Finally..

Seeing the looks on my parent's face seeing me up there on stage receiving my diploma was priceless! it made me feel that for once i make them proud.

HUGE (was)

whose the Biggest Loser now?! my compilation of before and after shot of me during the days that i was being ridiculed of my friends as being "batchoy" and for the record: i lose 50 pounds! in just 1 whole semester. and no, that's not because i take any kind of illegal drugs! (as what my friends suspected it) that was pure and all lean diet. dish out carbs, junkfoods, sodas and deprivation of sleep and rice LOL. wooh! to hell what i have just been through! but hey! its all worth it.

Cinema Paradiso

The first time i have watched this movie was 2 years ago from that moment on i said to myself that "this is one of the best films i have set my eyes on". tbis is also the first film that made me cried buckets of tears! but even thought i was overwhelmed of how great this movie is i was still clinging up for more cos some parts were not actually explained and there's a puzzle that needs to be solve. but then again i thought that that was all it. then two years later, i found out through some research (thanks to wikipedia) that they released a director's cut of this movie and that is where they explained everything! in the director's cut the movie lasted for almost 3 hours long while in the theatricals cut it only lasted for about 2 hours long. as i started to watched it, memories came back on the first day i've seen this film memories of toto and his mischievousness's in the projection booth to his teenage life where he started to fall in love to elena which by the way never worked out between them up to his adult life where he finally convince himself to go back to jingled where he promised alfredo that he will never come home ever again because life in jingled has come to an end for him. there are lots of parts that has been cut from the theatrical was shown in the director's cut that really surprised me, like when toto lost his virginity to the hooker, why boccia didn't came back with the film, why did elena didn't showed up, alfredo betrayed toto and elena, the profession now of toto 30 years later. everything was all explained! and finally the thing i was longing to know about. is that it for toto and elena? ah uh. they've met! well of course elena as old aging woman and as toto too. they do still love each other and hoping they can continue the love that they left 30 years ago but unfortunately things cant go as what they wanted elena has a family of her own with 2 kids and what schoked me the most. she ended up with boccia! toto;s childhood friend. as to toto he never gotted married. argh! i once cried again watching the director's cut. i have puzzled in everything that needs to be puzzle. i was glad and fortunate to have seen this one of a kind masterpiece!

A Hard Day's Night

wooh! finally i got the chance to watch this movie ive been dying to see this but i couldnt see any copy of it. luckily after all those hard and sweaty days of letting myself soil into the place called "quiapo" to just give it a try if i could find one, finally payed off! yey! man its soo freaking hilarious and so cool! those 87mins. of fun and listening to the tune of the Bealtes was all worth watching. its good to see the other side of the fab4. their hilarious tactics and child-like attitude really makes me like them even more especially Ringo. for me i think hes the funniest one. hes funny in a sense that he doesnt know the hes already being funny. John Lennon was i think the goofiest while Paul seems to be the most mature out of the four and lastly George as the shy and serious more of type of guy. i was singing along to the tune of "a hard days night, if i fell, and i lover her, she loves you" and list oges on...i really had so much fun watching it and age does really matter for you to enjoyed a film even if its way out of your age bracket.

YESTERDAY-THE BEATLES-FOREVER

What matters most...she makes me smile.

