Bruce Springsteen's THE WRESTLER

I just realized that after the Academy Awards ceremony, after I enjoyed the show, Kate Winslet's win and Slumdog Millionaire's domination, one song was mercilessly snubbed by the Academy-the true Best Original Theme Song of 2008, Bruce Springsteen's The Wrestler. It's such a letdown that this beautiful song was criminally overlooked, and so as the film. The Wrestler was 2008's most underrated jewel. Some The Dark Knight fanboys thinks that their beloved movie got snubbed in the Oscar big time, but how about The Wrestler? What about Danny Aronofsky? What about Bruce Springsteen, the screenplay, and the cinematography? Seriously, The Wrestler was better than the three other nominees (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Reader and Frost/Nixon). If I'm going to make a list of films notoriously snubbed by the Academy, The Wrestler for Best Original Song was in the Top 10, maybe in the Top 5 if I can't think of any.

This was Bruce Springsteen's beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OSvJvSwmd4

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me

Hear it, and tell me what you think. It's a song that will be pile into your memory as long as the sun is rising in the morning.

TWIGLAYT

If ever Edward, Eli, Bella and Oscar meet each other, Eli will do that to Edward and Bella. GO ELI AND OSCAR.

I hate Twilight. Possibly the most annoying, cliched, cheesy, mushy, trashy and the most overrated movie ever made. I loath every inch of it. Sobra. Nakakainis din yung mga emo fantards nya across the web.

Edward Cullen is the gayest straight character in the history of Cinema. Even Harvey Milk looks straight compared to him. And Bella Swan...God knows how retarded Bella is.

Another vampire movie was released last year...it's called Let the Right One In. It was a Swedish movie about two kids, one human and one vampire, falls in love. It has a mature screenplay, thrilling, exciting and superb performances all around and 100000x better than TWIGLAYT.

The super PANCHINGEROS

The Super PANCHINGEROS
or, should I say, things that makes Krenn a good person

In year 2000, Nostradamus was damn wrong. The world did not end. Instead, in 2000, lots of things happened like my favorite film Amores Perros was released in Mexico, actress Loretta Young dies, Microsoft releases Windows 2000 and so on. But hello, I'm not going to tackle all these things that happened in 2000. I'm supposed to talk about myself. Forget it. But the year 2000 made a real significance in my life.

That year I turned 10 years old. I'm still an immature kid that time, but I've experienced a lot of things. Things are very hard when I was 10, and switching schools is one of those. I'm an NPS or No Permanent School. After I've experienced a rather horrible thing from my previous school, it really terrifies me to go to another one. I used to be one of the smartest among the class, but this nutcase teacher marked a very low grade on my card! The usual parent-teacher drama happened when my mom confronted my teacher (think of Viola Davis and Meryl Streep's scene in Doubt), and my mom decided to transfer me to another school.

As I step my foot into my whole new battlefield (because I got transfered AFTER the 1st grading period, so yaz, I'm like an irregular student who doesn't know anything except the fact that HE needs to mingle with the others), my head begins to think: Will I survive? Do I need to hold on into my weapon (being myself) tightly or should I let it go? Will I make any friends or foes? Lots of questions actually, including what's the smell of the comfort room, are the books in the good condition, do I have ugly classmates, ETC. all of them are mixing inside my head like a sweet Halo-Halo waiting to be digested inside your stomach.

So, the number 1 Panchingero that makes me a good person is... STRENGTH BY GOD.

It may sound cliche but I survived! A lots of troubles happened but in the help of my unbelievable strength, courage and GOD's grace, I survived those troubles. I'm not that kind of person who's easy to fall down. You can't make me beg with my knees kneeling towards you by simply saying that you want me to. I need to make atleast one punch on your face...or atleast I should defend myself before you can tell me what you want me to do.

#2 Panchingero: FAMILY.

My mom, dad and my kuya are all dependable and nice. They are there whenever I'm on top, down, middle etc. Whatever problems that I encounter, they all make me feel that I have a wall to lean on. My family was HARD AS ROCK. We are solid and no one's gonna put us down. And if ever, someone will try to do so, I will hunt them down. I will make them suffer as if they wish their mom aborted them when they're still a fetus.

#3 Panchingero: FRIENDS

Niko? She? Annie? Ivan? Bianca? Kc? Pau? Garah? Ann? Abbie? Christopher? Corinthian? LMG boys? 2MC02 and Kanguszo? How can I live without them? Seriously, life's crazy without them...and if I lost atleast one of them, I dunno what to do. When I'm with thease folks, my brain starts to laugh. It feels like I'm in paradise with them. I treasure all of them, ALL of them. Well, these people are too beautiful to ignore. They're one of God's greatest gift to me.

#4 Panchingero: MOVIES

Amores Perros' signature edition DVD costs $9.00, Battle Royale's 6-disc boxset costs P1,999. Watching a movie? PRICELESS. I love movies. Without movies, art is nothing. Cinema was universe's greatest form of art-a perfect way on expressing deep and shallow emotions, presenting visually stunning images and putting a smile on everybody's faces. True, that there are movies that are meant to entertain and are meant to be appreciated, but whatever, movies are still one of the main reasons why I'm breathing.

So, this kinda-long dramatic monolog of mine is over and I hope you guys will love it.

