episode 3: WOW!

late yesterday, things were not going so well. i had a project that was hanging on the balance--and of course, client wouldn't get back to me til the last minute. then came the strong rains. and the electricity fluctuations in the office. i was beginning to get disappointed, and i was on my way to throwing up my hands and giving up! rye was already at glorietta, and i was still stuck in ortigas at quarter to 7, amid strong winds and rain. i tried using my umbrella, but that really didn't help much. i spent several minutes trying desperately to get a cab. (yes, it was that bad, that going against all i believed in, i decided to get a cab. alone. at night.) finally, finally, finally--after walking back and forth, and maybe even in the middle of the driveway, i found a nice little white kia (bernie & benjie cab), got in, closed the door. then, and only then did i tell the driver: "ma, glorietta po". and alleluia! he didn't complain or anything.
so there i was in the tiny kia cab, going down EDSA, where there were few cars and buses, probably fearing the rain. and we got to glorietta 4 in less than 30 minutes. yehey!
as a bonus, rye and i were able to chat a bit before the movie. and managed to take a picture together too! (missed you!)

bear in mind, this was after i went through, literally, wind and rain to be at the premiere.

so you all know i'm not an expert nor a die-hard fan, but i do like "star wars". and i loved episode 3!!! however you look at it, it's a great film. the cinematography is wonderful--with the different shots and angles--a visual feast! the story and character development are tight. the musical scoring is very appropriate and moving. i wasn't too happy about hayden's acting (sorry, guys!), but natalie portman, samuel l. jackson, jimmy smits, and of course, ewan macgregor are amazing. ewan is so gorgeous! despite the full beard and all! yoda is sooo cool! and now it all makes sense...well, practically. i have to watch episodes 4-6 now. (thanks to dennis for lending me his original boxed set!)
wonderful movie!
**oh, and yes, the answer to the question "where did princess leah get the idea for the hair??" was sort of answered.:D**
