Hand Heart Signs


It was a very tiring day for me in a world of lovers & the like. I am drowning with all the sweetness around me and it made me feel like I needed a love back. lol, ofcourse it's a half joke. haha. I was about to sleep when I felt like I wanted to take some pictures & edit it.
On the bad side, I ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED FLEEPSY ON THE FLOOR!!! :( It dropped real hard that I almost cried because I thought she would be broken. Good thing she's still fine. :') I badly needed a tripod now!

Okay. I'm about to sleep now.
Have a happy february, lovers!

What Nature Said.



I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.  ~John Muir



Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.  Everything is simply happy.  Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance.  Look at the flowers - for no reason.  It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.  ~Osho

Self-Portrait


This is my current facebook display picture. I loved how my lips turned to be like that. haha lol. Just don't like how I zoomed it close enough that my arms were cut in the picture. :(



This is the original picture. Cloned it in photoshop to remove the background, & I cross-processed it.

Black & White Series






Sigaw Sabay Blaaag! Para Sweet

Ako yung tipo ng taong minsan sablay. Ay! hindi pala minsan, madalas pala. Madalas makahulog ng gamit, madalas makatabig ng pinggan, baso, kutsara, tinidor, pitsel, palanggana, tabo, o kung ano pa mang bagay ang pwede kong matabig, minsan nga pinapraktis ko pang hawakan ng mabuti ang kung ano mang mahahawakan ko para siguradong hindi ko ‘to mabibitawan pero sa huli may kamalasan pa ring mangyayari. Di lang yun, madalas pa akong matumba, madapa, makabangga ng kung anu-ano o kaya kung sinu-sino, matisod, at kung anu-ano pang pwedeng mangyaring pagkamalas-malas, o katawa-tawa. Siguro nga pinganak lang talaga akong malamya. Siguro nga, no?
            Kaya lang minsan nakakahiya, eh! Paano ba naman, sa dinami-dami ng lugar na pwede akong mag-exhibition, doon pa talaga sa harap ng crush ko! Biruin mo iyon? Magta-tumbling na lang ako doon pa talaga sa harap ng pinagpapantasyahan kong lalaki. Yun ang unang beses kong mag-ala darna sa harap ng crush ko. Nakakahiya! Nakakaloka! Pero at least, iyon naman ang dahilan kung bakit niya ako pinuri.
            Madaming tao noon sa eskwelahan namin e, marami kasing mga grade 6 students na kumukuha ng entrance exam, karamihan sakanila galing pa ng mga ibang bayan at probinsya. Dahil nga entrance exam day iyon, pinagsama ang dalawang section ng second year sa iisang silid-aralan. Kailangan kasing gamitin yung mga ibang class room para doon sa mga mag te-take ng examination. Hindi din naman kami nagka-klase dahil nagre-record kami ng istorya para sa English subject namin. Yung parang  mga storya sa radio? Tapos ipaparinig sa buong klase, para kunwari cool!
            Pangatlong subject pa lamang namin iyon sa umaga, mga alas nwebe pa lang, nasa labas kami ng class room na naka-assign para gamitin namin, saktong nasa tabi iyon ng class room na ginagamit ng klaseng kinabibilangan ng crush ko. Sinasadya ko pa ngang doon talaga kami pumwesto sa labas eh, para kahit di ko makita yung crush ko dahil nasa loob siya ng room nila, alam kong pwede niya akong makita. Tapos kung makapagsalita pa talaga ako noon akala mo yung kausap ko isang kilometro ang layo sa akin, para talaga marinig niya akong nagsasalita. Style ko bulok no? Kumita nay un dati, e. Pero ganoon talaga, makapagpapansin lang.
            Habang binabasa ko ‘yung script ng storyang nirerecord namin, pasulyap-sulyap naman ako sa loob ng room nila, hinahanap ko kasi kung saan siya nakaupo. Pero di ko pa rin makita dahil medyo malayo at nakaharang iyong bintana nila. Gayunpaman, patuloy pa rin ako sa pagpapapansin dahil alam kong nakikita niya pa rin ako. Patuloy pa rin kami sa pagrerecord ng kwento. Palaging may mga re-take dahil kung hindi kami natatawa, nabubulol naman kami. Pero ayos lang, masaya at nakakatuwa kasi, at para sa akin, may bonus pang kakiligan. Obvious na obvious talaga kung paano ako makatingin sa class room nila crush, pati lahat ng kilos ko ay detalyado, pa-demure na papansin, ganoon na ganoon. Pero buti na lang ‘di iyon napapansin ng mga groupmates ko, na kaya ako parang kiti-kiting paseksi kung gumalaw ay dahil nga nasa tabi kami ng room nila crush. Nasa plot na kami noong nirerecord naming kwento.
            “Maarioo!” malamya ang aking pagkakabigkas. Hindi ko kasi alam na dapat pala akong sumigaw.
            “Ano ka ba, dapat isigaw mo, parang ganito… Marrrriiooooooo!!” sabi sa akin ng ka-grupo ko, with matching demonstration pa talaga iyon, ha. Medyo pinraktis ko muna iyong linya, bago mag take-two.
            Okay, handa na ako. Game na. “MAAAAARRRRRIOOOOOOO-----”, bago ko pa man matatapos ang aking linya ay dumulas ang aking paa sa mga damong inaapakan ko. Nakataas pa talaga ang mga kamay ko noong isinisigaw ko ang pangalang iyon na akala mo ay susugod at papatay ng tao. Hindi lamang dumulas ang mga paa ko, sumemplang pa ako sa lupa at bumaligtad. Tumaas ang aking palda, buti na lamang at naka-shorts ako noon, kung ‘di ay nakitaan na ako. Pagka-semplang na pagka-semplang ko ay sa room ng crush ko ako unang tumingin, nakita ko iyong kaklase niyang nakaupo sa tabi ng pinto na tawa ng tawa, kahit ng malayo siya ay kitang kita ko pa ang mga gilagid niya kakahalakhak dahil sa nangyari sa akin. Juskopo! Parang ayaw ko ng tumayo. Parang sana tumama na lamang yung ulo ko sa bato at nabagok ako, para itakbo na ako sa ospital at makaiwas sa kahihiyan. Pero siyempre wala naman akong choice, kaya tumayo na ako at nagpatay-malisya. Tapos tawa na kami ng tawa ng mga kagrupo ko, kasabay ng pagtawa ng mga estudyanteng nakakita. Sa isip-isip ko na lang, ‘kaya niyo iyon’?
            Natapos ang araw na iyon na masaya, kahit pa sumemplang ako sa school ng umagang –umaga. Nahihiya ako sa sarili ko dahil sablay iyong pagpapapansin ko, dahil nag-exhibition ako sa harap ng class room nila. Di ko man sigurado kung nakita niya akong natumba, nahihiya pa rin ako. Pero bago pa man ako matulog, nakatanggap ako ng text.
            “anG kYut mO kena ah,,nakiKita kita sa Labas nG rum,,hehe,,ganda nG boses mo,,sabi nib Elle nag-exhibitiOn ka rAw,saying dikO nakiTa,,perO ang gaLing galing mOng magrecord,,ang ganda nG bosEs mO.hehe,,yngat!gudnyt:)” Oo, ganyan ‘yung text niya, nakasulat kasi sa diary ko, jejemon pa kasi ang mga tao noon, kaya okay lang. Hay! Sumemplang man ako noong araw na iyon, jackpot naman, kasi iyon ang first time na nakatanggap ako ng complement sa taong gusto ko…

