FML

I fucking lost my wallet :((

I got out of the house today because my mom asked me to pay the telephone bill... I decided to withdraw money from my bank account so I can pay for my cellphone bill, and buy some stuffs.. So I withdrew two thousand pesos, put it in my wallet, and put the passbook in my wallet too, since it fits there. I am almost sure, 99.9% sure, that I put my wallet in my right pocket, because it always goes there, since my cellphone occupies my left pocket. And I always sit at the right side of the bus, always window seat, as much as possible. In this setup, my wallet is (supposedly) safe from pickpockets, but my cellphone is not, but I'd really rather lose my cellphone than my wallet.

Anyway, I got off at SM Southmall, went directly to PLDT, got a number, sat down, felt my pockets, and boom, my wallet wasn't there. I instantly thought of looking for the bus that I just rode on, so I ran (not really) out of PLDT, out of Southmall, and looked for the bus. I found it, talked to the driver and the conductor to explain the situation, and they allowed me to look for it on the bus. It wasn't there :( I am also 99.9% sure that they didn't take it themselves. They really seemed honest. I got out of the bus, defeated.

There are a few thoughts that come to mind:

1.) Someone fished it out of my pocket, after I got out of the bank, and before I rode the bus. I curse my shorts for having shallow pockets.

2.) The guy who sat beside me (on my left), and then changed seats, MIGHT have stolen it. But again, I'm 99.9% sure that I put my wallet in my right pocket, and I was at the rightmost seat possible in the bus.

3.) The wallet fell during the bus ride, before reaching SM Southmall. So the person behind me might have taken it, or anybody else for that matter. I am 99.9% sure (again) that I am the last person to get off the bus, except for the driver and conductor of course.

4.) The wallet fell on the bus, nobody else saw it, the driver and/or the conductor saw it and lied to me. But I really think they're honest.. I've been riding the bus for... almost 10 years now, and they were familiar faces. Of course that doesn't mean that they really are honest, it's just my gut feeling that they were.

I think it's number 1 or 3... This wouldn't really help me find my wallet or anything... It just helps a bit I guess... I don't really care about the money right now, even if I'm really in a financial crisis.. I just want the wallet and the other contents back :( I really really wish that I lost my cellphone instead... I just lost
  • DLSU ID
  • DLSU Alumni ID
  • Bench Loyalty Card
  • UCPB ATM
  • BDO ATM
  • Powerbooks Gift Card (worth 1k, ouch. I should've bought The Lost Symbol, but I didn't really want a hardbound copy of it, and the paperbound wasn't available yet, so I decided to postpone buying it)
  • Starbucks Card (sentimental value, this was from my sister, and the Starbucks card is only available in the US)
  • Timezone Card
  • SCJP Card (how am I ever gonna get another one of this >.<)
  • PhilHealth Card
  • Community tax certificate
  • ATM receipts (trash)
  • I think the receipt of my iPod was there, but it's past 1 year anyway (I think)
  • I think my Archuleta-Cook concert ticket was there :(
  • Or maybe the Lifehouse concert ticket...
  • Pictures
  • Money
  • oh yeah, the passbook of my bank account
  • and some other stuff that I'm forgetting
This really sucks... How many honest Filipinos are there? Almost none. That's the same chances that I have of seeing that wallet again. And what ID am I going to use now when I'm going to interviews and the building security asks for an ID?

F*CK MY LIFE.

Bummer

I can't believe I lost 10 fucking pounds.

Well, what did I expect. For the past n months, I've been sleeping at 5AM, and wakes up at 3PM, effectively missing breakfast, brunch, and lunch. My current financial status doesn't help either. Ugh, I'm stuck in a rut. To even prove that I'm stuck in a rut, I googled "I'm in a rut" to see if I used it correctly (apparently not), and I found this website

http://www.tressugar.com/1028013

which is exactly what I'm feeling now, 'cept maybe for the "social life is a wreck." I mean, my social life isn't really "alive" right now, but I wouldn't call it a wreck. But for the other things, yeah. I don't even remember if I wrote that and hid in a pseudonym. LOL.

