the rains have been falling again and i kinda like it. somehow it gives the feeling that mother nature is empathizing with my personal life. now if you don't have any idea how that's going, well, i ain't wastin' my time tellin' ya. just read previous entries.
i still can't take my mind off the dream i had this past wednesday. i dreamt that i was walking out of a room and seeing grasshoppers coming in from a window across the hall. mind you, they're not just grasshoppers, they're big-ass grasshoppers! and i don't mean big like the size of my feet, but they're HUGE!! imagine a bug like that the size of a full grown dog. and the color–it still gives me the creeps everytime i think about it–it's not the light green you see on ordinary grasshoppers, but it's swamp green! i remember being frozen in my tracks and watching them walk towards me. i see four of 'em come into the hall in succession and doing their thing and when they see me, approach me like i'm some big, green leafy grass. yeah, that wasn't a dream, it's a freaking nightmare!! i vaguely remember what happens next, all i know was i was able to walk out of that hall and waking up. freaking bugs…
though i was petrified by that dream, i still became curious as what it meant. so i went to http://www.dreammoods.com to find out what it meant. i was kinda skeptical about finding that there is meaning to dreaming about grasshoppers, but lo and behold, here is what it said:
"To see a grasshopper in your dream, foretells of enemies that will threaten your interest, disappointments in business, or illness. To draw other people's attention to a grasshopper, signifies your indescretion in dispatching your private business."
i was surprised at the interpretation, yet quite unfazed at the warning of enemies that will threaten my interest. i was curious though of the illness part. so, to put two and two together, dreaming of big-ass grasshoppers means i'll be having a major illness coming soon. hmmm… not bad. yet, so what? if it's my time to go, then it's my time. i'm always ready to face death anyway, so thinking about it, i was quite disappointed with the interpretation. i wish it meant more of other things, like wealth or something else. but hey, bugs are omens of famine, so there goes wishful thinking.
speaking of bugs, i saw the trailer of the ant bully in imax 3D. yep, i finally set foot on the imax theater this past friday. of course, superman was on the menu and as what other people i know who saw it there mentioned to me, yeah, all 350 bucks was worth it. the yacht breaking apart was the most awesome scene converted to 3D. way, way awesome. the other trailer that i found cool was happy feet. the penguin was so real i could just grab him and take him home with me. the best thing about the experience was i was seated in the very middle part of the theater. i bought the ticket two weeks in advance and the nice ticketlady gave me the available seat dead-center. the only irritating part was the dirty old man seating next to me with his secreatry being his date (secretary? yeah, right) answering his mobile phone everytime it rang. made me remember the scene from big daddy where little julian made the comment of adam's ex-girl dating a "guy with old balls." i shudder at the thought…ugh…
just when i finally decided to watch pirates of the carribean: dead man's chest the weather turned from gloomy to bad. though i still have the whole day to change my mind (i'm on a two-day vacation including the weekend), i'm leaning towards not getting my ass out of the house and just soaking the cool weather in my room. i never really enjoyed the first installment of the series, so i was skeptical in going out of my way in seeing the sequel. but judging from comments of colleagues and friends who have seen it, made me think twice.
the second half of the year is underway. can't wait till the holiday season….
