"What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos." Kerry Thornley
Everything is in a state of disarray.
Scattered things all in a heap of organised mess.
It's been a bit hectic since Friday.
I can't find things.
I don't remember where I misplaced them.
But amidst the chaos comes delight.
My sister returned from her working trip to Davao with a pasalubong for me. So I'm happy! =)

Can I just say?
That if you are not really into foreign films then for the love of God please don't watch one.
Seriously!
Yesterday, I was in an empty cinema watching one of the films featured in the Belgian film festival.
Suddenly, someone's cellphone rings and the jerk proceeds to talk at the top of his voice. He narrates to the caller:
"I'm watching a boring film with subtitles. I think it is going to end soon because nothing is happening. It is about this woman whose husband is cheating on her with her sister. She is a martyr for being such a fool."
I swear that is what he said on his cellphone.
Gosh!
If you have nothing better to do with your time, please don't ruin my movie viewing experience. Please don't watch a foreign film. Just to prove to your friends that you are "cultured".
Frankly, you are a rude, uncultured, unrefined human being.
Ok I've said my piece.
I'm off to watch another film with subtitles.
I hope NOBODY ruins it for me, today.

"I invented Post-it"
Ok well I didn't! I was just quoting that hilarious line from the Romy & Michele's High School Reunion movie. But I discovered that you can actually use those cute little yellow notes on your desktop. I mean virtually not literally pasting them on your monitor. Just download the software from their website. You can avail of the free trial version. And voila, you have instant virtual Post-it reminders on your desktop. If you spend all your waking hours on the computer like I do, it is very convenient!

Interesting stuff
Well, at least for me it is.
Now that I'm done with work for this month, I got more time to surf the Internet for websites which won't fry my brain cells. I chanced upon the second Tribeca short film competition sponsored by Amazon.
Check out the past winners of the contest. My favorites are Jihad quite timely for September 11 and Dysenchanted which show that life is no fairy tale even for storybook characters.
If you are into those personality tests that abound online, take this one. I did mine a few months ago and redid it today. My drawing is terrible though but it is all for fun and not to be taken seriously. My results revealed:
You drew the pig toward the middle, you are a realist.
Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays etc)
With many details, you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful.
With 4 legs showing, they are secure, stubborn, and stick to their ideals.
You drew small ears, you are an OK listener
The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life. You drew small tail!
Now if you are in the mood for inane mindless fun, take a look at this one. You do need Quicktime installed to view the clips. Most of them are actors but reading the situations which made them shed tears is funny.

Gifts
Being one of the most indecisive persons on this earth, I have a difficult time coming up with items to give as gifts.
This month I had to find suitable gifts for my father and the son of a good friend.
So far the gift basket for my dad consists of:
1. A DVD of this film.
2. A VCD of the original version of this movie.
3. A Philips shaver.
4. A cute "I LOVE YOU DAD" plaque
5. A jokes booklet "What you didn't know about retirement"
I'm still planning to add more into the basket
Next - a gift for a 1 year old boy.
Toys? What if he harms himself with them?
Coloring Book? His short attention span would lose interest.
Clothes? I don't know his size.
Books? I don't think he can read yet.
A little pillow? What color?
Baby towels? How many?
It was getting late, my feet were killing me and my head was starting to ache so I settled for a mere card. Now I have to decide how much to enclose inside the card.
P200? P500? or P1,000?
