Filipinos are crazy, coz' we have a crazy weather
It’s mid-June 2006…whew time do really ticks a bit too fast nowadays. I remember on this same period back in 1985 I was just 6 then and was experiencing a nightmare on my first day of school. It’s a long story though and I don’t want to drag that point of my life after 20 years. C’mon gimme a break!
I am already 26 years old, single, and work like a carabao in the other business district of the country called
Anyway, the good thing is I am FORCE to right a blog about senseless topic! Cool, so just rock on \m/ peeps…hehehe
It’s exactly
Last weekend, we were able to see the movie OMEN, and heck the kid is scary and reminds me so much of a childhood friend particularly the hair. While the angry look of the kid’s eyes reminds me of my former boss and my current officemates hehehe. The story is good but I am keen to find out if there would be a sequel which I think meron dapat kasi bitin kaya yung movie parang “Bakit Bughaw ang Langit” a 1981 film ni Ate Guy…Yucky baduy :P
