I just reluctantly graduated from De La Salle University, which makes me a degree holder in International Studies and a confused slacker as of the moment. But that's not exactly the point.

Hindi ko na alam kung anong nararamdaman ko dahil sa mga balita at pahayag na naririnig o nababasa ko tungkol sa Maguindanao, sa pulitika, sa kahirapan, sa Pilipinas kong mahal. Galit? Lungkot? Awa? Pagkalito? Sinubukan ko nang hindi makialam, pero hindi kaya ng konsiyensya ko. Wala lang. May masabi lang.
Yahoo Messenger Star Wars Edition. So cute and geeky, I love it!
I did something __________ today.
Job Hunting, Day 1: Ortigas
Very exhausting. Very spontaneous. Very, very magastos.
A couple of memorable lines after the said hunt:
At the elevator…
Kai: Ano ba makakainan sa McDo?
What she meant: Ano ba makakainan sa Megamall?
And then
While walking along the sidewalk, towards Megamall…
Ana: Ayun, I can see Jollibee na, finally.
What she meant: Ayun, I can see Megamall na, finally.
So now we have proven that hunger could make you mistake a huge mall for a fast food chain.
Oh, lookie! Webb is finally here! :) Hope I wouldn’t develop a habit of collecting jerseys, though. /broke
Thank you, Jersey Haven!
I’m on a Star Wars marathon tonight and I’ve just finished Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I know a lot of diehard supporters hate the first three episodes but hey, I’m not one of the older generation of fans, so allow me to appreciate Revenge, ok? There’s so much emotion and lightsaber action in the movie that I can’t completely abhor it like others do. And the theme I like best? Corruption. Oh, yes. That little creepy voice that entices human into devolution. But let’s not go further into that. The purpose of this post, actually, is to just show you my favorite scenes from the film. (Yes, the screen caps are mine. /not lazy)
1. George Lucas isn’t exactly the right guy to turn to when you need a convincing one-on-one interaction verbally expressing love and romance. Remember Attack of the Clones (“From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you.”)? Lame dialogue at their maximum level. It’s a good thing this part of the movie happens. No mushy words, just a strong, almost tangible connection between Anakin and Padme over a great distance.
2. Lights and shadows have always been a significant tool to convey messages to the viewers. Here is the scene when Anakin finally vows his allegiance to the Sith. Look at his face: the Dark Side, literally.
3. Heart-wrenching. Anakin kills the younglings at the Jedi Temple. How could you, Annie? Especially that cute face? D:
4. At the volcanic planet, Mustafar. See his eyes. They speak of pure evil. And when we think that all hope it lost, we see Anakin’s tear-stricken face after committing a lot of murders. (But that hope has yet to wait until Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.)
5. Anakin: I hate you! Obi-wan: I loved you! Gay. Ok, just kidding. This is when they end fighting. Obi-wan had the high ground, Anakin was too confident. Result: Anakin looses his left arm and two legs (he had lost his right arm in Episode II, let’s not forget). *Yoda voice* Ahh, so much pain, so much suffering. This time, it’s physical.
6. Symmetry. I looove this part of the movie. Here we see Padme and Anakin both undergoing critical operations. Padme looses the will to live and dies after delivering her twins. On the other side, death manifests itself too, although what dies is Anakin’s good persona, as he succumbs to the Dark Side. The concept of birth on both sides is also crucial, as it shows the physical birth of Luke and Leia, and the emergence of Darth Vader. (Episodes IV to VI, here we come.)
7. Finally, goosebumps. Need I say more?
