Oh the simple joys!

I am not rightful to be called cheerful as of now. Strangely, my perky side has wandered off and decided not to come back until after some time. I am no longer miss pocket of sunshine, I am as cranky as a nimbus cloud.

Although, there are what you call life's simple joys. You know what they say, big things come in small packages.

The wish for joyous traditions will very soon be fulfilled. I'm one sticker away from a planner that would manipulate my 2010. I promised myself I'd get one before December starts. Triple hoorahs for me! I'm just weird like that. A planner for me is a necessity. It is where I place my agendas that I wouldn't even forget but still choose to write down. The vibrant colors of my felt tip multi-colored Staedtlers marked so neatly on those pages make me want to do my boring homeworks . I get this feeling that if I couldn't design reality, then here's this planner I could turn into a scrapbook and look at on a daily basis. My professor saw my 2009 planner and said with a straight face and solid sarcasm, 'Ano bang ginagawa mo sa buhay mo iha?'
Of course you know this place. The Ayala Museum is where my classmates and I attended a lecture about Chastity Covers, Phallic Implements, and The Boxer Codex. I know it sounds drop dead boring but we only had to spend an hour listening. It was actually funny. Ambeth Ocampo the speaker slash writer showed us drawings of his students from Ateneo when he asked them to draw the infamous 'penis'. If you're wondering, the girls drew too and theirs were even more detailed. It was a good talk, and I actually got lucky and was one (literally one as in the first) to be called as one of the nine lucky winners out of the many hundreds of Superman Rizal shirts (that when worn makes me look like a sack of rice). I also got the free book recently launched by Ambeth Ocampo autographed. Tell me who the geek is.


Horror movies for a double date? Quite thrilling but not considerably joyous. This is just too realistic for a movie I would appreciate. It scared me to death that I don't know how to put myself to sleep tonight. They made the whole movie appear to be caught on amateur video purposely that it made me so dizzy to watch some parts. But the movie still didn't fail to make our hearts drop. Do you know how heartbreaking it is to have nearby audiences so scared to death, literally? When the movie ended, a grandma was crying out of fright and a girl on the side was so shocked by the ending that she was staring into thin air not standing up while everybody else was going out of the cinema. The impact is just weird, so if you haven't watched it yet, it's time to snag a seat inside the movie house.
