yesterday... i realized that i haven't been me.

one, i haven't been reading books like i used to. what was the last book i even read anyways??? i haven't been to any powerbooks outlet since march. that's one whole month of no powerbooks visit! so last week, despite the fact that I am really really busy at work, i thought of reviving my old reading habits by placing Milan Kundera's Identity in my bag. only problem is, i have yet to open its pages.

two, i haven't been to glorietta or greenbelt for this whole month of April as well. again, that's not me. even my dad was surprised, telling me nights back, "himala't parang d ka naglalakwatsa ngayon?". (but that doesn't mean i haven't been shopping like crazy, after all, there's still saturdays and sundays and it's not like these are the only malls around).

and three, i've been watching tv incessantly. from variety shows to talk shows to movies i've already seen not only once.

one thing i learned? patience is a virtue. it pays to be glued on tv when there's really nothing worth watching anymore. cause when i was just about to give up, Waterboys came into view.


it's a movie about young men wanting to be synchronized swimmers and succeeding in the end. it's one heck of a funny movie, i tell you. nevermind if they're speaking japanese, and the subtitles are in chinese. nevermind if i can't say i was able to get all they were saying. but i did enjoy the movie. really entertaining (said to be one of the best japanese movies of 2001).

also saw, The Legend of Speed yesterday. Not really a good one, more of a The Fast and the Furious inspired movie.
