| The Da Vinci Code...What's da big deal?! |
| Sunday, April 30, 2006 |
I'm not saying I hate the book cause I don't. It's an adventure that takes you around a lot of historical places in Paris. It was definitely a page turner that could possibly spawn a million "what if?" thoughts on your brain. The ending for me was disappointing. Anticlimactic.
But dude! The book was placed on the fiction category of bookstores for a reason!
Why? Because for the Nth time, IT IS FICTION!
Sure it's contoversial cause somewhere at the start of the book it says the book is based on facts blah, blah, blah. BUT IT IS FICTION. And Dan Brown is an ass for making people believe otherwise!
The thing is, the more people are making such a big deal about Da Vinci Code (I read somewhere that there was this local group trying to get our "supposed" Prez GMA to confiscate all Da Vinci Code books and destroy them), then the more people, even those who are not aware of the book, become curious and would want to know what the big deal is about it. In an ironic twist of fate, it's like the people who are making such a big fuss over the book is unwittingly promoting it.
By the way, this part is not really related to the point that I'm trying to get across but have you ever tried to read any other Brown book aside from the Da Vinci Code?
Redundant!
The plot is always the same!
There's a Langdon-like character, a smart, beautiful girl by his side, a gargantuan secret that could shatter the belief system of mankind, and a group or a sect that's always trying to expose the gargantuan secret or sometimes, maybe for variety, Brown would have the group or sect prevent the exposition of the gargantuan secret.
Anywho, the Da Vinci Code is just a really entertainingly good, cleverly written fictional adventure intertwined with some facts but nevertheless IT IS STILL FICTION.
Do not allow your religious beliefs to be swayed or shattered by something which I repeat is basically FICTION.
We are Filipinos, one the most religious nations on earth.
I would like to think that our faith and religious beliefs cannot be shattered by something this trivial. I know mine wasn't.
It's just a book. A FICTIONAL one at that. Don't let it bother you that much.
On a lighter note, can't wait for the movie though. I just wanna see if Ron Howard and Tom Hanks did the book justice.:) |

Breathe (2 AM)- Anna Nalick
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just a Day, he said down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Never has a song ever been so insanely perfect for a particular part of a tv shows' climactic montage of life threatening (or life-changing if you like) events.
It wasn't custom made for the show or anything it was just... perfect.
Listen out for the song on Grey's Anatomy and you'll know what I mean.
FYI for new fanatics and for future fanatics, GREY'S ANATOMY is on every Wednesday @ Star World & is coming very soon on local tv @ Studio 23. |

| Who will be the next Kelly Clarkson?! (part 2): Confessions of an Idol Fanatic |
| Thursday, April 13, 2006 |
Screw the other contestants I picked before as those who could be the next Kelly Clarkson!
Screw Ace! Yes! That's right! ACE YOUNG! He butchered the most greatest rock song on earth (FYI: Queen's "We Will Rock You")! Chris would've done that song justice! Its a good thing he's hot or he would've been voted off.
I didn't know any better a month ago but now I do!
If there's anyone who I want to win it's this guy below...
ELLIOTT YAMIN
America! Stop putting him in the bottom 3!
First, Man"diva" and now Elliot?! Seriously, what's the matter with you people?!
But all favoritism aside I would have to say that this is the best bunch of contestants they ever had! You just want all of them to win cause they're all so good!
But ELLIOTT YAMIN...he's the best of them all. |
