miss pettigrew lives for a day

I can't seem to find a decent clip from the movie when Amy Adams sings. The embed links of the better ones are unavailable.

Check out this link. It is well worth a watch.

I'm posting an audio clip too.

I also recommend catching the movie. I have grown very fond of Amy Adams, it was also a bonus that the pie maker from Pushing Daisies plays leading man.

If I didn't care....

(true)blood test

I went to the clinic today as I just won't get back to 100%.

I went home with a few pills and two band aids--one on each arm. The doctor wanted to do some blood work.

We are still waiting for the results. I hope this isn't dengue. I feel reassured though because an enlightened one told me that people with dengue have rashes and are unable to appreciate online shopping. I'm safe :)

how do you miss?

How do you miss? Vague. What do I mean?

I miss....

How am I?

Exuberant. Nope. Not me. It would feel so fake, and I'd hate myself because it is just like lying.

Gone. No. I like to be wherever I am.

Quiet. Maybe. While I could be quite the conversationalist, I enjoy silence. Useless chatter aside, there would be very few people that I could truly talk to. Miss. In silence.

Thoughtful. Yes. Think mayo. Adam. After Jacks. Dancing. Shirt. Off.

inspiration vs infatuation

The race reminds me of an Alonso ING ad a from last year.
I don't know about you, but I think the director of the clip failed to brief the kid who got an autograph as to what his reaction should be.

can't hate, can't sleep

I want to nap. I can't. I had been tossing and turning the last half hour. Nothing. And it isn't like I am wide awake. My eyes are heavy, but it just won't go to the next level. Limbo.

I had been looking into the mess that typhoon Undoy had left in the Philippines. There was one particular photo that is stuck in my head. The one from a place where something unpleasant has happened to me. I felt terrible.

As I was staring into the image, I was reminded of the happy times that I had spent there. There was none of the slightest anger or resentment. Beyond the real issues that are the lives, safety and future of the people affected lies very personally to me, letting go of a past life with remembrance of the goodness of that chapter.

mister(s) right now

I know I should have stayed home and rested, but I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing two good friends from high school. (We also carpooled in college and continued to spend time together well after that.) I could honestly say that we have come a long way. I admit that I don't get to spend time with them whenever I go back to Manila--which is also not very often to begin with.
They flew in for the night race and since I am not fit to join them for that, I decided to spend the afternoon with them instead.
Lunch was at my favorite chicken rice (and ribs!) place. I over ordered--which (almost) never happens! Apparently their appetites are no longer as I remembered. My bad.

After lunch, we managed to do a little shopping. Okay, not really a little, it was more like...A LOT.

We had dinner at a dingy bar I frequent for the chicken wings. It was a fun day. With my condition, I had to pop antibiotics a couple of times in between of everything that was happening. Oh well.

There is awe in once again confirming that you never really lose your place in someone's life. Sometimes it is as if from a different angle, or point of view, but that space is meant only for you.

Today, I had a blast with Mister(s) Right Now.

knowing

While watching I love you, man, I thought that the person playing Robbie was familiar. My friend insisted that it was only because he looked like Ryan Agoncillo (why do they say everyone looks like Ryan Agoncillo?). Personally, he reminds me of Jason Biggs, but that is beside the point. I knew for a fact then that I had seen him somewhere before.

Today I was re-acquanted with SNL's, D*ck in a box. And then I knew. It was him! Robbie! Well, Adam Samberg actually. Mystery solved.

He was also in the SNL Single Ladies stint :)
