Back To School
So excited for graduate schooling, I almost missed the first class because I really don’t have any idea as to what room my class would be. I did not dare ask any department assistant before the “Sorry, we are closed”-signed glass door. Instead, I got the wrong bulletin which drove to the nearest internet cafe to check my class schedule online. I left the cafe frustrated and tried my luck back inside the campus.
Finally, after roaming the entire building, I met at the elevator my new classmate/friend, whose acquaintance she created during the enrolment period. If she did not get my attention, I could have missed her – in her formal attire to which she referred to as the get-up she was mistaken to be the teacher of the class by the early-bird classmates (?).
Anyway, she told me our unknown teacher is absent on the first day of our class. That relief was a frustration.

P.S. Happy Philippine Independence Day (I almost forgot it’s also Happy Fiesta in Toledo City!)
I am Legend
Despite my friend and her friend’s negative rumors about the movie, I still insisted on watching I am Legend. ‘How come my colleagues were not disappointed?’, I tried to convince them. Since I already watched National Treasure, our choices in the Ayala Cinema were narrowed to two: I am Legend and Bee Movie (luckily, not their type). So, the choice is mine. I just gave them free tickets so they would not feel too disappointed.
Horror Flick
I never thought the movie would terrify me because, in the first place, I always expected the movie to be just plain drama. I had only watched the trailer once, and I never read any reviews so as to avoid any spoilers. My friend’s negative comment (which she based from her other friend’s review) did not influence me. Instead, it made me more want to see the movie in order to verify their conclusions.
Shhh!
The silence, in my personal point of view, is the best suspense element used in the movie (Reminds me of The Others by Nicole Kidman, which is one of my favorite horror movies.). The plot is kind of urban, a new twist in the adaptation from the book (later did I know that the movie was based from a book and has former movie versions). And the actor? Well, I am sure he will be nominated for such an award; the best!
OMG!
My friend was so moved with how the there-is-a-god thing was incorporated into the movie. A valuable lesson there.
Four Thumbs Up
At the end of the movie, I could tell that my friend and her friend (we’re not yet friends, :P) were enjoying the movie. That night was a legend.
