Seating pretty

Seating still, prettily and patiently on this rather good but gloomy afternoon is not a bad idea.

They said in order to take you out of your routine and daily grind, you also need to shake things up a bit.

Here I am, after an early day of bank errands, now lounging myself to a well deserve buco juice coupled with my lonely french toast indulgence at a nearby coffee shop.

It's rather nice experience listening to the soothing music and relaxing beat.. A few more hours and I will be submerge in my reality and grinding the timeworks to another page of life.

To say the least, take time to seat, enjoy and rather choose to become optimistic even if some plans may not unfold, even if some gestures expected are not met and even if some conjunctions are way beyond your control.

Have a seating pretty day y'all!!!

Sweet nothings made special altogether

"Love mo talaga aq. puro ka surprises," ang sabi mo sa akin kanina. Sa isip ko, aba duda ka pa ba? HAHAHA

Sabi nila, sa isang pagsasama mas may higit na expressive, may mas higit na mapagbigay, may mas maalalahanin at mas matapang, mas masungit at kung anu-ano pa "mas".

Juicy & tender expressions.

Bakit kailangan may higit na "mas" sa isa't-isa? Pede namang sabihing magkaiba nga lang talaga sila at dahil doon ay nagko-complement sila at nagiging isang diwa at katawan.Sa ganang akin, ikaw at ako ay parang dalawang uri ng halaman tubig pero sabay na nabubuhay sa tubig at nagsasama sa karanasang hatid ng tubig na ating ginagalawan.

It touched me while tinkering downstair when I chanced upon your Starbucks notebook and saw some of the pieces of expressions I've written for you.  To saw those pieces bookmarked inside the pages of your notepad is heartwarming. Some sweet thoughts, messages and reminders are priceless. Now, are you sweeter than I could ever imagine?! Patunayan!!! lol

Seeing and knowing that you appreciate such small write ups that was coupled with the actual sweet gestures you've experienced...it makes my mind lit up with glee knowing you would treasure my sweet and lovin' blah blah blahs!

I must say, "You're worth it!"

Why "The Healing" healed the movie going public's crave for a nice suspense thriller drama?

Plot
The movie starts when Seth (Vilma Santos) went to a famous faith healer hoping that her father, Odong (Robert Arevalo) be healed from paralysis due to stroke. Manang Elsa (Daria Ramirez), the faith healer gave Seth herbals for Odong to take before sleeping at night. The next day, the neighborhood and Seth were all shocked seeing Odong healthy and able to walk again. Eventually, Seth's sick friends asked her to bring them to this faith healer hoping they would be healed like Odong too. Seth's son, Jed (Martin del Rosario) heard of this faith healer that made his grandfather healthy again and seeing the condition of his half-sister Cookie (Kim Chiu), they both asked Seth to bring them to the faith healer. At first, Seth didn't agree but later on was moved by Cookie's plead. When they went to Manang Elsa, her brother (Joel Torre) asked them to leave but the people, including Seth and her friends, was begging for Manang Elsa's healing. Due to noise and disturbance they've caused, Manang Elsa finally allowed them inside and started her healing ritual.


Why "The Healing" healed the movie going public's crave for a nice suspense thriller drama?


The cinematic illusion of the movie at the opening credit was almost an intertwine of interest and imagination. To my liking, I found that to be interesting for the opening credit to ignite in me a sense of interest. To be honest, I was meaning to watch a CINEMALAYA entry last July 27 evening in Trinoma but ended up watching this movie with my partner. Overall, it did not disappoint my craving for a good Filipino movie.


The overall plot was a 100% reflection of the typical Filipino culture that believes in faith healing, driven by poverty, by belief that there's a powerful Source that could heal you from your affliction without the aid of modern medicine. 


What made this movie more interesting is the series of twist and suspenseful turns that occurred. This made the audience really shout, shriek and clamp up to the edge of their seats consistently. I've observed that the public was very receptive with the storyline and their interest was really engrossed with the scenes. I share the same thoughts with the rest of the theater going public as I watch without batting an eyelash, thinking  "What's gonna happen next? Who's gonna die? Who's making this all eerie happenings?" 


The edits are superb. The graphic manifestation of the effects are excellent. I loved it because the producer, the director, the technical crew was never hesitant to show the effects that really made the audience go wild while watching the horror take turns!


The acting of the characters are all within the bounds and each have delivered based on their role. The main character, Vilma Santos, is and has always been consistent with her acting. Of course, it is refreshing to see her in this type of movie apart from her normal dramatic movies.  The supporting casts are all good. 


It is also nice to take note of the different shift of color themes in each time one of the character dies. From white to color pink, it's a nice sequencing and you could tell that the storyboard was well thought off. 


So why did "The Healing" healed the box office? It's very simple, it's a good story. PERIOD!!! It was made with a powerhouse cast which interested the audience to see it. The movie was unique and  I really think that from the days of the movie, "Feng Shui", this new Star Cinema movie is perhaps one of the most beautiful, well-crafted suspense thriller movie. I actually think that this is even better that those earlier horror-suspense movie made by Star Cinema.


It's a must watch movie, not because it's a Vilma movie. It's a must watch film not because of it's commercial tone but because it's a well thought off story. It was made even better with good effects, good acting. Lastly, it never made the audience felt that it's watching a "poochoo-poochoo" Filipino movie.  


At the end of this movie, you would hear the audience clapping their hands as a sign of satisfaction with this film!


KUDOS to "The Healing"!

SOME DAY

A day in Boracay Island

There are times I want to rule the world
There are times I want to play the hard game
To all the the daily grinds of my life
I just feel it's all a matter of attitude to live it

Some days are fun
Some days are warm
There are days that I feel cold and stressed out
There are days that I feel hot and ready to strike any who oppose

In all the days of my life, I pray for only one thing
That SOME DAY I will be a transcended spirit
With overflowing muse and appetite for life to share
That SOME DAY I will be remembered because I touched lives

On giving your love a second chance?

EARLIER AT WORK.....one of my office gal pal asked, will I give someone who I hold dear a second chanceif I learned something not so good that could strike out the relationship?

I answered her, "Oo. Kasi gusto ko eh. Siguro sa part ko, I'd like to develop a better understanding of me and my love one's individuality, para malaman ko kung bakit nga ba dapat ko siya bigyan ng second chance. 

'Di ko alam, maybe it's LOVE... & so I'd like to think that new chances may be made special because of that LOVE. Of course, HE should be sincere to earn it that back again and I need to start trusting again, it will be bliss to let that happen --- that is TO let myself trust the one I care about once again."

Mornings of love

Many times in my past I have always dreamt of spending a different kind of routine apart from my usual stuffs. Special moments of waking up , looking at my window and thinking what the new day may have in store for me. To experience it knowing someone is with me to take a peek on what the new day seems to promise for us.

Today, among the many days and mornings that I've experienced in my life, I've come to share this beautiful Saturday morning with  someone I hold close dear to my heart. An awesome and real happy times that I cannot just let go just like that.

I never want this moment to end. I want each morning, each day to be a well-spent time. Be it on this current location where I stay or in the future home that I want to build and develop or to the new apartment I may be renting someday. Each new day knowing you are loved and inspired makes your life more meaningful amidst the stresses that you might encounter later in the day.

Mornings of love. Moments of love. In all the coming days of my life, I claim it to be.  Whether it  will be sunny, rainy or snowy, I hold true to my dream come true...with someone like you!
