Song of the Moment LXXVIII: Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”

One of my happiest childhood memories is watching Batman Forever in theaters with my family. It is the first Batman movie I have seen in cinemas, and I thank the film, a VHS tape of Batman Returns, and Batman: The Animated Series on television for igniting my passion for anything Batman. And when I watched it several more times as an adult, well… yes, it is campy overall, but I would pick it over the other Joel Schumacher-era Batman film Batman & Robin primarily because of Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman—serious, conflicted but not too dark which blends well with movie’s vibe.

That is why it’s heartbreaking to learn that Val Kilmer died of pneumonia last April 1. Another Batman is gone. Damn. To soothe the pain, I’m listening to Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”, the second single from the Batman Forever movie soundtrack.

Rest in peace, Val Kilmer and Joel Schumacher. Thank you for the memories.

Song of the Moment LXVIII: My Chemical Romance’s “Disenchanted”

This week, I have decided to listen more to one of my favorite bands when I was in high school, My Chemical Romance. And yesterday, I have been listening to their iconic third studio album, The Black Parade.

Setting aside The Black Parade album’s concept around the character “The Patient”, whenever I listen to the album, I remember my last few months in high school. I remember the day I brought the album on campus discreetly and played it inside our classroom. I remember an old friend (a My Chemical Romance fan since day one) who recommended me to listen to the band’s first album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, and I did so long after. And I remember the night when I wrote the good and bad parts of my senior prom on my first blog, I was drinking an ice-cold Coca-Cola, and track twelve of the album (and one of my favorite tracks as well), “Disenchanted”, was playing in the background.

Oh, the memories. And tonight, “Disenchanted”, is on repeat.

My Chemical Romance’s “Disenchanted”.

That is all.

10-Minute Warning XVI

What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Last night, I finally watched Voltes V: Legacy – The Cinematic Experience with my cousins and Younger Brother. I was so excited to watch it especially since I grew up watching and loving Voltes V. How was the movie? As a fan, it has exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to watch the whole series starting May 8 on GMA 7. (And maybe I should do a full review soon?)

Last week, I may have spent more money than usual. And today I checked whatever was left in my wallet. I still have some money left, but I could have done better. I’m disappointed in myself.

So, here’s my plan: This week and, at least, until payday, I’m not going out unless it’s for exercise. Wish me luck!

Speaking of exercise, tonight I will do that again at Three Trees after a week of having coughs and asthma. I feel so much better now, thanks to the doctor’s prescribed drugs. And I’m charging my phone and power bank before I go out and exercise with Younger Brother.

And time’s up.
