I haven’t been blogging much again. But let me go back to these past three weeks or so that I’ve been through. So much has happened. (I’m going in reverse chronology, OK?)

“We always have a choice. We can always choose to do what’s right.” – Peter Parker

SPIDERMAN 3. Among all other superheroes, I find Peter Parker/Spiderman the most normal. He’s someone probably most of us can definitely relate to. We watched Spiderman 3 on opening day.  I still find it unlike any other superhero movie, at least not for me. The villains almost always have some inner goodness and are just consumed by power. However, using MJ as hostage has become too redundant! And why did Harry Osborn have to die? (James Franco is sooo cute.  I could stare at him smiling all day.) The first time I saw Topher Grace in In Good Company probably some two years back, I thought he looked so much like Tobey Maguire. And now he got to play Spidey’s evil twin. I caught a feature on Spiderman 3 on either Entertainment Tonight or Inside Edition saying this is the most expensive film ever made. It didn’t seem like it. =/ Nevertheless, Spidey will forever be my favorite superhero. *… and I happen to love the black Spidey outfit.*

REUNIONS.

1. Our college friend Pei San came over to Bacolod for a few days’ vacation, so we had a small get-together at Imay’s with Karla, Sherry, Ralph and April. Mark arrived later. While exchanging stories after lunch, some of us received shocking news through SMS from Dan—a classmate of ours, Remus, has passed away early morning of May 1st. We couldn’t help but feel saddened by the loss of a person, so young and with so much to give. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
2. Another friend of ours, Mae Hope, had come home for her younger sister’s graduation and we got to hang out one Monday (I can’t keep track of the dates, sorry!). Karla was supposed to join us; she only had lunch with us since her father had appointed her as the official driver while her older sister was away. So, Mae and I decided to spend some hours at Café Bob’s where we talked about her (and my?) love life—rather, the lack of. *Right, we’re getting there… one step at a time.*
3. I believe it was April 15th. We had a small reunion at Business Inn with my college class (COMI4A 2004). Mayeth and Lala had come home for the summer, and we thought it would be great if we could get together once again. So there we were for dinner at Business Inn and margarita at East Block. Okay, I’m a bit tired now so you can go ahead visit my Picasa album. (Having been to these small reunions reminds me how fun it was back in college, when we had lesser cares and responsibilities than we have now. Looking back now, despite having aged three years since graduation, most of us are still the same people we’ve known all these years. The same, at the same time, different. I’d like to say we’ve all matured, but there will always be that kid in us. Very much alive.

PRISON BREAK. I’ve managed to finish season 2, finally. I can’t wait till the third season. My mom keeps bugging me when the next season begins. Despite all the redundant twists and turns (I have a thing for redundancy these days =P), I am still hooked with the series. Paul Kim: I hate how he smiles. I hate how he speaks. I hate how he manipulates. I simply hate him for what he is. Good riddance!

FOOTBALL. I’m disappointed that Solar Sports doesn’t air (as far as I know) live Barça games anymore, and I would have to constantly look up the schedule to watch the replays. These days I’ve been quite preoccupied that when the replays do air on TV, I would not be around to watch it. But I am happy that Barça has managed to remain on top of the league most of the season. Why wouldn’t they? After all, they’re the best team in the league. And yayness, Ronaldinho is staying with them until 2010.

Have you had enough yet? I have, yet I still have so much to tell. Maybe some other time. *mwah*
