k bye

So I finally had my ears checked by an EENT specialist. For a while I've been suffering from mild deafness. At first, it was just my left ear and then my right ear went about two months ago. It took me this long because I'm a lazy idiot. The first thing the doctor asked me was whether or not I'm suffering from a cold. I'm like, my problem is with my ears, why are you asking me about my nose? I've got sinusitis, or so I thought. It turns out it's allergic rhinitis -- I am extremely allergic to dust and animal hairs. So all my life I've grown up with pets and all my life I've suffered from a stuffy nose. No small wonder. I am allergic. And here I thought I was ridiculously healthy. Long story short, I can hear crystal now -- as in, if I turn on the faucet, I can almost hear each individual water drop. So cool.

In other news, I should tell you that I rarely get worked up over things. If I do, I usually keep my mouth shut. See, there's no use talking about it and getting all in a temper when the thing you're worked up about is out of your hands. But even my general apathy has its limits.

Yo, stupid MARINA people. The problem is not whether our ships have the latest in GPS technology. No matter how good the technology is, no matter how state of the art, if the captain and his equally idiotic crewmen cannot follow simple rules of the road, SHIT WILL HIT THE FAN. Get that?

Now, for another --

GSIS, no one is falling for your crap. If what you're experiencing now is really a technical problem, how come it's run on for months and months? Not even the most devastating computer glitches can last that long. The hardest part about fixing something is troubleshooting. So you know the problem, now FIX IT! And don't give us more crap about having "temporary and permanent solutions." Really? Temporary and permanent? I've never heard of anything more preposterous.

K, bye.

I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night

THE OLD ASTRONOMER. - Sarah Williams R EACH me down my Tycho Brahé,—I would know him when we meet, When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet; He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how We are working to completion, working on from then till now. Pray, remember, that I leave you all my theory complete, Lacking only certain data, for your adding, as is meet; And remember, men will scorn it, 'tis original and true, And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you. But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learnt the worth of scorn; You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn; What, for us, are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles? What, for us, the goddess Pleasure, with her meretricious wiles? You may tell that German college that their honour comes too late. But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate; Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the s...

Moview Review: The Lady Shogun and Her Men

I've heard about this story for sometime now. The Japanese title is Ooku , which refers to the chamber in the shogun's castle where all the women of the shogun's harem are kept. However, Yoshinaga Fumi's manga, on which this movie is adapted, adds a twist: the shogun is a woman and beautiful men fill her harem. THE STORY In the year 1716 Japan, most of the men have died from a deadly disease that only affects men, resulting in their population dwindling to as much as 1/4 of the total population of women. Consequently, women fill in the traditional roles of men, performing hard labor, managing businesses and running government while men are pampered, protected and allowed only to indulge in light entertainment. In this nonexistent Japan lives Mizuno Yunoshin (Kazunari Ninomiya), a teenager from an impoverished samurai class family. He likes fencing and his childhood friend, O-Nobu (Horikita Maki), but because of his family's financial status (O-Nobu is a daugh...

Movie Review: In The Mood for Love

So I finally got around to watching this movie. I’ve always wanted to ever since I saw 2046 , which got its hype from the fact that it starred both Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li , two of China‘s hottest international stars. But ultimately for me, it was Tony Leung ’s performance that pulled the movie through. His and Wong Kar-wai ’s genius for film-making. Indeed, where else can you find an entire reel of film devoted to wisps of swirling cigarette smoke? Or of five seconds of the camera gazing at a hand splayed on the banister of a hotel stairway? I’ve seen movies that use the camera as an effective tool to create mood or dynamism but I have never seen it used as part of the senses quite like in Wong’s movies. To Wong Kar-wai, the camera is his eye, nose, ears and hands, and by extension, ours . Imagine yourself coming upon a room for the first time and finding yourself noticing, not the room in perspective, but the details, the tiny everyday things that seem mundane and insignificant, ...
