The pain still kills us all.

Just so you know, my great aunt, Mommy La (from this entry), passed away last October 20th, around 1 PM. I was at work when my cousin SMS-ed me.

Cholo: Alam mo na ba ang balita?

Me: Fuck. Ano?

Cholo: Pina-process na ni San Pedro papers ni Mamila.

It didn't occur to me that she's already gone that time. I just thought that she's having a hard time, as always, breathing or eating or suffering from her illness... But she's not. When I got off from work and headed to her place, the gates were fully opened and the place was so bright. Everybody was there.

Drive (2011)

Title: Drive (2011)

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac

Director: Nicolas Winding Refn

"I don't carry a gun... I drive."

I'm lucky enough to have downloaded Drive as early as this week while it's still being shown in theaters abroad (Thanks, Piratebay lol).

Like the novel, the film is about an unnamed Hollywood stunt driver (Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver. After he becomes attracted to a female neighbor (Mulligan) whose husband (Isaac) owes money to local gangsters, he is drawn deeper into a dangerous underworld. (via Wikipedia)

“Life is a challenge, meet it.” —Mother Teresa

My great-aunt, Mommy La, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer stage 3D two weeks ago. When she told me and my sister about it, we just couldn't help but cry. She's one of my favorite persons. And I hate knowing that she's sick. She's just in her early 50s. :-( Her chemo will start next week, I guess. And I don't think I can take seeing her losing her hair. I know she will get pass through this. She's one strong woman.

I love you, Mommy! You're going to be in my prayers, always.

HP and The Deathly Hollows P2 (2011)

While watching the finale, I realized I was in tears for some reasons. Little did I know, my sister sitting beside me was already bawling her eyes out. Yes, finally, Harry kicked Voldemort's ass (though he's still tweeting, haha) and that's some kind of a relief. No more chasing & no more killing people. But, it also meant that there'll be no more Harry Potter for us, unless of course if J.K. Rowling decides to write a continuation. As for now, the biggest part of our growing-up has just come to an end. No more Harry-Hermione-Ron adventures. 

Well, as Lily Potter says in the movie, I quote, Always. Until the end. End quote. Harry Potter, forever in our hearts, shall never be forgotten. The magic lives on.

TVD S2 Breather

I finished The Vampire Diaries' (TVD) two seasons in 4 nights, I think. And now, I can't wait until the next season comes out. This definitely showcases a different take on vampire fantasies than the dreamy, gothic, and dark film Twilight. Edward is sparkling in the sun, while the hot Salvatore brothers don't; Edward doesn't have a bed and couldn't even make love with Bella, when in fact, it is possible as long as you have self-control. Twilight fans, don't come at me!

Though one thing in common, we can't deny that these vamps have amusing nice wheels. Couldn't argue with that.

M5 Madness

The only decent picture of me and Joyce from last night (from my sucky camera phone). We weren’t allowed to bring the DSLR inside. I even tried to sneak it in, got caught, and even made lame excuses, lol. I still failed anyway. It was just so stupid of us to forget the digicam. Boohoo!

HIMYM S6 Finale

HIMYM S6 FINALE SPOILER ALERT.

Just saw How I Met Your Mother season 6 finale. It was so hanging. Well, the ending sort of told us that Barney was the groom and is getting married. But, we can't be sure that he really is the groom. Maybe he's just one of the best men, who knows.

Hello Stranger (2010)

Title: Hello Stranger (Kuan Meun Ho)

Starring: Chantawich Tanasewi and Nuengtida Sopon

Director: Banjong Pisanthanakun

I was browsing the internet hoping to find a romantic comedy Thai film. (A Crazy Little Thing Called Love was the very first Thai film I've seen, it made a good impression on me.) I'm glad I found this movie. I've read a lot of good feedback so I decided to download leech it.

It was released last August 2010. The movie was set in South Korea where two strangers crossed paths. The characters' names weren't really mentioned. They just went by with made-up nicknames (Daang and May). The film featured top Korean TV dramas namely Dae Jang Geum and Winter Sonata.

Anawangin Cove, San Antonio, Zambales

Visited Anawangin Cove in Zambales last April 16 - 17 with my college buds, my sister with her best friend, my cousin and his friends. We rode a bangka to get to the island. It was a first time for me and also my favorite part. Anawangin Cove was just beautiful and not too crowded. Though the sand was rocky enough to bruise my feet, it was worth it.

Let's help.

Earth Hour 2011 last 26th of March.

Yes! I have my laptop and router turned on. :-D It's another Earth Hour success, indeed. Cheers to that. I hope more people will participate for the next Earth Hour and the years to come. Turning off the lights for 60 minutes would mean a lot to Mother Earth. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to pause everything for a while and cooperate in this meaningful project. :-)

Fireworks

One of the most-anticipated events of every student has already happened. It was relieving. After all the sacrifices, hard work does really pay off. My parents couldn't be any more proud. And me, who made it this far, will be forever grateful. :-)

Sonny With A Chance

I just finished my Sonny With A Chance marathon this very moment and I already miss the show! Sonny and Chad, especially. They're so adooooooorable together! :3 This video, by the way, was from the season finale, New Girl, and I'm hoping it wouldn't be the last, now that Demi's back from rehab. I'm so happy for her. :-)

Demi Lovato, a.k.a Sonny Munroe, performing "What To Do" :-) Oh, I just love this song!

The Little Rascals (1994)

Title: The Little Rascals (1994)

Starring:  Bug Hall, Travis Tedford, Brittany Ashton Holmes, Kevin Jamal Woods, Zachary Mabry

Directed by: Penelope Spheeris

One of the leads, Alfalfa, played by Bug Hall  (American Pie Presents: Book of Love), was the awkward one. He will do anything for Darla, her love interest, and will risk anything to save his friendship with Spanky, the president of their so-called “He-Man Woman Haters Club”. They have set club rules and even owned a clubhouse, not until Alfalfa and Darla sort of ruined it. Now, Alfalfa has to make up for what he did and definitely has lots of explaining to do.
