(no subject)
I love driving along Commonwealth Ave. at 3 in the morning. I could go as fast as 90 kilometers per hour, utterly wasted, and not worry about anything. No, I am not drunk. But on the rare and unfortunate occasion when I do get myself intoxicated, I find driving in the wee hours of early sunrise quite… comforting? For lack of a better-slash-appropriate word.
Anyway, I just got home from Peachy’s house. And YAY, I finally got to watch V for Vendetta. Ah, the sheer majesty of it all brought me this close *holds thumb and index finger millimeters apart* to tears at the very last scene. I am not a very good writer, and I don’t pretend to be good at writing, therefore I will not even attempt to do a review/critique of the movie. Haha.
Ok. Before the movie, I spent an entire afternoon sulking at the Sunken Garden for no perceptible reason other than to get out of the house. And yeah, I wanted to think about stuff. REALLY think about stuff. What could three hours of absolute solitude do to a person? (pictures to follow)
Its been a while since my last visit at Sunken Garden. I used to frequent the place mostly when something’s bothering me, or whenever I just feel like being alone. I love feeling the cool, albeit arid (ironic, right?) air against my face. I love watching kids as they try (and fail) to fly this pitiful piece of paper/plastic in the guise of a kite (but still have fun). What I do hate is the sight of all these lovey-dovey couples surrounding me, acting all lovey-dovey (I know I’m being redundant here), and being all lovey-dovey. Need I say more? Gar.
Given my current dilemma, I was feeling quite emo-ish these past few days. Luckily Peachy called (delivering me from the dead) and asked whether I wanted to watch a movie. How could I decline, I am such a sucker for movies, plus I’ve been yearning to watch V for Vendetta for the longest time now. Only problem is I brought my mum’s car, completely overlooking the fact that it’s a Monday - meaning its banned from every major road in Metro Manila until 7 in the evening (Buti na lang umalis ako ng bahay ng 2:30, hindi ako nahuli. Phew.) So yeah, I pretty much spent an entire afternoon moping around UP. End of pathetic story.
Oooh, I felt like such a grown-up cause I had to fetch Peachy at her place. After much deliberation - considering the fact that I obviously haven't been able to prepare for this spontaneous movie date (was wearing a lousy pair of jeans, pambahay t-shirt, and slippers), and after bullying Peachy into wearing something equally lousy, we decided to go ahead and watch at *drumrolls* SM North Edsa. No offense meant, really, but it’s the only mall within the vicinity which doesn’t oblige us to dress up. So we arrived at the cinemas and, much to our surprise, there’s this 50% discount whenever you treat a friend to the movies. WOW. Watching at SM North Edsa proved to be an excellent choice cause im really running low on cash, and you have to admit that 75 bucks for a movie is not that bad.
Fast forward. We didn’t want to go home right after the movie, so we were planning to go to Eastwood and watch ANOTHER movie. But then again, the last full show for North Country and Nanny McPhee starts at 11:00, and V for Vendetta ended at around 11:20, so we decided to simply stay and hang around for a while at Peachy’s place. I dunno, I always feel better after talking to her. After every thing that we’ve been through I just know that she’d accept me for who I am in spite of the stupid things I’ve done. After three hours of heartfelt talk, I went home to find that GIO STILL HASN’T COME HOME. Sheesh. Sabi niya kanina uuwi na siya ngayon. ANO BAAAAAA. Ayaw ko na mag-isa dito sa bahay, nalulungkot na talaga ako.
