And i wouldve enjoyed the day off more if the office didnt keep calling! they even called me during the ceremony - i missed the screenplay awards coz of them! sucked! and i didnt have a full afternoon nap - my mind was on this work related problem! so yea, not a very good day, especially since all the wrong people won at the oscars too!

back to 'that' bag of cheetos! It took me three nights to finish the one bag! I dont feel as bad now - but still, its a whole bag in my belly!!!!! And lately, ive been eating and eating, and eating! Been eating a lot of cashew nuts lately too - but i guess theyre ok, coz theyre dry roasted with no oil or salt. Just the way i like em. And nuts if eaten raw like this are meant to have good health benefits right ? This one dude in the office said its so good for your boy-milk - or did he mean almonds. Coz hes always eating almonds (but the salted version!)

i would get dry roasted almonds, the non-salted, healthy variety - but theyre way too expensive here! Cashews are just cheaper i guess - and i prefer their taste!! I ate like 10 handfuls just now - so yea, im gonna pay for it in pilates tomorow dude, its not 'off' topic now is it? Hmmmm, ringys trying to moderate me now - told u he was jealous!

ok then, like u said, back to the topic! I just noticed that in our current cinema listings in the newspaper today, Shallow Ground (yes, its still in the cinemas - we do love our rocky here in asia!) has a PG rating - which is so weird, since people get sliced and diced and rocky is covered in blood from head-to-naked toe! I cant remember its original rating in the US, but i just checked my DVD and it says PG 13!!!!!! so which one is its correct rating!?

Just imagine if he did visit...he would probably be swamped and have his clothes ripped off...and that's just by shallowboy...hehe... They show the MPAA rating as R...I am wondering what got cut (if anything) or is it just too tame for your neck of the woods...

yea too tame for us - hehehe nakedness with a hankie on the privates only warrants a PG here heheh Im sure the PG means a very heavily censored version tho! Unfortunately! Anyways - like i said, the rating system means nothing here in the cinemas. Ive seen babies being brought into the cinema during horror movies. And during a screening of Land of the Dead, this white couple brought in their small daughter, so it aint only the locals not paying attention to the rating systems. And the stores arent any better. I could send an 8 year old to any DVD store to buy, say Basic Instinct, and he could get away with it! Im not too sure if the 8 yr old could get away with buying a pack of smokes either - but i wouldnt be suprised!

I am sure we are a bit more on the prudish side...and, yes the rating systems are a joke, but they are much more strict here...that and the fact that they actually send people out to try to get into movies when they are underage...send people out to buy cigarettes while they are underage and buy alcohol too...all while underage...then they get fined.

ive actually snuck into a movie once - heheh it wasnt coz i was underage, it was coz we just didnt wanna pay! This was in college. And you would think it was me and a bunch of guys doing this, but it was this bunch of goody goody asian girls (you know the type!!) - im like seriously? your gonna sneak in (to campus cinema!)? And the perk of being a goody goody asian is that noone suspects you ! heheeh ive seen some of the typical 'frat' guys get thrown out for sneaking in! heeheh

well i would never try to sneak into a proper cinema. A campus cinema doesnt count hehehe coz those are makeshift cinemas (lecture theatres converted in the evenings ) Im sure i could sneak into a cinema tho here - the one i go to has a back door entrance which people use for the toilets. And i could so easily sneak into a theatre from the toilets. Just hav to make sure i know which cinemas hav empty seats thats all!

Well, still it's a cinema...well, can't you just ask if the seat is taken? People do change seats, don't they?
