room makeover

- had a nice family lunch to celebrate dad's birthday yesterday. dad cooked for us. he was very proud of the rib-eye and the lamb. for once, i actually ate the salad. the dressing was too good to resist. there was tons of dessert. ice cream, cake, brownies, chocolate, etc. remember, my dad's diabetic.
- saw max payne after lunch. we watched it because there was no other choice. it wasn't so bad. my dad slept through half of it. i had to keep looking over at him to see if he was still awake. according to the movie reviews i read in today's paper, max payne is from a video game. the plot wasn't anything to rave about. the effects were awesome though. i liked the slow-mo scenes. you really saw how the gun works. the killing of lupino, the supposed "devil" was a bit anti-climactic. poor guy didn't even have any lines. in the end, it was the guy max payne trusted that ended up being his wife's killer. BB (?), the "suit". natasha's sister, i forgot her name, looked so familiar (edit: Mona Sax!). i kept thinking all throughout the movie where i saw her first. it was mila kunis, from "that 70's show". that's good to know. the movie even teaches the viewers about Norse mythology. the ending smelled like it can have a sequel if the movie does well. :) omg. i was searching wikipedia for a movie poster and i found out that nelly furtado was in the movie, playing alex's wife. that is so crazy! she looked like she gained weight (sorry, that sounds mean). i didn't recognize her even though her face was focused the whole time she was talking. ooh, weird. :)
- in the previous post, i was telling you about how i borrowed "The Catcher in the Rye" from the mini-library. i finally finished it. i got some good lines out of it too. it was a really interesting read. the book is fairly long for something that happens in two to three days. Holden Caulfield is really cool. :) i would love to see it made into a movie but according to Wikipedia, J.D. Salinger won't authorize it.
- my room is currently undergoing major renovation which started this morning. it sucks cause i just changed my bed sheets yesterday morning. what a waste.

i finally got off my ass long enough to tidy my room. i just finished unpacking my bags from the palawan trip. gawd, i'm so lazy. i unearthed various possessions of my mother. she bought so many souvenirs and she smuggled it in my bag. my dad doesn't even know! no wonder it was so heavy when i got it off the conveyor belt. in all fairness, i did let her pack my things for me. gawd...another manifestation of my laziness. but i was genuinely surprised when she agreed. turns out she has a hidden agenda other than helping her daughter. while i was cleaning up, i found the dvd of the family day festivities. i got my ass back on the computer to watch it (momentarily distracting me from my cleaning). our performance was embarrassing. but that's just how i normally feel whenever i watch a video wherein i'm included (i was dancing no less). but i'm proud of me and my classmates for churning out something so great. i was caught by the camera a few times. but nikola seemed to get most of the face time (feet time!).
so, back to cleaning. i didn't have to fix my closet anymore because cel already fixed it for me. goog gawd. the things people do for me. no wonder i'm getting fat. k, that's all for now. bye. :D
*this is my third post for the day. i am such a loser.
*it is also my 150th post. hooray!

i'm locked out
Wednesday, August 8, 2007 8:40 AM
i was lounging around the house. shuffling from my room to the computer. i had half a mind to get changed into my house clothes. the wind blew and i was locked out of my room. the funny thing here is, i don't have the key to the door knob in my room. ha-ha. my mom was all angry finding a key that could open it. when she couldn't find it, i resorted to the worst but only way to my room. through kuya jay's room. you see, there's a window there that connects the two rooms. we've done it before when he was locked out of his room. but then, i was smaller, lighter, and definitely more flexible. now, i'm almost as tall as him, heavier and definitely stiffer. after many failed attempts to swing my feet to the haven that is my room, he finally told me to just step on his back and climb to the window. good idea, i guess, because i managed to land on the safety of my beloved bed. i also managed to get the door open. i guess it wasn't damaged by the lock-picking i tried to do a`la fred and george. my mom is now looking for the key to my room. before, i told her that it was inside. but the thing is, its not inside. i totally lost it! i made up some cock-and-bull story about how i already placed it outside and stuff. damn. i can never lock my room when i'm away ever again. and the really sad part is, i left my slippers in my brother's room. damn.