Rosario Movie Critique


Rosario, a Metro Manila Film Festival Entry of Cinemabuhay and Studio 25 was directed by Albert Martinez. It was released December 25, 2010 and was starred by Jennylyn Mercado as Rosario, Yul Servo as Vicente, and Dennis Trillo as Alberto. I watched the Movie last January 5, 2010 at Ayala Malls, Trinoma and even if it was already the third week of the airing of the Movie, the Cinema Place was still filled with people watching.
            The story revolves around the life of Rosario (Jennylyn Mercado), a beautiful, intelligent and sophisticated Filipina who just got home from New York.  She was only supposed to stay on vacation on their hacienda but then she met Vicente (Yul Servo), who manages their family’s tobacco plantation, and she fell in love with him. When her father and mother knew about their disgraceful relationship, they sent Rosario to convent, but then Rosario eloped with Vicente afterwards. Their cohabitation is a picture of a married bliss, not until Vicente suffered from tuberculosis, which lured Rosario in committing adultery.
            The movie was based on a true story of Manny V. Pangilinan’s grandmother, and it was set on one of the most colorful periods in Philippine History. The movie set appears to be realistic for a 1920’s movie setting. It was taken on a province, and an hacienda that portrays back a scenery that looks like back at that time. The vehicles and other places have been well-prepared, and even the dresses and outfits of the cast describe a 1920 Filipino. The vintage cars has been the perfect example of a well-represented props used in the movie.
The acting of the casts has been great enough to keep the audience into the flow of the movie, and they delivered the lines and actions well that the drama became more realistic. However, some parts just look so exaggerated that it appears to be a bit eerie. An example of which is when Carding (Sid Lucero) saw Rosario after making up with his Tio (Ricky Davao) and he was driven by too much anger that he punched the latter too much, and at the first throw, the blood was already overly portrayed to the point that his Tio wasn’t even able to fight back.
            The cinematography is great that the entire movie appears to be eye-soothing and all of the details, the setting, the props, the dresses, and the faces of the actors and actresses has been emphasized and shown vividly on the screen. The sounds and backdrop music did not interrupt any of the scenes, and even made the movie even better. The only big drawback for “Rosario” is its own basis, Rosario Herrera herself. At some point, instead of being pitiful for her repugnant life, people might even unlike her for her selfish-centered decisions. In the end, even if some moral lessons are depicted in the story, it will leave you a query why the life of Rosario Herrera has been seen onscreen especially when there are only limited knowledge that can be excavated her real life story. Still, the movie is fine enough not to be watched by the people because even if the history doesn’t tell so much about Rosario Herrera, the film was still conceptualized well that most of the people will easily understand it.

My Girl (Korean Version)

Believe it or not, I just finished watching the whole series of My Girl (Korean Version) last  December 31. Though it was aired on ABS-CBN some time ago, I wasn't able to watch it dubbed in Filipino (but I guessed I saw some episodes of it though). Well, I prefer to marathon watching Asian Novs anyway.

Even though I already have a clue on what the story is about since it was already shown before, but then I still liked watching the drama. The last episode is the one that made me cry a lot, but then again, I did not liked the ending :O

Yoo Rin is cute, but I didn't like the why she cries. Doesn't look realistic. Heh.


Just like some other dramas, Gong Chan only confessed his love for Yoo Rin at the later part of the story. Their relationship is cute, but it feels like it's lacking some sweetness, especially when you compare it to other romance dramas.


Still, I liked My Girl. & I'm kinda inlove with some of it's OSTs. Hehe.

Since it's classes again, I bet I couldn't watch another one. Especially because I am bombarded with school activities. I'm looking forward to next vacation. =)
