entry by a workaholic

Thursday, December 14, 2006

tomorrow marks the last day of my stay in this office. well, officially my last day is on dec 31. but i filed some of my remaining vacation leave to sniff some fresh air before moving on.

yup. i still dont know if i made the right decision. but i've always been firm on what i do. i dont normally regret things... well at least i try not to. it doesnt help to remove this sadness though. i've always live for my work. while so many of my friends tell me to live my life... for me, life is work and the sidelines would be my lovelife, passion for sport (err, watching them i mean), shopping and the rest of my vanities. so people dont usually understand how i feel leaving a certain company... be it for 5 years or even less than a year. for me, its like totally changing my life.

and so change beckons me.

please dont ask why im leaving. i still dont know any subtle way of saying it except for the fact that days (or situations) have changed me and i can no longer look at people around me in the same way. deep down, somehow... i feel that i have made a wrong choice but then again, it made me realize things that i lack... the skills that i still need to acquire. i honestly am afraid that i've degraded myself for not being able to stay given the situation. still, if i dont do that, i will continue to deteriorate and in the process, bring people around me with me. that would be worst, dont you think?

so im going to start fresh again... i hope. wish me luck.

now to lighten things up...

movie review: meeting the new bond (casino royale)

Monday, December 11, 2006

honestly, i wasnt a believer of the new james bond character. when i saw the trailer, i said that he wouldnt fit the suit. i did see him with the a lesser sense of fashion, humor, charisma the the bond attitude must have (or the past pierce brosnan had). and with the casino royale plot, i expect less of the gadgets, cars, and women. and after i had the nerve to lose P160 just to watch it, i realized that i wasnt entirely correct.

while its true that most of who watched the flick got dis -appointed with Q entirely out of the pic, i believe that its a better adaptation than the casino royale movie back in the 60s (or was it 70s). the jbond series have become a comodity in the movie industry... highlighting more on the concept cars of some giant car manufacturing entity, special gadgets that would require the latest special FX, and the hottest women with the sexiest bods that would plague the next men's mags. too much of the gadgetry in my opinion, turned it into a Mission-Impossible type of flick than that of a Bourne-series. but looking past those (though, i understand it wouldnt be easy for most of us especially the younger ones), you'll get to appreciate the storyline itself. how on gets a double O status? that agents do make mistakes, and usually have a lot of ego. except when bond was chasing this bomber-turned-spiderman, the movie is as real as one can get. by the time you leave the theater, you can say to yourself that somewhere in UK, there's a double O status agent. for real! you can get it from a more professional review site but here's my take on the new bond movie.

[WARNING: SPOILERS UP AHEAD]

the new bond wasnt a women's man as the old bonds potrayed to be. thus, less flirting and more true feelings. i guess when i watched the old bond flicks, i knew those bond women would only last the end of that movie. and even if they were left alive on script, they wouldnt appear on the next episode. remember, in this movie, bond just became a double O status... thus the mistakes and huge ego, including the fact that he became emotionally-attached (and he really mean emotionally-attached!) to his woman that the plot needed to kill her and in effect make him more human. i guess you could say that its his first lesson as an agent. i believe this part is essential in the him becoming what he is right now (or what he would be on the next series of bond flicks).

Your not-so-friendly Spidey

i still dont see him physically as "the james bond"; i dont like his wet scene on the beach. he looks old for my taste, hence less raves on the younger genre. he's just a new agent but he already got less hair, and im not refering to his chest or legs. he's abs is not exactly my type either. i like wolverine's (hugh jackman) better, hahaha. but as the scene unfolds, he blends well with his character. love the poker scene. i dont know how to play it but i knew that its all bout reading others and getting out a good bluff. the movie took details and played out the characters more than the backdrop and the sidelines.

mind games

the movie is an old-school bond flick, classic and suave. its essential to watch this movie unless you vowed to stay loyal to the old bond movies (cars, gadgets and women) and promised never to watch the rest of it till they change david craig. believe me, it isnt that bad (though the true classic bond fanatics still preferred sean connery, i dont know how he did his bond thingies) and it makes crave for the next one. i wouldnt know if Q would appear but as long as the story wouldnt dull, i will certainly see the rest of the craig's bond series. for the cars, the fast and the furious flicks would fill my appetite for the hot wheels. lastly, the women??? heck, i couldnt care less. i am, after all, one myself.

the new eye wear

Thursday, December 07, 2006

i went home from the office earlier than usual... didnt feel well at all. i think even spread my virus and chris got them. as soon as i came home, i ran to our family doctor (well, he's the son of our family doctor turned surgeon).

my eyes hurt this morning, the kind that feels like its twitching on it own and you cant stop it. and i threw up thrice, im not sure if it was caused by the toffee nutt brownie-thingie that i kept overnight before eating. my temples hurt and my sense of smell is too much... too sensitive that i think i can smell even the slightest scent. so after asking some of the usual med questions, he said if i work in front of the computer most of the time. (errr, yeah.) so he asked me to have my eyes checked. (o-oh!) and before i knew it, im back as the girl with the glasses. argh! back in grade school, i had those really huge glasses... my mom said it looks ok, but it nearly cover more than a quarter of face. and to top it off, the rims were red. argh! ok... stop your imagination. even my personal rewind give me the creeps. spare me.

anyway, i hope this look isnt as bad as before. presenting... the new (***how i wish... ***) and improved h2omelon-with-glasses!
