thoughts on a busy week

I MISS PLAYING FUTBOL. Futsal (my current pe) is not the same. Futbol is also not the same when there’s no grass. Playing at the Sunken Garden is something else. It has something to do with my futbol experience. It’s been at least two months… Darn, injured foot. *feeling nostalgic after passing thru Sunken on the way home and it’s a nice weather for playing and ther’re kids taking advantage of the field*

I am like super busy, and I have like two mega exams next week, and a mega paper, and I have to be present at the Sikad AVP shoot tomorrow. Something’s gotta suffer. I got a feeling it’s the first long exam for Physics and the Spanish paper. Aarrgghh…

I should have started on my acad work last night, but yesterday being a Friday, it seemed such a shame to just head on home without getting a bit of fun with friends (of course, this afer holing up in the CHE lab for one five straight days (from 8 to 6 or 7 pm and returning home only to sleep). I was only thinking of eating out with friends (which I got to do for free with LIRA peeps), but then circumstances arose that led me to watching The Jerks (my first time to do so) at 70’s Bistro (my first time to be there), with beer, pizza, fries and cheese sticks, and for free to boot! My thanks to Macel for being the orchestrator last night. ‘Twas a great night. Great performers they are. And there were not very many smokers, so for the most part, we were breathing smoke-free air, or at least, only very little smoke. Alcohol does contribute to a fun experience. :D

Cinemalaya goes to UP

Cinemalaya is once again coming to UP! One of the finalist is Ranchero by Maikel Christian Cardoz (UP Film Institute Graduate 05-06, UP Cinema President, 05-06)

Ranchero is the story of convicts who serve a special role inside the
jail: they prepare the meals everyday. but in a jail where some
inmates see no reason to continue living, what is the role of food? Is
the food's role to extend life or to prolong the pain of those who
don't want to to live?

Screening is on August 4, 2008, Monday at the Cine Adarna (formerly UP
Film Institute). tickets are available from UP Cinema @ 70php.

See you there!:)
