i'm over here at andrea's house right now. what was meant to be a day of watching movies and hanging out turned to be a night for a sleepover... eheh. my cellphone line got cut since i failed to pay for ny five grand bill on time. oh well. tough... so i can't contact my dad and ask him to pick me up so here i am... spending the night over :)

anyway, i have FINALLY seen the Passion of Christ, albeit through a pirated VCD copy. this film has been warped in hype ever since any word of it came out... snippets of the supposed morbidity, gore and life-altering effects of the movie did not fail to reach my expectant ears and so i have eagerly anticipated the moment when i would finally be able to see the film for myself since people say there has been nothing like it before and that the mere experience of being able to see it for oneself is in itself an experience (huh? darn... i'm rambling). so anyway, the film. mel gibson's directorial debut was superb. my goodness, the film elicited such a profound effect on me, so much so that i could not discern whjat it is i wanted to do more, cry, shout expletives at those ignoramic pharisees or simply re-evaluate my christological perspectives.

in the end, i ended up doing all of it. words fail to explain just how magnificent the film is. hard hitting would be an apt adjective for it. i'm sure anyone who'd go and see it would definitely find something in it that would trigger some soprt of fancy within him. it's coming out in manila on march 31 if i'm not mistaken, and i'm sure everyone's gonna go rush to the nearest cinemas to see for themselves what all the hype is about. it most certainly is worth every centavo one might shell out for the movie. see it.

anyway, i'm just checking in since i haven't blogged for a while and actually, this is the first time i have ever blogged from a friend's house. peculiar. anyway, i had my last final exam today! woohoo i'm free! for two weeks anyway... by april 14, i'm back to the wonderful world of school... summer school, that is. my course requires that i take them. so anyway, you guys enjoy your well-deserved breaks... relish them enough for the both of us ;p happy summer!
