Who still watches Rambo!?! Well, apparently my dad does. He even bought a DVD :-{ And so I mocked and teased my dad about that fact. Well I guess to pay me back, he called me into his room, telling me that I should watch this particular scene from the movie. I though it was a typical action scene where the lead action star (Rambo), shoots every guy (in true military style) that comes his way. Pero Hindi!!! Its a scene where Rambo slits, slices or whatever you call it, the stomach of this guy (almost in slow motion) . GRRROOOOOSSS TOO THE MAX!!!! AS IN!!!

Now tell me, who would want to watch Rambo?

I can feel April is going to be one hectic, and busy month. For some reason, it always is, especially when I'm planning to travel the following month. Not to mention that I'll be broke (not poor as Jusap would say) for the said month since I'll be paying my mom 40% already for payment for my car.

Hopefully, I can still have time to reflect and serve for Holy Week.

But then the good side of being busy is that it allows me to think of things that would make me happy, so that I can (must!) try to squeeze it into my busy days. Just so I'd feel that I'm not totally a slave for work.

1. Finally drive my own car! (But first get a non pro license and learn automatic)
2. Plan for upcoming trip with xtin and friend (para may ma-daydream ako during ofc hours)
3. Reward myself with a nice bag (the one that I've been looking for since forever)
4. Renew my 'license' as Church lector/speaker
5. Write to my sponsored child (its a girl this time!)
6. Buy a new phone (courtesy of ♥)
7. Try out one of those Conquer Pinatubo treks.

But then, not all of these things come for free. As I am broke for this month, and that I find shopping therapeutic, I have to find some ways to limit my spendings.

• Don't buy back issues of my fave magazines [Cost: P200]
• Try to eat breakfast at home, so i won't have to eat my lunch as breakfast in the office. (Gulo ba?) [cost: P80 per day]
• Do my own Mani and Pedis [cost: P300 per service]
• Ride the bus instead of taxi if its not yet past 10 [cost: P110]
  
• Limit myself to going to malls (Must not succumb to temptation!) [cost: Priceless!]
  

If I follow these things, I could probably save up enough peso to join one of those Pinatubo treks. But of course, that remains to be seen :) Kaya, super Good Luck will power!

If its not too bold to say, I think I can drive well already :) But then on second thought, how come I can sense my instructor, Manny and Ervin holding their breaths whenever I'm making a U-Turn?

Speaking of Manny, I'm lucky to have him as my driving instructor. After 5 minutes of teaching me the basics of driving, he basically just told me to drive already in Makati (!), but instead of feeling nervous and scared, he made funny jokes that helped ease my fear.

Tomorrow would be my last driving class, and as a way of saying thanks, I bought Kuya Manny this cute shirt (with Tito, Vic and Joey as design). Gets? Hehe. Bought the shirt from my favorite manong Guard as a way of helping him as well :)

I thought going home at 1 am in my previous company would be the worse, but I thought wrong. Yesterday topped that when I got to spend almost 24 hours (!!!) in AIU. Unfortunately, despite the hours, we were not even able to release the build, and had to come back again the following day (well technically, a few hours after). The only consolation was that at least my teammates were fun to work with. When I feel stressed out, it helps when i still get to smile or laugh :)

Good thing, all of this is over already (I hope so). Kaya bumawi ako today :) I was able to get my student's License, drive in Makati (yes naman!!) , watch a movie (see related post), get some facial, and best of all, I got to do some serious shopping :) Ervin even treated me to a comfy shirt :)

Extra Bonus for today was finding out the ticket that I purchased for my Cambodia trip was discounted. Woohoo!! :)

Now this is the kind of busy that I like! :)

I haven't heard of this movie until Ervin told me this morning. Shocks, ganun na ba ako ka-busy sa work. I'm supposed to be the one updating Ervin about this things! Good thing he did because I LURVE THIS MOVIE!!! :) Liam Neeson's character is a one bad a** killing machine!! :) hahaha

Story is basically about a retired secret agent named Brian Mills, and his mission to save his estranged and only daughter, who has been kidnapped in Paris and is forced into the slave trade.

Well instead of Bryan calling the police for help (which is the realistic thing to do), he resorts to his skills and just goes on a killing spree on everyone connected to his daughter's kidnapping. Medyo Over but that's what makes this movie cool!! Who would have thought that Liam Neeson could be this action star, and get to deliver this famous lines.

“I don’t know you who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you’re looking for a ransom, I can tell you, I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills acquired over a very long career in the shadows, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you. And I will kill you.”

Ang over diba! Hahah

Though I think the Korean version is cuter, this is my feel-good song of the moment :)

Insomnia - Craig David

I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough

Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up

Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah

Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because

I can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

"We are the Eraserheads"

When Ely said those words, I couldnt help but feel a chill. Grabe, maski more than 3 hours kaming nakatayo, it was all worth it :-) Though they didnt play, "Huwag Kang Matakot", hearing "Spolarium" and "Huling El Bimbo" surely made up for it. I can't help but feel all nostalgic again.

Supposedly, it was "Huling El Bimbo" which should have been their finale song (the feeling was bittersweet, na teary-eyed ako), but then a few minutes after the concert ended, with lot of people on their way to the exit already, here comes Raymond telling everyone "Nabitin ba kayo?".

Super I can't describe the feeling. Right there and there, the band plays 3 more songs. 3 happy songs: Ligaya /Sembreak/Toyang. And the happiness and excitement lingers on.

P.S ang gwapo ni ely with his guy eyeliner ;)
