Fast ramble on Metallica before anything else: I just adored that MTV icon presentation last night, and well, though I cringe at Avril Lavigne's self-proclaimed rock chick status, her cover of Fuel was pretty good. Korn was fabulous as usual, but Snoop Dog doing Sad but True? Awkwardly terrible, but Lars gave the guy a standing ovation so hmm, maybe he wasn't that awful. New bassist Rob Trujillo, who reminded me of Chief Powhatan, was obviously passionate with the music, what with his semi-sitting, semi-jumping stints, but I missed Jason Newsted! Demigod James Hetfield kept me from cooking rice because I just didn't want to miss his legendary growls in the latter part of the show. Ma scolded me for that, my father defended me, Ma won so I ended up in the kitchen after all. Bummer. But then this night my papa, uncle and I watched the S&M concert for the umpteenth time, and I had to clap upon hearing Hero of the Day, Enter Sandman, and No Leaf Clover all over again. I've never outgrown my love for those songs. All out salute for Metallica!

Uhm, that's enough. Hehe.

So far, so almost good. I've been reviving my wheezing recreational activities, which were somehow on a standstill because of internship, among other things. This afternoon, for one, I went out with my brothers and watched Matrix Reloaded, and considering I have not watched the previous Matrix movie, I loved it. So I actually cried before the movie started ( god I'm such a sickly sap), but Keannu in his black attire wiped my tears. Haha. Anyway, I forgot all about my Film 100 along with the appropriate film jargons, so to simply put, the movie was wholly grabbing. Nona of the absolute Matrix fanbase, I want to watch it again with you!

I would have been really in lovelier spirits now had Mark's camera, which we used in the Garfield-Sam moment back in Robinson's Galleria, functioned like any normal cameras do. Turned out that the flash was busted so there wasn't any tangible memento of the sensational Sam posing alongside the not-quite-Garfield-lookalike Garfield mascot. My frustration was unimaginable. It was the only time I had a bigger Garfield beside me, and fate messed up with that. Only four shots were developed successfully, and two of them were shots of our stoic sari-sari store. Armie consoled me by promising that she would take a picture of me and that Garfield statue in Characters Unlimited, Ali Mall branch. Hay. Okay, that would have to do. Unless, of course, someone flies me to Indiana this June 19 for my more authentic Garfield ;)

I don't know how to end this random of an entry, really, so I'll just plug away! Trisha(who is baaaack!), Anna, Ate Jannie, Vinz, Ederic, Bets, Mish, Gel, Glenn. There. Goodnight :)
