There's a big tree blocking the way in front of Palma Hall. Apparently, it fell quite unexpectedly, injuring two people. Manong from the pancit stall near the Main Lib told me it happened a little after 11 am, just ten minutes before I got there.
For some reason, I look at the tree and feel sad. Maybe it's just depression settling in after a damned psych exam, or exhaustion from having just two hours of sleep, I neither know nor care. That tree was alive, now it's dead, dead.
WTH am I being senti about?

QUESTION! It's been bugging me for some reason: BMW cars hail from Germany, right? So... shouldn't it be pronounced BM...V? I'm serious, man!

Watched the Russian filmfest last Tuesday, before the blasted brownout. Ward No. 6 was weird, based off Anton Chekhov's short story. All I really got was that we have a very vague concept of sanity, which usually depends on the majority. I think. Anyway, the next film was The Star, a WW2 film about a group of doomed Russian scouts. This I seriously liked. I've been a fan of war films since my Pop took me to watch a Robin Padilla movie when I was a youngling. Something about the serious emotions and faggotry really pull at my id. UNF. I won't spoil it, as it's damn good, but let me say that Lt. Travkin was a hot mess, and Private Vorobei activated my maternal instincts.
The Russian Film Festival runs until Friday, guys! Two showings, 5 pm and 7pm at the UP Film Institute, all FREE ADMISSION! GO, NOW! Soak up culture and be one with Mother Russia!
I've been crazy about these free films since the French Fest last month. EIGA SAI is on August, but it's not free, and I want to watch a lot. I think there's an Italian or Spanish fest on December(?) but I'm not sure. Check it, guys! I mean, most of the films have weird endings, but they're FREE! And yess, I'm a free-whore.
