Rain
Singing In the Rain - Frank SinatraI'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
For love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Singing, singing in the rain
In the rain.
La...
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singing, singing in the rain
In the rain
In the rain
I took a shower in the rain tonight. Gah, it was soo hot today when I had lunch with Mitch and Isis. It's nice meeting up with friends in the middle of the week just to chitchat and laugh at each other's stories/misadventures (like Isis tripping on all fours in front of the FX queue). I need that kind of break after Ms. G slammed her door on my face.
Ah well, I inserted that song above because it reminded me of my first attempt on showbiz. A neighbor of ours "discovered" me while I was hanging out at my lola's store. I think I was only 5 years old that time. She said she's looking for someone [as cute as] me to fill in their dance troupe for a recital in the Meralco (or is it Metropolitan?) theater. hehehehe... well, I had to dance with an umbrella to the tune of that song above. I really had a hard time memorizing the steps even with my cousins' coaching. haha.. Anyways, I quit in the middle of the rehearsals not because I keep forgetting the steps but because the woman who owned the house we were rehearsing on one day went to the dance floor drunk and hysterical. I got freaked out by that and I cried my brains out. I never returned to that place.
Tsk tsk... Oh well, I think that's one of the turning point in my life that triggered me to love dancing. Because it was a weird frustration.
I wish it would rain again tomorrow.

The Interpreter
"The only acting you ever see at the Oscars is when people act like they're not mad they lost. Nicole Kidman was smiling so wide, she should have won an Emmy at the Oscars for her great performance. I was like, 'If you'd done that in the movie, you'd have won an Oscar, girl!" -Chris RockI watched The Interpreter with Mitch yesterday. Got a bit disappointed coz it was supposed to be the first film to use the UN building and I like Sean Penn's acting and Nicole Kidman's body but the whole thing was boring and predictable. I dunno... maybe I just read too much of Sidney Sheldon and Dan Brown to know the formula of political drama with all the twists. Well, it's aptly named The Interpreter; Nicole was too focused on her diction and enunciation that everything else she did was too flat. Thank god Sean Penn (or the scriptwriter) brought in a few funny moments or else I would be sleeping again inside the theater (hmmm... or maybe it's because I drank 2 servings of Maxwell House Ice). *sigh* I really don't wanna diss Nicole. I like her better than that bubblehead Latina, Penelope Cruz and web-toed pudding-face Katie Holmes (What is wrong with Tom Cruise's now?). BUT *sigh* I'm really really disappointed.
