More movies..

So I saw Jackie Chan yesterday. A friend had invited me to go to a premiere movie with him at 8 in the morning. Turns out, it was the upcoming film "The Spy Next Door." Jackie made an appearance before the show, just to say hello to the audience. He looked like a busy guy, because he had to run out really quickly after that. After the film, we also saw the three child actors of the movie giving autographs outside the theater. The best thing about all this is that everything was free. Popcorn, drinks, tickets.. all free!

The movie itself was okay. It was a typical, fun Jackie Chan film, and I pretty much expected everything that was going to happen. The target audience is mainly for kids and families, so the humor and story is aimed at them. However, I still found myself chuckling at the corny jokes. It's not bad to see if you like Jackie Chan films, but it's not something that would blow your mind away unless you're 6 years old.

I'm being invited again to go see the premiere of "Extraordinary Measures" on Tuesday evening at the Chinese Mann Theater. Hopefully I can make it that day.

Another trip

It's a bit sudden, but my grandmother asked me if I wanted to go with her and my aunt on a trip to the Philippines on January 25. To tell the truth, I'm a little hesitant on going. A lot of things are happening here in the US, mostly moving and taking care of our house foreclosure.... but at the same time, I don't want to miss this chance to go to the Philippines again. It'll only be for two weeks, so I'll be back by the first few weeks of February.

I still haven't heard back from the situation in New York and it's getting me anxious. I was planning to be there by the end of February, but it seems like those plans won't fall through. I guess that's okay though. I'll move there eventually once the time is right.

It always feels like something is going on. I miss the days when all I had planned for the future was school... instead of having all these uncertainties hanging in the air. I used to be able to make plans 6 months in advanced because I knew nothing was really happening. Now, I don't even know where I'm going to be next month. I guess it is exciting though, both in good and bad ways.
