I'm sorry... but I didn't like "The Artist"... I think the academy got it wrong this year... I like "Hugo" far more...


I have no problem with it being in black and white and that it was a silent film... but then, I guess I was expecting something from it, some grandeur...? Something exciting...? something more fun...? I don't know... and the story was annoying and almost silly... they say it is a story of an actor who was not able to coupe up with the changes, the end of the silent movies and the advent of talkies... the main character just struck me as stubborn... he bought his downfall to himself and that I didn't feel pity on him... "Singing in the Rain" have the same subject, but the characters struggled to coupe up with it and ultimately succeeded... "The Artist" until the end stayed stubborn not wanting to do anything about talkies...

  

I was at RITM yesterday... got myself 3 months supply of ARV... that's done...


I was hoping I was to finally have my CD4 count... but then, 1st I was told that I have paid my Philhealth for this quarter only, I need to pay for the next quarter and to submit an updated MDR before I can have my CD4... It was explained to me that I should pay the quarter about to start and not before it ends, which was what I was doing... I was also advised that if I have the money, it would be a good idea to pay for the rest of the year already as Philhealth would increase contribution by July... 


And even if there was no problem with my Philhealth, they have problems with the CD4... machine, I guess... that I need to be scheduled for it...


Funny thing was that... well, aside from my neuropathy, I am not feeling anything... I feel fine... not been sick lately... so I have no cause to consult or have myself checked up by a doctor... to which in my past visit I was always asked, why would I want to consult the doctor... So when I went there yesterday, I had no plans on having myself checked up... but then they insisted I should... but then again, it was lunch break already and decided to just give me the meds... 


hehehehehehehehehe...

Still on "Games of Thrones", the first installment of George R.R. Martin epic fantasy "A Song of Ice and Fire", Across the narrow sea was Viserys and his sister Daenerys Targaryen... They are the   the children of King Aerys II, the "Mad King", who was depose by King Robert's rebellion... they survived the slaughter of the house of Targaryen and now on exile... Viserys was determined to return one day at Westerous to reclaim his throne... To do that he would need to raise an army to overthrow King Robert... He sold his sister in marriage to Karl Drogo, a warlord of Dothraki horse warrior...

Karl Drogo show little interest in conquering Westerous, provoking the temperamental Viserys and lashing out on his sister, who unexpectedly fell inlove with the barbaric Drogo... at first Karl Drogo endures Viserys but then when he publicly threaten the pregnant Deanerys in public, he executed him by pouring hot molten gold on his head--the golden crown as promised...

King Robert, learning that Deanerys was now a queen of Dothraki and was pregnant, saw her a threat to his throne, and so ordered to have her assassinated... a failed attempt on her life convinced Karl Drogo to conquer the Westerous but was wounded while sacking villages to fund the invasion... The wound festers, and Daenerys commands a captive maegi to use blood magic to save him; however, the treacherous maegi sacrifices Daenerys' unborn child to power the spell, which keeps Drogo alive in a vegetative state. As the leaderless Dothraki horde disbands, Daenerys takes pity on her once-proud husband and smothers him. Eager for revenge, she orders the maegi tied to Drogo's funeral pyre and places her three petrified dragon eggs, a gift to her on her wedding, on the pyre with Drogo. While she watches it burn, Daenerys was seduced by the beauty of the flames and walks into the inferno. Instead of perishing in the flames, she emerges unscathed and with three newly-hatched dragons draped around her. The few remaining Dothraki swear their allegiance to her.
