talk about issues; and inevitably, both us get all het up and frustrated. Change topic, please.
It’s a Saturday and it’s gloomy outside. The sky is ashen gray, and the air is moist and muggy. Hong Kong when it rains is a horrible place. Somehow it’s so unbearable the way the rain here falls — miserable showers that send people scurrying for cover, or hastening to open their umbrellas, and they all look so…harassed and inconvenienced. Unlike at home in the Philippines where people only look mildly annoyed when it rains.
Because rain is expected.
Because rain means colder weather.
Because rain means staying indoors to sleep.
Here in Hong Kong, it’s like people don’t sleep, and spend as much time as possible outside. Because their homes, their dwellings are such small, cramped spaces and staying inside soon causes claustrophobia, an increasingly worrying feeling of being throttled.
