unmeasurable sorrow...

Quantum of Solace...the new James Bond flick. J.C. and i went to see this movie today. the beginning was filled with death defying full packed action and car chases that wows you to the max. shot in Italy on a tiny squeezed dirt road and this reminds me of Baguio without the vegetation. i was turned off going to this summer capital of the Phil. bec. of the ride. my only consolation was the visit to that pink church cathedral. even up there on the mountains was hot, population explosion, yes, a lot of students from our neighbor Asian countries called it their temporary home. it is not really that bad but what if... is all i can think of then as Paul skillfully navigates the rugged twisted or zigzag roads, his very own turf for he'd been this way a lot of times before driving his priest employer before my brother. yes, he was a very excellent driver, laughs. i won't even dare to drive in this kind of environment. i am not too savvy, laughs, and one turn might be the wrong turn and down the cliff we go, laughs and that's the big if that i dreaded but Paul and even my brother are pros. Filipino drivers are the best around the world i think. with just a hairline of space separating one car from another i was amazed that there weren't tons of accidents so that speaks volume. i need a lot of practice i would say before i venture myself in the city. my brother do not trust me with his automobiles. why i want to drive a limo then, laughs. but in the province that is another story. there i can of course, laughs. but going back to the movie...really to make it short i forgot how good it was at the beginning bec. of its lackluster ending, the big true disappointment. it is done now? but where is the big bang at the end? yes, the beach view was great, the fights that is just too much and never ending is mind boggling. how did they shot that? okay, it started with a bang but ended in a whimper...it killed the good things at the earlier part of the movie. see, what will you remember most is the ending but this movie failed to make it a memorable one, sad. although Craig did well playing the part. the ladies though is, it could be better :) and yes, if you were betrayed by the one you loved bec. she was black mailed? would you want to know why? and who was behind it? unmeasurable sorrow and despair indeed and a very close up and personal matter for agent 007...love and betrayal, ouch, that is the hurt that is hard to go away...but who could be trusted in this life anyway, tell me :) i don't even think that i was trusted then. this one instance that i remembered. people ordered some stuffs from here just to make sure that they'll have proof where i am coming from, laughs. but really even if you don't care...i don't lie and i value trust more than money or diamonds. integrity, honesty and the truth are very important to me. if you don't have these be very careful for i can sense it even you're that far away, laughs. believe it or not but you'll be better off if you do and you are now forewarned, laughs. it's your life, your call, but my decision at the end :)
on how do we speak...I've been where i am for half of my entire life so I've gotten into their way of conversing in their own native tongues. i do understand the frustrations of people in my country of origin for if i read their way of writing it is quite different from what i am used to now. you won't know how one lives not unless you are living on the same roof and i am fully aware of that. this is just similar so to speak. it is just a matter of adjustment. i will meet you as you will meet me but pls. no bad words for it is not allowed :)
