An Update From My Cave and Current Reads

Christmas is over and New Year's coming really soon. Like really soon, 3 days from now to be exact. I just hope 2013 could be as good as 2012. Everything just went smoothly this year, far better than 2011 that's for sure.

Anyway, Christmas was uneventful (as usual) no gifts opened, Noche Buena was okay. The difference this year was that I went over to my friend's house after Noche Buena at home! Yay! We exchanged gifts and all that. I got a bag!!! Yaaay!

Now on to my current reads this term break. I haven't read much, which is disappointing as I wanted to use this free time to read more. Oh well. But at least I have a pile waiting for me whenever...

Movie Marathon but mostly a Michael Fassbender Appreciation Post

Ever since my term break started, I've been watching atleast 1 movie a day. This might be a lengthy post if done in paragraph form so in the usual format of my blog, I'll just make a list of everything! Yay!

So it all started with...

1. Lolita

• I've heard of this novel long ago. I wasn't keen on it at first as I've read from the internet that it was an old dude in love with a young girl, and I was turned off by that idea (read: pedooo) but one day I downloaded an epub of Lolita and I actually kinda liked it, I wasn't able to finish it though. It was this quote that actually got me. It was so heartfelt and beautiful and just exuded pure love. The movie was actually pretty interesting. It wasn't the pedo movie that I expected it to be. You can just see that Humbert was just so in love with Lolita that he was willing to give up everything for her. One of the saddest parts of the movie for me is when he went to visit the very pregnant Lolita and asked her if she would go away with him. If she chose not to, she'd still get the money she asked for. She got the money and refused to go. There was a look in her eyes that just screamed "I don't care about you I just care about the $4k you're about to drop on my lousy ungrateful ass". Ugh. It almost made me cry. I hated Lolita but can I just say how crazy sexy Dominique Swain is and how lovely her clothes were in this movie?! Ugh unbelievable!!! Also, the ending left me satisfied as I found out that Lolita died in childbirth.

2. Hunger

• For some odd reason, Jeremy Irons reminded me of Michael Fassbender who I kinda liked on X-Men: First Class. I found this movie and got interested in it since it's the story of Bobby Sands. (Not gonna lie, didn't know his name til I watched the movie) but I was familiar with his face. (I googled him). I remember him from an episode of a show in TLC. Basically the story is about Bobby Sands who fought for his rights by protesting through a hunger strike. What amazed me more than the story is Michael Fassbender (After watching this I ended up downloading around 5 more movies of him) and his skinny transformation! I loved him because of that. I love actors who are willing to change and drop down to unhealthy weight just for a role. Shows dedication. There was also this long ass dialogue between him and a priest. I mean long as dialogue. Like maybe 20 minutes or so. In a single shot, I believe. WOW. OKAY. WOW. 

 

3. Shame

• Michael Fassbender as a sex addict. Peen shots. Sex scenes. I mean, what more do you need? He was good in this movie, as always. It was also during this movie that I found out his love interest here is his girlfriend in real life. Did a bit of background check, found out that M. Fassbender likes em chocolate skinned. I died.

I mean can we be serious here. If this man stared at me on the subway I'd pretty much get at it right then and there. Lol.
Just kidding (or am I)

4. Inglourious Basterds

• I've wanted to watch this for a while now but I never had the time and it always slipped my mind. Finally, since I was on a Michael Fassbender movie marathon, I downloaded this! It didn't disappoint! There were some gory scenes, but nothing I couldn't handle. Too bad my Fassbender got shot in the balls.. What a way to die. Only because he did the wrong "3" sign.

5. Prometheus

• Another movie I downloaded because of Fassbender. I was a bit obsessed, okay. Anyway I couldn't really stand the whole movie and it was all too weird for me so I ffw'd it so I was done with the whole movie in like 30 minutes or so. I skipped a lot of parts. I really found the weird squidward people engineer aliens very very odd looking and disturbing. There was also this disgusting scene where a squid was extracted from one of the scientists' stomach. It was just straight up disgusting and weird. Poor robotic Fassy wasn't enough for me to watch this whole thing. There was also an actor who looked very much like Tom Hardy but even he couldn't hold my interest. Too bad.

