I am special
Today was “talk-down-to-us” day, from our statistics lesson in commed to the formation activity we had this afternoon. That’s a total of 6 hours of being presented basic statistics and basic Catholic/Christian/Lasallian concepts as if we were encountering them for the first time. We we’re actually asked to collectively read a piece called “You’re Special” (…you’re special..you’re rare… and like anything rare you have value…). And while I actually agree with the sentiment, the way it was presented to us was downright insulting (condescending! condescending! condescending!). Anyway, I’ll cut this rant here. I don’t want to have the headache I slept off to recur.
Just for Tonight
I’ve been busy this past week with our exams (as usual) and with the production and solidarity committees for the college’s yearly interbatch talent competition (JFT). Aika’s and my ideas were hits that night. A lot of people loved the batch shirt we designed. Even the other batches and doctors wanted to know how they could get one. Our other idea was to incorporate several live action Super Mario scenes (inspired by this) and to incorporate Kasou Taisho, the show behind this and this and this, on our play/production. My classmates choreographed several fight scenes using the fake special effects concept. We had tons of technical difficulties but we were the only batch who got the whole room laughing.
The first years’ play run very smoothly. And I loved the third years’ production. It was smart, well-written, well-acted and funny. We knew we’d most probably get last place as most batches do on their second year (due to time constraints). We were prepared to lose the production and the chorale but we expected to win the solidarity (which we did win) and band awards. So when it was announced that our band “lost” by 0.5, a lot of us were disappointed and pissed. Even I was teary-eyed with rage. Nawalan kami ng gana. I personally felt it was disrespectful. Sobrang ibang level ang performance ng band compared sa other batches. The other bands were good but they weren’t good enough to beat our band. My batch had the better singers and the better musicians. They were the best band of the night. Period.
After the results were announced, there was a bit of a lag before the “winners” celebrated. I think everyone knew who deserved to win. This is something I’m not taking back should anyone from the winning batch/band come across this entry. /rant
After that, inuman hanggang umaga.
“The Golden Compass”
Yesterday, I went out to dinner with several of my friends and classmates, most of us not having had a decent meal for the last two days because of JFT. After dinner, 4 of us decided to watch The Golden Compass.
I loved the movie. While I don’t discount the existence of God, I am currently having issues with organized religions and so I agree with some of the movie’s sentiments. By now it’s obvious that I’m not in the mood to elaborate on anything so I’ll just share what my friend told me after the movie: the guy an empty seat away from her was masturbating the entire time. Yuck!! I told her he probably got off of the bears. Yep, it was definitely the bears.
the guy an empty seat away from her was masturbating the entire time.
Hahahahahaha! A friend of mine encountered a similar guy as well. He prolly gets his kicks from wanking off in public.
FYI, from Wikipedia: “The Bear community is a subculture in the gay community. “Bears” are gay or bisexual men. They usually have hairy bodies and facial hair; some are heavy-set, but that is not a requirement.”
Dunno, but maybe the wanker is turned on by gay bears.
I knew one day, my extensive knowledge of gay slang would come in handy. :p
Sorry to hear about your band losing, I hate those kinds of verdicts.
Ugh! That’s really sick … and it’s not even an erotic movie. I bet your friend never fully enjoyed the movie, with the distraction of the sex fiend doing his deed beside her.
I would have been tempted to fake a recording just to get him to stop, or point at him using a flash light shouting “Wanker!” at the top of my lungs ;P I wish I really had the guts to do that :P
LOL@Fruity…
this means i will have to shave from now on…
Either the judges have bad taste for music or they were paid prior to the event. Err. Sorry to hear about your band losing, Ann. How cruel. Oh wait… What’s your band’s genre?
Masturbating while watching “The Golden Compass”? What made him do that? Does he like Nicole Kidman? Or Ian McKellen? What?!
My classmate before had a creepy experience with a public wanker. It was during the intrams and while she was writing down some notes in the classroom she didnt realised there was a guy sitting at the back wanking until she felt the cum or semen landed at her back wetting her shirt in the process.
Oooh I also love Golden Compass since the girl there is a feisty not the usual reluctant and whiny ones in some adventure movie
i get passionate with class/group/batch work as well, one of the things that kept me busy these past weeks actually. ang sakit pag pinaghirapan at alam mong maganda tapos di maappreciate. :(
those Japanese stints are a riot. first time i saw them i just thought “crazy”. may nakita din ako compilation ng family computer games music sa youtube but lost the link. if you played them you’ll find it crazy as well. :D
eeew. and to think i watched a movie alone once.
saang sinehan ‘yan? noeeeeees.
Anyway, I love Golden Compass. I was bitin though. :p
And yes, you are special.
Huwat? That guy is really weird! Baka zoosexual siya?! Haha.
Ewww! —> “the guy an empty seat away from her was masturbating the entire time.”
Wow I’ve seen those videos before. It didn’t seem that it went so well for you guys but you had a lot of fun.
I haven’t seen the golden compass but I bet it’s a long movie and if some guy was pleasuring himself the whole time I would probably leave and watch it illegally online.
I actually had a hard time looking for the anti-religion sentiments in the movie because what they say against the “authorities” (metaphor for the Church) could also be said against the dogmatic materialists.
I also noticed that some movie-goers don’t know that it is a trilogy. Had they used
“His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass” as a title, it would have given people a clue that it has a sequel (like what they did to the movie title of LOTR and Star Wars).
ew at the guy who was jacking off! what the! if i caught a couple getting it on, then i’d be delighted to watch but THAT! ew! hahahaha.
glad you did awesome on your play. which reminds me of um, my group’s “MTV” presentation. hope it goes well.
merry christmas
He wants to see a monkey in the movie so he he just spanked his monkey instead. Hahaha!
Happy Holidays Ann!
yay! that guy is gross!
i haven’t seen golden compass yet, but my friend told me that he didn’t liked it. he was so eager to see it and then now he’s disappointed. i dunno why. maybe it was from his “creative” point of view haha. i dunno.
anyways, happy holidays! here’s a little something. haha http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/1534/xmaszx0.jpg
Masmasakit talaga yung maliit yung lamang kesa sa malaki.
Bakit may nagmamasturbate? May bed scene ba sa Golden Compass?
I’ve always had a problem with organized religion…that’s why I choose not to be a part of one. Though I am a believer of God, I just stay away from the whole religion thing.
Eeew, that’s gross! Probably because of the bears being so big, manly and hairy. Yup, you’re right. Definitely the bears.
Merry Christmas btw! :)
