Apparently…

…I haven’t posted anything for quite awhile now. My computer got itself in need of some technical repairs for unknown reasons, which made my summer a bit more boring than usual. I don’t really feel like going out to the beach or go to some freaking resort. I’d rather laze around.

Anyway, I went maaad over that SpongeBob-A-Thon on Nickelodeon last Friday. Man, that was four freaking hours of new never before seen episodes of Spongebob Squarepants. My eyes wanna pop outta my head due to that heavy consumption of so much Spongebob Squarepants. Boy, was I hungry for cartoons?

Speaking of Spongebob, I was planning to join the “Where’s Gary” contest on Nick last week to win some Spongebob goodies. All I had to do was to find Gary (Spongebob’s pet snail) and SMS them where the hell did I find that snail. But while I was on the edge of sending them an SMS, I suddenly backed off. I just thought that I’m fifteen years old, and I’m too old to join a kiddie contest. Sigh! I was so childish. So I promised myself after consuming that 4-hour Spongebob Squarepants, to watch more grown-up movies than TV shows for kids.

And speaking of grown-up movies, here’s a list of movies that I watched this summer (thanks to HBO!) with a bit of review from a non-movie expert….

1. Stranger Than Fiction
I watched this last holy week with my sister. We both enjoyed the movie and we both found it great. In the first part of the movie, you’ll find Stranger Than Fiction undoubtedly…uh, strange. But in the second part, when everything strange goes clear, you’ll find a very body-twisting twist.

2. The Pursuit of Happyness
And again, I watched this with my sister. I say, this is one sad movie. It will really pull those tears off your eyes and will keep it rolling down on your cheeks. But every story has its happy ending. Good thing.

3. An Inconvenient Truth
Watched this with my sister again which just made her fall asleep since this documentary of Al Gore’s talks too scientifically that normal 5th graders like my sister won’t get to appreciate. Anyway, this docu’s about global warming and how our planet has been constantly changing and all that stuff. Watching that film knocked my conscience off really hard.

We actually viewed it in school some time during the first or second grading in our Soc Sci class but we weren’t able to finish it that’s why I gave a damn to watch it again on HBO. So if you really care about the earth and if you really want your great great great grand children to have a better, greener, and cleaner place to live, watch this film and get a really hard smack on your conscience.

4. Final Destination 3
I just watched this last night and again, with my sister while my parents’re out. That was my third time to see the film but I still felt its thrill, suspense, and gross. Good thing HBO deleted some of its disgusting scenes because my sister was about to spew. I cannot really say that this is a great movie because I’m not really a movie critic but when talking about its suspense/thriller…uh, stuff, it’s good.

That’s it.

Well aside from watching movies and deluging myself in a flood of Spongebob Squarepants, this summer, I somehow, fulfilled one of my frustrations — photography.

Using a not-so-delicious digital camera, I captured some (well for me) nice pictures to satisfy my greatest critic — myself.

Pfffft


I call this one, “I thought I saw a puddy tat”.
That was my cat watching Discovery Travel and Living. Lol.

That’s not all. I am currently updating my crappy DeviantArt. You can view it whenever you want, but please leave a comment so that I know that you dropped by. Please, as much as possible, appreciate my photography. Thanks. :D

That’s everything I can post for now. Later! :)
