I just watched The King’s Speech a few days ago. Ever since the list of nominations came out for both the SAG Awards and The Golden Globes, this was one of the few movies I really wanted to catch, together with The Black Swan. Colin Firth has been one of my favorite actors, I still can remember his fantastic performance in last year’s A Single Man, so there was no way I’m missing The King’s Speech.



As expected, Colin Firth was superb. They way he was able to express his character’s angst and frustration, both through acting and delivery were amazing. His Golden Globe was well deserved, and I believe he will also win the SAG awards, as well as the Oscars (that is if Christian Bale will be nominated as supporting actor for The Fighter). If the Academy decides to put Christian Bale in the Best Actor race, then I think he’s the only one who can snatch the Academy award from Colin.

Other than Colin, there were a couple of notable things to watch out for in this movie - shots, lighting and directing. Tom Hooper did an excellent job in all these aspects. He had scenes that had beautiful composition and framing, lighting that added so much drama that acting sometimes took a back seat.

I fell in love with Tom Hooper when I started seeing scenes like this:



I loved how he framed most of his shots. Not the usual.



And the lighting, like here in this scene:



which was one of the turning points in the movie. It was beautiful.

I particularly loved also how he framed this shot:



It was like looking at a painting.

Anyway, I can go on and on and on and paste more screencaps but I won’t. Especially for you who hasn’t seen it yet.

So grab a copy, or go see it in the cinemas (if there’s one showing near you). It’s definitely a must watch!

MJ is 28 years old. He’s caramel-smooth with moist lips, a winning smile and the firmest midsection I’ve ever slipped my hands under a shirt for. The club was crowded, I was drunk, the DJ had exhausted his arsenal of Rihanna, and I saw him looking at me, and I zigzagged over to say thank you, because it sounded sensible.

One kiss later he was offering me a ride home, even though he lived just 10 minutes away, compared to my 30. He wanted to be an astronaut years ago. Something about heavenly bodies. Speaking of which, the sun was rising outside and the only things taunter than my nerves at possibly getting caught on a stolen night out were- the seats of our pants. Nothing happened; we were speeding, talking about NASA and cinematography.

I may or may not ever see him again, but I’d love to in many, many ways.

I know he is just a phone call away, and I know that he will talk to me if I asked him to. However, I cannot help but miss the days when he would be more than eager to talk to me, respond to my messages, and meet me whenever. He used to be crazy about me, even to the point of crying over it.

Things are different now, and I blame myself mostly for the change in the set-up. We still see each other, yes, but, most of the time, I feel like we are meeting just so I wouldn’t feel awful. I feel like I’m forcing myself to him, and it does not feel good feeling unwanted. I don’t see him excited anymore, and he definitely does not have fun with me at all. It’s debilitating to know that I have become dead weight to him.

I acknowledge the fact that I have not been the most fun person to be around for the last few weeks. I really wish I were, and God knows I have been bending over backwards to be everything for him. I have done things I would never do in my life just so we could spend time together. I have also forgone nearly all my priorities just so I can accommodate his prirorities. However, I know that this has taken its toll on me being exciting and thrilling enough for him. Someone who is always available and dependable will inevitably become predictable and boring. Therein lies my predicament.

To be fair, I know that he has been doing his fair share of keeping me around and not dumping me out of sheer boredom. I know that he invites me to be with him inspite of all the fun he forgoes when I am around. He has been nothing short of thankful for everything we have been through together. In fact, I feel blessed that he has let me take care of him in ways only someone ridiculously in love can do. For the most part, I know he only humours me when I take care of him. We both know he can take care of himself, and would rather do so, but he lets me do it because he knows it makes me incomparably happy being there for his needs.

I just miss the days when he used to like me like crazy. I used to get him giddy, and I used to make him think of hugging me when he was hugging pillows. It is so sad when the attraction has faded, and my value has significantly decreased. I wish I could offer more, and I am trying my very best to do so. I wish I could be everything he needs just so he can look at me again and he can feel an attraction similar to what he had for me before.

I guess this entry comes mostly from a fear of losing him. I know that it would only take a little argument or some other interesting person for him to find me completely irrelevant and uninteresting. I cannot help but feel that the only reason I am still around is because he feels like he owes me for helping him out. While I am grateful for him letting me stick around, I would want that to be motivated by an interested desire to be with me. I would want him to want to be with me, not just because he feels like he owes me.

My horoscope today told me to be wary of my romantic ties. “Relationship issues are clouding your mood. Get some space off by yourself today.” I guess the stars have aligned to tick me off into depression today.

para tayong domino. nagfall ako sayo. nag fall ka naman sa iba

Alam mo kung alak ka lang, ang laki ng matitipid ko sa inuman sayo. Kasi tinitignan pa lang kita, tinatamaan na ako

Bakit ganun yung facebook? tanong ng tanong what’s on your mind eh ikaw lang naman nasa isip ko! hindi naman kita pwede i-share.

Bagyo ka ba? Kasi the moment you left my area of responsibility, you left my heart in a state of calamity.
