Rocky May Cry
Religiously I sought that smile and
Over the hill we met.
Careless and free and
Kind and happy.
You vanished abruptly.
May I find you again someday,
As I walked through this darkness.
You beacon me towards the light.
Careless and free and
Renewed and blessed.
You and I shall meet again.
(Rocky May Cry)
Written in the voice of Rocky (an office mate), this is a birthday poem in lieu of a message I wrote for an office mate's birthday. Every time somebody celebrates a birthday, one of my office mates would collect messages and create a powerpoint presentation to be sent to the celebrant a day or so before his or her birthday.
June 1 - Happy birthday, Lou.

For Irene
Remember that being a Kagay-anon
You are beautiful,
You are smart,
You are friendly,
You are sincere.
Remember that you are.
Because we do.
Believe that you have
The most beautiful of eyes,
The most charming of smiles,
The most contagious of laughs,
The most loyal of friendships.
Believe that you have.
Because we do.
Know that on this day
You are remembered,
You are cherished,
You are blessed,
You are loved.
Know that you are.
Because we do.

Ayon kay Ploning
Si Ploning na ang maysabi,
O minsa'y nagtanong,
"Hindi ba mas masarap isipin,
Na kaya ikaw ang mas nasasaktan
Dahil ikaw ang mas nagmamahal?"
Huwag kang matakot Mae,
Huwag mangamba,
Hayaan mong dumaan ang nakaraan.
Hayaang saktan ka ng karanasan.
Hayaang mga sugat ay humilom.
Hayaan mong ngumiti muli
Ang iyong isipan,
Iyong puso,
Iyong damdamin.
'Kaw ang mas nasaktan.
Dahil ikaw ang mas nagmahal.

Theater Report: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
May 27, 2008
Ayala Center Cinema 1
7:10 PM
Attendance: 90% of capacity
Previews:
Narnia 2: Prince Caspian - this is the only trailer attached it. Looks great and it has been chosen as the movie night pick for June so I'll probably see this for free (just like this movie).
Story:
By nature, Indiana Jones movies aren't enjoyable when you already know how the story went and how it ended. So let me just quote some spoiler-free plot posted in IMDB:
This is a fun summer flick, just like the first three movies in the series. Some people will probably not like the ending, and I had to admit I had to pause to decide whether I like what I was seeing or not. But by then I've enjoyed the journey going to that ending that I thought it was pointless to search my feelings whether I like the ending or not. This is an Indiana Jones movie after all. An over-the-top ending should be expected.
I love the music of John Williams. There's a certain Star Wars feel to it that I half-expected old Indy to wield a lightsaber when in peril. The theme (March from the Raiders of the Lost Ark) is arguably one of the most recognizable movie themes and it made me feel nostalgic listening to it inside the theater.
Harrison Ford looked clearly a bit too old to play the Indiana Jones character. You have to suspend disbelief that a character that old can kick butt. If ever there's going to be an Indiana Jones 5, somebody else would probably take over the role. Somebody in this movie (and you'd understand who when you see this one), or at least the character will be it, the next Indy.
Will I see it again? I don't know. Perhaps I'd see it again just to check out the newly-renovated SM Cinemas 7 & 8, but it's not really among my priorities right now. Would I recommend it to my friends? Yes. It's worth the ticket price that I didn't have to pay to see this movie (thanks to the movie nights).
