coffee-sipping thoughts

i realize that if i do have a daughter in this lifetime, i might name her "Summer". too American-sounding, i know, but it evokes beautiful images in my mind when i hear it. and to marry those images with that of the Feminine all the more makes it perfect.

i'm amused, though, thinking how the name might sound (SA-MER, with the crisp RRRR at the end), coming from Pinoy tongues.

gloomy cloudy comfy day. it's two days to go before packup time. i have some time in my hands (for another moneymaking "racket", maybe?) before i embark on a very special personal project.

and in the middle of that, the holidays. hay. equates to spending. not that i'm a spendthrift (ha! far from it), but i've since realized that i do want to keep my savings account stable for as long as i can. after all, an important reason why you work is to earn money. not the most important reason, but important nonetheless.

for the first time in my working life, i'm actually thinking of saving up. haha!

i browse back to old pictures and remember the Frog Princess. my, my that face. some tastes are acquired, but some have been there since the day you were born. despite everything else, i think that nasty little "heartbreaker" will still always be my prototype for the Ideal Guy. i get a heart-tug each time i see that face.

damn.

some people you want to hate so much but can't. frustrating lot in life.

i wonder if he's in some island paradise by now, flirting with the local boys. haha! (i don't think so, suplado yun e) i don't really care anymore, but one can't help but wonder every once in a while.

two days to go. numinoo-minoo. got dvds to watch, bought from a recent trek to quiapo:

- la petite lili (it was shown at the 2004 French Film Festival in Greenbelt. the interesting poster had intrigued me then, but somehow i managed to miss the screening)

- dogville (one of my favorite movies of all time)

- before sunset and before sunrise, back to back (it seems that everybody's seen these flicks except me!)

- the constant gardener (friend rose was recommending it when it had its metro manila runs a few months ago)

- history of violence (friend michiko was recommending this as well)

- the exorcism of emily rose (missed it on theaters! damn!)

- the stepford wives (ditto with this movie)

two days to go. the whole experience was just too fleeting for me to miss anybody from work. i know i'll be seeing some of them, working with some of them in future projects. even the foreigner co-workers, i might even encounter in the future. who knows? it's a small world. (hey direk! what are you doing here at sundance? heheh) so goodbyes are a bit too soon at this point. it's just the first project, after all.

i'll miss the director's amusing efforts at tagalog-speak, though.

naughty, ha. haha!
