DVD Night

DISCLAIMER: All the photos were copied from Google. ☺

One of my all time favorite movie is My Best Friend's Wedding by Julia Roberts. I have actually watched it for the nth time, whenever I'm sad or I'm happy or I have nothing to watch or I'm bored or I have nothing to do, I instantly play it. It's comedy/drama, it can make you smile and laugh and be sad and cry at once. I really love it! ♥

So last night, together with my cousin, my older sis, my older sis' bf and a childhood friend, we watched it. Thank God I didn't cry or even shed a tear because they're teasing everyone, it was actually the first time I watched it and didn't cry. Haha. I swear! That's serious.

Here are some screencaps I got from Google, these are some of the tear-jerker scenes for me. :)

MICHAEL: Kimmy says when you love a person, you say it. You say it, right then. Out loud. Or the moment...
JULIANNE & MICHAEL: Just passes you by.

JULIANNE: I came here to bring you to the church. For you to marry the man of OUR dreams.

TWINS: Someday.. When I'm awfully low. When the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you.. And the way you look tonight. ♫♫♫

Where is the good in goodbye?

Earlier this day, Nanay and I went to a funeral of a family friend. Due to that, I realized that life is too short. Nothing is permanent. Everything can be taken away from us anytime. Our love ones, our money, our life aren't really ours. It's His. Right? And we cannot question Him for whatever He has done or He has been doing because everything we have was just given to us, everything's from Him. I get that but I will forever wonder why He would give us something or someone then He'll take it back in a snap.

Now what is more painful, not having someone at all or having someone then eventually losing him?

Black friday

It's black friday in the U.S. today because of the Thanksgiving. Black friday means big sale so a lot of people take it as a chance to shop. I got envious with the tweets and posts to tumblr of some people that's why I shopped on my mind. Hahahahaha. :D And I hoard shoes from Forever 21's website hence the shoes were copied from there. These are the shoes I bought using my mind:

Done! lol. They're gorgeous, right? I'm currently dying inside for not being able to buy these shoes truly. *sigh* So I'm gonna end this post with a quote from Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl series.

"Whoever said money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop."

Aptitude Test

I took my aptitude test in Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy yesterday, it's one of their requirements to be able to get in. It was fine. The first part was Comprehension, then Math, then Abstract Reasoning and lastly an essay. It was not hard for my opinion.

After my exam, Mama(my mother's older sister) and I went to Gateway to eat then we went home. :)

That's all. xoxo

Current Addiction: Fro-Yo

I'm waaay over DQ. My current obsession is ta-nan Frozen Yogurt. I can eat 2-3 large cups in one sitting, beat that! lol. It's just sad that here in our place, Montalban Rizal, there's NO fro-yo available. It's SO depressing that I only get to eat it when I'm in the civilization. Haha. I'm just kidding, our place isn't as remote as it sounds. :) Here are two of my favorite Fro-Yo 'brands':

California Berry

Red Mango

Obviously, California Berry's presentation is much better compared to Red Mango. I don't know why but that's what I observed. But with the taste, both of them are to die for! Kill me if I'm wrong. >:D

Dream cars baby

I actually just have three dream cars, I can die once I've acquired those. Kidding aside. I really really love Mini Cooper. I totally do. I'm blinded by it. I want to have one in the near future.

I think it's perfect for me, right now. I am single and spontaneous. I started loving Mini Coopers since I've watched Mr. Bean. And that's once upon a time ago. MC is my first love when it comes to cars.

Second in line is none other than THE Hummer. I'm actually not a sucker of huge cars but when I saw a Hummer in person, I fell in love. I swear! That is SO true. My cousin actually witnessed my amusement. No joke. :D I, in fact, took a picture that time. And here it is: (SORRY FOR THE LOW QUALITY OF THE PICTURES, I JUST USED MY PHONE IN TAKING IT.)

Third is Lamborghini. Who wouldn't love this wonderful wonderful creation? Tell me. :p We just saw this yellow Lamborghini in C5 and I took a photo of it. I even asked my Kuya Jun to hurry driving and he told me we can't beat that one no matter how fast he'll drive. Haha. Okay, I just forgot that time that it's a sports car because of my excitement. lol

I'm gonna be fine without those yet I'm so sure that I'm going to be extremely and undeniably happy to acquire even just one of these three brilliant invention. Calling Tatay! Haha. JK. :)

Eeny meeny miny moe

Last November 22, 2010 my cousin and I went to Negoskwela to enroll myself for Chinese Cuisine seminar then went straight to three Culinary schools to choose one among them. Our first Culinary school stop was Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy in Timog, Quezon City. GCHA is the only Culinary institution that offers Grand Diploma in Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry. Then second stop was First Gourmet Academy in Old Balara, Quezon City. FGA has a great view in their kitchen. I swear! I actually fell in love with the view of Antipolo, Eastwood and Katipunan. And they also have a really good front desk officer, she's so cheerful and accommodating. And the last but definitely not the least International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management in Katipunan, Quezon City. ISCAHM is the nearest among the three in our place and the building was really easy to find. I heard it has been the second in throne next to CCA. After the adventure, we went to Gateway Mall to eat because we're dead tired and starving at the same time. We decided to eat at Teriyaki Boy and we went home. That's all folks!

