If I am going to define myself as a person, what would the 15 films be? Here's what I wrote down?


  1. Fish Story
  2. Ghost World
  3. The Hedgehog
  4. Kisapmata
  5. Soy Cuba
  6. Spirited Away
  7. High Fidelity
  8. Easy A
  9. Dazed and Confused
  10. How to Train Your Dragon
  11. Ora Pronobis
  12. Whisper of the Heart
  13. The Godfather I and II
  14. Pan's Labyrinth
  15. punyetang Before series

I'm not sure with the last two. I might also include Totoro, but that's too obvious. Weird that there is no Disney film in the list? I like Beauty and the Beast and Mulan. But I adopted a lot of sensibilities from Mulan and values from The Lion King so they should be in that list too. I also saw Empire Records a lot of times on cable and yeah, that was and important part of my teenage years, even moreso than Almost Famous and Detroit Rock City. I've seen a lot of good films but not really as important to me as the above. If I should revise it:

  • Fish Story
  • Ghost World
  • The Hedgehog
  • Kisapmata
  • Mulan
  • Spirited Away
  • High Fidelity
  • Easy A
  • Dazed and Confused
  • How to Train Your Dragon
  • Ora Pronobis
  • Whisper of the Heart
  • The Godfather I and II
  • Pan's Labyrinth
  • The Lion King
  • Empire Records
  • punyetang Before series

  • Maybe Moonrise Kingdom should also be somewhere there. And if you would consider that Cheese documentary a film. Of course there's the Harry Potter series which is not really as important to me as the books so... And Shake, Rattle, Roll, Halimaw sa Banga, Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara, and Pa-Siyam were all my favorites. Also I'm still afraid of Freddy Krueger. My mom said I used to love ET and Ewoks. And maybe if I'm going to be totally honest I would include Freaky Friday, Parent Trap, and Mean Girls.

    Alien

    Minsan iniisip kong mag-quit na lang, tapos burn bridges. Tamang wala na lang akong pakialam. Ayoko na nitong mga ganitong bagay. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong problema ko pero heto na naman ako sa pangit na mood ko. Ganitong-ganito rin this time last year (o mas malala iyon). Ang bilis ko na namang mainis. Bukod sa wala nang pahinga, nakukulangan ako sa ibinibigay ng lahat ng tao. Hindi yata talaga ako para sa mundong 'to.

    I was going to talk about something then I forgot what. Ever since I stopped reading, I feel like I don't have the right to write anymore. I only talk crap these days and I know I'm not worth reading. 

    I don't wish to become younger but if only things can go back to how there were before. I made more sense then than I do now that I actually have the chance to actualize my visions. I was better dreaming and thinking of things that I could do. I don't have anything to offer this world anymore. I am just a slave to other people trying to build their dreams.

    But maybe I need to learn to be more patient. And maybe it will pay off. Of course there's also the chance that it wouldn't but I can't be bother into thinking that right now, else I will have a serious breakdown. I thought I liked doing this but every time I'm doing it, the only thing I look forward to is getting a break and boy, I don't think I'll be having one anytime soon. And boy, do I want one so badly. My life doesn't even have room for my crazy anymore. And I not being allowed to be crazy is what's been driving me crazy. It's difficult to explain but having to go against your body's will everyday is absolutely exhausting. And so said Sylvia Plath, "I am so busy keeping my head above water that I scarcely know who I am, much less who anyone else is."
