There is an impending long weekend here in Hong Kong. Good Friday and Easter Monday sandwiching the weekend. Then if that isn't enough 3 days later another holiday; Ching Ming it is the Chinese equivalent to the Pinoy's All Souls/Saints day. To elaborate more (ooh! I'm getting very technical LOL), its the day when people visit they're departed relatives and friends. My family does the Ching Ming a couple weeks early to avoid the people swarming cemeteries. The main reason why you want to avoid the Ching Ming Rush is that Chinese has a tradition to burn offerings. It's a belief that the stuff you burn will be sent to your relatives and as most people you would like to see the offering completely burn. Most of the cemeteries has limited burning facility so imagine the queue!
The office has been slow recently as well, at least for me. So I've decided to bring some movies to watch whilst waiting for any service calls. As I've previously posted I bought "The Mist" and "Sadako 3D", since then I still haven't watched them. The Mist is based on Stephen King's novel about a father and son together with other townsfolk trapped in a local grocery store. The thrill or fear factor of the movie is that there are creatures lurking in the mist that brings fear to the cast which in the end makes them all turn against each other. Sadako 3D I reckon is a continuation from the last iteration but done in recent time but the kicker is that if you read the description from the box it's like Castlevania. It's like reviving Dracula but in this movie reviving Sadako. The movie is now based in a school where a teacher and drag queen... err... I mean a real life yaoi is trying to defeat the person trying to revive Sadako and abuse her powers. Sooooo... I'm gonna bring them to the office tomorrow to watch. I'm a very big fan of horror movies but I'm afraid of supernaturals. I don't know, I probably watch these videos and movies to have that feeling of being alive and that there are a lot more possibilities in and after life.
I'm watching episode 5 of My Ghost Story. I like this episode better than the last one. The proofs on these episode are more visible and clear. I've also noticed that season 6 of My Ghost Story has gone international. They have stories from Canada and Ireland. They seem to be also trying to reach out to the Latin community with a couple of Latino stories. But I still think the people featured in the show, most of them are loaded; a few did go bankrupt in the end. A lot them were buying massive homes, but probably stupid as well because most of them would say "I bought the house knowing something was in there". Really? Back to the episode, I also liked the "Scared-necktady" about a house in New York because the activities are really visible and strong. A ball moving, I haven't seen that since season 1 or 2 that was. The chandelier was also moving. It was very interesting because this segment had a lot of video evidence as opposed to pictures. I also liked "The lost lass of Charleville" because it is also like watching Grand Designs as well. It's a castle in Ireland being haunted by a young girl who fell to her death; falling done the stairs. The pictures they have captured are also very fascinating, you can the girl's image, orbs and mists. As most shows, this episode saved the best for last, "My Name is Mudd" is about a house in Maryland. Watching these houses it is in the middle of nowhere but somehow I'm getting older and seems to long for that kind of environment. This segment is a bit of a history class, because Dr. Mudd was a confederate conspirator out to assassinate Lincoln. So blah blah blah just watch the episode. They caught isolated mists, a full body apparition and very clear EVP's.
In my reality office, like I said its getting slow. My colleague asked me to watch The Office UK by Ricky Gervais. I know it's a highly rated and praised show but that said something about an obnoxious boss is pissing me off. It could be that it is reflecting something in real life, maybe not with a boss but people in the office that resembles the character. Aside from the obnoxious character, something about the format makes me feel that the actors very low energy or probably the editing. I will give it another try especially when I am in a good mood because I do get most of the jokes. But for now I switch to Miranda in between. I love Miranda, but she is a giant and slightly too small of a head. But when they doll her up she is pretty. I love her friend Stevie, makes me want for my Besties. It since to have people who understand you and you can feel comfortable to make fun and judge other people. Don't be a Saint, I know you guys judge inside your head too. Tom Ellis is also so handsome, a definite heartthrob. Her mom Patricia Hodge is also very cleverly created that perfectly fits the whole cast. Her interactions with Miranda is also very funny. What I've noticed with UK shows... They don't really have lots of episodes. Unlike American shows, each season can go for about 20-24 episodes. Well, probably also because American shows hires a lot Jewish writers for each episode while UK shows only have like 5-6 writers for the whole season.