I don't care if some grammars or spellings are wrong (I'm a human being, Goddamit! I'm not PERFECT!), but if God forgives, then so are you =)

SPEECH kung SPEECH

So, finally kanina, we (Batch 1) have finally delivered our respective speeches. Off course, everyone was biting-off their finger and toe nails (what?!) and almost throw up some smurf because of nervous. Anyway, so I'm the 5th (?) presenter. The first 4 was excellent. They all delivered their speeches very well. Some experienced "blank minded syndrome" and paused for a couple of times, but it's amazing that they never got distracted.

Dapat ako talaga eh pang 6, pero nag skip dun sa talagang 5th sa list kasi absent. So, I felt a sudden cringe. I feel like my stomach and my guts are mixing altogether. It's my turn!!!!

So I stand up. Took a deep breath and here goes...

I don't need to tell you things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad.
It's a depression.

Whoo! I survived! Kabisado ko pala...so nagpatuloy ako...

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy
so...so we don't go OUT anymore.
We sit on our house and slowly the world we're living in is getting SMALL (smaller dapat..haha)

Okay pa naman. I can still pull it!

So finally natapos ko na din yung speech. Sabi nung mga classmates ko nakakadala daw yung boses ko. I'm proud of what I've done. It feels soooo great dahil nai deliver ko naman yung speech ko ng maayos. Not perfect but simply brilliant. HAHAHA! May ganun?

So pagka uwian, sabi sakin ng prof ko iimbitahan daw nya akong mag speech sa kabilang section. It feels so good! Pero, I have class so hindi ko tinanggap. HEHE.

Ito nga pala yung speech ko:

From the movie Network (1976) starring Peter Finch, William Holden and Faye Dunaway.

Er-Poon

iPod is my only source of entertainment whenever I'm riding a jeepney to go to school. iPod is an instrument to store music. What are you doing with these music? You should listen to it, so you'll never get bored. How can you listen to it? You need EARPHONES.

From the first time I got my iPod, I've already used, like, 7 ear phones already. What happened to them?

The original earphones lasted for 5 months, it got broke because while travelling to Batangas, I fell asleep and I kept it inside my pocket. I accidentally sat on it and bwuala, earphone's already broke.

The 2nd one was the longest, I've used it for 7 months. It's a headphone from Fitness First (which my mom owns, yet she don't know how to use it, so lucky me). I don't know but some kind of mystical forces makes the left speaker of my headphone broke. So, it's useless now.

The others? Same thing happened. The shortest was probably...well, this recent earphones I just brought.

I decided to go and buy another bag because my Bench bag's zipper got ripped. So, I decided to buy a new bagpack in Illuztrascio (or something). It costs almost 900 pesos and God, I thought it's already pricey but my mom bought it anyway.

Then I said to my mom that I want to have brand new earphones. My mom's forehead wrinkled because (I think) she doesn't like the thought. So, I have to convince her.

"Mom, I promise to take care of this earphones, bla bla bla"

So finally, she brought me an earphone. It costs 250, so, the sound registers so good. So I enjoy it until we're having groceries, then into our car, until home.

So I'm really enjoying my earphones, and it's foundation day at my university so I have soo many time to listen to my iPod. I have severe addiction to Fast Cars so I played it like 8x or so a day.

When we saw the Korean students (whom one of them was very good looking, and my friend, Garah kinda have a crush on him), we decided to ask them for a picture. Because of adrenaline, I left my bag on the curb, so I ask my friend, Rex, to give me my bag.

He throws the bag on my hands. It slept. I grab it....like, nothing happens.

The next day, I get my iPod from its case. To my surprise, the covers of the earphone was missing. No, wait, it's not. It's still inside the case, but unfortunately, it was detached from the earphone. I was so upset and thinks that I broke it again. So I tried to put it back. Thank God, it's REALLY detachable. So, iPodding continues.

Until one day, my friend Bianca borrowed my iPod. She listens to it, dah dah dah like forever. Then she returns it to me...wait a second, where's the cover of the earphone...AGAIN?

Then she realized that it was left on his ear. IT GOT BROKE! Then she started to re-attach it again. No, it can't. The earphone is officially broke. Yes, it is. For two weeks, the spirit of that earphone finally lingers in the 4-cornered cafeteria of Trinity University of Asia. No, wait a second. It CAN'T be broke. I need to think of something or else, my commuting life will be BORING for the rest of the semester.

So I started working on it at night. Off course, I need to hide it from my mom because she's definitely going to NAG me because of it. So, I remove the gray rubber cover of it and re-attach the white rounded plastic cover of the earphone, also the stainless ring.

WOOO! I need to fix it. So I fix it.

The solution I get was I detach the gray rubber and instead, I attach the pink one. IT WORKED!

But, now, as I type this message, my earphone is now breathing using a respirator (the gray and the pink rubbers), because accidentally, the white rounded plastic cover and the stainless ring got lost while I'm riding on a jeep. POOR ME.

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

I love the song very much. I always play it whenever I'm riding on our car, on a jeepney, and even when I'm alone or surfing the web. It was a very sad song, but it was very beautiful. When they first heard the song, some of my friends thought that Tracy Chapman was a guy, LOL. But, they absolutely love it!
