Of Sex Scandals, Movies and Jumbo Mumbo Mixture of Unfinished yet formulated posts.

This post is a summary or a formulation of different posts that I wasn't able to translate from brain to PC. Let me just say I am overworked these days and I am used to eating only one decent meal a day, and this means chomping down in a rush, without pleasure but the purpose of replacing the body of fuel to keep you going when your EQ wants you to collapse. Yeah blame it on internship.

As much as I wanted to watch movies these days, the body automatically magnetizes to the bed and a planned one hour nap turns into a 5 hour sometimes an 8 hour sleep. I've been wanting to watch "Pineapple Express" for a month now but I always end up sleeping or FaceBooking, or trying to finish reading "The Jane Austen Book Club", which is really light fiction fare but right now after almost three weeks in counting I'm about to reach halfway. Sleep is indeed luxury. So far these are the movies I've been wanting to see but sorely missed: Wolverine, Angels and Demons, Star Trek (and I don't even know about this phenomenon but I've wanted to watch), He's Just Not That Into You, I'll prolly watch next weekend or this Saturday just to break the spell.

Pacman pulverized the cocky Brit Hatton in 2 rounds? And to think most people paid quite a hefty sum with so much anticipation that this will be an exciting match. As it turns out a right blow to the jaw is all it required. Once again the Filipino people was on a stand still except maybe me. During that time I was making progress notes for my ENT patients. I was probably one of the 5% in the archipelago moving around not sitting in front of a TV set.

Sex videos are no big deal actually. Not unless they are scattered for the whole wide web to see. I mean I understand why some get a kick out of it but if you have a couple of those just keep 'em hidden for the sake of your dignity. Hayden Kho has got to be part exhibitionist, part maniac but 100% with some form of undiagnosed compulsion. Sex addicted anyone? Well I feel sorry for Katrina Halili and those involved. The moral of the story is keep your kinky fetishes to yourself. Kidding aside, I think this is an eye opener for the country to develop laws on privacy and online copyright properties. Censorship at the same time regulates yet suppresses. It's hard to find a balance to maintain our essential human rights without tampering on our creativity and expression.

Kris Allen's win in American Idol has got to be the most predictable upset in the show's history. I've been rooting for Adam Lambert since Day 1 but when the final two was announced I started to have an intuition that Kris Allen, the underdog, charming nice guy and run past Adam Lambert. It did happened. I know compared to Adam, Kris voice is so-so. But he did have a couple of moments, from his version of "Ain't no Sunshine" and my favorite "Falling Slowly"from the movie "Once". He's also likable. But don't get me started on Adam from his personality his banshee scream and I'm not yet even talking about the performances. Black or White. Ring of Fire. Mad World. If I Can't Have You. Crying. Adam is one enigmatic person.

A month ago I was so happy that I was finally able to buy a book, a biography about James Dean. I've been looking for 5 years already and thanks to BookSale, the best place for books. I also bought Case Histories by Kate Atkinson and Night Trilogy by Elie Wiesel. I also bought Candide by Voltaire from National at 99. And Frankenstein Vintage published for 99. I love cheap books!

Can't wait for May to be over.. really stressful month.
