Boys, just do it!——Tell her you think shes cool. Tell her why you think shes so cool. Smell her hair. Talk to her in movie theatres. Pick her up and pretend youre going to throw her in the river; shell scream and fight you but secretly, shell love it. Hold her hand and skip. Hold her hand and run. Just hold her hand. Pick flowers from other peoples gardens and give them to her. Tell her she looks pretty. Let her pay for stuff if she wants to. Introduce her to your friends as The coolest girl I know. Sit in the park and talk to her. Take her to the library, and playgrounds, and train stations. Tell her dirty jokes. Tell her stupid jokes. Write poems about her. Just walk around with her. Throw pebbles at her window at night. When she starts swearing at you, tell her you love her. Take her to shows of bands shes never heard of. Hold her hand in the mosh pit. Let her fall asleep in your arms. Call her. Call her back if she calls you. Sing to her, no matter how bad you are. Carve your names into a tree. Get her mad, then kiss her. Give her piggy-back rides. Go see her band play even if they really suck, and tell her they were great. Give her space if she needs it. Push her on swings. Stay up with her all night when shes sick. Make up pet names for her, but cool ones, not sappy ones. Teach her guitar. Lend her your cds. Write on her. Make her mixtapes. Write her letters. If she asks you to go to a show with her, go, even if it means a 5 hour train trip. Take her to cool shops, and let her take you to even cooler ones. Listen to all the bands she mentions. Dont tell her that her favorite bands suck. When shes sad, hang out with her or stay on the phone with her, even if shes not saying anything. Buy her ice cream. Let her take all the photos of you she wants. Look into her eyes. Slow dance with her, even if the music is fast. Kiss her in the rain.When you fall in love with her, tell her. <3

This is so true!!!!!

“Kat: How can anyone be afraid of love?
 

I'm proud to be a BATANG BATIBOT!!! hehe. Watching this clip, reminds me of my childhood where life was just so simple and innocent and lovely and well just simply happy.
Hay bigla maraming memories. Si Madame Bola, si Kiko Matsing who was so adorable. Halatang matanda na..hehe. Hmmm...this gives me idea on what to write on my next post. Anyway just want to share this.

one of my favorite scenes in the movie 200 pounds beauty. It makes me cry.

I want this jump....

 Summer is officially here...

Let's jump again to that.:)

Congratulations to all the 82nd Oscar's winners!!! LOL. Yes feeling close ako kanila. Had a chance to watched it yesterday coz I was absent from work. (Masama ang loob ng tyan ko at ibinuhos niya lahat kahapon..hahah!)

It's really one of the mega events in Hollywood especially for all movie makers and of course actors. A lot of firsts happened. First time nominees end up instant winners. Such great accomplishments since it's so damn hard to get a nomination nod in Oscars much more to be chosen as the best among the "bests".

Sandra Bullock from the movie The Blind Side won as the Best Actress- her first. Competing with the great Meryll Streep wow...what can I say! I believe she deserves it. (yes, feeling close na naman ako..haha).

And Katheryn Bigelow defeated her ex husband James Cameron for the Best Picture and Best Director categories for the movie The Hurt Locker. Making instant history as the fist woman ever to won an Oscar in directing.  I've never seen the movie but I'm planning to watch soon.

It might be a dissapointment somehow for Avatar fans out there that it didn't get most of the awards as it expected to be but being the no.1 movie in the box-office(take note in the whole wide world)..is already an award in itself.

And I was so happy beacause as I wished UP won in the Best Original Score category..YEY! Love it!

Once again, Congratulations!!!

"That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a lifetime, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."

Kapag wala kang magawa at marami kang iniisip...minsan nakatulala ka na lang. These photos  are taken 4 days ago..yung iba ako ang kumuha at yung iba kuha ng boardmate ko. I'm actually thinking something to write about on my blog as i promise myself to write regularly. Pero wala rin naisip. This post is not intended to change the world nor inspire whoever will read this. Nalaman ko lang na ganito pala ang itsura ko kapag nag-iisip..LOL!









Kaya ayun yung dinner ko na bigay ng kapitbahay(heheh) lumamig na.
Yummy!!!!

Last night we had a fight. A senseless fight. There are things I shouldn't have said. I know I've hurt you..maybe not your feelings but your ego. But I want you to understand that I was hurting too.I guess I've said those words just to let you know that I'm there...always there by your side. I was actually calling for your attention.

its intriguing how much i know you yet at the same time don't know you..do you know the feeling of being so near and yet so far from you? It's sad...


Yes maybe I was over reacting...and over acting. 


That's why I'm so sorry. Sorry for showing too much concern and affection tho I am not supposed to. Sorry for missing you. Sorry If I *******.... I'm sorry.


