That is the title of the movie i promised myself never to watch again. Saw it a few years back and it left me feeling so down and sick in the stomach, i almost threw up. :(
This is England is a story about a troubled boy who gets into a fight at school and comes across a group of skinheads on his way home. They invite him to become part of their group and they become his new best friends. The story then revolves around these characters and brutal things happen.
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but i found the movie, visually offensive and pointless. And like i said, it almost made me throw up. Incidentally, UK is in a bad light nowadays. Kaya ko siguro biglang naalala yung movie.
Anyways, i still dream of going to England one day. Hope that when that day comes, hindi na uso ang riot at looting sa UK. :)
Oh btw, you may check out this website to know more about the movie and find out if you disagree with me or not. ;)

UPCAT
If there's one thing i'll forever regret, it is this: NOT TAKING THE UPCAT. :(
It's not that i don't like the school where i went to college. As a matter of fact, i do and i'm proud to be a PLMayer. Still, i envy those who went to UP, for the simple fact that UP is UP. But lemme make it clear, i'm not saying that, had i taken the UPCAT, i surely would have passed it and would be a iskolar ng bayan. It could have been otherwise. I guess, i'll never know. :( And that makes me envy more those who took the UPCAT, but unfortunately, didn't pass. At the very least, they were able to experience it and be a part of the "statistics." :D
But seriously, i take my hat off to those who went to UP. There are maybe some who make me say sarcastically, "taga-UP yun?!? parang hindi naman!", but in general, UP peeps are, for lack of a better term, intelligent. And competent. Confident. Aggressive. And the list goes on. ;)
I've read in the news that, this year's batch has the largest number of examinees. Ever. To those who took the exam today, congratulations. You've given it your best. Now's the time to chill and say a little prayer (again), regardless of the outcome. And to those who'll take their turn tomorrow, you should be sleeping now. Don't forget to eat your breakfast. Mahirap mag-isip kapag gutom. ;) Come prepared. But most of all, savor the moment.
Good luck, kids. :)
