Happy Holi-daze!

Christmas reunion on the 24th was "virtually" uneventful. Had the usual family gathering... ate enough food for 3 people... then went home to sleep it off. After Christmas, i spent the next three days being my mom's driver and hit the malls and chinatown.

Then Wednesday came, mom woke me around 12nn (cut me some slack, I sleep at 5 am) to take her to the bank then to the hospital. My "gua-kong" (grandfather) was at the emergency room at Chinese Gen. having palpitations. We got there around 1-1.30pm coz the bank was slow (daming tao kc, last day ng bank). We found him in the ER hooked up to a cardioscope, my Aunt was with him by then.

The readings of the cardioscope looked like stock market figures -H.R.... 70... 125... 84... 175...?!

We paid for a room and waited up to 3pm till he got transferred to his room. Stubborn old coot didnt want to stay in the hospital. Sez he wants to go to Metro for a 2nd opinion (ayaw pa-confine, nag-hahanap ng excuse, ugh.) Mom finally got him to settle down.

Now the wait for my Grandma starts.

She had an "appointment" she didnt want to miss, a.k.a. "swimming" (mah-jong). We all had to cover for her. She finally arrived around 11pm. Enter Grandma:

"Ano, ok na?"
guakong (in chinese): "tingnan natin bukas sa sementeryo"

(Sarap batukan mga matatatandang 'to) Anyways, I spent the next two days in the hospital with my mom and grandma. Pag-iniiwan ako ksama lolo ko, kung anu-ano na sinasabi (in chinese lahat):

"Pwede bang lakasan yung drip (nung dextrose), para maubos na?" (... uhm...)
"Wag ka mag-aasawa ng Pilipino." (nge, big surprise)
"Tapusin mo muna pag-aaral mo, wag ka muna mag-asawa." (whatever)
"Pag-doctor ka na... pag buhay pa ko... ikaw na gagamot sakin." (ewan! sobra morbid)

He finally got released this morning. Dunno who's more relieved, him or us.

Latter Days... the "other" side

Christian, a hunky West Hollywood party boy gets more than he bargains for when he tries to seduce Elder Aaron Davis, a sexually confused Mormon missionary who moves into his apartment complex. When Christian exposes Davis' secret sexual desire, Davis' rejects Christian for being shallow and empty. The encounter shatters each boy's reality and draws the two into a passionate romance that risks destroying their lives. Latter Days is a charming, sexy, and moving tale that will leave you believing in the transformational power of love.***

nope, I'm not making this up. Its the plot of the movie Latter Days, which I recently watched on dvd. I'm not really into romantic movies but I was curious... (hehehe) IT HAS A GAY THEME! (duh) which made it interesting, and instead of the usual girl/girl makeout scenes that hollywood likes to stick in movies, it has... well, you get the idea.

Honestly, I watched it 'coz i was really curious, most romantic films that have heterosexual protagonists have the usual boring plots - they meet (bump) each other, take one look, falls in looove, spends the rest of the movie either

1) doing stupid stuff to get him/her to fall in love, or
2) defying odds/destiny/their families/etc just to be together.

You've seen one romantic flick, you've seen 'em all. I mean, how many new twists can people come up with just to make romantic films interesting?

ENTER: 2 males - kissing scenes, SEX scenes (not explicit, but... hehehe.)

Anyways, I actually didnt think they could make this flick work... dont get me wrong, i'm not a homophobic bigot, but I thought that a movie with homosexual male characters might not effectively show "romantic" love without making it look, well, either brotherly or skanky. This movie was a surprise though - they actually made it work, made the love between these two people seem... natural, normal. It gives "straight" people a peek into the UNKNOWN or at least challege their preconceived notions on homosexual relationships. Its a good movie, not OSCAR-winning good, more like Teen's Choice Awards. But at least it didnt suck too much (no pun intended).

NARCOLEPSY... or whatever!

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm.
And there's a demon in my brain, that starts to overwhelm,
And there it goes, my last chance for peace,
I lay me down, But I get no release.

I try to keep awake, I try to swim beneath,
But still I find this narcolepsy slide,
Into another nightmare.

And there's a demon in my head,
Who starts to play,
A nightmare tape loop
of what went wrong yesterday,
And I hold my breath
'Till it's more than I can take,
And I close my eyes; I dream that I'm awake.

I try to keep awake, I try to keep awake
But still I find this Narcolepsy slides
Into another nightmare...
*~ 3rd Eye Blind, Narcolepsy ~*
