a rather fruitful weekend

bf is busy with work yesterdat and he had airsoft session the following day. so i made plans of my own! i couldn't believe how much i was able to do, instead of just eat-sleep-eat-sleep routine that we've gotten used to.

watched kimmidora. i think im becoming too serious now. i didn't like it. i think it's overrated. or maybe i was just expecting too much.

watched 500 days of summer. i liked the lines and story. i hated summer though. aaaahhhh... the heartbreak! come here, jgl, let me comfort you. hihihi

watched my sister's keeper. this is the first picoult novel that i read. i liked it so much that i read all picoult's novels available in the library thereafter. i like her courtroom dramas. i specifically remembered this novel because of its 'ruthless' ending. but i guess i would not have liked picoult that much if it ended in a more sensible way. anyway, the movie was good and faithful to the book. i cried the same way when i was reading the novel -- but it ended differently. way differently! what the hell?! the movie went for the 'sensible' ending. noooohhhhh!!!

watched 'this is it' -- in a moviehouse. ok here's the thing, eversince i got a laptop and internet connection, i never go to moviehouses anymore unless it's free. i used to go every tuesday on my first year in hk but i stopped after i realized what a rip off it is when i can always download it from the net and watch it in the comfort of my room. but for michael jackson... how could you cheat on the man? i super super like his songs. even used them as theme songs for friends and past lovers. so i booked the first sunday morning screening and went through the nostalgia. he's still sooo good, and with every song you could feel everybody involved pouring their heart out. they all grew up to his songs and you could really see how they are inspired by the genius who is the star of the show. it's a pity that he didn't live long enough to perform what they rehearsed. much respect, mj.

went snorkeling. we've been planning for weeks and weeks to go to the beach this year but it never pushed through. there's just always a reason to not go - bad weather, no money for transpo, or just plain laziness. i packed last night everything i need for my solo flight snorkel adventure. i was thinking of backing out the last minute because i didn't get enough sleep the night before. but i gave myself one push and rode the train. about 3 minutes before i arrived at the beach, rain fell--giving me another reason to go home. but what the heck. i hopped on the ferry and snorkeled to my heart's content. aaaaahhhhh... i definitely made the right choice by going to kiu tsui. and dig this: i got the beach all to myself. sweet, eh?
