Les Choristes

Met Joma, a college friend, by accident at the mall while waiting for Lucee and Maggie. Twas really good to see him, and we caught up on things while having iced tea with mint at Cibo. He told me how things were at the call center, while i pretty much rantred about work and the ex-factor. Hahaha. God, it's been such a long time since i've seen people from the college!

Watched Les Choristes (The Choir), a french film at Cinema 6 last night with the "Straight Posse" and my housemate (hehhe). Twas a funny and really sweet film, and well, i was pretty much gushing about how cute those kids were all throughout the movie. I especially love the character of Pepinot, this orphan kid whose parents ( they died during the Nazi's takeover) left him at the boys' dorm, promising to pick him up on a Saturday. (He's the kid in the middle). Poignant and very endearing. these feature astounding voices of the main characters as well as the very lovable chracter of their supervisor, Monsieur Clement (? --- dunno if that's right). Awww!

What bummed me was that some guy was sleeping while the movie was going on --- and snoring. Ahh. nothing like the sound of a snore to accompany little boys' lovely voices during the chorus of the "Baldy Song". :-P

Moved to Xaymaca after the movie, where we barely caught Reggae Mistress's 1st set. Twas good, Lucee was kinda disappointed her fave musician wasn't there to play, but otherwise, the crowd was forgiving and the band was kickin'. Got to meet Yanny again! He looks good, and from our "chat" he's doing great. :-) We also got to meet one of Jason's Full bright friends, Adele, who's starting her internship/job at the Palace come Monday.

Good English is a state of mind

It's funny. People somehow think that i come from the States, or that i've lived there for some time. Why is that? Geez! I only wish i have been there. To a certain degree, i am kinda flattered they thiink so, having been here all my life, but i also feel disappointed in a way. Does this mean that people have certain expectatiuons of people who have lived here all their lives? Do they put people like me into a certain category wherein i "don't speak good english/don't know how to be proper"? The astounded look i was given last night from some people was somewhat a pleasant/unpleasant kind of reception. Is it so hard ot believe that there ARE people from the province who can speak good english and be as fluent as those who have been from other countries?? Hmmm...
