The Purple Haze

My movie pass got turned down. MY ALL POWERFUL MOVIE PASS GOT TURNED DOWN! This sentence had more implications than a pseudo-bank account in Switzerland under the name of M.A. How can my own employers turn down a movie pass that THEY themselves issued? If it weren’t for J-fel, who was with me the whole day for a pre-birthday celebration, I could have murdered the person responsible for this shinnanigan. But being the peace-loving person that I am (beware you group of b*tches who called my car “kalampagin”, I am never going to be at peace with any one of you – that includes you man-whore) I decided to just cool it all off with the A.G. of Co. and pay for 2 tickets to see Casino Royale.

Before the actual show, J-fel gave me a really nice present: Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea from Powerbooks. Aside from that and a heavy Classic Chicken Caesar Sandwich we shared for lunch at Big Chill, he gave me fantastic bronze and beige wedges I can wear with anything! Sigh…

Going back to Casino Royale, I say it wasn’t at all bad that Daniel Craig was chosen to play the part of the Brit double-O. He even added a lot of “oomph” to the usual James Bond persona we have in mind. For the first time (not really for the older generation, since this 007 is a remake), James Bond is as vulnerable and human as any hunk could get. How he becomes a permanent 007 agent gets unfolded in this awesome movie. You have got to see it for yourself!

In other news: Here are a few words of gratitude in line with Thanksgiving (kahit wala namang thanksgiving dito sa Pinas, mabuti na rin yung marunong magpasalamat, di ba):

To J-Fel, for the book, sandwich, shoes and the great company yesterday (like always); to my loving family for all the, errr, love; to my awesome friends for sticking up for me despite my inadequacies; to my officemates who remind me that I am not alone in this sucky corporate world of doom; to random Filipinos I see whenever I take public transport, even if a few annoy me sometimes, you are all still my source of inspiration; to my law professors, demi-gods in classrooms, without your strict policies and fierce tongues my heart shall continue to be a soft, lump of muscle that beats for no reason; to my real God, I love you always, and I am nothing without you. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

That felt really good
