I went on a spontaneous movie trip today (and by that, I mean just a few minutes ago). Menchie employed me to help her on a certain article that she had to hand in to be published in the Samahan newsletter. Being the good friend that I am (ehem) I obliged, and drove to her boarding house (you could congratulate me on the fact that I DID NOT GET LOST WITHOUT A MAP!!! Menchie did!). Upon reaching her place, she just finished the article, which I’ll be editing, and was dressed up, obviously to go out. Anton was there as well, so I guess I kind of figured that they’d be going out, and that I would simply have to get the article, and drive back home right away. But the couple were sooo good that they invited me to watch a movie with them. Upon reaching SM (nag-convoy mi ni Anton. So shall si Anton kay Everest man ang gibitbit! I-kumpara sa akong karaan na sedan bi, luoy kaayo ko, hahaha!!!), we ended up watching Yes Man, with some good old McDo burger and large fries to go. I am not afraid to say that I enjoyed the movie a lot (Jim Carrey’s simply one of my most favorite actors, and I’m starting to develop a special place in my heart for Zooey Deschanel. Can’t wait for 500 Days of Summer!). And that I learned quite a lot from it.

The movie, after a million laughs and unbelievable insanity, all boiled down to one thing: that the best things in life come from simply saying YES! to things that are opportunities, even if they just don’t seem like ops at first. Kumbaga, blessing in the sky bah! The only way you’ll discover things as blessings is if you said yes to doing things that are within logical and feasible limits.

I think I’ll be trying to say yes more often. I’ve been used so much to the idea that you have to say no sometimes, that I have ended up saying no most of the time. And the most recent yes that I have said was, unavoidably, to myself. After the movie, I decided to leave the lovebirds alone. After some insane self-arguments, I am now at Karl’s Koffee Korner, and I’m semi-enjoying the place.

Since I’m enjoying the internet here for a limited time (this is one of the major cons of the place by the way), I’ll give you the pros and cons of the place.

PROS:

- OK ambiance. Ample lighting and good furniture.

- OK music. No bossa crap, but they did play that stupid “Teardrops on my Guitar” song. Plus some of their employees were singing like drunk bastards (an understatement, by the way). You could hear their singing competing with the sound system of the place!!! NOHOOO!!!

- OK food. Obviously, they purchased the desserts from someplace else, but good choice nonetheless.

CONS

- I don’t get the theme of the place

- Limited internet!!! WHY?!?!?! One hour?!?!?! That’s freaking unfair!!!

- Too much gelatin in their iced coffee thing. I almost choked. I think I have to learn how to chew my coffee. CHEW COFFEE!!!

Yeah… I think my hour of internet’s almost over. So here’s a photo of me looking like a skeptic-cynic.

Yes to some Photo Booth loving!!! I’m SOOOOO HAPPYYYYY!!!
