Hay! Would you agree if i tell you that life is a cross between being sweet and bitter? i don't know, it just popped into my somewhat tired brain. So that you may know, i didn't get any sleep because i rather chose to watch this film entitled Grind. It was one of those films where this young, ambitious, wanna-be-pro skater does everything he can so he could get this Super-popular Pro skater to get to watch one of his tapes where of course, shows his great talent. Of course obstacles come their way, and predictably, you would know that he would be popular in the end. It wasn't new actually but i really love the part where the same scene happened to him in the first part of the movie also happened in the end. Basta! it was really great... then i wasn't contented and i was really in the mood to wash my brain off so i watch another movie. Trainspotting. ive been dying to watch this movie and hell yeah! di nga ako nagkamali! As in! if you watch this by yourself and you really put yourself to the character of Ewan McGregor, shite! [as they would often say in the movie] as in literally, "ma-aaning" ka talaga! The story is all about drugs. not just cannabis but injectable drugs, and you know that scene where they were all "high" [4 of them] and the baby was just crawling and everything tapos one day, the mother woke the other four with her loud screaming dahil you know why? she found the baby all bloated up, dark face, and dead in her crib. They were all high they never get to notice the baby! they all forgot about her...[by the way the baby's name is dawn] and alam niyo ano ginawa nila? after the screamng and shouting... ayuN, "hit" ule sila to forget what happened. hay. ayowz. May kadiring scene pala, there was this time that Ewan McGregor wanted to get a "hit" so bad that the only available drug there is was a suppository. Wala siyang nagawa, he thrashed it up his anus and while waiting for the effect, ayun at na-jebs siya! he went to this pub na sobrang dumi yuyng rest room. as in! kaya lang wala siya nagawa! di na niya napigilan. after his "business" ayun saka lang niya naalala yung drug na nilagay niya sa anus niya! you know what he did?!! he looked for it don sa bowl, jebs and all! kadiri talaga! kaya lang feeling ko naging symbolism na nung buong katawan niya fit into the toilet bowl tapos he was like swimming in a crystal-clear water... tapos nakita niya yung drug. my own interpretation of that scene was that he would do anything basta drugs ang pinagusapan. wala siyang pakialam. ALthough okay naman nung huli kasi nagbago naman siya. Yung nakaka-"aning" lang talaga was that scene in his bedroom... hindi siya nakapag-"hit" for a couple of days tapos lumabas na yung effect. As in yung baby, nasa ceiling nagko-crawl ng pabaliktad, yung friend niya nakaupo sa tass ng pinto banging the door with the chain in his feet tapos meron sa wall, meron din sa ilalim ng kumot niya! basta as in! i was in awe! Wow. after that mga 7am na ata yun nung nakaalis kami, i went home, tapos ayun nakaidlip, nagising ako mga tipong mgtutwelve na eh yung class ko 1130. Gosh! late na ko. pero when i arrived sa school, ayun, they were setting up this table don sa labas, mang-bi-B.P. daw kami for free instead na magbahay bahay kasi wala daw permit. Grabe, halos wala akong tulog tapos sabay ganun. I thought it would just be easy. HIndi pala! You can't easily convince people to have their B.P's taken. dapat talaga madiskarte ka. grabe, i almost lost my voice... and ang ingay pa sa labas i can't hear the Korotkoff sound [as my prof would say] hehehe.. after a long day, we all went to ministop and i rewarded myself a full meal of fried wanton and a large iced tea. Wow. so much has happened this day. too bad, it's saturday and i'm stuck here but it's okay, i still have a written report to finish. and besides, this is the ONLy time i could rest...
