Typhoons ruin EVERYTHING

I hate typhoons during the summer, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COME JUST WHEN YOU'VE SCHEDULED YOUR BEACH TRIP!!!! Funny thing is, we were at the beach EXACTLY when the typhoon came. (If we came an hour earlier or later, it would have been only rain and a bit of wind, which was okay) The waves were raging, the air was blowing us and the tree leaves so harshly and making raindrops smash on our skin which felt like a hundred NEEDLES piercing you. LOL. Not to mention, the moronic caretakers of the beach won't give discounts on the P1500 huts which were ABSOLUTELY USELESS during the typhoon.

So yes, I currently have bad cough and colds and got sick when we went home. Oh, and definitely frustrated because it felt like we gave away money. LOL. But if I want to feel better, I can definitely see this as a new experience--you know, being at the beach exactly during a typhoon and being pushed around by the waves-- which is kind of nice if only the useless huts were free! The guys enjoyed fighting with the wind and waves, of course, so I guess it was okay.. again, if ONLY the useless huts were free. haha.

Anyway, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

"Creative Bumming"

I'm learning so much from my production workshop and we've had only 3 meetings so far! One of the many things I've learned is to do "creative reading" and "creative watching". That's how your imagination and ideas expand, of course. I've been doing that even before the workshop but now, I guess I pay more attention to it. So recently I've mostly been doing that: watching good movies and reading good books. (I'm afraid I don't have good taste when it comes to music. lol). I should call it "creative/productive bumming". I'm also more open to local films now. I was always biased about local films, thinking they're too shallow, superficial, redundant, and 1,000,000% mainstream. Not to mention how actor-based these films are. I guess commercialized movies which are the most visible ones are like that, but when you look closer or dig deeper, you actually find few but great movies.

Pacquiao

I woke up early this morning hearing the news that around 50 of our dear politicians went to the US to "watch" the Pacquiao and Hatton match. How exciting to know that the people's money can send government representatives on luxurious trips nowadays! Kinda gives you a reason to wish Pacquiao would lose this fight. lol.
So, yeah, just another one of my political frustration rantings.;)
