Slumdog Millionaire

Waaaah!!! Three words : I LOVE IT!

Benjamin Button, say goodbye to all the awards you’re expecting to receive. (LOL)

Slumdog Millionaire is a movie that doesn’t only have a great story.. but it actually contains pieces of truth.. It shows both political and religious aspects of India. It shows the current situation of India without having to dwell on it but rather illustrating it in a manner that will make people think and realize these aspects of India themselves. I love how the story ended. It is very befitting for the story. haay. hehe

Well, there’s somewhat a suprise on the movie’s ending. It is something you’ll either love or hate. In my case, i loved it. hahahaha

Hope this movie wins best motion picture of the year at the Oscar’s.

:D

February Fair Fever!

It’s finally feb-fair! wohoo!!! For those who do not know what the february fair is, it is actually like the celebration of UP fair in Diliman.. Here in UPLB, we call it feb-fair!

This year was unlike any other that i’ve experienced.. So much issues with the admin that the students had to rally to actually have this fair possible. It was really an anxiety filled experience. It was a first for me to experience such pickets that the students had to make a human barricade at the UP gate. It was really nice to see that there are still a lot of people who are not apathetic and still care about the democracy of the student body.

So after a long day of picketing, (we started at about 10am and ended at about 6pm) the admin finally gave in.. But there are still some issues to be discussed.. But nonetheless, the greatest governing body of the UP system, prevailed!

By about 7 pm we were already allowed to build our booths (which is already very late because we usually put up our booths in the morning) and about 10:00 pm, we were done with building it.

We’re all very excited for the coming days! The february fair is something that any isko or iska shouldn’t miss. It is only the event where a whole lot of alumni come to elbi. It is actually the highlight of the school year. Most people save their would-have-been absences just for this ocassion.. But of course, we should never forget why there is a february fair in the first place.. and that is to commemorate the protest fair which happened in the time of martial law.

Funny

So i’m bored.. What’s new right?

Since i’m bored, i’m actually looking at other people’s profiles. Just looking at their albums and browsing through people who i think are interesting. So i came across some pictures with captions like “enjoying europe” or “in sentosa” or something like that… but all you can see in the picture is a close-up of their face. Wow. that’s kinda weird… more of funny really.. I mean why would you post  a cropped picture of your face and put a caption wherein a scenery is required? just weird. 

Oh well.. I guess boredom also makes me mean at times. 

Lonely

Now i know that i am once again feeling lonely… Whenever i’d be frequently online on a certain website, i know that i’m having this solitary feeling again… Well, i’ve been online the whole day today and i still haven’t logged out.

I’m wondering why until now, no one still makes my heart skip a beat or all those electrifyingly-kilig-moments. Well, i guess someone did… But i won’t let it get into my head.. and most of all not let it get into my thing that has four valves and pumps blood to our body.

MacPorts problem solved!

I’ve been trying to install the jpeg library on my mac for sometime now. I manually tried installing it.. and i had lots of problems doing that! and i mean lots… i had to manually change header files.. bla bla.. and still to no avail. So i tried researching if there is an easier way to install it on my mac’s system… and i found the answer.. which is MacPorts! wohoo..

so i was excited to try it. so i installed everything needed.. but the prolbem was that whenever i’d try to run the install on my port, i wouldn’t work… i actually thought of reformatting my mac.. good thing i didn’t.. because i found the root problem.. and it was with my password! my kind-of non-existent password (which was basically a blank) and i changed it to something with characters.. and voila! my woes have been solved in under 20 seconds. i love macports! hehe
