seeing the seasons turn, turn, turn...

top 4 stuff to watch on dvd:
1. the first season of that much-heard-about drama series, THE OC
2. that controversial french(?) film of 2004, IRREVERSIBLE
3. the most elusive film at ACA VIDEO this year, MEMENTO
4. the much-gushed-about REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

thank god i have some time in my hands to watch those thingies. but i'm kinda sad, too, that the time i'd spend away from work would be time i'd spend away from the stuff that somekinda matter, as well.

like money. haha.

i'm kinda sad, too, that changes have led to the demise of some people from the show. sigh. people come and go. these are the people i've grown accustomed to seeing every single gawddang working day in the past few months. some of them i've come to see as friends. today the editing rooms seemed eeringly empty. i miss the daily hustle and bustle, the changing shifts and the click-clack of keyboards in the preview rooms. the silence will take a little getting used to.

wish i could get to see at least three of the cinemalaya films. and the short film blood bank. wish wish wish.

the show has taken almost a year from my life and god knows what it's pushed me to go through in the dreariest hours, but you gotta love it anyway. you can't wait for it to over and yet you somehow grow glum when you actually think of getting through the final episode. waaah.

well, for the next several weeks might as well make the most of it. and stop being such a sentimentalizing gook. cheer up you silly beeyatch, we have several more loventures ahead, still. so save the ta-ta's for later.

something tells me i'm going to the states next year. on business, most probably, but still. wish wish wish!

on a blither note, i'm pleased about the show's new format. from this perspective it's a happy change--goodbye time codes! goodbye bloody dreary hours in the polar regions! goodbye transcriptions! and yezzzz, hello to bright possibilities of a social life (haha as if...)!

what will you be doing one year from now, my dear exupery? now i'm realizing that the day would come when a lot would be missed. everything has a shelf life. quasi-friendships included.
