It's a desire fueled by hope.


Before Zombieville HD, I used to play Angry Birds and spend countless hours just to figure out a way to reach the next level. All birds are very cute specially the ones that drop bombs and explode. The pigs are awfully adorable as well but as many of you know, they are the villain in this game. They are evil pigs that must be vanquished by all means plausible.

I want a cake like this one. I really do!
My family owes me. They didn't buy me a birthday cake, not even a teeny tiny cupcake with a puny candle on top of it.

AHOY! Hello, cake! Show yourself.

You will feel better if you notice the sweetness of life.

Not all movies make me feel inspired. When I watch DVDs at home, I usually opt from something supernatural to action. Teen flicks, romantic comedies are not really my cup of tea. Some of them I find cheesy, too shallow or unrealistic for a relationship. Yes, I am that picky and when I watch something, it’s like I’m bound to give the film a review that may make or break its existence.

Fantastic Four (or any genre synonymous to it) creates a huge bother in my mind. I wonder why I don’t have supernatural powers. Like, why can’t I be invisible? Why can’t I say “FLAME ON” and just flame on? Superheroes. They have this tendency to make you feel invincible when in fact they’re not. Every hero has a kryptonite.

Last night I watched Mannequin, a film from 1987 which my mother used to watch a ton of time when I was little. I was not fond of it because of course, I hardly understood the context. It was painfully boring for me then.

However, NOW is DIFFERENT. After watching the film, I felt inspired and enthused. I was even envious of Emmy (played by Kim Cattrall). Mannequin made me realize that love really is simple. It’s the people and the situation that causes the complications. The world has forgotten the notion that sometimes its okay to be vulnerable, to give in and just be happy.

These days it’s all about being smart. Smart enough to be in a relationship where you don’t get the short end of the stick. Smart enough to settle for someone who loves you more than you love them. Smart enough to treat a bond like “Two Can Play That Game”.

But life is not a game.

We should be able to love without the worry, without the stupid rules that bitter bitches and assholes created. It took me so long to understand that when you’re in a relationship, you might as well give it your all. Give it your best shot, hope for the best and enjoy every friggin' second of it. Yes, it may end but what if it doesn’t?

Pareho lang ang iiyak mo. Kalahating pagmamahal man ang pinakita mo o hindi.

Hello, Jonathan Switcher!

Yes, I got all this from watching the movie.

SILVERSCREEN: Eat Pray Love


This morning I rushed online and logged to my sureseats.com account and reserved2 tickets for me and a friend who's somewhat keen on watching the movie. I've read the book 2 years ago and never imagined that it would later become a film. Eat Pray Love is not a typical novel. To give you a review now would seem pathetic considering that the book's been launched 2006. I'm quite sure some of you have read it, one way or the other.

Julia Roberts is still the great actress that she is. She magnificently pulled off her Italian accent and quirky dialogues (monologue, sometimes). The movie would make anyone thirst for travel. It doesn't matter where, it would make you just do whatever what you want to do and pursue it. Eat Pray Love is essentially inspiring and moving. To sum it all up, this movie just means "If you want to be happy, BE".

Hats off to James Franco because even though his character looked a little off and uncanny, he managed to pull it off. Try to spot his extremely simple wardrobe where he sports a white tee. HOT is all I have to say.

The following are lines from the movie that I can't seem to shake off:

Ketut: Do not look at the world through your head; look at it through your heart.

Liz: I am so sick of people telling me I need a man.
Felipe: You don't need a man, you need a champion.

Liz: I remember an old catholic joke about a man who spent his whole life going to a church every day and prayed to the statue of a great saint begging "please, please, please, let me win the lottery." Finally the exasperated statue comes to life and looks down at the begging man and says "my son, please, please, please, buy a ticket." So now I get the joke, and I bought three tickets.

Richard: So miss him. Send him love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.

You may run but you're not allowed to hide.

The music industry's been overflowing with the likes of Akons, Ne-yos, Rihannas and Lady Gagas. You bring a boring love song to the scene and its sure to drop in about 5 seconds flat, specially now that pop sensation Justin Bieber crossed the great divide.

I miss the times when BOY BANDS actually define what good music is made of. I'm sure you've all heard of Hanson, N*sync and who can ever forget the Backstreet Boys? They were the IT band. Whoever dares to enter the kingdom of boy bands must answer to Brian, Howie, AJ, Kevin and Nick. If you don't know them, you better start googling now.

Talking about this pretty much gives away my age. Yes, I'm a 20-something lass from the land of MTv not-local. Back when there was MTv Most Wanted, MTv Select and MTv Fresh. Come to think of it, music has changed a lot as all things had.

When I was in high school, I used to listen to The Moffats. Yes, them. All the girls in our school were singing their songs and humming their tunes. To not know The Moffats back then would make me a loser. And mind you, my school was pouring with MEAN GIRLS. I don't know where The Moffats are now. Last news I heard was the fact that they were disbanded because of i-dont-know reasons. I remember having a huge crush on Clint. Now, I remember nothing :)

I found this on Google:
I don't know when this was taken but they look pretty damn good to me.
