you know, i've visited my blogger page alot of times but i never ended up writing anything. too many distracting conversations all tiring me out for the day (you hear me, carol?).

in my film studies class, the professor shows us short clips of different movies to give us examples of the many concepts she goes over in lecture. this freakin' lady is seriously the biggest teaser! she'll show us like the most interesting movies for like 2 min. and RIGHT when we're about to hit the climax, the pause button is hit, the lights turn back on, and out come the AWWWWWWWs. it makes me so angry b/c these clips are from movies that i've never even heard of! they're fun to watch as a class, but not fun enough to go out and rent on your own. there are even times where she'll just tell us the ending to the movie "just because." F! however, i am still continuing to enjoy this class very much along with my fellow classmates. someday, i'm going to tackle the professor and undo the pause. oh i can hear the applause already. =D

another class i'm taking this quarter is beginning calculus. with math, i was never an A student, but i really appreciate the material. i think it's so amazing how many formulas and theorems are all so organized and work out together. this awesome design and order of numbers in this language we call math...there is no way man could have come up with such a thing. the ideas and theories behind it all is just a glimpse of God's awesomeness.

but speaking of math, don't you just love it when you solve the most difficult problems? you know those crazy word problems (we all hate those stupid word problems) that give you "The Givens" and you have to find "The Unknowns." you have to figure out which formula or equation will work and you struggle with all those inconvenient numbers (why do we have a number like "pie?"). but in the end, we write out that long ugly number and check in the answer book. *gasp* "i got it right! problem #1 done. 50 more to go." but seriously, isn't that like the greatest feeling? it's freakin' rewarding! i think that's one thing i like about math...

another subject that is really rewarding is writing. writing takes up a grip of your time with all that reading and editing and dictionary and thesaurus and office hours. so much time and effort. so much thought and emotion. but when you get that paper back from the professor and see an unexpected A, you are so happy! you almost convince yourself that all those hours were so worth it...almost. yeah, writing is also definitely a rewarding subject. hmmmm, why am i talking about these things?

the other day, me, dykas, and sean went to garden grove to go watch Matrix. "i'm sorry, we're not showing today. it opens tomorrow." then why do you have showtimes on the internet? why do you have the words, "The Matrix" up on your list of movies outside? we had to do SOMETHING for coming all the way to garden grove, so we watched Scary Movie 3. yeap, just as bad as the first two. but you know what? now that i think about it, i think i actually enjoyed this movie more than Matrix Revolutions, which i just saw a few hours ago. ok here it comes...if you don't like hearing critique, particularly from me, right now would be a good time to just skip to the next paragraph. i HATED Matrix Revolutions. right after the movie ended, i couldn't believe how bad it was that i started laughing by myself. i couldn't believe how bad that movie was. to be honest, i think this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life. HARSH i sound right now! not enough fight scenes. the few fight scenes were weak. just a bad bad ending. those clever matrix producers stealing all of our money. a sharp contrast with aaron...

aaron: what'd you think?
me: (trying to be nice). i thought it was ok.
aaron: just ok?
me: did you like it?
aaron: i loved it!
me: (smile).
aaron: the ending was GREAT!
me: (fake smile).

well on the bright side, if you haven't seen the movie yet, you'll be going in with pretty low expectations if you took my words seriously. hopefully, you'll enjoy it much more than i did b/c i honestly believe that out of everyone who's seen it so far, i feel the most indignation. i'm actually happy for people like aaron and in many ways, i wish i could just simply enjoy many movies like him. i think when it comes to movies, i am just one fastidious bastard...well, at least i always share the same opinion with my brother.

today, dykas and i had the girlfriend talk. we both promised each other that we'd have at least one girlfriend before Nov. 5, 2005. we both agreed that if we did not hold to this pact, it meant that we would not get married and we'll probably end up devoting our lives to the missions field. lol.

alrite, i'm done digesting Carl's Jr. i think i can put the body to rest now.
