In one of my few lunch out, I was waiting in a food court for my officemate to return with his lunch. While I was waiting I looked around (as part of my daily habit – mag usisa!) and noticed so many people eating with their mouths opened. When I was younger, my dad used to go off at me if I didn’t eat with my mouth closed. It makes lots of sense now because you don’t want to see what others are manducating! At first, I thought it was a cultural thing or meant for jocularity but to my dismay it is indeed their way of eating. Another thing that surprised me was a woman in business suits were doing it too. Yes, they looked prim and proper and professional, then they shove a sandwich in their mouth and it’s all over! Que horror de barbarian! Do people not realize that they are masticating with their mouth opened or were they not told when they were a child? I supposed it’s not one of those things that was really made a big deal about like picking your nose.
Do some people shove too much food in their mouths? Is that why they need to have their mouths opened wider than its supposed to? Not only do these people show the world what they have for lunch but they tend to make more noise! Chompy, smacky noises, its awful! Then bits of food escape from their mouths! It gets worse and worse…
Not a good habit I say, I am no expert in manners and don’t get the wrong notion but this one for me is not acceptable, maingay kase and awful looking.
One of the cast of Brokeback Mountain - the talented 28 year-old actor who gravitated toward dark, brooding roles that defied his leading man looks was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment, facedown at the foot of his bed with his prescription of sleeping pills nearby, no indication that he committed suicide but suspects an OD case.
I am completely appalled when my boyfriend said this news of Heath Ledger's death. I feel so sorry for his family, especially his little girl and Michelle Williams, someone so young and with so much to live. It just become glaringly obvious how much we take life for granted. It's so disturbing sometimes that there are few individual treat life so fragile, gave up easily to life’s journey..
He is Heath Andrew Ledger, born on the 4th of April 1979, died last 22 January 2008, Manhattan New York.
Few of his famous personal quotes:
"I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away. I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.... I don't want to do this for the rest of my life....I don't want to spend the rest of my youth doing this in this industry. There's so much I want to discover." - Vanity Fair (August 2000)
I prefer to date older women because they don't try to act older like younger girls but because they try to act younger.
"I don't have a technique. I've never been a believer in having one set technique on how to act. There are no rules and there is no rulebook. At the end of the day, it all comes down to my instincts. That's the one thing that guides me through every decision professionally. Socially, also. That's my technique. Yeah, you read through the script 100 times. I guess I have little characteristics about myself. Sometimes, most often than not, once we start shooting I won't look at the script at all until we finished shooting. It's kind of like it's been imprinted in my head during rehearsals. You just let it go." - Reel.com, May 2001
"I'm the worst auditioner, really, really bad. I mean, you're being judged and I'm just so aware of it that it consumes me. I can't relax, I'm tied in knots, so the voice is very taut and tense. You're so aware that you're acting 'cause you're sitting across from this lady with a piece of paper who's going, ''I'm. Going. To. Shoot. You. If. You. Don't. Blah, blah, blah,'' in this emotionless voice. It's foul. I hate it." - EW.com, May 2001
People just love to bash LA. People say it's so pretentious, so arrogant, so this and that. But it's truly a wonderful place. You don't have to go to the places where that stuff goes on. You don't have to go to Beverly Hills, you don't have to go to the parties. You can live up in the Lower Canyon and live such a perfectly healthy, beautiful, fun life with all your friends. You can drive two hours one way and be at the Joshua Tree desert, two hours one way you're skiing at Big Bear. Sure, it can get full-on and that's why it's good to get out. But it's too easy just to say, "Nup, I hate it. I'm not living there anymore. - NW Magazine, March 2000
[about growing up with his mom and his sisters] I learned respect for women, and patience. You grow up with all those women around you...you learn to wait your turn. - Cosmopolitan, June 1998
I never studied acting in Australia. I never had an empty stage and black pajamas to run around and express myself.
"The challenge was to capture the stillness of him. I have kind of semi-frantic, nervous energy. Harnassing that was something I thought I'd have to work out. Shooting in the wilderness, the stillness became like this innate quality." -on his character "Ennis" in Brokeback Mountain (2005).
Brooklyn seems to me the closest thing in America to Europe. The neighbors and locals are beautiful people. It's like a village.
"She's my soul mate and we couldn't love each other any more than we do already. We're like two peas in a pod." [On girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, 'Michelle Williams']
[on playing The Joker in The Dark Knight] The Joker, so far, is definitely the most fun I've had with any character. He's just out of control -- no empathy, he's a sociopath, uh, a psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And, uh, I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It's just exceeded any expectations I had of what the experience would be like.
[On his choice of film projects] I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself. I can't say I'm proud of my work. It's the same with everything I do: the day I say 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else.
Was there a time that you can’t think of anything to write on, as if you were in chaos? As I sit staring at my computer screen wondering what to write, some random thoughts run through my head...have I nothing to write?.. considering I talk a lot, a keen observer – I would say. Have I nothing to communicate? Has writing few words become so difficult for me? Am I suffering from writers block? (naks! I feel like am a writer huh..come on give it away! ) Hey! what’s my wrong with me?
Let me try to answer these queries in my mind..I am maybe occupied of what I have watched last night’s episode of ghost whisperer led by Jennifer Love Hewitt, this ain’t the usual telenovela huh, as the title speaks for itself, sort of a suspense. Hewitt here has the gift to see ghost who hasn’t cross over or ghost who has unfinished business, but that’s not the point I am leading to. It’s about anniversary that Hewitt and her husband, she thought that her husband have buried somewhere their anniversary – which I can relate to I must say! I feel like that my man, does this all the time and you know what??? Today is our anniversary and there he is asleep as a baby and here I am trying to free up my mind by writing but what the heck..wala ako maisip!!! Am I making sense here?!
A little pensive act would satisfy this crave I have. Five minutes of exemplified sweet nothing from my man is indeed very pleasing. That’s all I want..not gifts nor gadgets just remember this day and that’s it. Don’t you get it? A little attention from him would definitely erase this tantrum.