(I wanna talk to you...though I don't know how to.) 
(Will you allow me?) Or should I?....

Got this e-mail this morning tho I decided not to mention the source.
Election is here definitely. I can feel the heat everywhere. Actually it's hotter than the onset of Summer, I guess even hotter than El Nino that it goes deeply into my skin it makes me so dizzy.

I don't know if this is what you call a black propaganda against Villar. Even other Presidentiables has this kind of anti campaigns and even funny anecdotes about them spreading in the e-mails and top social networking sites. For me in a way this anti campaigns help us voters to be more inquisitive, to be more careful, and wiser in choosing our next leader for the next 6 years. Though I believe some of those anti campaigns for one particular candidate just add confusion to people's minds on who to vote.
"Bakit ko ito nasabi?"
Dahil naniniwala ako na karamihan sa mga anti-campaigns na ito ay gawa rin ng mga kaalyado ng isang partikular na kandidato o maaring siya rin ang nasa likod nito. Kumbaga may halong malisya." He's doing it for his own personal gain.
And I find it disgusting. I find one Presidentiable who throws mud at other Presidentiables just to win the vote of people so disgusting. I mean sino ba ang malinis sa inyo?

In the e-mail above, Villar is portrayed as evil. Tho not directly it tries to imply that he is a corrupt official behind the mask of a poor guy. They criticize Villar because he's wearing signature and designer clothes.
Then they ask "Ganito Ba ang Tunay na Mahirap?

And now I ask: Does a man who came from nothing but now turns to have everything has no right to wear branded clothes and shoes? Does that make him corrupt already? Does that make him not deserving of being the President? So logically speaking we should vote the simpler and poor-looking guy then because he is not corrupt? Is that it?

I'm not pro-Villar. I mean for me he is such a shady candidate. A poor boy from Tondo who raises himself from poverty and now becomes one of the richest man in the Philippines but then has a graft and corruption case. To be honest, up to this moment I still don't have a clear picture on my mind on who to vote. Is it bad? I don't know. I know I have to make my mind soon. All I'm saying is that it's unfair on Villar's part and other able personalities' part who are being criticized and judged based on what their wear and their social status. Let's also give it to the man who works hard just to be where he is now.

Who will be the next President of this country is in our hands. Let us all be observant and open-minded in choosing our candidates. They are all promising to uplift us from poverty, to stop graft and corruption etc. etc.
We have the power to decide, we should it wisely coz once we give that power  to lead to that next to be leader all the power that's left in our hands is to be a good citizen as well.

I've read this excerpt from Bianca Gonzales's blog on choosing the best candidate. And I've decided to copy it here. Read on:

This is a too late review post...but nevertheless such a timeless topic and just in time for Oscars..hehe.
For me one of the best and most unforgettable movies of 2009 is another animated film from Pixar...Up. With 5 Oscars nominations on the bag including the Best Picture contesting Avatar( which I also love by the way) I'm super crossing my fingers that it may grab The Best Original Score...so beautiful (so beautiful I wish i can play the piano).I adore you Mr. Michael Giacchino!



I'm such a movie buff. And I always cry as in mega cry especially if it's such a touching movie... and at times shaking during a very intense, thrilling and action pack scenes..:D After reading Up's reviews I was convinced to watch it on DVD(full of regrets that I wasn't able to catch it on theater during it's actual play dates).
From the very first scene until the last credit rolled... I swear I'm not the same anymore. I may sound so exaggerated but I really am. I never thought it would make me cry really hard. I didn't have a tissue with me at that time that I managed to use my t-shirt na lang...(imagine the tears and oh never mind) ahaha. Yes, it's so gross.

I mean who would expect that an animated film such as Up would really touch people's hearts in so many ways. Yes it has the qualities that all animated films usually have, the visual and special effects, colors and all.But what makes it different is how it successfully voice out its message to the people - people from all walks of life. People like Carl, Ellie and the boy Russel who are searching, dreaming, waiting, loving, hurting,hoping, and learning that the greatest adventure of all is love and that even letting go of that love when the time comes is the ultimate way of showing it.

Up is a movie of enlightenment. Enlightenment that one is never too old or too young to reach his dreams, that we should never stop dreaming, that losing is not a defeat instead a new chance to finally win, that life is like a book full of chapters to fill in with new experiences and memories once an old chapter ended, that heart is capable to love again and again, that everyone deserves to be loved and no doors should be closed to anyone.

Up aside from being an adventure movie is a love story. I admire Carl and Ellie's love for each other despite some things that lack in their marriage...how they dream together and how despite coming on the dawn of their lives, their love towards each other never changes. I want that kind of love story in the future...hehe. I belive that kind of love still exists and I know it will happen.

