There's no secret ingredient.

It feels so warm and cozy to be in my room right now. - I just can't stop, I just can't stop. WOOHOO.

There's just something about the rainy season that warms me up on the insides... well that, and literally. It gives me time to make up for my sleep deprivation, take in more liquid (an excuse to daaahaaayyeeet), bum and watch movies and soaps and READ BOOOOOOOKS! [of course all while getting my work done.] Oh it is love. It's a time for me to get in touch with my other self on the flipside. HAHAHA. :)

Happiness in the raaain - well minus the torrential rains, uprooted trees, power disruption and sinking ships. :|

Yesterday, Sis and I decided to make the most out of our Saturday after-class-time-we're-not-going-out-tonight-anyway vow by watching a movie in Rockwell after a brief HR meeting for CoSA (haha. Just helping out. My heart belongs to PR.) Plus I wanted to buy my stash of CDs (I wanted the Garfield printed ones) but I only found ordinary CDs in Office Warehouse. We didn't have time to look anymore since the movie was about to start.

Well what can we say? KUNG FU PANDA IS LOOOVE. :D

It's been sooo long since I watched an animated movie since... errr. Shrek? Well I really can't remember. I've been hearing a lot of feedbacks from my friends and I've seen the trailer a few times already so I decided that I wanted to see it for myself. Thus, one random space out moment during Marketing class I asked Laine, "Sis, are you doing anything later? You wanna watch Kung Fu Panda?" HAHAHA. And then off we went.

At first we were supposed to see Sex and the City - poor soul hasn't seen the movie yet. But it was a bit traffic on the way to Makati so we weren't able to make the 4:40 screening. After a quick round of shopping, sandwiches from Oliver's, a BTB big bucket and an upsized drink of orange juice, it was a quality girls evening date and I looooove it. :D

The movie was extremely hilarious - or that may be an understatement. Laine and I spent 80% of the time laughing and rocking so hard in our seats. It wasn't your typical animated movie with a super kid-friendly plot and a delicate storyline. It was designed to fit a general audience's taste (well, we were mostly with families in the moviehouse) regardless of whether you're a fan of cartoons or not. The well-blended punchlines, facial expressions and signature Po moves contributed to the humor of the movie. The setting had a really inspiring touch to it - quotable quotes were said from time to time and at some point in the story, we thought the animals were so emo because of all the sentimentality their relationships with one another had. The animation seemed so real that it stressed its difference with the cartoons of yesteryears. And to top it all off, a huge amount of the success can be attributed to the very talented pool of voices behind the amazing characters: Po - Jack Black, Master Shifu - Dustin Hoffman, Tai Lung - Ian McShane, Tigress - Angelina Jolie, Monkey - Jackie Chan, Mantis - Seth Rogen, Crane - David Cross, Viper - Lucy Liu and Master Oogway - Randall Duk Kim.

If you're a fun of dumplings, Jack Black's shcadooshh, hot voices, pigs, rabbits and all sorts of animals, then IT'S A MUST SEE. :) It's a happy ending like no other.

The past is history and the future is a mystery. That's why there's only now which is a gift, that's why it's called the present. Kung Fu Panda - where dumplings and noodles mean more than Chinese favorites. HAHAHAHA. :)

It feels so great to reward oneself after a week's hard work. And before I obsess myself with thoughts about shopping and guy-missing (*cough*cough*) I think I'll go out of my room for a while.

I'm off to bury myself in my books or find something interesting on TV to watch. No classes for us tomorrow because the rest of the world is a water work out there.
