I read the book so I was more of engrossed how the story from the book will be shown in the big screen.</p> <p>I’m not sure I was mesmerized but I wasn’t frustrated either. I guess the movie didn’t amaze me that much.</p> <p>Of all the Twilight movies so far, I’ve been viewing headlong to Breaking Dawn the most. As this is where we’ll see Edward Cullen and Bella Swan marry, Bella malformed into a vampire and their fusion baby coming out.</p> <p>The wedding was tremendous! I really couldn’t stop looking out Bella’s dress, it was gorgeous! She was wearing a backless dress, I wonder who made her dress. I perceived that it was made by designer Carolina Herrera. So stunning, really.</p> <p>While I liked the wedding ceremony and the bride’s dress, I somehow didn’t like the horrible dream that Bella had before the wedding. It was kinda’ odd. Red petals, blood, blood, blood and full of human corpses, uhmmm.. I don’t know, I felt they could have made it much better. Instead of being scared by that scene, I ended up feeling “really?”.</p> <p>Jacob Black’s heart breaking acts were a bit exaggerated. Still, I speculate in real life, we do tend to overreact too, particularly when we feel strongly about someone. Unrequited love is super painful. I feel for Jacob. Can I have him instead? <span style="mso-no-proof:yes">;) </span></p> <p>The honeymoon scenes, on the other hand, were well-made. Wow! I never thought they could make honeymoon scenes so kid-friendly! Thriving, we don’t presume the typical bosom scenes as it was amongst a human and a vampire. I won’t explicate any more as I’d like to let you see it for yourself.</p> <p>The utmost thrilling part of Twilight: Breaking Dawn for me was the whole pregnancy story. How Bella struggled for her unborn baby, the way Jacob protected her and the Cullen family, the way Edward tried to save his wife and child, how Bella changed from being a human into a vampire and how the Cullen family substantiated what the word, “family” really meant.</p> <p>Generally, I liked the first part of the final chapter of the Twilight Saga. Breaking Dawn has shown the story clearly. Nevertheless, it was a bit too cheesy. There was a scene that I cannot get out of my head. It was too hilarious. Bella said when they were talking about baby names, “Let’s name our baby EJ if it’s a boy (EJ = Edward Jacob)”. OMG, I giggled so hard that I forgot my hubby and my two little angels are sleeping <span style="mso-no-proof:yes"><img

It’s my stress reliever as I can voice out my view, put my thoughts on certain things and also lay all my annotations into writing. When I try to read my past entries it brings back memories of those certain scenarios. I also bring my laptop with me since I find interesting topics or find a relaxing place I started grasping my laptop and starting doodling down things. I really love blogging and I guess I’ll never get bushed of loving and doing this activity.</p>Thethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06186849016823157729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099048214459741521.post-8129489061870472052010-11-17T01:46:00.001-08:002010-11-24T01:15:38.073-08:00Happy Birthday Rochelle!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/TOOmBplbZDI/AAAAAAAAAoU/o3XmTY-DApc/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/TOOmBplbZDI/AAAAAAAAAoU/o3XmTY-DApc/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540454513868760114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/TOOmBfKP9vI/AAAAAAAAAoM/5f4V6lRmaTM/s1600/1.jpg"><br /></a><br />This is not really complete. but I guess this covers most of the surprise party for Rochelle held last July 16, 2010 in Monroe’s Residence..,.. take a look on it.., happy birthday Sweet Rochelle..<br /><br /><br />I just want to share to you guys. I have to confess this experience was nothing like I thought it would be. It’s hard to illustrate but I guess this party would be like coming home to your crazy family who you haven’t seen for how many weeks — you may just get a few bombshells that you were not anticipating. We don’t get to opt who they are moreover may not always like everything about them, but you never desert them. That’s what makes you a family and brings you closer together; that’s what happened to us, Like it or not, we all share an experience that has bonded us for the rest of our lives.Thethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06186849016823157729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099048214459741521.post-20143610468928371642010-11-17T01:45:00.001-08:002010-11-17T01:45:54.486-08:00Inception ~ Enigmatic<p>I am keen on a brain teaser movie……honestly; I’m dupe for it.

Could this be my life?” I have. Everyday.</p> <p>Everyday I wake up in the morning…thinking. Every night I close my eyes as I try to fall asleep…thinking. And as hard as I try, I cannot begin to imagine what I ever did to merit the beauty this life has to offer. It is not without its adversity – far more than I wish to divulge – but the many joys and blessings offset those adversities.</p> <p>What did I ever do to deserve this security? I have no answers. I can only be eternally thankful for what I have been given – the love, the security, the blessings. I have no words to express how I truly feel. I can only say Thank You.<strong>I still have not given up.</strong> I value my confines, the places I cannot go, the things I cannot change. If I try to change something in my own power, I will most certainly fail. Without a doubt, I will not succeed. But it is by the grace of God in which we see change. By God’s grace alone will I be able to get through these challenges and face yet another day. I pray for that strength, perhaps even that courage, to walk through the challenges that lay before me. Not with a weary, tired soul, but with one of determination and boldness.</p>Thethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06186849016823157729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099048214459741521.post-44521676038870919632010-06-26T01:26:00.000-07:002010-06-26T01:31:27.914-07:00A creep<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/TCW6wYcVbBI/AAAAAAAAAgg/3EbTxE0CqY8/s1600/8467c4e407a3a4b0.jpeg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 116px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/TCW6wYcVbBI/AAAAAAAAAgg/3EbTxE0CqY8/s320/8467c4e407a3a4b0.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486997061378599954" border="0" /></a>

