of music, lyrics, alcohol and white blood cells
'...all I want to do is find a way back into love..'
i went for a movie the other day and i loved it. well, it was a date movie and..er... where's my date?
haha. anyhow, i watched Music&Lyrics starring Huge Grant and Drew Barrymoore. well, to tell you honestly, i didn't really want to watch the film. it just so happens that it was the only film worth watching by the time i arrived in Gateway (which isn't even Gateway anymore- it's Gayway, all the gays and bis munched up the T. haha). i was planning on watching It's a Boy Girl Thing.
so there i was, cold, practically alone. haha. melodrama. grr. so it starts.
the movie is about Alex Fletcher, a member of a once-popular-but-now-a-has-been group in the 80's who's living in his faded glory by going to batch reunions and swinging his hips to their has been hit 'Pop Goes My Heart'. he lands his biggest break since his days of glory when young pop artists Cora Corman (bigger than Britney and Chistina put together!) invites him to write a song and record a duet with her. great news-but there's a big problem. Alex doesn't write lyrics. Enter Sophie Fisher, a substitute to Alex's plant woman. she showcases brilliance everytime she spontaneously utter a rhyme. genius-just what Alex needs. Shopie didn't want to work with Alex at first but when they started to make music together, everything seems to be just right.
i like the song they came up with. i mean, come on! i lurve it with a capital L. the movie is a story of how you should stick up to what you believe in and on what love could do for two broken souls. arg. the movie made me want to grab the guitar and make up a rhyme of my own. pero nakakatamad parin eh, hehe.
anyway, it was great and it is a good movie, especially when you want to feel good.

last wednesday i went to UST to watch plays directed by my friends. they were remakes of musicals, one was for The Phantom of the Opera (i love the girl who played Christine, nice nice voice) and the other was for Grease (Joy Festin always gives acting an umph!). both of the plays were good, given that they were just final exams for one subject and that most of the cast and staff of the two productions weren't really trained to do theater. kudos jmee and mingu!
after the plays, my buddy kuya cyril, gabso and i went to get some booze. the three of us somewhat are in the same situation in love. i won't give details on their stories, but typically you could say were broken. tsk.
coke + grand matador + pulutan + emperador = a great conversation.
in the midst of alcohol and calamares i somewhat blurted out someting about how i am in love now. i have compared my self to a white blood cell. you know how they work? whenver there's something in our body, like when you have a wound or when a bacteria tries to ruin something, the white blood cells always come to the rescue. well, taddah! white blood cell here.
i went home a little boozed and light headed, but i felt great.
anyway, sorry if i couldn't give this post someting deeper. i'm running late for work. maybe by the next post.
toodles.
