Love in the movies

Within the past few months, I was able to watch two “love” movies: The Ugly Truth and 500 Days of Summer.

The first, I wanted to watch because a bunch of friends said that Gerard Butler’s character reminded them of me. 1 Too bad it wasn’t because of his dashingly rugged good looks and ripped abs. The second was Cris’ request because she has a she-crush on Zooey Deschanel 2 And I have to admit, the trailers were pretty interesting as well.

I thought I’d just want to mention some of my thoughts on the movies. So the disclaimer is, if you’re not in the mood for some discussions on life and love, I guess you could just ignore this post. Otherwise, read on.

Oh and btw, SPOILER ALERT! You have been warned. Read More

Thoughts on American Idol

I don’t watch TV, I don’t tune in to AI, but I am aware of the players – and my sister clued me in eariler in the season for the people to “watch out” for.

Sufficed to say, with my sister as my witness (and some other friends who I discussed it with) – I kinda felt Kris was going to win it… in spite of the fact that Allan had “superior” vocals and showmanship.

And the reason I state is the same reason I stated during that same IM conversation with my sister months back. It’s an “uncomfortable truth” as it were, and can be quite controversial… but I really think it was the case. Read More

If…

… your own Mom talks to you about some love/life stuff, then asks for your opinion/advice (which you give your 2 cents), then considers following it (your advice, that is)… should one be worried?

I mean I’m pretty sure I gave a really straightforward opinion based on my views (i.e. brutally honest and unnerving to otherwise “innocent” individuals) – it just feels really weird how the tables have turned as far as “seeking wisdom” goes; lalo na when the main difference between us had always been our views on life.

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing; if I’ve “grown up” enough to actually “put some sense” in a person who I would normally seek advice from for most of my formative years – or if the world has become that messed up that it takes someone like me to make sense of it. 1 Because, while traditional views may be considered naive this day and age, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with them; they just don’t apply [that well] anymore, that’s all

Perhaps it’s the latter, who knows. I guess if anything, it just proves that the one certain thing you can count on is change.

Hope it turns out ok for her; at her age, that “aspect” of life shouldn’t even be an issue anymore. I guess that’s what happens when traditional values are met head on with the actual reality of life.

Perez Hilton

I don’t know exactly what people’s opinions are on the recent kerfuffle regaring Perez Hilton’s reaction to that beauty pageant contestant’s stance about gay marriage. But I’m irked enough to make this totally politically incorrect post all because of him – and not regret doing it at all.

Flame all you want, this is what I truly believe so fuck anyone who gets bent out of shape because of it. And yes, fuck me too; because I seem to be getting bent out of shape myself as well hahaha – so we’re even.

While it’s not even close to being a long shot, but I hope that bastard still can get “offended” because I really would like to hope against hope that what I’m about to say here could still hit him where it hurts [even more]. Read More
