Home Visit

Falling Slowly – Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova (OST – Once)

The training that I have been conducting at work is over. So I applied for a day and a half leave to visit my family in Ilocos. I will be having that trip tonight after work. My last visit was four months ago. I think much has changed. My auntie kept raving how my cousins miss me. Haha, yeah I miss them too. I haven’t shopped for anything to bring home yet. Maybe I won’t, I will just buy some pizza at some fastfood there. I have more than enough to carry already.

So I won’t be around for at least three days. I hope to bring back some good photos during my vacation. I haven’t been posting any photos for the last months so I hope I will have some when I come back.

Run Fat Boy Run

Run Fat Boy Run (from Wikipedia)

It’s about Dennis Doyle from downstairs’ marathon. I shouldn’t have played it an hour past my bed time… Now I am three hours past my bed time. It’s a fun run! Simon Pegg and his tummy is just hilarious. And there’s a mix of love story to it too. Well, it’s I think more of a love story but what kept me watching was the idea that in the next few seconds there’s always something to laugh about. One picture I still remember was Jake’s (Doyle’s son) face when Libby’s (Doyle’s supposed wife but he left her at the altar on their wedding day — and she was pregnant then — yeah, really big, showing tummy pregnant) smug fiance was giving his “It’s-not-what-it-looks-like” speech in defense of his tripping Doyle during the race. I would have put a screen cap up but I am just too lazy to do that now. Just watch it! I think chicks are gonna love this movie too. Who wouldn’t want to see a movie with the lines “I did a stupid stupid thing, but it was only because I thought spoiling your day was better than ruining your life. Does that make any sense?” — Doyle talking to Libby, referring to why he ran away on their wedding day.

Hey, are there any more Simon Pegg movies there? I have Shaun of the Dead but I haven’t watched it yet. I’d google “Simon Pegg movies” but I am just too lazy to do that now. See. I am so lazy that I had to reuse my phrases.
