Please add me in Multiply if you have an account there :D. I just copy and paste my blog entries from LJ to Multiply but I frequently review some of the movies that I have recently watched.
Does anyone have a PS1 memory card? Why don't they sell PS1s, PS1 games and PS1 memory cards anymore? They only sell them online nowadays, and I don't like buying online. It sucks. Ugh, I can't properly play the Final Fantasy VIII game that I borrowed from my niece and nephew just because I can't save my game on a file. I really do miss playing Final Fantasy VIII.
Since I had no PS1 memory card, I just spent five to six hours playing a new game without saving it a few days ago. I had no choice and I wanted to play more but it was already midnight. I even took some time drawing magic from the enemies, enhancing the abilities of the GFs, etc. I even already had Rinoa in my party. Wow, I am feeling so nostalgic after playing Final Fantasy VIII. I remember the days when video games focused more on the gameplay and the story than on the graphics. I remember the days when RPGs used to be more fun and addicting. I miss Final Fantasy IX, Legend of Mana, Chrono Cross, Front Mission X, etc. too. Does anyone have those games anymore? I don't remember where my old games are but I am pretty sure I left them in the Philippines or my cousin back home has them.
******************** Isaac Davis: Why is life worth living? It's a very good question. Um... Well, There are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. uh... Like what... okay... um... For me, uh... ooh... I would say... what, Groucho Marx, to name one thing... uh... um... and Wilie Mays... and um... the 2nd movement of the Jupiter Symphony... and um... Louis Armstrong, recording of Potato Head Blues... um... Swedish movies, naturally... Sentimental Education by Flaubert... uh... Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra... um... those incredible Apples and Pears by Cezanne... uh... the crabs at Sam Wo's... uh... Tracy's face... (quote copied from the website IMDB.com
)
This is one of the best monologues ever in film history. It's from the movie Manhattan directed by Woody Allen. It is being said by another one of Woody Allen's recurring neurotic and pessimistic yet lovable characters. I think you would appreciate the quote more if you watch the movie and if you are familiar with some of the people, music, etc. that he has mentioned in his monologue. I guess those little things in life are the ones that keep us going and living and actually make life worth living.
To me, the things that make my life worthwhile and bearable are, let's see... Cherry cheese danish. Cup noodles. Pedro Almodovar's movies. Sigur Ros' soothing music. Daily orgasms. Happy-ending musicals. Huskies. Oh, Groucho Marx among the three Marx brothers too. Watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Gene Kelly's tap dancing, singing and charisma. The beautiful and charming actress Penelope Cruz. Dried mangoes. Woody Allen's romantic comedies, of course. Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Final Fantasy's orchestral music. Rare afternoon naps. Breathtaking sights. The occasional swimming and floating by the beach or at a swimming pool. The frequent feelings of nostalgia. And of course, my family and friends. I can write more but I can't think of more right now.
******************** Yes, two to three weeks left and I am done with my 1st year of college. And we have a four-month vacation. Isn't that awesome? Wow, I can't wait. After three weeks from now, I can finally rest and stop worrying about my grades and thinking about my studies. And I can also finally watch movies non-stop XD. I also need to find a full-time job for vacation before I go back to the Philippines for a month. I need to save some pocket money so I can spend a lot when I go back home XD.
I feel like I am failing most of my subjects, two or three of them. I think I am going to get 70-79 in some of my subjects. I just hope my grades in my other subjects can help boost my average. I need to pass my exams in order to get a good grade. And I can't even imagine what my parents would say once they find out that I might not even get an A- average.
