The Philippines has a lot of water. We just have it in all the wrong places.

Well. Wala na namang pasok. I'd love the chance to snuggle under the bed covers if not for the fact that we've got the threat of the Quarterly Tests glumly hanging over our heads. What a drag. Sana naudlot na lang ung pasukan pagkatapos ng QTs. So there. We've got an unfortunate six-day weekend, plus the problem of finding something to do.

I feel sorry for PAG-ASA and CHED. If they don't call off classes, the people get mad. If they do-- and when they do, there is certainly that 75% chance that it won't rain because they made the announcement early-- people still get mad. Either way both groups get eaten alive by the thankless multitudes. This is weather we're talking about people! It's supposed to be finicky! The poor blokes can't help it if the rains refuse to dance on cue. Tush tush.

I watched the old tape of Lion King yesterday. For a movie set in the African savannah, it just struck me how little any of it actually has to do with Africa. Most of the characters have American or English accents; the only exception is Rafiki, who's as lovably eccentric as ever. If he's the African medicine man though, how come he knows kung fu? Hmm... There are a lot of things you ponder on when you're a little more grown up. Hehe, I still remember all of their dialogues though. Amazing what you retain when you're a kid watching an animated feature ten times more often than what's healthy.

Ngayon ko rin lang pala naintindihan yung first part ng Hakuna Matata song:

Pumbaa: And OHHH THE SHAME

Timon: (He was ashamed!)

Pumbaa: Thought of changing my name!

Timon: (Oh what's your name!)

Pumbaa: And I got downhearted

Timon: (Ohhh how'd you feeeeel!)

Pumbaa: Everytime that I--

Timon: Hey Pumbaa not in front of the kids!

Pumbaa: Oh. Sorry.

Well. Isang salita lang naman yung rhyming dun e. Aaaah. :))

I miss traditionally-animated movies.
