* Rainy Monday *

Malakas ang ulan.

Sympre kailangan miserable ako sa unang araw ng pagpasok sa trabaho matapos ang mahabang absence dahil sa pesteng sore eyes. Hindi ako magdadala ng payong... dahil...milyon milyong payong na ang naiwala ko kung saan saan. Eh taena.. sino ba ang gustong magdala ng payong???

Iniisip ko pa lang ang tambak ng trabaho sa office.. gusto ko na ulit umabsent. Ako ang reyna ng PROCRASTINATION.. isipin mo yan. Ibig sabihin maliban dun sa mga iniwanan kong trabaho bago ako nagka sore eyes.. meron pang mga panibago ulit na gagawin dahil matagal akong nawala. Sigurado.. pag uwi ko mamaya mananaginip na naman ako ng mga papel na nagsasalita at folders na nanghahabol. At sigurado.. pagbukas ko ng Outlook sa sandaling umupo ako sa cubicle ko ay magmumura ako ng malakas.

At ito pa..hindi pa ako nakakaligo ay tumutunog na ang telepono ko. Isang rep na hindi makakapasok dahil FAMILY EMERGENCY daw. Nang itanong ko kung ano ang emergency.. naoperahan daw ang tatay nya dahil... sa sakit sa bato. WOW. Gaano kaya kalaking bato?? Ang hirap talagang maging Team Leader. Putangina. Lagot na naman ako sa boss ko dahil nawawalan na naman ako ng isang unggoy. Umiinit na naman ang ulo ko. Eh bakit ba ganun?? Ang pakiramdam ko ay dahil sa mabait ako sa kanila.. inaabuso na naman ako. One of these days...mag te terminate na talaga ako ng tao. Ina nila. Pero hindi pa ngayon... understaffed kami.

Papasok na ko... kahit hindi pa ako natutulog. Ilang kape na naman ang lalagukin ko mamaya.. hindi ko alam. Mainit na ang ulo ko.. gudlak na lang sa kanila.

*bored..but well*

You know that feeling you get on a Sunday?? Like you are having the most wonderful time and then out of the blue you felt like all the happiness are being sucked down in a pitch black of loneliness because you are thinking of the things that you need to do on a Monday morning? Fuck. i'm having that moment.. right about now.

DEATH NOTE: ONE TWISTED MOVIE, AN AMATEUR REVIEW


*This is a review of the movie, not the anime.

Short Background Check
Death Note is a Japanese manga series that was originally written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata.Death Note was released last 2
003 and made its way in the movie industry. The movie was produced by Warner Bros.,Japan last 2006. The plot centers around a college student, Light Yagami, who found a supernatural book that kills every human being by just simply writing their names on it. Light believes that by eliminating criminals and people who are guilty of hideous crimes will make the world a better place to live in. Although his father is a dedicated cop, he thinks that the law is not enough to serve justice. One rainy night he found a black book that belongs to one of the Shinigamis. Ryuk, the Death God, introduced himself to Light and explained the rules of the Death Note. Light was able to use the Death Note killing criminals side by side which created a big uproar to the media as well as to the National Police. They find it hard to believe that all of the victims suffered from a common heart attack by mere coincidence. Thus, the emergence of L, a world class detective is necessary. L became Light's smart and clever nemesis. And together, they use they maximized their capabilities to set traps at the expense of risking the lives of many people until they catch each other.

Watching Death Note reminds me of
my Prison Break days where every moment just drives me at the edge of my seat. Only this time, the CGI is just breathtaking. It will be wise to watch the anime before watching the movie to fully understand each character's motives and well, to realize how well the japanese people worked their asses off to create a Ryuk and Rem that perfectly resemble the Shinigamis in the anime. They were able to create a good story plot even with the absence of some characters from the original anime itself. Light's idealisms and beliefs to create a perfect world can be really twisted tho. As Ryuk, claimed, Light fits the profile of a true death god better than him. Honestly.. where do the japs get this good story lines?? I was just amazed. I advise everyone to watch the first movie together with the sequel, LAST NOTE. Although, the last part of the movie is pretty predictable, I'd say they still deserve a solid 4 stars. I didn't give a full 5 stars because I think that they could have done better if they focused a bit more on Ryuk's motives as well. I just find it lousy that the only reason he let some human use this DEATH NOTE was based on the fact that he's just bored. The script also needs improvement, (tho i'm not completely sure about it because I watched it reading english subtitles the whole time) I just think that their lines are as not as powerful as it is in the anime. Nevertheless, Death Note is as ironic and exquisitely crooked that can leave you asking for more.. absorbed by the magnificent feeling of paradox just as you read the ending credits.

DEATH NOTE : THE RULES
  • The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
  • This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
  • If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
  • If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
  • After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
False Rules
  • If the owner of the Death Note does not kill within 13 days of the last entry, he or she will die.
  • If the Death Note is burnt, destroyed, or otherwise damaged in any way, all those who have touched that Death Note will die.

*Fairy tales and Prince Charming*


Well, I'm sure that a typical innocent girl have dreams of a typical knight in shining armor. The one whose ethics are based on the foundation of chivalry and valor. That prince who will always be there to rescue in times of great danger... that one person who will risk his life to slay the dragon or take you away from a cruel step mum and ugly stepsisters who make your life miserable. Then for the sake of happily ever after.. he will let you ride in his white horse as the sun sets romantically in the vast horizon.. so that you can live with him in a beautiful castle where your love will blossom forever....CRAP.

At one point, girls grow up. They will learn that waiting for a prince charming to rescue her like a damsel in distress is really dumb.She will stumble down to a number of princes who are born to make her cry. Here it is in reality.. Snow White did wake up after choking from the evil apple.. she quit her job being the babysitter of the seven dwarfs and soon take her journey to work in a saloon. She worked her ass to afford insurance and realized that being a waitress is not enough to pay the rent and the bills. She worked hard in between two part time jobs to be able to pay for her tuition. She met boys and have sex with them. She buy her own birth control pills. She moves from one place to another as she meets different people. She dated a couple of junkies for fun.. she fell in love with a good guy and left him because he's just too good for her. She makes decisions on her own.. some good.. some bad.. some are just in between. She laughs. She cries. Her soul was shattered. Cracked. But soon she will be fixed again.

This is how it works really. Prince Charming is always a product of our hallucination.. or sometimes a fragment of our imagination. Sometimes they are just in time for our rescue.. sometimes they come way too late. They are creatures who at times, torn between confusion and hatred that needs to be rescued as well. We sometimes look for their horses when in times, they can't really afford one. I read a book once about a girl who was confronted by a prince. He asked her, "Would you like to ride my horse with me? I will bring you to my castle and we will live happily ever after." The girl smiled and replied, "Of course. But you can go ahead, if you want. I'm spending the whole afternoon looking for my own horse. If i find one and you can catch up with me, then I am most happy to see your castle." The prince nodded and whispered to himself, "She's a different one. I will certainly wait for her."

And so.. when the girl finally got a horse, the two rode together in the beautiful sunset and she tortures him.. happily ever after.

This is how a fairy tale should end. So the next time you ask me about Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.. get a hold of yourself. They are so overrated.