What I ate: Teriyaki Boy Bento

Wet look due to the heavy rain and we got no umbrella ella eh eh.

I believe

They said you wouldn't make is so far uh uh
And ever since they said it, it's been hard
But nevermind the nights you had to cry
Cause you have never let it go inside
You worked real hard
And you know exactly what you want and need
So believe and you can never give up
You can reach your goals
Just talk to your soul and say

I believe I can (I can)
I believe I will (I will)
I believe I know my dreams are real (know my dreams are real)
I believe I'll stand (Oh yea)
I believe I'll dance
I believe I'll grow real soon and (That's why)
That is what I do believe

Your goals are just a thing in your soul uh uh
And you know that your moves will let them show
You keep creating pictures in your mind
So just believe they will come true in time
It will be fine
Leave all of your cares and stress behind
Just let it go
Let the music flow inside
Forget all your pain
And just start to believe

I believe I can (I believe I can oh yea)
I believe I will
I believe I know my dreams are real (All of my dreams are real)
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and (ooo)
That is what I do believe
Whoa oa oa YEA

Nevermind what people say
Hold your head high and turn away
With all our hopes and dreams
I will believe
Even though it seems it's not for me
I won't give up I'll keep it up
Look into the sky
I will achieve all my needs
I will always believe

I believe I can
I believe I will (I can)
I believe I know my dreams are real (I got strength)
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and (watch me watch me watch me)
That is what I do believe (I do believe in me)

I believe I can
I believe I will (oh yea)
I believe I know my dreams are real
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and
That is what I do believe (I do believe! yayeeyay)

SOURCE OF LYRICS

MOVIE CLIP

I love this song. It's from the movie Honey starred by Jessica Alba. The song makes anyone confident in pursuing his dreams. A lot can relate. I have liked the song since I've watched the movie years ago and now, I'm currently holding on to it. I do believe in me. ♥

Political Rant

I joined my Tita Mercy a while ago going to the market. So when we're about to go home, a guy asked Tita M if I'm Vic's daughter and we said yes. The man suddenly told us something about politics in our place especially our baranggay. My Tatay is the outgoing Baranggay Chairman. He lost last October 25, 2010 election. And I just learned from Tita M that some people had turn their backs from my father because if ever he had won, he will be the chairman of all the chairmen in the 2nd district of Rizal. So the crab mentality of some Filipinos arises, that's why he lost! Oh, maybe I should now accept that that's the way politics here in the Philippines really works. It sucks but unfortunately it's true. I can rant all I want but it will not change the fact that my Tatay lost just because some people doesn't know how to be happy for their fellowmen. This will going to be my first and last post about my father's political adventure as a barangay chairman, we have already moved on from the lost. As my Tito Efren put it into words:

"We just lost for a day, while it's saddening that baranggay Geronimo will lose every single day of 3 years."

That's really true because my family already has the money before my father had been the chairman so nothing will change from our life status. I'm pretty sure of that and even our family friends can prove that! 3 last days of my father in the barangay then he'll fly to Macau with friends for vacation then we're going to live as normal as possible. PEACE! HAPPINESS! LOVE! :)

Figurative speech

This photo was taken December 2009. I can't imagine that I'm actually fatter today compared to my figure last year. I know how it happened, I don't control my food intake and I also do not exercise. I eat whenever I want, whatever I like because it makes me happy. But for goodness' sake, not all the things that makes us happy is good for us. Lesson learned! I don't take a photo of myself nowadays because I only end up deleting them because of my dismay. I really should take some action to reduce some fats. Actually I started to shift from the regular rice to brown rice. It's a good start! I'm gonna take it slowly but surely. It's for my own good. Right? I'm gonna keep that in mind. By the way, I chose that title because I talked about FIGURE. :))

First :)

There's always a first time for everything.

I'm really not a writer or anything close to writing but I used to write what's been on my mind or what I'm feeling on my Multiply site. So technically, this is my first blog ever. From this day onwards, this blog will be my online diary. I'm gonna blog everything and anything under the sun that got my interest. :)