This is probably the suckiest year of my life... Not counting the year I got hospitalized and operated on a week before my birthday, you get the point.

Anyway, I'm going out today so I can finally be a registered voter... Not that I'm looking forward to voting, especially when there's no "vote-worthy" candidate in my eyes... Anyway, there's still a few months before the actual elections, so I hope someone really steps forward.

I'm fucking sleepy... I haven't slept yet... I stayed up all night, watching Will & Grace bloopers on YouTube cos some guy I'm following tweeted it... I'm still deciding if I'll "take a nap" after I get registered, but I'm guessing that I'll probably sleep all the way, until 7PM or something, and that would totally ruin my sleeping habits (as if it isn't ruined yet).

Time to get registered...

Showmance!

Been a while! Haha I knew from the start I wouldn't be able to maintain this on a daily basis even if I wanted to, but here I am, trying again!

Actually, I just wanted to say that the second episode of Glee is amazing! It totally lived up to my expectations. I was already having goosebumps from the first 20 seconds. Hahaha!

And because I don't wanna spoil it for you guys, I'll just post here where you can download it, especially for people not living in the continental US.

For torrent users, you can download it in isoHunt. My friend asked me to upload it in MegaUpload as well.

Enjoy!

The Proposal

It was really a surprise for us that this movie was shown a week before it was supposed to be shown here in the Philippines. We were really waiting for this movie because the trailer was just freakin good so we had no qualms about it being shown a bit early.

And boy, was I ever glad that my expectations of the movie were met! I really love Sandra Bullock and it was nice to see her back at the big screen. Her acting is still natural. I just love how flexible she can be, from the bitchy boss to the not-meaning-to-be-funny funny person. I can still remember when she said "Alaskaaaaa." Haha sorry, you hafta watch it to get me. Ryan Reynolds was good too. The look on his face when Sandra Bullock told him "we're getting married" was priceless. Haha. Each of them had shots at comedic, dramatic and romantic scenes, and I have to say they did really well.

Speaking of Alaska, can I just say wow? Alaska is beautiful, the movie makes you wanna go there for a vacation. It's amazing how movies can take you to places without moving an inch, and experiencing it as if you're really there.

And oh, you gotta love that nude scene >:) I read in a Yahoo! News article that they really were naked when they did that, and Sandra Bullock said "he's hard." LOL. Actually, reading forward, she actually referred to his body, meaning he was buff and all that. I love her humor. I'll try looking for that article again.

Overall, it was a great film. It's not one of your average chick flicks or feel-good movies. I love the ending. And stay for the credits :) Enjoy!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Saw HP6 last Thursday with high school friends. Turned out to be a good mini reunion, and an awesome movie!

I was planning on reading again the 6th book before watching the movie because I've forgotten some (if not most, lol) of the details. All I could remember was the death of Dumbledore. Turns out, it's a good thing I wasn't able to read it, because my other friend (friend A) was disappointed, and my other friend (friend B) was fuming because friend A kept on talking to friend B about the differences between the book and the movie. Haha.

Anyway, 5 movies have been made, and they all differed from the book somehow, so it wasn't really a surprise for me that there were differences and cuts. We just have to make do with what we are given :) And I still think it's an awesome interpretation of the book.

The cinematography was awesome, we all agreed to that. The shots were just amaziiiiiiing. Harry, Hermione and Ron have really grown, physically and emotionally. It was nice to see them having relationship problems for a change. I really felt for Hermione. She's a great actress too.

I'm really glad that I'm part of the Harry Potter world. It's one of the greatest novels/movies of our time. I wouldn't recommend watching HP6 for the casual watcher. It's imperative that you've seen the first 5 movies so you wouldn't have questions in your mind while watching. Plus it's fun to see them grow up. Haha.
