I was reading the newspaper this afternoon when I came across some interesting stuff. No, I skipped the front page because it’s too depressing, so don’t ask me about the Gloriagate scandal or the E-VAT.

What caught my eye was the line “Johnny Depp and Ralph Fiennes take on whimsical characters in their new films – as … Willy Wonka in ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and as the diabolical Lord Voldemort in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.’” Whoa. Ralph Fiennes? Johnny Depp I could understand. He is, after all, Edward Scissorhands and Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean). I guess “whimsy” is his middle name. But Ralph Fiennes, as in the Ralph Fiennes of “End of the Affair” and “Schindler’s List,” as He Who Must Not Be Named? Kinda surprising for an actor with his caliber, no offense to J. K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe (and Emma Watson *sly grin*).

And then I saw some pictures with captions saying “so-and-so in Iganacio Loyola.” There’s a designer named Ignacio Loyola?! I pity the guy, assuming that it’s his real name. His parents are either very devout follower of St. Ignatius of Loyola or are staunch Ateneans to the core. Or both. They probably sang “Song for Mary” and “Blue Eagle Spelling” instead of lullabies and nursery rhymes.

Anyway… Hmm… What else? I was meaning to tell you about my latest (pathetic) crush but I’m not in the mood to write. Just a teaser: namesake of my recent ex (not him. her.) Such a crazy world. Rather, such a crazy Pau.

Hey, check out my new blog in blog-city. It doesn’t contain anything yet, but I’ve already chosen the theme and put the links to other blogs. Blog-city is cool because amateurs like me don’t need to buy “HTML for Dummies” when designing the webpage itself. I’m still debating on whether to move there for good or stay here until Lorie finds a host that offers both the user-friendliness of Blog-city and html option of Blogspot. What do you think? And what do you think of my new blog? Comments and suggestions? I’ll be waiting.
