Bundesliga News

The Torfabrik.

Roughly translated means "Goal factory", is the name of the official ball for the Bundesliga. That's right, they are going to be getting their own official ball for all their matches. The Torfabrik will be made by Adidas (Gasp! Jabulani!). I hope this ball is not the same as the much-hated jabulani because, really, who can stand that ball!?

I'm too happy up here to go down there.

Marion Cotillard

As a teenager, I didn’t want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.

—Marion Cotillard

“I’ll tell you a riddle. You’re waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don’t know for sure. And it doesn’t matter. How can it not matter to you where a train will take you?” -As Mal in Inception

I don’t know if we have many lives or if I will be reincarnated into a next life, but I really do think that when you die, it doesn’t stop. -Interview Magazine

In the advent of a new era of my long forsaken heart

I am still in love with you. I had a speech written out for you all this time, yet I don't want to tell you because it doesn't really matter now.
And WTH!
I will not be emo!
NOT!
I love you anyway.
Love you! Love you, love you, love you, love you.
There. I'll say it over and over again because it matters to me.
I love you. *sigh*
I don't mind if you don't love me too...I'm happy anyway.
Remember that song you once sent me,


"I want you to love me, but I don't think you will."
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt.
I'll say "I love you" to the one I love

Do you love me or not?
I don't care what the answer is, I just need to know!
No matter how badly I desire to be with you
There are many unchangeable things in this world
and my love for you
can't be stopped by anyone

As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
"I want you to love me, but I don't think you will."
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt.
I'll say "I love you" to the one I love
Putting these feelings into words is so scary
but I'll say "I love you" to the one I love

The happiness we chance upon in our lives can't be expressed in words
That's why we can only smile
Why we sing "do re mi" among the vivid autumn colors
With winter at our backs, and the spring sunbeams peeking through the leaves
as to protect someone who's just been reborn

As I looked at the road I'd traveled and the path ahead,
my eyes were filled with cowardice
I wanted to look into your eyes, but was afraid I wouldn't be honest
I didn't want to know that you didn't love me
and live the rest of my days alone
That day, I kept on loving you without getting hurt

As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
"I want you to love me, but I don't think you will."
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It's the only answer I have, even if I'm scared of getting hurt.
I'll say "I love you" to the one I love
Even if my feelings aren't returned, I can say "I love you" to the one I love
And that's the most beautiful thing in the world

HELL YEAH! It's MY SONG NOW.
I Love you.

You Need to Dream A Little Bigger: My first IMAX experience

I am psyched that Cebu finally got an IMAX theatre! And Inception is showing! I'm terrible at making movie reviews (I over-analyse, over-criticize, over-worship, I can never be un-biased) so I'll refrain from reviewing this movie and just tell you to WATCH IT to get a dose of "high", only Inception+Imax can offer.

Okay, so that was a review. Darn. I can't resist.

Okay, whatever.

The movie displayed amazing cinematography and Cristopher Nolan has a vision that (hopefully) will change heist movies forever. The movie combines the magic that brought Matrix, Dark Knight and Memento to great heights and delivered it in this movie. Only, sometimes, they did it too well and I feel that they could have further explored the intricacies of the characters' mindsets and psyche. It could have made a better psychology thriller movie than a heist movie, but then, I can't complain since I loved the way Nolan did it anyway. Leonardo DiCaprio is already one of my favorite actors since he has long shed his Titanic(Hollywood cute guy) skin, I think his choice of movies are the best and I can easily compare his tastes to that of Johnny Depp's eccentricities which they both portray so well in each movie they choose. Marion Cotillard, whom I loved as an actress in The Good Year and Nine, was brilliant in her role as the wife. She was downright creepy, I can feel her underlying craziness underneath the facade of outer fragility. She was crazy, yet she made it so that the audience finds it hard to believe she was that, the ultimate pseudo-protagonist-cum-villain. Joseph Gordon-Levitt..well, since when has he ever failed me?! I adore him. This time, he was the hot Point man. Hot. He.Is. He also showed his action skills in the movie via ala-matrix-like elevator scene which was one of the movie's biggest crowd-WoWer! These three made the biggest impact on screen. Ellen Page was negligible, she could have milked her part better, and the others roles were too constricted to really put too much brilliance on screen. Oh, wait, there was that guy who played the target. He did pretty well too!

One bad thing about IMAX, it can get too noisy. LMAO. And the seats were packed too tight in SM, we weren't in the aisle seats so when I had a full bladder, I had to wait for like 30 minutes because I don't want to miss any good parts and I don;t want to embarrass myself by blocking people's views. Darn. New rule: No Iced teas during Movies. haha!

How do I hate thee? Let me count thy ways...

It was shown in 1999 and I've seen it only in 2003 but it immediately became my favorite. The Shakespearean twist gave it a fresh angle and made it memorable. It was also based from one of my favorite Shakespeare comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. It also features 3 of my favorite Hollywood actors; Joseph Gordon Levitt, Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger.
