A movie and a few days out of town

I managed to watch the movie The Da Vinci Code on the last full show of its first day of showing here in the Philippines (May 18). Though I feel terrible to admit it, my expectations of this much-hyped film was not met. The movie that I made up in my mind was way more intense. Tom Hanks was too plain, the French girl was too boring and the movie was either too fast or too dragging. Perhaps the only saving grace of the movie was the performance of Paul Bettany as Silas. Also, I think religious activists and conservativists should really be stopping all these crusades against the film because really, its not worth it.

The next day, I was on my way to the beautiful province of Aklan. I enjoyed myself at Basang Cold Springs (not too cold in the morning, close to freexing in the afternoon!) and got pissed off with a lot of things in Boracay. The place is really too commercialized for comfort! The people (locals and non-locals who do business in the island) of Boracay ought to do a personality check of themselves coz if they continue the way they do business, Boracay might be turning from a paradise to a dump!
