- What U Doin: watching 50 TV Phrases
Hmm.. so i had - finally - a long weekend and i really didn't do anything other than sit at home, sleep and watch TV. That's prolly the longest time I've stayed at home doing nothing. Ok ok - i did some house chores such as cleaning and cooking. But other than those two - nada. I only went out thrice - one was a trip upstate to picked up my new phone, another to go watch Angels and Demons and lastly - to go to get some produce. I did go out and run but that doesn't involved driving anywhere.
As I stated previously, I got a new phone. I only got it as an advance birthday gift to myself and since the number 5 key on my previous phone is acting up already (too much texting). I got a Nokia 7510 supernova phone. I wanted the intrigue but it was only being introduced - as of yesterday - for a certain provider. So I settled for the 7510. I was supposed to have gotten it last wednesday but i keep on missing the FedEx delivery. And since they cannot estimate their delivery time, I was playing cat and mouse with the delivery van. I went home every lunch time but they would deliver it later. Then on their final attempt, I went home late only for them to come at an earlier time. Geez, so I had to drive 102 miles round trip on saturday just to pick my phone up. Was it worth it? Most definitely. It surely an upgrade to what I use to have and its my first flip-phone. It surely an improvement on Nokia part as well. Of course I locked myself out of it that night but was able to unlock myself the next day (happens to me all the time). The only thing was moving my addressbook to the new phone - a little nuisance but it was alright at the end.
I finally had a chance to watch Angels and Demons yesterday after watching the Angels and Demons special on the History Channel. To those who don't know, Angels and Demons is a Dan Brown's novel about Illuminati - a secret society of scientist who planned to destroy religion by destroying the seat of it - Vatican City - during the time of Conclave. And its the prequel to the Da Vinci Code. The Illuminati stole antimatter - the particle that was the basis of the creation - from CERN Institute (which is a real scientific research institute) and planned to used it to eradicate Vatican City to revenge what the church has done to them. So the Vatican asked the help of Harvard professor Robert Langdon (played by Tom Hanks) - a well-known symboligist - to figure out the path of illumination which would lead them to the whereabouts of the bomb. I would say that it is better than Da Vinci Code in the sense that its more visual, the story line wasn't dragged as much as Da Vinci and had more action sequence. Since they weren't allowed to film in Vatican - they had to create most of the backdrops and they were stunning - almost the real thing. The action sequence were thrilling and would keep you slightly off your seat. The characters played their parts superbly. I would highly recommend this film.
Anyway, the only bad thing about a long weekend is the stack of work thats waiting for you when you come in. Ayyyy - I was busy even during my lunch break that my brain didn't have time to just relax and unwind. Oh well, good thing working out doesn't need a lot of brain power. hahaha
Have a good night everyone!
