Okay, after whiling away for a few weeks (or is it months now?), I’ve decided to jot down something here. I am leaving my thoughts on the Ultra tragedy for my column and the other blog. My better judgment tells me not to write about my recent bouts with insanity and dreariness. I’m leaving that subject for my crappy poems. Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.

Well, since my last post I’ve decided to be a total slut over bad boy images. First, there’s Ryan Atwood of The O.C. played by actor Benjamin Mckenzie, who looks like a young version of Russel Crowe (another bad boy I absolutely adore). My life has been reduced to The O.C. reruns airing Tuesday nights on Star World. For those who aren’t into the show, The O.C. chronicles the lives of rich, young snobs from the posh town of Orange County in California. The O.C. depicts how being thin as Marissa Cooper or rich as Seth Cohen does not spell a perfect life. As if I still needed to be reminded of life’s imperfections. But still, I feel a sense of triumph watching these gorgeous characters live their imperfect lives. Benjamin Mckenzie is just too cute to watch, sporting his wifebeater and those puppy dog eyes.

Yesterday, I bought 64 VCDs of the defunct tv series Felicity seasons 1, 2 and 3. I was ecstatic to relive my favorite college, coming of age drama.

Nung college pa ko, my friends and I would go to George’s house to watch Felicity on Thursdays. We’d swoon over Scott Speedman a.k.a Ben Covington. There was something about Felicity that really drew us in. Naalala ko tuloy ang magic ng college life, ang mga boylets, the blithe, carefree, careless life (*sniff* *sniff*).

Lost na yun. Sa Felicity ko na lang mababalikan.

Lately, napansin kong sobrang naaaliw talaga ako sa mga Asianovelas at mga cute na Korean films. Masarap kasing matawa lang (maiyak minsan) sa mga kakatuwang characters. Kapag nanonood ako ng Asianovelas nabablangko ang isip ko. Napapahinga ako sa bigat ng trabaho, problema ng bansa, problema sa sarili, problema sa pera at ano pang klaseng problemang naimbento.

Last night, I was so bushed I just wanted to drift off to sleep fast. But I couldn’t. Wong Kar-Wai on dvd was calling me, luring me once more to watch his poetry on film. Thanks to Jem who bought me an original dvd copy of Chungking Express (I so love you Jemmy!). I’ve been wanting to have a copy of this movie since seeing it twice back in college. And so, eyes half closed, Ederic and I watched as Takeshi Kaneshiro’s He Qiu-Wu pined for his ex-girlfriend while ingesting thirty expired cans of pineapple.

Can’t really choose what scene I loved best: Qiu Wu jogging to get water out of his system so there would be nothing left for tears (panalo sa kakornihan to!), the cop played by Tony Leung talking to a piece of worn-out rag, Faye (Faye Wong) head banging to the music of Beach Boys (California dreamin….), the Chinese version of the Cranberries’ Dreams blasting from the cd player, the cop catching Faye red handed.