about 2 months ago (last week of march i think) i finally decided to meet up with her, i dunno just out of curiousity i guess and para narin matigil na yung pangungulit sakin kasi gusto talaga ni trina na mameet daw ako ni akhis. i finally gave in. one thing that is a big turn off sakin sa babae eh yung nakikipag inuman. sure ok yun. pero for me parang for 1 night stand sake lang yung mga ganung babae (i mean not in a sexual way) yun bang na meet mo lang sa isang bar then flirt na kayo. so yun nag meet na kami ni akhis at first syempre tahimik talaga ako at di ko kinakausap si akhis, si julius naman panay ang asar sakin at pinag tabi kami ni julius sa table. about a minute or so nung nag ka amats na ako naging comfortable na ako sa kanya agad instantly! that rarely happen since im not that kind of guy na ma boka or in short bolero but with this girl i dunno, halos sya yung nag dala nung kwnetuhan i just go with the flow pero sobrang saya ko that night instantly nag click kami i even remember julie confronted me nung nag cr sila trina he said "chay! i know a couple when i see one. para na nga kayong mag syota. grabe ang dikit nyo sa isat-isa" ako mismo nagulat din bakit ganun ka palagay ang loob ko sa kanya. after that night, we exchanged message every night para naging ritual ko na nag mag text. coming from a guy that texting is my least favorite thing to do. pero sobrang tyaga talaga ni akhis mag text sakin. until one day sinabi nya na "sabi sakin ni trina na hindi ka daw nag ttext ah" i said to myself, oh shit! baka mawalan ng gana to sakin kasi napapdalas na ang di ko pag rereply sa mga text nya" i just said "di lang talaga ako masipag mag text eh. pasensya ah" as days passed napadalas narin ang pag kikita namin. minsan pupunta sya ng UE para makipag kita sakin (at talaga sya pa talaga ang dumadalaw eh no? ang kapal muks!!!). she makes me smile all the time. though she's not my ideal girl (smoker kasi sya eh. ayoko pa naman sa babae ang nag ssmoke) pero narealize ko na lahat pala ng qualities nayun eh mawawala once you get to know her more and your feelings towards her will grew gradually which what happen in my case. i admit, hindi ako maeffort pag dating sa panliligaw di ako yung hatid dito, hatid doon, texting constantly, and meet ups always. di ako ganun which i feel so guilty about. syempre ako lalake kaya kailan mag hirap ako. when it comes to ahkis she totally accepted of how the way things i do when it comes to courting. actually wala daw talaga ako KA EFFORT EFFORT! compare daw sa mga other admirers nya. just last friday i feel so guilty and embarassed at the same time. since nag ssummer class ako and 6pm ang last subject ko. i texted her about 5;30pm and said "miss na kita. kailan kaya tayo ulit mag kikita?" she just said "punta ako dyan manila ngayon. kita tayo" i said "what?! eh nasa bulacan ka kaya?!" she replied "di yan. mabilis lang ang byahe" wow! for a girl to do that to a guy?! i mean, ako ba ang nangliligaw o sya?! tang'na talaga! nung nag meet na kami around 7pm. hindi matanggal yung ngiti ko yung nakita ko sya sa mcdo, espana sobrang namiss ko sya. we deceided nga pala na mag inuman. (by the way, first time ko nun makipag inuman sa babaeng may feelings ako) no dull moments nung mag katabi na kami sa table. im so happy. i told her that night that "i think im falling for you" natawa ako sa ginawa nya. tumigin sya sakin at saka nilagay nya yung palad nya sa muka ko at sabay syang yumuko. i really dont know what to say what matters most is that she really makes me

we're actually 3. minus miscarriage.

all throughout my life im longing to have a brother(kuya/little bro). not that im saying i despise my sister but its just that iba parin talaga pag may kapatid kang lalake para kasundo mo sa mga maraming bagay. last night habang kainuman ko yung tito ko, i found out na my mom had a miscarriage 3 years later after i was born. that information really shake my whole system and i couldnt speak for about a minute or so. my mom never told me anything about her miscarriage maybe because its too painfull for my parents to even brought that up to us. but the reality hadnt sink in to me yet. it really bums me out. he couldve been 18 y/o right now if he was alive. even though ive never met him. (my tito said it was a baby boy) theres something longing in me. the thought of actually someone will calli me "kuya" really touched me so much. i get teary eyed knowing i once had a little brother. i know im getting melodramatic but i just cant help it. to my little brother,

"TOL! mahal na mahal ka ng kuya chay mo. nakalungkot nga lang kasi di tayo nagkita. pero dont worry in time magkakasama tayo. at sana pag dating ko, mag iinuman tayo dyan kung nasan ka man! hehe. love you tol!"

