enrolment and harry potter & the prisoner of azkaban

listening to the song "island in the sun" by weezer always seems to put me on a great mood. it's too bad that the only copy i have of this song is on this pc so i couldn't have the satisfaction of being able to listen to it when i want to, esp. now that i'll be so far away from home. it's the last song i play before i close the pc and one of the songs that i play many times during the duration of my usage of the pc. lemme wallow in it for awhile...

i came home from qc early this am, around 1:30 am. i boarded the bus around 6:20 pm but it didn't leave until 7, so even if i got out early, there's still no changing my time of arrival here at home. if only i changed buses. whatever, it's over. and i'm home already.

i didn't expect that enrolling for one ge subject would take me 1 whole day. i was even fearing that i wouldn't be able to enlist one subject, that i would resort to asking for a prerogative from either one of the professors i'll be wanting to take a class in. i eventually found a ge subject which didn't have a long line: Filipino 128. all the others are "box office" hits, with lines circling around in the room and spilling out into the corridors. i didn't really have any idea what this one is about. i read that the course description of Fil128 is "Mga Natatanging Diskursyo sa Wika at Lipunan". so much for my plans of taking cw10 (creative writing) or panpil19 (about sexuality) this sem as my ge. i'm not exactly expecting fil128 to be a very interesting subject but with 15 units of my whole load taking up chemistry, math and microbiology, i think i might need this little respite from having to do so many things. so i'm enrolled in 18 units. plus my pe which is scuba diving. now this is another interesting matter. i'm looking forward to this one.

though i was able to enlist that ge subject, i was still not able to pay. so i'll do so on monday. meanwhile, i'll just rest here at home and make the most of my stay here.

i was able to watch harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban, the third installation of the harry potter movies based on j.k. rowling's harry potter saga, also based on the third book of the same title, during the opening day. i came in the moviehouse quite halfway already. i watched it with two of my cousins, ate kit and her younger sister, anya. it didn't disappoint me one bit. though it was not totally faithful to the book, i loved the way the different vital scenes have been put together to still be able to give the same message as the book had. it's funnier and totally a magical movie. the previous books didn't so much as give viewers some idea on how magical their world really is. this one did. and the different sceneries really provide a fresher view on the movie. i wanna watch it again. maybe next week. making cuaron as director was a very good move. he kept the spirit of the book intact.
