so i feel like blogging again but without anything to blog about. as ive mentioned in my previous post, whenever i would feel like this, ill try to post a "top 5 list". so here goes...
here's my top 5 list of movies i saw this year on DVD/VCD. they are not necessarily released this year, but this year was when i saw them. at home, on DVD/VCD. by myself mostly.
1. the holiday
2. sleeping dogs lie
3. stranger than fiction
4. miss potter
5. the painted veil
criteria for being on this list is the number of times i saw the movie again or portions of it. i think the first one on the list, i saw more than four times already. really good movie. and the rest at least twice. there is one i should put on this list as well, which is "under the tuscan sun", starring one of my favorite actresses, Diane Lane of "Jack" and "Must Love Dogs". saw this movie twice as well. however, the genre and theme for "tuscan" is very much similar to "the holiday" so i thought that putting "tuscan" on the list would make it a bit redundant and lacking in variety. i also have an "issue" with one of the scenes in the movie... where Diane Lane was dancing alone in her bedroom... it was a little over-acting. actually "the holiday" had a similar scene as well... also, a little OA.
in any case, that's it for now. let me know what you think of the list :)

my top 5 things you can do to save this Christmas
so i came up with an idea to list down some "top 5's" whenever i feel the urge to post something to this blog while not quite being sure about the topic yet... today, i will write about my top 5 things to do in order to save up on some money and energy this Christmas. im not very big on savings myself, lately so this is actually for me as well:
1. eat well before leaving the house and bring bottled water with you when you go to the mall. having snacks at the mall every now and then would eat up budget that you could otherwise use to buy gifts or small tokens for acquaintances.
2. make a shopping list and figure out if you can buy items together from the same store as there could be discounts for a bigger purchase. or free items such as calendars or planners :)
3. utilize the free gift wrapping services of the malls. saves you gift wrapping cost and time.
4. shop with friends! it's more fun, and you can share cab afterwards :)
5. aside from going to the malls, consider other gift sources such as tiangge and bazaars. buying christmas goodies from friends or your other relatives maybe a good idea too as they are usually even cheaper than bazaar prices and sometimes better-tasting too. you not only save up yourself but you also help others earn during the holidays :)
that's it. if you like this post and have a thing or two to add you're welcome to comment on the post.