6. Fish Tank

• 1st reason I downloaded this: Michael Fassbender. 2nd reason: Good reviews. 3rd reason: Michael Fassbender. So he played the mum's boyfriend then the daughter kinda fell in love with him, too but eventually it was found out that he was a douchebag because he already has a family but before that he had sex with the daughter and wow ok he's sexy. Am I shallow for thinking this? I liked the movie but whenever Fassy appears on screen I just melt into a glob.

OH DEAR LORD.

7. Don't Trust The Bitch in Apt. 23

• Not a movie but a TV series. It's kinda funny, some cheap laughs and some witty puns. I like the sassy Chloe girl and June's has this bug-cuteness in her. I can't stand James Van der Beek, though.

I still have a long list of movies to watch. Hopefully I could watch them all this Christmas break! And now I leave you with a picture of the very very very sexy (REALLY SEXY) Michael Fassbender!!!!!!

You. Are. Welcome.

Update On My Life + Dinner plans + Nigella's Magical Fingers

Officially on term break!!! ...since last Friday night, which was spent boozing (SUPER COOL KID RIGHT HERE) --NOT REALLY. It was a chill night with geerlfuhrends, I scoffed down a big burger then caught up with what's new in each other's lives over beer, loud 90s music and really hot calamares.  I was a bit buzzed but I wasn't drunk drunk. I drove home a bit late, I didn't kill anyone so thank God for that. Just kidding. I'm an ok driver and I wouldn't drive if I was pissed drunk. I'm a responsible citizen of this nation. So the next day my mom kinda (very mildly, like in a scale of 1 to kicking my ass out of this house.. it was about -1) scolded me since the car smelled like alcohol and whatever. For a split second I kinda felt bad because it wasn't really me who reeked of alcohol, it just so happened that my shirt absorbed all the shit in that chill/bar-whatever-place. I mean, I was (-1 level) scolded for something I didn't do! But of course I defended myself! I told them I wouldn't drive if I was drunk blabla I also had a tone in my voice but it wasn't a big deal. Good. Cos I have like 2 or 3 more christmas parties to attend to and all includes alcohol (COOL GIRL) and hopefully I wouldn't reek this time. :(

ANYWAY BLA BLA BLA WHATEVER

Uhm. So yes. It's almost Christmas!!! 6 days before it, actually. I'm kind of excited! Not that this year would be any different than last year or the year before that. There's nothing to look forward to on Christmas day for me. My family doesn't really give gifts to each other. And I admit, up until Christmas 2010, I still would come down on and check under the tree. That maybe, just maybe, my parents would've left something for us. But there never is anything under the tree. Which is a bit sad, now that I think of it. But whatever. It's been like that for the longest time anyway.

I passed my SALESBA class this term!!!! I'm so happy!! I'm now just waiting for 2 more subjects then I'd be officially done with my last academic term in college. WHAT?! I'M DONE?! WHAT?! Another chapter of my life is slowly coming to an end?! *knocks on wood* Fuck I still have thesis/ojt but still!!! Last academic term!!!! Last. There's something about that word that makes me uneasy. I can't believe 4 years have passed. Where did the time go?! I remember being in such a hurry to graduate and now that I'm almost almost there... I kinda wish I could stay a bit longer. Not to do school work, but you know, just chill. I don't even know.

Anyway! Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves (myself). I'll reminisce more when I am sure that I'm graduating next June! *FINGERS CROSSED*

Let's not focus on the now. A.K.A. CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER!!!!

As usual, I have grand plans on what to have for noche buena. The other day I was planning to make baked cheesecake sometime this week but I never really got to it. I asked my mom if we could do it but with her busy schedule, I doubt we could. And of course, being the lazy (and kitchen incompetent) me, I couldn't do it by myself. It's best for everyone's safety.

AAHHH I TYPE TOO MUCH. ON TO WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY ON THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH.

Here's my list on what to make on Christmas eve to make this the best Christmas eve dinners yet:

1. Pumpkin Soup

• Granted I haven't tried that much pumpkin soup in my life, I'm very much willing to make one. I watched Nigella do it and it looked pretty easy. (BUT JUSTINE! IT'S NIGELLA! HER FINGERS ARE MAGICAL AND YOURS ARE LIKE MEANT TO DESTROY EVERY MEAL YOU TRY TO MAKE) I know, ok. Everything in this list is for approval of my mother, the domestic goddess in this household.

