Maldita

I was invited by a college friend to watch Shrek3 last week. It actually didnt excite me that much because I didnt watch the 1 & 2 in its entirety.. to be exact, actually I wasnt much of a fan for cartoonic movies.. hardly watched any of those in the moviehouses before.

And it came to my surprise that I like it :). It was cool, I love the paawa effect facial expression of the cat (puss in boots) and also the part when the song 'Thats what friends are for' is played.. funny. There wasnt any dragging part, at least I didnt glance at my watch to check the time. - this is definitely a good sign! :)

As I look back, I am thinking why I used to dislike watching such movies.. and then I remember the reason. (actually a shallow one hehe). I remembered there was this certain group of girls in school who likes to make pa-cute to the max. One instance is baking cookies and bringing them to school to feed the guys and attract attention. I wasnt impressed of their cookies (madali lng ata gawin yon eh), my goodness cook real food! hehe baking cookies is too pa-cute for me, not my cup of tea. :) I'd rather buy Chips Ahoy than make one.

Anyway going back, I remembered Finding Nemo was being shown then. They make lots of comments on the superlative degree.. 'ang cute-cute-cute-cute ni Nemo.. and ni Dory... you should watch that, I watch it for 3 (separate) times in the moviehouse'... ???? Okay... what again? 3x? I still havent tried watching a movie in the moviehouse for more than once. DVDs pwede pa, but probably after a long interval.

So finally I got to watch the Finding Nemo at home (I borrowed a DVD after it ceased airing), bearing the highest expectations... and I was disappointed. The movie probably is good, but sometimes you cant help to be biased by those 'superlative degrees' feedbacks. I actually got bored when Dory keeps on forgetting while Nemo is finding his way back home. Sheesh talking about my low attention span.. patience is a virtue hehe. After that, I think I havent watched any Disney or cartoon movie till now.

My maldita side probably is striking again haha. Why is it so easy to dislike the likes of a person you dont like? Ala-tongue twister ito ah. (same with the other way around, and why it seems effortless to like the likes of a person you like) Humans are weird beings.

There's one more I cant forget. Because of the evilness of this person, her/his every expression connotes disgust (actually to a lot of people, not just me). This person has this favorite expression that really gets to my nerves when I hear it, and that is the word 'bucks'.
'Yup cheap lng dyan, 50 bucks lng'
'I bought that for 5000 bucks'
'Give me 20 bucks'

Everything is 'bucks', and you'll hear it several times a day. Probably if you're conio, you still dont really have to permanently replace the word peso with bucks??! In normal conversation, you can simply say, 'it costs 1000' (obvious na yun, no need to append with bucks or peso) Probably you can use 'bucks' sparingly, occasionally but everytime is like too much? haha. Actually the word bucks is okay... biglang naging nakakainis lang kasi lagi-lagi nya ginagamit.

Above mentioned behaviors are not recommended practices, oopps ang sungay.. hehe magpapakabait na nga ako. :)
