Alice in Wonderland

alice-in-wonderland-tim-burtonLast night, I watched Alice in Wonderland (the one by Tim Burton) with my roommate. We thought it was funny and the characters were very unique. I especially loved the Red Queen who obviously loves red. She was very bratty and selfish and unkind. She was also so small that I thought she needed hgh and to compensate for her being tiny she had a large head. I could not totally blame her for her selfish attitude; it may be because of the way she was brought up. Or her sister, the White queen, was more favored by her parents. Maybe it was just a bad attitude tolerated by many but it turned to be a scary psychological disorder, bordering on being histrionic. I was fascinated by her character because it was very imperfect. Real. Human. Her sister was the good one and a very stereotypical princess and she was prim, proper and perfect that I couldn’t relate myself to her. She’s one of the people who we all want to be but we simply can’t.

Altogether, the characters were beautifully portrayed and relatable. The movie was so colorful and full of life. And it was not the kind of movie that I thought Alice in Wonderland would be.

Cha Yen

cha yenCha yen is a Thai version of cold tea with milk and sugar. Before, everytime I drank this tea, I wouldn’t be able to sleep for two nights. I guess I drank those that had too strong a caffeine. But last night, I thought of ordering it as my drink. Cha yen is not good to drink, especially if you’re into losing weight because I believe they use a lot of condensed milk to make it very sweet. But I guess with the best fat burners around, it’s not a worry anymore. And hey, I’m on my holiday. I shouldn’t think of food restrictions, should I?

Ranong Hotel

june13-2010 392We are now in Ranong, staying in Ban Cheung Kao Hotel. It’s not a big hotel. They just have one-storey rooms and some bungalows. It’s quite cheap. I think because Ranong is not very tourist-y so hotels in Ranong are not that expensive. In their rooms, they don’t use modern furniture. The tables are made of concrete cement which they probably built together with the building. It’s quite a smart idea. They don’t have to spend on their furniture. I guess that’s why the rates are very cheap.

It’s 2:00 AM

And I am still awake. I got hooked with youtube videos of some celebrities in the Philippines. LOL. Coming from me, it’s hard to believe because I am not really into Philippine show business. Anyways, it’s a good thing I just realized the time. I don’t feel sleepy at all. I guess it’s because I drank a cup of coffee after dinner. I would have to travel with dark circles tomorrow morning then. Ugh. Seriously, I need to sleep now. Long day waiting tomorrow.

Can’t Stop

Friday, June 4th, 2010

ent almost 2 weeks in Zambales with my sister and her family. The place was very beautiful though the weather was very hot. You can see mango trees everywhere and most of the mangoes I ate were not bought but sold. My major problem in Zambales is that it seems I couldn’t stop eating. After breakfast comes the snacks then in a little while would be lunch then snacks then dinner and lastly, snacks again. I think I should buy that appetite suppressant or order Phentermine so that I would stop eating so much.
