Post-Vacation Post

Around twelve hours from now, I'll be sitting inside a classroom listening to my Biology professor.

I'm not going to rant and tell you about how packed my schedule is, considering I have three laboratory classes. I'm not going to tell you how I'll miss Facebook or movie marathons or mall-hopping or 12 hours of sleep or this and that. Instead, I will tell you happy things. I will tell you of the things that happened during my 2-week long vacation.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

I read about this when I was in elementary. Until now, it still gives me a heavy feeling after. I think the story is serious and grave. Is this movie meant for kids? Even I was crept out. But still, AWESOME GRAPHICS. The movie would be so much better had I watched it in 3D.

THE BACKUP PLAN

It seems like the movie was forced to have a conflict.

SPOILER: Zoe, determined to have a child but has not yet found the right one, had herself inseminated. She got pregnant then fell in love with Stan. Stan, after Zoe explained her backup plan, gets confused but still decided to continue his relationship with Zoe and father the baby. (Which was oh-so sweet) They were confronted with a question one day that says something like, "You have a baby?" Stan answers, "No, it's not mine" BUT he immediately takes it back and says, "Yes, we have a baby." Or something close to those lines.

END OF SPOILER

The conflict? Zoe broke up with Stan just because of some lame choice of words. Still, it entertained me for a while.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS

The movie was...cute.

This is the story of Flint Lockwood, a nerd an inventor who turns water in clouds into food - burgers, ice cream, steaks, jellybeans, pancakes, you name it. The part where Flint finds a love interest in Sam Sparks (who, BTW, is also a nerd) is really, really cute. :3 Baby Brent was really annoying when he takes off his clothes and goes "Uh-oh" at first, but I've grown used to it. Now I find it really funny, lol.

PLANET 51

The concept of an astronaut landing on a different planet and finds himself the alien in that planet? It was okay. A bit boring but Chuck Baker (the astronaut) was cute, plus, he has Dwayne Johnson's voice.

RUMOR HAS IT

So like high school. No, the protagonist is not some teenage girl who gets bullied by mean girls but gets the jock everyone's dying to have. For some reasons, this movie reminded me of my high school days. Though the "rumor" started from a teenage girl who...no, I'll stop here. Well, the rumor was actually true. It became a book then it had a film adaptation. It's really complicated so just watch it.

For those who have watched it, Beau Burroughs has now a different meaning for me. He has become a legend. A person who has a fetish for patterns.

WISHING STAIRS

It's a Korean horror movie. Legend says that if you climb the 28 steps leading to the dormitory counting aloud and you find a 29^th step, you can make a wish and it shall be granted. Like any other horror movies, I had fun scaring my sisters. >:)

SHUTTER ISLAND

Watch it. And think about it. Just don't get insane, okay?

PRACTICAL MAGIC

Entertaining and magical.

"You ever put your arms out and spin really, really fast? Well, that's what love is like. It makes your heart race. It turns the world upside down. But if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. You can't see what's happening to the people around you. You can't see that you're about to fall."

-Gillian Owens

THE LOVELY BONES

Awesome. Why? It's Peter Jackson.

Thank you, people who suggested movies. I'll be watching the rest of the movies you suggested on the term break, Christmas break, summer, the next term break...I have lots of time. So suggestions are still accepted. :)