Therea are so many touching scenes in the movie,(parang sasabog ang dibdib ko nun sa kakaiyak..hehe). It never intended to make you cry but it will. Kumbaga mga eksenang tagos sa puso mo...

So for everyone let's continue to love,live and dream. Always aspire for that badge, for whatever or whoever we always want to be.

 Funny...last heart's day I was happy with him.

The Places Where You Get Off

"Because you live. But very few, love.”

Feb 6-7 are awesome dates of my life! After 3 long years I was able to go back to Tagaytay. Sobrang saya at daming experiences. For me Tagaytay is one of the best place to go to kapag sobrang stress ka na and you want to leave everything that worries you behind.

This is also were another set of "firsts" happened in my life for this year:

1. I was able to ride a horse..yes as in sakay talga. Hindi yung sumakay lang ako sa likod tapos nagpapicture. This is a real horseback riding experience with little horseback riding lessons on the side..hehe. (Salamat kay Ate na guide ko.) At dahil sobrang minahal ko si Diana (name ng horse) heto at nagpapicture kameng dalawa. (shy nga lang siya..:) )











Taal Volacano may not be as tall as Apo or Everest but I'm proud that I am able to reach the peak. And being on top of it is one of the ahhh...moments of my life.





 
And so for that we will jump for success and for another higher aim next time....


In life sometimes it's not the destination that really counts but the journey itself to reach that destination. That's where character builds.

“ Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart. ”

-the wonder years

 

And you...yes you despite everything...will always have a special place in my heart.

Guide to love (2) – Heartbreak

As previously discussed Cupid is a terrible shot. So when aiming for a person's heart with an arrow he frequently misses. This is okay, unfortunately he sometimes hits the target but the arrow does not pierce the heart in the correct manner, the result is heartbreak.
A little biology. Many people assume hearts to be red through and through. This is not true. Hearts all appear red on the outside, however this is due to the outer layer consisting of the rubbery stuff they wrap babybels with.
When a heart gets damaged a tough coal like layer forms under the red outer layer, this is the black part of the diagram. However as time passes without damage the edges soften and a soft pink goo fills in between the black and red layers. This happens every time the heart is damaged, so similarly to with trees you can tell how many times someone has been heartbroken by counting rings. At the centre of all hearts is a fire, however if too many layers form around the heart the warmth of the fire ceases to be able to reach the outside – how sad.

There are seven main types of heartbreak:

1. The arrow sails right through: The result is falling madly in love, albeit briefly, with the first person you see. This can be quite embarrassing in the short term as running up to someone on the street, shouting "I love you!" and grabbing a boob or a crotch is generally frowned upon. However this causes no long term damage to the heart.
2. The arrow glances the heart and cuts it: This is initially very painful. The heart becomes very tender and leads to drunken whining along the lines of "Why don't you love me?" *Sob*. Fortunately the affect usually wears off by morning.
3. The arrow hits the heart but bounces off, leaving a bruise: This is a simple Do-you-want-to-go-out-sometime?-No-thanks situation, rather than a Do-you-want-to-go-out-sometime?-Ewww-you-make-me-want-to-shove-my-fingers-down-my-throat-I-have-to-go-take-several-showers-to-get-rid-of-the-grossness-of-being-asked-out-by-you! type scenario. Again there is no long term damage, but you should take care with the heart for a while, because it will be a bit sore.
4. The arrow digs in, but snaps off leaving a fragment in the heart: This can be quite nasty. This happens when you ask someone out and they say yes, but rapidly lose interest. Ultimately it doesn't cause too much damage, buy it's a bit annoying.
5. The arrow tears a chunk off the heart: The hole means that you are susceptable to developing huge crushes based on physical infatuation. If dealt with correctly this isn't a problem, it only becomes so if you leave the wound open to the elements. Most cases of stalking are a result of carelessness in this area.
6. The heart gets mangled: This happens during messy break ups. In this case Cupid got the shot right, unfortunately your chosen love decides to pull the arrow out with the delicacy of an elephant doing decoupage. This causes mass tissue damage and the heart struggles to survive. It's all kinds of painful.
7. Critical Fault: This is the worst. Cupid again is right on target, but unfortunately the arrow snags on something and is yanked out through the top causing a crack. It's circumstances beyong Cupid's your or anyone else control – it's just a bitch. If not treated carefully the heart can break in two and become completely useless. The common response to this eventuality is to go "ow! ow! ow-ee! ow-ee! ow!