<br />for the things can never flee the trap that was the past--things that have already attained the point of no return,
<br />consequently building them irrevocable.
<br />Which means that no matter how rigid it could dig up, we have no other option but to allow the less-likeable way things turned out to be, or the resentment that once cherished thoughts have turned into?
<br />and that, the superlative thing to do is to struggle our supreme to live and bear with the cost.
<br />
<br />Afterall, it’s over and done with.
<br />and after all, it's just appropriate to comprehend that when things don't stay with us, then it's perhaps because they're not for us.
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> BUT</span>
<br />why, then, do we persist to pray for things to occur the same way again?
<br />why do we splurge sleepless nights drowning ourselves in thought?

At one point, I am much crammed with so much joy and on the other I am being emptied with so much guilt and disgust that drains my core to emptiness.

He gives advice on love and relationships on Wave 89.1 Have u ever wondered what he does when he has his own love problems? Does he give advice to himself? Does he handle it very well? Here's his story:</span><br /><br /><span>Three fridays ago, our guru on relationships, joe d mango, read a letter to his wife on his popular radio program Love Notes.</span><br /><br /><span>For the past 11 years, he had been giving advice topeople who would write him letters about their personal problems. To the surprise of his listeners that friday, instead of reading one of his usual letters, he read one that he had written himself to his wife Bing.</span><br /><br /><span>Joe felt that he had to tell his listeners that even someone like him could go through a marital crisis, but that he survived it. Here's how his letter goes.</span><br /><br />In our 11 years of marriage it was just the two of us. I never had a close circle of friends and she never had one either. Life for us was just "you and me," day in and day out. We were literally sleeping beside each other for 11 years. It came to point that there was nothing more interesting to talk about. I was aware I was doing that but I never did anything about it. We were so close yet it seemed like we were so distant. Then came her new circle of friends. They recently had<br />an elementary and high school reunion. Remember her persistent suitor since elementary days? He was there. We already had four daughters and the guy had four kids of his own. They exchanged phone numbers. They started to text each other and this bothered me. a big part of it was insecurity and other part was that she once denied that she was texting the guy. I felt bad<br />because she started hiding things from me. Then the guy asked her if they could meet for lunch. It became a source of tension between us. I finally agreed, but before that, I told her that I felt that I was going through the same pain again. I have seen so many stories like this. If you told me the first part of the story I would already know where it would lead to. Bing accused me of being a "know-it-all" person. But deep in my heart I knew where she was heading. Why would a married guy see a married girl unless it was for business or professional reasons? Finally, even if<br />it was against my will, I drove her to the meeting place. While I was waiting at the radio station, I wanted to call her but knew it wasn't proper. So I just waited for her to tell me how their meeting went. When she related to me what happened I felt that she was keeping the other details. I was afraid to ask because I wasn't prepared to accept her answers. I told her that it would be best if that was their last meeting. She got mad and told me that I was starting to control her life.<br /><br />The following day, I saw a small, torn piece of paper that had the words,"lose you" in the trash can at home. I started picking up the pieces of paper and putting them together. She had written: "Felt sad because I felt that this will be our last meeting." "Wanted to hug you..." Before I could figure out what the third one was, Bing was already at my back. She wanted to get the torn pieces of paper back. She said it was private property. We decided to talk. By then, I was able to figure out the third line: "Not sure if afraid to lose you." She had crossed it out and beside<br />it, she had written, "Wanted to cry." That was what hit me. How could you lose something that's not even with you yet? That was a confirmation that she was getting emotionally attached to the guy. We fought because she didn't want to admit it. She said that what she had written was all about friendship and not about love. For the first time in our marriage she asked for freedom from me. For 11 years we were always together, and now this. She had discovered her own little world and wanted to explore it. I didn't want to give it to her but finally I gave in. I told her that she could do anything she wanted and not worry about how I would feel. In fact, I told her that I was planning to leave her and kids for a while so we could give each other the chance to be alone. We decided to give the new arrangement a try.<br /><br />The following day, Thursday, I went to work early and she texted me. I never answered back. When I didn't respond, she called me. She said, "I'm sorry. I love you and I miss you." For the first time in our marriage I said, "I love you and I miss you too" with tears in my eyes. I realized how much I loved her but I also knew how much she wanted her freedom. When I arrived at the station I asked for a leave. My boss advised me to think it over, but he said that he would allow me to go on leave. After letting it all out I felt relieved. It was the first time in my life that I asked for advice about our relationship.<br /><br />While I was talking with my boss, a messenger arrived with 12 white roses arranged in a basket. It came from Bing. Then a text message on my cellphone came, "I know that no material things can ease the pain that you're feeling right now, but these flowers signify my pure and sincere intentions. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me." Still, a question continued to bug me: "I'm giving you the freedom. Will you choose to stay or go on?" I read the card, and it had the answer to<br />my question: "Dear Dad, I finally realized that I made a very big mistake in choosing a new found friendship at the expense of our long-time friendship. Please forgive me. I will always love you." Bing called the guy and told him that she wanted to end the friendship. He said that they could just text or call each other. Bing said that there was no need. We had dinner and talked up to 1 am. It was like getting married all over again. We lost each other and found our way back. I do not want to go through the same pain again.<br /><br />Friday came and it was the first time in the history of Love Notes that I couldn't do Love Notes. I scheduled a replay. When I was at the station at 9am,I composed a letter to Bing. I was asking myself, should I read this or do a replay? I chose to read the letter. It is not unusual to hear people say "I love you because...," but this story has shown us that the deeper and greater love is having to say "I LOVE YOU IN SPITE OF..." -end-<br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal">What hurts most? ..when you can't fight for that one thing that would make you happy..<br /><br />I may never be the girl you look forward to seeing every day., but I will always be the girl who will look out for you each and every day..<br /><br />Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?<br /><br />love is when you can't sleep.., it's when you want to keep your eyes open..love isn't when you keep holding<br />on.., it's when you learn to let go..love isn't when you kill yourself with jealousy.., it's when you understand..love isn’t' when you fall for someone.., it's when you catch that person...<br /><br />when she falls..love isn't when you see her everywhere.., it's when you close your eyes and she is still there..love isn't when you tell her what you feel.., it's when you give everything for her sake..

