Mammas Love Mamma Mia! Movie
Lately, I barely go to the cinemas to do may twice-a-week movie-watching ritual. I missed a lot of major movies that I wanted to see. But last weekend I was able to sneak into the nearest cinema and watch one (actually two) of the showing movies. I decided to buy a ticket for a musical flick Mama Mia! and my oh my it was a good one, as far as I am concerened.
Mamma Mia!
When I started to take my seat I immediately noticed a bunch of mamas having maybe their weekend group-together. But then I regretted seating directly in front of them as they were making such a racket that I can’t concentrate watching the movie. My irritation was only abated as I realized that they were doing such loud laughters because they were really enjoying the movie. ‘Til came such a time that I can’t stop laughing myself at the funny parts for the mammas behind me is really infectious.
The movie was great and it took me a lot of irritable moments just to realize that. Here is the synopis from Yahoo!: “Raised on a Greek island by a formerly rebellious mom who never disclosed the identity of her father, a bride-to-be locates three men who might be her father and invites them to her wedding.” I also like the movie for it uses some of ABBA’s music hits and what made me enjoy the movie even more is that the songs chosen for the movie really fits the story. It was such a great movie-going comeback and I never regretted that I chose this movie.
Mamma Mia! is still showing on theaters near you.
And it Smells “Stinkily” Ever After
The Flood
Two (or is it three) weeks since the depressing event that caused a couple of lives, the marks of the great flood still linger. Despite the efforts of many concerned citizens to rehabilatate Panay, it is enivitably obvious that a plethora of evidences are still there to trigger a depression deep within me. Take for example the still homeless families and the heaps of sticky mud that tells me, “Hey, I’m still here!”. Even though the previous days proved to be rainy, they are still not enough to wash away the dust that irritates enybody’s eyes.
Stinking
In our area especially many have been disgusted by the ranking smell of bloated rice, soaked with flood water. The storage house of the National Food Authority Region VI is nonetheless affected by flood, along with hundreds of sacks of rice that should have been for the consumption of the people. It is a pity that in the midst of food crisis the nature has made a way to make it worse. Almost 5-6 layers of rice sacks piled one after the other were damaged making it useless. If we are to assume the numbers it would richochet to whooping thousands of would-be food for thousands of Filipinos.
I am not condeming any institution here but simply presenting what should been but what is not. I am still smiling despite all these as the Illongos are showing how resilient and strong they are. Despite the hardships brought by the late event they are not wasting away their time by doing nothing. We strive to continue living. And as the banners of our City Mayor says, “Bangon mga Illongo!”