The Client

an 11 year old boy who witness the suicide of a lawyer who happens to know the biggest unsolve problem. the missing body of a US senator Boyette Boyd.

this is the first book that ive read and the first John Grisham novel that i read (with the exception of HP3 & Da Vinci Code, i just read that to see whats the fuss' all about) that i fell in love it and literally cant get my hands of it. i said to myself i wouldnt dare to bother read a book that is thick as yellow page. i barely even finish 1 chapter! but this book change my perception about reading books, the desire to find what happens next keeps me turning pages without me knowing that its already 5am! plus what got me hooked about this novel is its a legal thriller, you know courtroom drama kind of stuff. though after reading it i was kind'f disappointed just a bit cos i didnt find the ending too extravagant, i dont know maybe it just me or maybe grisham thinks that "its already common sense! duh!" the fact that is just ended *spoiler* with the goodbyes and all without detailing how Muldanno got arrested just kind'f a cliffhanger for me. but its really really good. im very well entertain, all those grooling latenights was definetly all worth it i finished reading this one in about just a week which really surprise me. by the way, ive already seen the movie adaptation and it sucks very badly! some of the details werent seen AND they even change/add some parts. totally murdered the book! *sigh* guess thats just the way hollywood goes. too bad.

The Testament

In a plush Virgnia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. with his death just hours away, troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his $11B fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary deep in the jungle of Brazil.
Enters the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his latest job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. as Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman-pursued by enemies and friends alike- holds a stunning surprise of her own...

this by the way is the 2nd book by john grisham that i read. it took me by surprise on how the story goes so well that is why in just 3 days i finished the book. the ending kind'f breaks my heart though, its really sad how grisham decided to end it that way. *sigh*

Maganda ka sana eh, pero kung mag text ka "EoW pOh.uxtAahH icqAw pOh?!"

Seriously, sinong BOBO ang nag pauso nito?! nakaka turn-off amp!. understandable na siguro sa phone (pero para sakin hindi rin kahit sa text eh) but even sa pag ttype sa computer kailangan ganun?! i find those people who writes these kinds of stuffs too shallow, i mean c'mon people! before iniiksian yung mga words pero ngayon pinapahaba na nila lalo! i often encounter through some text messages that i cant barely read! i even need the help of some my friends to translate what it means (in a normal way). heres one of the most bizarre text message that i actually received:

".6ndan6 gabe.
.tAe cA c6ue uAk cA m6tecx nA ??nx na atUu.
.hNap aLan ktEcx bAd3p Ln cCe ..
npahanap 2lo?

.jh?EeMz."

i was like, where in Gods name is that language came from?! i feel like im Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation" except that were both filipino. see the irony? ang sakit sa mata sobra! and i may add, NA KAKA-NOSEBLEED! (kala ko sa math ko lang ma eecounter yun) not that i only find this people shallow, but i pity them as well. G-M nga 2 letters nalang gagawin pang "jh?EeMz" or "Ghee EhM"these kind of people really has some serious issue stuck up on their cuckoo brains! you think its cool? i say it only shows how dumb you really are! sasabihin nyo "paki mo ba eh di naman ikaw ang nahihirapan mag text ah, kami naman ah" at sa tingin nyo naman hindi ako nahihirapan sa pag basa ng text nyo?! and whats with the "muah-muah/hugs!?!" what are you 8? and you still havent gone through puberty?! seriously, baby talks & pa-cute phrase are so fucking annoying! act your own age and dont even get me started with "pass this message to 10 of your friends or else..." blah blah shit! I KNOW GOD STILL LOVE ME EVEN THOUGH I TRASH OUT YOUR CRAP GROUP MESSAGE. THANK YOU. you know what, because of such word structure that has been massively widely used now a days (ate ko ng nag ttext ng "22O b i2?!" shame on you ate!) most specially the infamous phrase of them all even Patrick wouldnt dare use such foul and tacky sentence *drum roll* "D2 NA ME, WER NA U?" it degrades not only our dialects (tagalog/english) but also our status as of the highly educated and english speaking nation as well. (or was)

i guess thats all i can say and besides...OpiYoN Koh LnG nmn pOh yn Eh. pEheez pOH tauNg lht. Muah! kiss-kiss! hugs!!!!

(YEAH! SARCASM RULES!!!)
