6:59am.
Now before anyone says that turning my laptop on is the first thing I do in the morning...
you just said one more wrong thing in your lifetime. I feel sorry for you. :P
I haven't had any sleep yet,
this needs to stop...
the days are melding together,
and i see the sun rise and fall almost daily.
Gone are the weeks called February and March....
Christmas was only yesterday, and Easter just a few hours ago...
Things are moving so fast, I am trying my hardest just to keep up
and still try to maintain what I do in my life...
Maybe I need to learn to sleep with my eyes open.

RRR: "Jumper"
Jumper- Another great idea ruined
I just came from watching "Jumper" starring Hayden Christensen the other day and aside from the compliments I can give the film regarding its special effects and locations, everything else was simply painful to watch...
Basically it's about a guy who learns how to teleport and eventually there is a secret society called the Paladins who are out there to eradicate him and others like him (Jumpers).
Now that would make a great story if only they explained all of those things much more than simply showing them on screen trying to beat the heck out of each other. As a human being I think I would like to know WHY things happen.
Jumper continues the trend with a great idea
badly executed. :(
Dear filmmaker, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY these things are happening??
Explaining, or at least rationalizing these things help add to a suspension of disbelief that entertaining films are supposed to give, showing really good compositing and special effects does not make it real anymore.
Add that to a pretty messy storyline and editing, it does seem like the film was also jumping all over the place.
PS: I really like the idea of teleporting to wherever you want to though. ;)

Dear filmmaker, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY these things are happening??
- Why can he teleport?
- Why do these guys want to kill the teleporters?
- Why is it taking such a freaking long time for Hayden Christensen's character to explain what a jumper can do?
- Why does Samuel L Jackson look like Sisqo?

vicious 5 year olds!
when push comes to shove and when 5 year old kids turn vile, nasty and cannibalistic,
morals just simply go out the window. :)
bring em on!

it must be the food
Alright, given my current hectic schedule just to fulfill all my weekly requirements, I sleep at dawn and wake up at noon almost already on a daily basis. It's tough. And because of this i have actually gotten used to eating two meals a day: brunchienda (breakfast and lunch, taken on merienda time, aka 3-4pm) and middinner (late dinner taken close to but not yet, midnight!)
Despite this, I am now the heaviest I have ever been in my life! hahaha... I gained around 12 pounds already since I arrived in the US, even if I am not sticking to the 3 meals a day minimum!
I usually averaged at 150lbs, the heaviest I got was 155 when I went all gym crazy and got some protein shakes and did the 5 meals thing back home complete with a Rocky inspired milkshake (with raw egg!). But i peaked at 155. Peaked. That was the limit then!
but this is crazy:
two meals a day only and I have gained even more than when i was gym crazy.
Which leads me to think....
The food here must be very nutritious. Whatever is in it, more vitamins, minerals, nutrients, etc... organic or non organic. (Which i think is close to BS, because the only non organic food would be fast food, but let's leave that to another post...)
anyway, back to food nutrition and health... would this be the reason why we lag behind during the olympics? I can't help but remember what my swim coach told us when he blew his top one morning coz we couldn't finish a lap within a certain time... he said that if we were in the US, things would probably be different, we would be stronger and faster...
is it the food? coz training wise, I know our athletes train just as hard as their counterparts, if not even more so (heck, I know I did) for these things...
and our top athletes go to the US before a big game too...
we lack the equipment and the facilities to even come close to being compared to an olympian team training (unless youre talking about Philippine basketball, which again, is another post altogether)
I am speaking of this if there had to be a percentage of whether its training, equipment, mindset, and nutrition, I think I can now see why our athletes are being beat... it must be the food.
Im not putting down our own food (i am actually craving for all of them now, and what I wouldn't do to just have some adobo, pansit, kaldereta or bistek right now....), we have GREAT tasting food and the most amazing cooks in the world, but in terms of nutrition content... I dont think it's equal...
