The Dark Knight Rises

Being a big fan of the Batman franchise, I couldn't help myself but to book a ticket for The Dark Knight Rises weeks before it opened on July 19th. Of course, if not because of the classes, I would book a ticket to see the flick on its first screening, which was on 1100 hours at GSC Paradigm Mall.

So how was it?

The epicness and grandiose have no limits. I admit the plot is quite common especially towards the end, but Chris Nolan did a great job weaving it to a point that I was so engrossed in the scenes and couldn't care to think of what's next.

Anyway, I'm not going to review the movie, and since writing further will spoil it for those who haven't had a chance to the cinema, let me finish it here.

"The legend ends."

Bad days

Things aren't really going in my way nowadays. Almost everyday I wake up to live another boring and a bit (currently) frustrating life.

And almost every night I feel not like sleeping just to see if the day can get any good at the end, which never does happen.

It's a vicious cycle. I'm not saying I've given up, though I kind of a few months back, costing me two F results in hand. By giving up I mean in studies. Not because it's hard, not at all, considering my line of engineering requires no actual critical thinking. But I just found it boring, so I kind of stopped taking in. Instead, I spent time on movies and TV series (Family Guy fan here). Furthermore, I don't want to be a tool, or a human wiki. You know, people who you can ask stuff or make use of. Who are married to their laptops and books.

Thing is, I feel underachieving. In fact, I feel deprived of stuff to do. I live a day no different than the other. Wake up, go to class, do some social, eat, sleep, eat, a bit of listening to the increasingly boring lectures, go home, get online, eat, and sleep. Sadly and unfortunately, the weekends are no different. I can assure you there's not any thrill in between.

I've often said I want to change my life before I hit the 20s. Apparently, very little progress, if any, I've made since I last said I want to become awesome.

I don't know what's wrong. Perhaps I think and worry too much.
