I am nowhere

I have been busy for last century. I know. Even my officemate tells me that it was hard to get my attention and she was just a block away from my cubicle. She told that she will find it understandable if our office was as large as that of the mall of asia.

You see. My office outlook is always open, I never really check new email except in the morning and relies on bubbles appearing on the lower right of the screen to browse new messages. But if my officemates are chatting beyond their wits using reply to all and didn’t bother to remove my name from the recipient eventhough I could not care less about what they are talking about, chances are I’m missing most of my mail. If I missed emails that are a day old, I really don’t bother to reply especially if its not work related. Why?

1. I’m a bitch when it comes to communication.
2. My reply would only eat my time and besides, you probably would need it anyway for it was delayed.

When it comes to cellphone, I suddenly find it inconvenient nowadays:

1. Text messages are usually just quotes that I don’t bother to read unless of course I feel extremely Emo which I don’t feel nowadays. Thank God.
2. I’ve been doing a lot of errands from text messages:
friend: “NSN KA”
me: “PAUWI NA”
friend: “NSN K NGA”
me: “SA MEGAMALL PAUWI NA”
friend: “PABILI NAMAN AKO NG…… PLEASE “

and my conscience never fails to oblige those favors especially if they’re from my friends.
3. I hate texting. I hate composing text messages that consumes twice as much than when I just call them up and usually I am considered to be rude because I failed to reply to a question that is followed by TXTBK ASAP.

To avoid such things from happening, whenever my phone runs out of battery, I don’t recharge it unless I am expecting an important call from someone.

And if I happen to receive your message the day after. Please see number 2 of previous topic.

So I am nowhere to be found for the next two months. I am busy.

Sound of Silence… the Holy Grail

Comments:

1. I think Tom Hanks was bored in filming this movie. His dramatic prowess was not used…
2. Ian McKellen’s acting was superb… he really looks like an insane individual. Although you can already see the devil inside of him when he is supposed to be a harmless old man as per description in the book.

3. I think I will fall in love with Paul Bettany when he becomes an albino
4. Ron Howard failed to make the movie as exciting as the book.
5. Bishop Aringarosa should have been older.
6. Sophie: Aiko look-alike

==================
On the lighter side of the story
==================

We were watching the movie and dubbing it at the same time. I can’t really explain how it’s done but if you’re with your insane barkada anything will become possible. We were bored for the movie was concentrated on dialogues and basically we have read it all. Just when they were about to open the cryptext, we decided to get serious in watching not to mention the fact that someone behind me pulled out a gun and will shoot if he hears another noise… when in the middle of silence…. The crytext falling……

 

***** prrrroooooooooootttttttt *****

 

Yes, good sirs and madams, someone farted inside the movie house. We were watching at G4 mind you. So farting is utterly unforgivable for we are all educated individuals watching. Everyone laugh… for even the man on the first row heard the bomb that suddenly exploded out of the crytext… I can’t help laughing as you can hear everyone commenting about the incident through the rest of the movie…

 

“Holy crap…..”

“Part ba yan ng dolby digital”

 

You can almost hear Mike Enriquez saying “Hindi man lang nahiya sa pambababoy!”

 

I still enjoyed watching it and comparing my mental picture of the book to the movie. Although, it’s one of those books-turned-into-movies crap since the film concentrated on the facts rather than the adrenaline rush action… it’s not appealing to moviegoers who have read the book and known the facts…
