The night I watched School of Rock

I almost didn't make it on time today. Why? Me and my sisters watched SCHOOL OF ROCK last night and we finished it around 2:00 AM. My sister Kristelle bought some PIRATED VCDs (pun intended)and we decided to watch this one since its GP and my younger sisters can watch with us also.
I've been dying to see this movie on the big screen but work, allowance, and scarcity of companion or buddy had prevented me in doing so. Anywayz, the movie turned out really the way I expected it. We had a blast watching it and laughing with all the antics and schemes Dewey Finn (Jack Black) had pulled off to coaxed the kids to start a rock band.
All the time while watching the movie, I cannot help but think how cool it is to have a teacher like that. I certainly can't remember ever having a teacher who had encouraged us to believe in ourselves and show the world what kind of stuff we're made of and develop our talents in singing, dancing, playing instruments etc. Our music teacher in grade school was not only an old maid but had persistently forced us to sing those
"aawitan kita" songs in ala Sylvia La Torre voices. Hahaha!!! The only songs I want to sing back in those days were Andrew E, Francis M and those english dirty rap songs by ... those dirty rappers (can't remember the names, eh).
Kudos to Jack Black for being so rockingly funny in this film. Its not a surprise really because Black is a real life rocker/musician but in a not-so-serious type like Mayers, Mraz and Sheik but being half of the duo Tenacious D.