My mind was drifting somewhere like it can wander farther.<br /><br />My life’s pretty plain right now. No drama (it’s over and done. hate it!). Not potholed. Neither euphoric. It’s the one chapter in my book you would have rather skipped reading because there’s barely any excitement in there.<br /><br />I guess, I just need these kind of drive and inspiration. I mean not flooding tears on my pillow. I just need to be really, really inspired and driven, not only to come up with a ‘word-fest’, but simply to go away from the plainness.<br /><br />Cheers!Thethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06186849016823157729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099048214459741521.post-29864877276639074772010-04-10T02:27:00.000-07:002010-04-10T02:29:20.575-07:00Missing HIM<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/S8BE4330eFI/AAAAAAAAAfU/k6aJJS0JpeY/s1600/sad.angel.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 136px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/S8BE4330eFI/AAAAAAAAAfU/k6aJJS0JpeY/s200/sad.angel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458438492234479698" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Time moves so fast. </span><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;">It was month of January; I received a phone call from my mom and informed me that my father is in the hospital. With that very moment we drove from Bataan to Angeles City right away.<br />A last surviving father also succumbed to his failing health. He’d been confined for 2 weeks at AUFMC in Angeles City and treated for almost a month at Subic Airbase Hospital for Cancer People in Olongapo and since then been bedridden in our home for 3 weeks. He passed away early morning on 21st March. In his last days, he would often cry on the spot upon seeing relatives visiting him or cry even in the middle of conversations among his children.<br />Despite the heavy rains that day, the ceremony continued with the family, relatives and people finally walking the casket to the city cemetery in the afternoon all the support from families, relatives, friends, Honorable Gringo Honasan and Philippine Constabulary family.<br />I would always remember him as a stiff person who doesn’t talk much. A peculiar mix of characteristics, I think though, at the same time.<br />I was, to be honest, never attend to his funeral. For the reason that, I flew here in Abu Dhabi last February 2.<br />I really missed him. I really feel the guilt here in my heart why I went here during his last days of his life.<br />It’s been years now since my Dad passed away and I can still feel him in me. The only day that he’s gone from me was on his birthday, Christmas day, New Years day.<br />And now, 12th of April falls his birthday.. I just wanna send this message to him..<br />Papaps, I know you’re just sleeping there. Take care and see you soon. You’re the best dad!!! I love you….<br />~ thet<br /><br /></div>Thethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06186849016823157729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099048214459741521.post-92154075312706283122010-04-09T09:58:00.000-07:002010-04-09T10:10:47.778-07:00Blogging...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/S79eoHN7-tI/AAAAAAAAAfM/jTHqHDW7MUo/s1600/IMG00362-20100408-0752.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ha8PzeRpwoY/S79eoHN7-tI/AAAAAAAAAfM/jTHqHDW7MUo/s320/IMG00362-20100408-0752.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458185316621613778" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: lucida grande;font-size:100%;" >
