I never thought it would happen...

Of all people...

YES, WE CAN!

So, I joined the Obama fever bandwagon...I only heard him from the news but I really did not pay attention up until this "historical day" of his inauguration. The two Philippines' biggest media companies namely ABS-CBN and GMA are covering the event as it unfolds live straight from the US...So I guess I will be awake till 2am to witness myself the charismatic leader who would faced the looming economy and war against terrorism inherited from the not-so-quite-former president George Bush.

It's really amazing how a leader of another country would somehow affect Philippines by politics alone...Common Filipinos may not be as excited about America these days, since we have a lot more problems here on our own.

However, aren't we one of the countries who is the biggest recipient of humanitarian aid in the US, jobs such as call centers...blah blah blah...

For most of us, including myself who would like to be employed in US in a near near near future...it still is..."The Land of Dreams"

Although Canada is the best option...

Hindi ka Diyos!

Last new years eve, I had a talk with my mom, Tita Helen, cousin Lendle at the dining table...we talk about lots of stuff about life...and nonchalantly, we converse about my "Dad and Mom" as to why they got separated and the stories in their life that I have not known yet...

Maybe, I should not go on with the details of the chaos that happened but from what had Tita Helen told me the words "Hindi ka Diyos!" struck me...

BIGTIME!

I now know how we are indebted by those people that selflessly help us when we have none...It reminded me that at one point we have nothing...it humbles me...

I now understand why...

It definitely answer some questions...

THAT is being a FAMILY!!!

Medicancy at its finest!

It's ok when your in your 20's I would PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND about womanizing, dependence and being JOBLESS...

BUT!!!

If your 37 and you have a family with 3 children to feed...and still asking your sister (my mother) to provide you BASIC needs such as foods, shelter and children's education...I, in my lucid mind just couldn't get it...I mean do you get it?!? Is it even rational?!?

My mom said it's better that I AM NOT in their position...(But if I am in their shoes...I would find work...be grateful of what's given...and act at least appropriately)

The way I see it...it seems they think that everything that we own is their own too...they would just get something from us without even consent...that you have to give and give and give...

GENEROSITY and GIVING are good values but...you can only do so much...

Poor kids...

My mom doesn't get my point...

SADLY...

More pictures from Bohol!

I know this might be too late...but I can't help it...just needed to post this cool pics...I'm still in a bliss whenever and wherever I remember it...it's nostalgic...it does worth it! Enjoy!

Best Christmas Gift EVER! iPod nano 4th Generation

BEHOLD

iPod Nano

(Fourth Generation)

I'm psyche up with the new iPod nano...I got the blue one (just perfect!)...

Looking at the fourth-gen Nano, it seems like last year's squarish design was just an awkward, forgettable phase in the Nano's development. This year, Apple has set the Nano back on track with the thinnest, lightest design yet, and features that are hard to ignore.

Thank you De Roca Family!!!

New Moon

First off, I haven't read the first installment of the famed author Stehanie Meyer's "Twilight" series. However, upon watching the movie, I caught myself in a pop culture with a cult-following worldwide phenomenon.

So why the HELL this flick ticks???

1) Its unconventional: Who would have thought vampires could look this good? Who would have said that vampires could be in a love story? Moreso, in a lead role?

2) Refreshing: Aren't you just tired of the superhuman...all-time-favorite-comic-book-flicks? haha me too...

3) Emo thingy: i think we are back in the days that emo are in...the more weird you are the better it is...(just check American Idol season 8...just kidding)

How did I get acquainted in "New Moon"?

I give you one word: BOREDOM

I have the picture above the hard copy of new moon from Canada...I just borrowed it from my cousin...

Reading the first 16 chapters of it was a breeze...since I knew the characters, the gripping love story and so on...I even enjoyed it...

BUT...

after that 16 chapters I couldn't help but despise Bella due to her selfishness, average type, idiot like mentality...I just HAD IT... it doesn't have enough magic, bloodsucking love story and dragging story line...

Poor Jacob Black!...that's all I got to say...

On the other hand, it's good to know that Taylor Lautner remains to play his role as Jacob Black and Vanessa Hudgens might be playing a role as Leah Clearwater on the upcoming sequel...

See you in theaters in November!!!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

After so many weeks, I finally decided to see a movie, from the Hollywood's A-lister's such as Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"...

The last movies that I saw was by Leonardo Di Carpio's "Body of Lies", HSM 3, Mark Wahlberg's "Max Payne" and Shia Lebeouf's "Eagle Eye"...all in ONE DAY alone!!! but watching Leo's movie in itself was thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking...(If I did not do this movie marathon I would have been insane from months and months and months of REVIEW for my nursing licensure examination...who says entertainment is cheap?)

I have never been a fan of Brad simply because I dont find his movies substantial and it was always focus on his sex appeal, looks and body...other than that, what else?!? Thoughts?!? (Troy, ocean's eleven and the likes)...However, he can get away with it...Sadly...

Cate Blanchett was stellar!

So why the hell did I watched the movie in the first place?! Simply because the title itself resembles a book that I have read years before the "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon. The book has an interesting premise...and so I thought maybe this movie would live up to my expectation...

I would say it was indeed interesting...seeing Benjamin's transformation from an aged infant to adolescent to a dying baby...the women in his life...so forth and so on...

I would say that even if we could reverse the order of life...Life in itself is complicated...it is in how we live our life and cope with it...All of us play different roles to fill each others emptiness...So, have you realize what are meant for?