2. Baked Cheesecake

• PLEASE JUST LET ME FULFILL MY DREAM OF BEING ABLE TO CREATE CHEESECAKE. LIKE PLEEEASEEEE. Or buying the Cheesecake factory cheesecake from SNR would do, too. I'm not that picky. Besides, it'd mean less washing up to do (which is always a good thing).

Well so actually there are just 2 things that I wish to make for Christmas eve dinner. What a list. OH AND THIS LIST COULD ALSO APPLY TO NEW YEAR'S EVE DINNER. Just incase I get to lazy or if I burn down the house the first try. Try and try until you succeed, yes?

How University Life Changed Me: Style

With just 3 more final exams left on my last academic term, I can't help but reminisce on how fast my university life flew by. A lot has changed with me, first is the obvious physical transformation. Just recalling my drab outfits which I used to wear back when I was a freshman, still gives me shivers. Ughk.

My freshman regular day outfit consisted of leggings, an oversized shirt and Keds. I only owned around 3 pairs of jeans, none were pretty. I remember one was bell-bottomed, faded a bit, an overall not flattering.

I also committed so many fashion faux pas. I used to (not often, but I did) buy unflattering clothes, smaller than my size because I was very insecure with my body and felt that buying smaller sizes would motivate me to lose the weight. It didn't. And it left me with a bunch of unused S/XS clothes that are now comfortably placed up at our attic. I feel bad that I wasted money, if only I had used it to buy clothes that looked good on me then maybe I could've gotten a college boyfriend.

I couldn't remember what I wore on my second and third year in university. I think I was still into the big shirt thing. But things got better since I lost some weight and my clothes started to fit me well and with so much fashion inspiration around me in school, I was encouraged so dress up more.

It was only during my 4th year that I became much more conscious with how I look. I started buying makeup, went on to buy flattering clothes and such. At one point I was into cutting up my old shirts. It looked cool to me for a while but then I kind of got embarrassed since almost everyday I wore cut up shirts and I felt that maybe people might think I don't own any proper clothes. I stopped doing that.

Now I think I'm much more confident since I wear better clothes. I'm no fashionista, of course. But I look pretty decent already. Too bad I'm in my last academic term. So much for that college boyfriend dream! Lol.

High Noon Melancholia

Been feeling down in the dumps since last night. I'm not sure if it's the mood swings due to PMS, the stress from all the workload, or.. I don't even know anymore.

Since I'm sad I decided to go on to thoughtcatalog since that's what all sad people do, right? Go and read articles about love, life, and relationships that would make them even sadder. It's Friday, high noon, the sun is shining (more like spitting fireballs but whatever) and I'm at home depressing myself more and more.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing. I'm embracing the sadness so the good feelings feel... better. Does that make sense? I do this to make the happy feeling much more enjoyable. Ugh ramblings. Now to the purpose of this post! Here are a few quotes from my thoughtcatalog article adventures. Quotes that I wish to save and post on Twitter but I won't because it'd validate everyone's perception of me being the pathetic lovelorn 20 year-old (that I truly am).


1. When You Are The One Who Loves More

Suddenly, approval and affection from your partner become the only kind of currency that matter to you — the only thing capable of convincing you that you are good and worth loving. Because so much of you has been invested in convincing them that you deserve them, if they don’t recognize it, it can feel that no one ever will.

2. 8 Lies I Told You

I told you near the end that I felt like there was nothing to talk about anymore. In reality, I was afraid I was too invested in you, in us, and I thought I was allowing myself to be tied down too soon. I told you that it just didn’t feel right anymore. Truth is it felt too right, and I pulled away from you because I couldn’t accept you as my this-is-it then.

3. 7 Dating Lessons I'm Still Working On Learning

 It sucks, but it’s also an important part of getting older, realizing that life has the ability to break you. You need to get your heart broken by somebody to realize how important love is and that it shouldn’t be taken for granted, so that when the right person comes along, you’ll be the right person for them. You won’t be that person who doesn’t realize how lucky they are to find the kind of relationship some people wait their whole lives for. You’ll come into the relationship with your heart and eyes open.
