yeah. so from now on i'm gonna appreciate movie editors more that i've ever been. so today after piano class i went to ps with sevira and adhyt, to work on our VNR for english oral presentation, due monday. so i've spent the entire afternoon and evening editing our video. i've had the laptop on my lap since 2pm. sat for like, 2 hours at starbucks then another 2 at haagen dasz (we needed a change of scenery, mind you haha).
so yeah, we spent four hours in PS doing just that. wow. i've never done that before. if ever i spent 4 hours in ps it's because we fooled around, watched movies or played pool or something. i usually only sat in starbucks to have a drink, while i waited to be picked up. hmm. but i'm so glad i was really productive. i thought it was rather impossible to do works in the mall haha.
oh a lot of things struck me today.
one of the things was how people who hung out in starbucks uses the to-go cups instead of the for-here glasses. i mean if you intend to sit around for quite a while, i think it's better for the environtment to use the for-here glass. i saw a lot of people, who i knew was going to stay long there, since they had their laptops on and seemed to be having a meeting, and they used the to-go cups. it kinda bothered sevira and i. i mean, it's really good that starbucks had actually put up a sign, reminding the caffeine addicts to go green and use the for-here glass instead. though not much seemed to have take note of it.
hmmm. so there's something to enlighten all yous about one of the measures you can take to save mother earth. and maybe a little advice for starbucks, maybe if the signs are not good enough, why not offer it to buyers when taking their orders? a little more reminders for them probly be a better way. at least they're reminded, as we're not quite used to have the for-here glasses. so anyways, think about it. i think it's better to have for-here glasses in any coffee shops or cafes or restaurants rather then the plastic to-go ones. so there you have it, another day, another way to save the planet :)
oh and another thing struck me today. sevira mentioned that this coming summer holidays would be the last one where we'd come back to high school. i never quite thought about that. i just couldn't wait for it to come, i didn't think about what'd happen when this summer comes to an end. then i feld the insides of my stomach stirred up and sunk a bit. i really hate having to think about the fact that high school's almost over. i really do.
i love high school to the core of the core. despite the fact that this whole IB shitz is slowly deteriorating every part of me. but fact is, we're all fighting together. again although i sometimes feel like giving up, the one thing that would always make me change my mind is the fact that i would miss a lot from high school.
i dont know how i'll get through IB, but i know i can somehow. i'd probably be catatonic inside by the time i finish the final exams. but i'd get through it because it's high school. because it's the best part of my youth life and i don't want to throw it away only because of IAs, TOK essays and EE.
well anyways, so much enlightenment for such a seemingly short day. yeah the whole in front of the laptop thing made the day seem shorter. hargh.
oh haven't wrote about my friday night. haha had awesome time eating sushi. yeah, sushi-eating day out after the end of an exhausting weekday is a very nice remedy indeed. after that we watched angels and demons. which was superbly awesome! everyone must watch it! or better yeat read it! but i'm soooooooooo amazed by the visual effect of when the antimatter blew up. it's soooooooo cool!! hahaha.
but aside from that the story was magnificent as well. hmm feel like reading it again haha. but anyways, i love the underlying message of the movie. and this movie's not as controversial as the davinci code, too. i mean what this movie is trying to project is that even religion are flawed. here's the syllogistic reasoning to that point:
people are flawed
religions are made by people
therefore, religions are flawed
i think that what the movie and book is trying to portray is that people sometimes don't realize that. the thought that religion surpasses everything then might lead to people being irrational and therefore expresses their flaws.
oh shit, why can't i go TOK when i was suppose to do the essay? haaargh. hmmm. but guess what, i may just have a topic for a TOK presentation. i'm claiming it mine hahahah. :D
anyways enough with the TOK bullshits. just go watch the movie. it's extremely marvelous! haha.
so after the movie most people left (ferina, agnes and ariani) soooo that leaves only me, cavin, gino and kaher. so we decided to go play pool. i was extremely lousy at pool. but it was fun, though :D chugged a corona and lime, while i'm at it hahaha.
hmmm. well, so sunday tomorrow. feel like having a lazy one, indeed.
hope you had a nice saturday, guys.
one that DOESN'T involve movie editing.
say hello the the bella luna!
ciao!
