Being Clarice

"Is this Clarice? ..Well, hello Clarice!" is the world famous Dr. Lecter line in the film Hannibal.

Sometimes, when I think of my name in random moments, I can't seem to accept that I was named Clarice by my parents; by my mom (truly unbelievable!).

My mom said I was named after our neighbor named Mariz. That name sound surely "close" to my name, eh? If I wasn't named Clarice, I would probably have been named Casmer. Lol :P From mother-name-combined-with-father naming way of a kid. Cas - from my Dad's name Casto and Mer - from my mother's name Mercedes. Very clever right? Ew.

I'm so thankful for the Hannibal movie, it made me famous. Whenever I meet smart people, they greet me like Dr. Hannibal after introducing myself. It's the same way how I feel for having a 9/11 birthday.. Okay, I am taking that back, I am NOT at all thankful about the whole tragic event. It’s just that, somehow, people tend to remember my birth day.

Aside from Clarice played by Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal movie where Clarice was played by Julienne Moore, there are two more other American films that I know of where the name Clarice was used to a character.

First, Sleepless in Seattle, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Clarice is played by Amanda Maher (never heard of her) and she's a baby sitter in the movie.
Second, It Takes Two, starred by the young Olsen twins. Clarice is the twin's wicked-vain-crazy
Fiancée of their father.

I thought there are only few Clarice in this world when I was younger. But this though all comes to an end when:
  • I was in grade 4, a girl named Clarice appeared on the scene.
  • It was on my 2nd year in High School, when there was one more Clariss. Her name was spelled differently though.
  • After graduating from college, the first time I applied for a job, I met “Clarice” while on long queue.
  • When I crashed to a college friends' apartment here in Metro Manila, I met another Clarisse.
  • On my first job, I have met another Clariz, from the HR department, one of the first people I met in the company.
On my bucket list? To know a person who named their kid after me. ;) Exciting!

I don’t know how many more Clarices are out there until I get to meet them. And when I do, I'll say -- Well, hello Clarice!

Cookie Mother

How I wish I could bake some cookies!
Just so I could have something inside
my bag that I could give out to those
kids in need instead of giving them
dirty filthy coins.

What Science Can't Explain

FACT

A human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during an average 66 year lifespan.

The human brain contains roughly 15–33 billion neurons, perhaps more, depending on gender and age.

The human eye can distinguish about 16 million colors.

Why Do Filipinos Go To STARBUCKS?


ONE. To enjoy coffee.


TWO. To use the wifi access.


THREE. To take pictures with their Starbucks papercup and that famous green staw.

Crazy.

*kablog!

I started blogging back in Nov/Dec of 2007. I had bukopie157 as my username in multiply. I deleted it. I didn't like it. I started all over again and created a new one, http://rice237.i.ph. I got tired and deleted it as well.

Blogging suits me best.

These following four people inspired me. I, on the other hand, in some way, copied their blogging style. Occasionally, I envy these people for how they enjoy, appreciate and live life to the fullest (and the fact that they are beautiful people too!).

Who'd You Rather?



He's the hottest news anchor ever! Though he only speaks German and doesn't speak English when reporting, I still watch the news! The only problem? I don't know his name, 'cos he only speaks German! He's even hotter than Jeff Glor of Saturday edition of CBS Evening News. So, Anderson Cooper, eat your heart out.

Who'd you rather?
Him with shorter hair?
Him with a little longer hair?
