->Ok so far i've seen 23 films, 15 of which i have watched prior to seeing this list, 4 - out of boredom (you know how at home you all of a sudden see old VCDs lying around and tend to watch them) and 4 - upon seeing this list. All of them are great , of course that's why their on the list, but i 'd have to say my favorite ones would be, The Godfather I and II, Citizen Kane, The Shining, The Wizard of Oz and Finding Nemo!!

Next on my list would be :

*The Shawshank Redemption (thanks to TV links)
*Life is Beautiful (thanks to my friend Mike who let me borrow his VCD)

Look's like i got a long way to go..

The games that play us

Saturday, May 5, 2007

Stratagem

I played hide and seek with fear of getting caught as I peek through your thoughts
I tried to hide as best as I could
but always you found me
And each time I told myself I’d play better
Afraid to lose this game,
I move swiftly passed shadows
But you saw everything
You showed me that hiding was a waste of time
A subterfuge that made me weak

A day never passed without you by my side
And now I’m poisoned by the flame
I could feel its warmth inside of me
A breath I can taste before it even escapes my lungs
I long for you in your absence
A yearning that pounds from within
And wander in this realm set forth by your charm

Insensitive to this game
you never noticed
For all this was child’s play to you
Yet and still, I sought for the best moment
to surrender myself in your arms
I swam across thousands of thoughts and emotions
Until I summoned courage
that pulled me back to reality

And in that moment I embraced the truth
I can only be with you
In my dreams
As I sleep
With just a bat of an eyelash
I was crushed
Game over

Today is Labor Day

Tuesday, May 1, 2007

To be or not to be that is the question that i have been asking myself…errr…"what to be?" is more like it..hehehe

It all starts when you graduate high school, of course you're young, eager to learn new things and of course, full of hopes and dreams and aspirations. At least for me that's when it started, i wouldnt count the part of my life when is was…hhmmm…let's say, still trading my peanut butter and jelly sandwich for combos! Cuz back then i told myself i wanted to be a doctor. But as i grew up my mother made me realize that we cant afford that hehehe so back to after high school we go..

About

Hi Im Penny. Im a Solutions Architect slash Subject Matter Expert in some big company working for another big company that deals with transmission of digital data through loops and loops of the local telephone networks in the US. Welcome to my, little as it may be, space on the interwebs where I attempt to paint a picture of what goes on in my brain using words. A rather futile effort in making boredom seem interesting. Prepare to be amazed! Well, NO, not really.