    Laughtrip to si Vice Ganda =))

• (Nakakita sya ng gwapo, di nkapagpigil)
• Vice: Hi, ano pangalan mo?
• Gwapo: Ako po?
• Vice: Hindi sila, may nkikita ka pbang tao? Malamang ikaw, ang tanga. ;)
• (Sa gasoline station, pagbaba nya ng window)
• Gas boy: Magpapagas po?
• Vice: Hindi magpapacofine ako. Malamang magpapagas gasolinahan ‘to db? Alangan magpaconfine ako dto, tpos dextrose ko yung unleaded gasoline nyo, at ayun na yung ikakamatay ko. ;))
• (Sumakay sya ng jeep na walang laman papuntang palengke)
• Vice: Manong bayad po.
• Manong1: Ilan ‘to?
• Vice: Ay manong 2 yan, nkakahiya kasi syo, kahit ako lang mag-isa sakay mo, 2 na ibabayad ko, libre na kita kahit sayo tong jeep. ;)))
• (Bababa na sya)
• Vice: Manong, para.
• Manong1: Bababa ka na?
• Vice: Ay hindi manong, sasakay ako. Sasakay ako ulit, dun nman ako sa bubong, mas presko kasi dun.
• (2nd attempt)
• Vice: Para ho.
• Manong1: Dyan ba sa tabi?
• Vice: Ay hindi manong. Dun ako sa gitna, sa gitna para masagasaan ako.
• (Binaba siya sa gitna)
• Vice mabundol ng isa pang jeep…

My boss (the best boss in the whole wide world...hehe) asked me to scan this comic strip. Aside from the humor we get from the simple inquisition of a son to his father about man's certain attitude towards driving, we realize that it is so true.
Hindi ko alam...hindi ako marunong mag-drive(though I love to learn) kung ano ang nag-uudyok sa isang tao na magalit sa kapwa niya driver sa gitna ng kalsada lalo na kung nagit-gitan siya.
Is it because maybe he has personal issues troubling him and then here comes a reckless driver(maybe drunk, and like him has personal issues as well) in the midst of T.R.A.F.F.I.C and this reckless driver gets on this other guy's way and then boom!...You know what's happen next.

Hindi ko sinasabing mga lalaki lang ang kadalasang walang manners and right conduct sa pagmamaneho. Subalit sila ang madalas na nasasangkot sa mga ganitong gulo sa kalsada. Napakaraming kaso na ng patayan ang nangyari dahil sa simpleng away sa trapik. Kamakailan lang ay nahuli ang isang suspek sa pagpatay sa isang anak ng isang government official dahil muli sa away sa kalsada sa gitna na madugong engkwentro  Ilang beses na din na ako mismo ay nakapanood ng pagtatalo ng 2 drayber dahil hindi nagbigay ang isa.  Mga pagmumura, dirty fingers, mga paghahamon ng away.
At ilang beses na din na bang pinuna ng mga lalaking drayber ang kahinaan ng mga babae sa pagmamaneho? At dahil sa babae ako...nasasaktan ako pag nakakarinig ako ng mga ganitong komento.

Hindi isyu kung babae o lalaki ang may hawak sa manibela at may dala sa sasakyan. Hindi isyu ang kasarian.
Hindi rin isyu kung kanino kang anak, kung mamahalin ang sasakyan mo o simpleng jeep lang. Kung matalino o hindi ka nakapg-aral. Ang isyu ay kung anong klaseng tao ka ba habang nasa gitna ka ng kalsada kasabay ng iba pang mga uri ng tao.

Meet Kiki, Boy Wonder, alive and well after eight days under the rubble of earthquake-blitzed Port au Prince.

Kiki was saved after an incredible operation, in the Nazan district of the Haitan capital, mounted by US earthquake experts.

The heroes and heroines were members of urban rescue squads from New York and Virginia, some of whom had been involved in the 9/11 horrors of New York in 2001.

(i saw this this article and photo and instantly showed us how in the midst of tragedy a simple heroism can touch our hearts and change our lives forever...:)

First times are always unforgettable. I still believe in making resolutions and listing your goals/plans and all the things you want to achieve for the whole year and for the coming years..but mine aint complete yet...hehe.

I started 2010 with a bang I must say. Yes because for the first time (yes as in first) I went to Star City!!!! yipppeee. Akalain nyo ba na sa tagal na ng buhay ko sa mundong ito ay ngayon pa lang ako nakapunta dun...hahah.

Carnivals are always fun. It caters not only to children but adults alike for it brings back the child in all of us na walang ibang iniisip kundi ang magsaya at maglaro.

I didn't dare try to ride death-defying rides like what I call it. Just a thought of it parang mamamatay na ako. But I'm praying that someday I have the guts and courage for I envy those people who dare to try and conquer it. Someday..in the future I will. One item in my bucket list.

For now I would like to share our Snow world adventure (na sobrang na-enjoy kung hindi lang parang namanhid na pati ilong ko sa sobrang lamig) with this picture:
