"(Rose)"I have every reason to be sad, but i don't have any reason to mourn. People grieve when things end. Nothing has ended tonight. One of has simply gone ahead as we always knew it would have to be. But there is no place Jonathan can go ..."
"Where you can't follow." Shelley said.
"Yes." Rose smiled. "In time." *my tears*"
I know. I've been reading this book for a week (or more) now. I'm really trying to digest (haha!) everything. I'm taking my time because I'm loving the characters... They are like new people that I want to get to know more. I have a thing for travelers, people who loves adventures...
The book is making me smile, cry and be "kilig"... As much as I want to know if Shelley will still have the chance to see Max, I want to take my time as the characters travel Europe.
Come read with me..
Tell me what you think, Okay?
"Spend some time living before you start writing..."
I don't want to be on a magazine cover, I want to write in a magazine. hahaha that's my childhood dream! but, if you really want me to choose maybe HELLO magazine? (OMG! dream on girl! haha)
tumblr, hello?! :) twitter and blogger (though whenever I use our desktop, I can't log in to my blogger account, I don't know what's wrong with my google chrome!)
I really don't know why I decided to have this post but I really want to say something about shy and sweet girls. Back in College (oh gosh! its just 5 months ago), my friends and I always fool around on being shy and sweet. Most of us in the group are literally loud and outgoing. Though, there are times that we just want to keep quiet but on normal days we are really loud and we always talk and talk and talk. Maybe that is the reason why we are amused whenever we encounter people who are genuinely shy and sweet. We really adore them because its like they are so reserved and composed. haha! Something we always try to be but we cannot.
Me and my girls with our friend Jerick.. Haha! I miss them!
The Voice was aired and I found a girl who will be my peg of being genuinely sweet and shy! But, there's a lot more to her, she's very very talented!
I've watched Dia Frampton on TV. Anyone who always goes to youtube will recognize her. She is youtube famous with her sister Meg. meganddia.
They were introduced to me by my friend Rei before but I didn't really had a chance to listen to all their cover songs. I watched her audition for the voice and that's when I remember her and now, I'm totally addicted to her. Girl crush-ing here. hahaha
If you would just listen to her voice, Gosh! It is very unique that it can even calm your soul. So now, I will share some of my favorite videos of Dia Frampton...
Hmm. To stay connected with our title shy and sweet, everytime you watch Dia perform on stage, her sweetness and shyness will be left backstage and she can do her own thing! She is a very smart performer with so many ideas but after she performs she goes back to being that shy girl. As Blake Shelton says, " a girl stood out here on the stage and perform with her heart and soul."
Dia Frampton's cover of The First Cut is the Deepest by Sheryl Crowe
Dia's cover on Bless the Broken Road (my super duper favorite song of Rascal Flatts)
Dia's cover of mean by Taylor Swift
Dia's version of Losing Religion by REM THE VOICE PERFORMANCE :)
I spent the day with my best friend Trixie Sorry, I forgot to bring my camera that day.
We had our Chatime Milk Tea
We had lunch at Mary Grace cafe (Greenbelt) [talked all the way]
and we had frozen yogurt for dessert at Qoola. and of course we talked all the way while we're browsing the Ok! magazine that we've seen in Qoola's magazine rack.
Before we went home ( me to travel back in Laguna while Trixie goes home to her dorm in Mendiola)
we went to Powerbooks Greenbelt and I bought Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List for a cheap price. It is the only available book of David Levithan at that time.
We also stopped by Powerbooks Glorietta and hello? some of the books are on sale!
Trixie gave to me all the Cabot books that she could see on the sale table. Its just sad that I don't have enough money so I just bought Meg Cabot's Queen of Babble and a book from Melissa dela Cruz (I forgot the title because I lend it to Trixie and she's the one who told me to buy it.) hahaha.
So that's my Sunday... chill and relax with more books! :) Yey!

I miss school life. This photo was taken before our baccalaureate mass. Life's much simpler back then. Your friends appreciate you and will say your mistakes right in front of your face. You won't even worry about people who'll tell sh*t about you. Unlike on the real world, people always act like they're always better than anybody else. And also some people in the net world can ruin your positive attitude in just a snap... #just saying.
Perfect Chemistry, Rules of Attraction and Chain Reaction
If you just want to read a feel good books, something light that could make you smile and cry a little bit. :) It also involves peer pressure, FAMILY, friends and yeah another take on
bad boy meets good girl...
I just started reading perfect chemistry while i've read Chain reaction (3rd book) two days ago. It was an honest mistake. I didn't know the book has connection or something but my friend said its okay because the plots of the books can stand individually. Perfect chemistry is about Alex Fuentes, (my friend Ghel said) Rules of Attraction is about Carlos Fuentes and Chain Reaction, about Luis Fuentes.
Even if I'm still halfway on reading perfect chemistry and I haven't started R. A. yet, I prefer Chain reaction the most because i like Luis and his story, his cool... Anyway, I don't want to be a spoiler so just google it up or search it in goodreads if you're interested. :) Happy Reading!
Ten years ago...many lives have changed.
Ten years ago, September 11, 2001, its a Tuesday and a school day. I'm still grade school that time. I was early at school that morning so we have more time to talk and play. My friends and I were addicted to different colors My Gel ballpens back then. We decided to run to the nearby (our "suki") store to buy before the first bell rings. When we arrived at the store, the owner's television was open and tried to peek what's on TV and that's when we saw that the twin towers in New York were attacked (suicide attacks). Then two planes also crashed in Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.
At that time, we were very sad because it has affected many people. Our classmate even said that he's Uncle who is living in Manhattan is just ten minutes late for work that time. He was about to go to his office when he go back home because he left something. That's when the suicide attacks happened. His Uncle was very shocked. If he hadn't left anything at home, he might be included in the people who were trapped in the building... That's when we realized, life's precious so we should appreciate it.
Philippines is thousand miles away from USA but we were also affected because its not only about terrorism, its about innocent HUMAN LIFE.
It may have a small impact on me ten years ago but now i realized... I am living in world were life is not better but its becoming worse. 9/11 didn't happen only ten years ago, its is happening everyday.
Wars in different sides of the world. Kidnapping. Money. Power. Greed.
War ruins everyone's life. It can make our lives miserable. It can leave devastation not only to adults but also to many children. After 9/11, how many kids have lost their fathers? mothers? brothers? sisters? Ten years, twenty years, until the day those incidents will leave a large hole in their hearts... :(
Everyday, how many futures ended? Each time someone fires a gun, what impact does it leave to the innocent who people who have heard the screams and the shouts? How many children grow up without their fathers on their side because he is on the other side of the world to protect their country?
Its so sad to know that we are living in such world. I pray to God everyday to heal the hearts of the people who were hurt and the people who have caused the hurt. I hope God will touch the hearts, our hearts to wash away all the greed, the power and every evil things in the world.
The only good thing about these tragedies is everyone comes together to share the pain. Everyone helps the people in need and everyone steps up so some people could live.
Do you really want war? Think about it.
When I saw this on tumblr, this really broke my heart...
Please meet Landon.. his dad Marine LCPL Carpenter made the ultimate sacrifice while serving with the 3/8 in Afghanistan earlier this year.. a month before his son was born. Never forget the price of freedom.
So tell me? How many innocent kids will have to wake up each day knowing that a part of their lives is lost, forever?
Finally, my long wait is over! Here's GG Season 5's trailer! I've waited so long... September 26, hurry please!
If someone's back reading my posts, you'll know how much I'm addicted to this series. And have you noticed when Season 4 ended, I'm not talking about it too much because it will just prolong my agony (in waiting for the next season). I love the real/reel characters so much!! Now, that I've seen the trailer, I'm back on track. Yey!
Thanks for the adventure. Now go have one of your own. -Ellie
I'm channel surfing after lunch time when I saw Up on Disney Channel. I stopped channel surfing for awhile and watch Russell and Mr. Fredricksen. I remember that I also cried on this movie. This Pixar movie has a place in my heart too. :)
Russell is very adorable, innocent and sweet.
Whenever, I watch movies I always reflect after I watch it. So, I'm making my list on what I learned from UP. :)
*Reach for your dreams.
*Stay cheerful and adventurous.
*A death of someone special should not stop you from living your own life.
*Sometimes, life will struck you and all the things you believe in where put into waste.
*Live for yourself but also live for other people. In that way, you might just let them BELIEVE again.
*Love little kids... They NEED love and guidance more than they need toys and fancy things.
And as my favorite quote from the movie, to anyone who lives like Mr. Fredricksen ... Go and have your own adventure... Live again! :)
*Major spoilers alert from the film One Day. This is not a film review or something, I just really want to talk about the film!* I'm just speaking for myself, okay.
Directed by: Lone Scherfig
Adapted from David Nicholls' novel One Day
Main characters:
Jim Sturgess
Anne Hathaway
" Smile, cry and appreciate Scotland, England and France, all at the same time. "
After I watched the movie, I had a chitchat with a friend and we agreed that its like the 2011 "If Only." Well, of course, If Only is IF ONLY. I can't even decide if it is a lighter version or the opposite.
One thing that caught my eyes as I watch the trailer (aside from Anne Hathaway), is the locations where the movie was shot. I google-d it and learned that the movie was shot in some parts of England, Scotland and France --my dream travel places!!!
Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway are fine as Dex and Emma. I found myself attached to Emma because in some parts of the film she is a fresh graduate and a struggling writer. *okay lets end it with that* Debbie and I were giggling during the movie because we were connecting ourselves with Emma (we said "ayan.. ayan nangyayari sa atin e. Buti pa si Emma kahit struggling may bestfriend na gwapo at may kwartong malakas makatumblr.")
Very true. The movie has a tumblr-y vibes. I really love the film's cinematography!!!! (OMG, myself stop it! haha) Anne Hathaway's british accent in the movie is kinda too much but atleast she tried. (Oh em!! I am so biased about Anne!!! haha)
A cry baby
I love how the picturesque views were incorporated as Emma and Dex have their playful banters and pinch to the heart moments. My heart broke when Emma said " I LOVE YOU DEX BUT I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE!" Tears started to roll down in my eyes when Dex announced to Emma that he'll have a shotgun wedding. At that time, i really want to scream in the cinema and scream to Emma "OH MY GOSH! EMMA TELL HIM WHAT YOU REALLY FEEEEEEL! NOOOOOOW!" But, hello?! I would really embarrass myself so I let it go...
Though, there are times that I find the movie a little bit boring in the middle part... pero its okay pa rin naman.
I admit that I'm really a cry baby to any movies that have sensible weeping/crying/heartbreaking scenes. I also always get teary eyed but in One Day I really cried. I am sniffing in an entire heartbreaking scene (sobrang nakakahiya!) Dex is living a miserable life that even i can feel the pain (woooosh*)...
The funny part
I was so into the film when I looked at my friend Debbie, she was weeping!!! She is drying her tears with her hands with complete heavy breathing and loud sobs. THEN I LAUGHED!!!! The scenes in the film were very intense and I was trying not to laugh hard at Debbie! but I did!
Even until the end of the movie, Debbie's crying and I said "Stop it now! People might be confused and tell that i'm the one who made you cry!" haha Her eyes are very puffy and red so as her face! hahahaha! I loooove you my friend! :)) How i wish i could capture that moment too bad I didn't have my camera that time!
Going back
Debbie told me she cried so much because Dex and Emma waited for so long to admit that they are each other's soulmate! They've waited for that perfect moment. Everything is almost in the right place. We both agree on the scene wherein he is finding comfort in her daughter...
THAT heartbreaking scene when she tried holding her daughter's arm and she pushed his arm's away...
But the most painful is Dex's conversation with his father. He thinks he can't live his life again and his Dad said something like this
"YES, YOU CAN. That's what I'm doing for the last 10 years of my life." (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww)
Honestly, I am such a fan of tragic, unhappy endings but this movie really broke my heart. It even made me wish that Emma and Dex should have their happy ending As I said, "Sa dami ng pinagdaanan nilang hirap.. OKAY NA! I want them to be happy!!)
My bad! i was given what i want but it didn't make me happy.. Still, I am VERY. touched.
ONE DAY reminds us that anything could happen so don't ever let go of those moments. Embrace those beautiful moments and hug tighter those painful memories because when you remember the pain, you will realize that it hurts because it is TRUE and you have given your all.
In time, you'll be okay and say "We may not have yesterday and tomorrow but we have today...." :)
The Book
I have included the book in my "to read" list in goodreads when I saw it on a book recommendations of my favorite magazine. I really want to read the book first but I remember how I always end up dissatisfied whenever I watch film adaptation of novels that i have read first.
I reminded myself that I wanted to feel the moment. I don't want to compare, I just want to watch a movie that's it! I really want to read the book and I'm sure i will cry buckets of tears! haha.
Once in awhile, movie first before the book. No questions, no confusions. just enjoy the moment and be surprised. :)
