Apocalypto...when?
I can't breathe. My nose is clogged. I have a splitting headache from the pressure building up around my ears and nose due to the mucous that has been clogging my nostrils for the past few days.
Forgive me for being a tad too graphic. I just hate having a cold. I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't speak properly. My ears hurt from the pressure I exert whenever I have to blow my nose (which is every two minutes), the skin around my nose is now sore and flaky from constantly being in contact with tissue paper. Ahhh cawwwn't bweethe, dhommet!!!

Anyway, I had planned on watching Mel Gibson's Apocalypto on the big screen, but the bus I got in on my way back to Makati had it on their DVD player, I couldn't help but watch!
The "bida" was obviously having a bad day. His village was ransacked, he had to hide his preggy wife and son in a well, he was taken captive by the intruders and made to cross forests and waterfalls while bound by his neck to a bamboo pole. When he arrives at the intruders' city he was almost sacrificed to the gods, so many mishaps happen to him before he was able to fulfill his promise to his wife that he would come back for them.
And that was how I interpreted the movie, the moral lesson is: If there is a will, there is a way. Kung gusto maraming paraan. Kung ayaw, maraming dahilan.
I was seated towards the back of the bus and could hardly read the subs, but I was still able to thoroughly enjoy the movie. Perhaps not in the way that Mel Gibson had intended me to enjoy or interpret it, but I really thought it was fun!
Jaguar Paw would have been the perfect man for a spoiled and demanding girl like moi. He promised to return, and he did. Despite blood-thirsty priests, a javelin wound, a jaguar, a band of men after him and a waterfall to scale - he was able to hold true to his promise. Against all odds.
Now where can I find a man like that?
