After watching the movie,eclipse I came to conclude for three things.One is that life all begins with a choice. Second, issues about love can really be a big pain in the ass lol. (Just imagine jacob black being dumped by bella swan lolz) Lastly, there will always be two sides of the story; either you are happy without hurting anyone or you are happy but consciously and unconsciously hurting someone.

One. Life begins with a choice.

In our lives, we often would complain with how certain things come and go. We fret over petty things and situations comparing ourselves to other people;saying life isnt fair,asking ourselves why everyone is like this and other is not. After all, what we have and what we do are but just outcomes of the choices that we make. Just like Bella, she had the choice of living a normal life and just fall in love with a normal person. But she had a choice: to be with a vampire who loves her and be happy than to have a life, peaceful but without him in it. And since she chose the person that makes her happy, she chose to be with Edward. Same us ours, we always have the choice if we want to be happy in life. ;)

Second. Love can really be a big pain the ass..(sometimes)

Whenever I watch a movie, i would always sympathize with the those character whose faith and lucky in love seems to have lost its course. Though in this world,they say, love can make the world go round. There are still exemptions especially for those who are not chosen, those who have the capacity to love but arent given the chance.You sincerely want to be with that person but its not destiny that is stopping you but that person alone can already tear your heart piece by piece. Even though situations like these do happen not only in movies and books but also in real life, i still believe in perfect match or finding your soul-mate coz if that person doesnt love you then he or she is not the one for you. So yes, love can be a big pain in the ass sometimes. It holds true when you are in the process of searching your other half, the person that would complete you but not for those who have already found the love of their life.

Third. Another side of the story

What you is see may just be 1/2,1/4 or even 1/8 of the whole thing. There will always be another side of the coin. It is very important that when you decide and choose make sure that you're not hurting anyone. After all, how can you be happy in life if you know that your happiness is causing grief and agony to someone.

Over-all the movie is great.This goes to show that i'm also a twilight fan hahaha.. I got some big and much more in-depth life realizations though i'm still trying to fathom why on earth would Bell claim she loves Edward too much but also happens to fall in love with Jacob. But anyway, guess life has been like that, complicated;better to leave things unsaid.lol.

Busy schedules. Different priorities. Changing life outlook and perspective. These are just some of the changes that I observe not only in my personal life but also with my circle of friends. It is very rare to find people whom you can trust with your life, a group of people who are really close to you and know you in and out.

We all undergo changes and transitions in life. Sometimes its hard to admit that we're no longer the same people we used to be before. Now we're much more matured and wiser.

But Im glad my friendship with these people has transcended every dimension of challenges and trials. I couldnt be happier seeing them once again; share with them the latest news about me, my life especially my lovelife wahaha (though there is really no significant thing to share lol).

The way we laugh on things, the way we reminisce moments, the way we joke with one another, its still the same. They are still the people whom I cherish and I love.Though we're not complete at least we still spent a memorable time together...

Increase the number of college graduates, enhance infrastructure, improve ecnomic situation, lessen incidence of hunger, eradicate poverty, transparency, good governance...

I couldnt enumerate all the socio-political and ecnomic issues that are prevalent today. And I couldnt elaborate further how politicians seem to use all these crucial issues for their own advancement. For the past many years, our country has witnessed the transition of countries we thought couldnt overtake us, Vietnam, Thailand and I am not surprised with this saddening and disillusioning fact. Everyday we are bombarded with faces of politicians involved in a seemingly endless debate on a lot of issues only leaving these issues hanging. We are also not new to results of surveys stating that Philippines is one of the most corrupt countries, a country having the highest figure in terms of poverty incidence and people who have nothing to eat. 4 Million! That's a very staggering figure, a very alarming one.
But still what we get are all cynical promises, a promise of a better future, a promise for a better nation?

On May 10, 2010, the judgement of the Filipino people will once again be put into test. For once every 6 years, the Sovereign Filipino people have the power to alter the course of history, to swing the present course of events. But the question is who should the people vote?Who is the right choice?

Last weekend when i bought the newspaper, Businessworld, I came across an article. I couldnt remember the title but i could vividly remember the message of the article. Our country needs a servant leader not just an ordinary servant leader, but a leader who has a character of servitude, a passion to serve not the interests of the elite few but of the masses, an unwavering faith to do what is right and have love not for oneself but for the whole nation.

We dont need someone who are good at making promises. Neither do we need someone who has the best of qualifications or someone who has the highest intellect among all. We dont need someone who is charismatic. We need a servant leader. A leader who knows how to listen to the grievances of which the majority are the people who live under harsh conditions one could ever imagine. But A servant leader for whom? A leader serving the interests and fighting for the welfare of the Filipino people. What welfare and issues are at stake?

The right to have education, the right to equality in terms of opportunities, the right to attain justice, the right to have a good life and possess all the necessities and basic needs, the right to have a good government and effective leader, to name just a few.

What we want to see is a leader, who would fight for the welfare of the farmers, someone who would attend to the sufferings of the Filipino workers, someone who would educate people and not alienate them, a leader who can change the political landscape, someone who would fight for truth, honesty, equality, good and transparent governance.

Of course some would claim that these qualities are hard to look for in a politician. It is even deemed next to impossible. But if we wont set the standards, if we dont know what qualities a leader we are looking for should have, then we are just voting to merely replace the old leaders with the new ones. No change, same old, rotten system.

Though it is difficult to set the qualities a leader should posess, for as long as the people know what kind of leader they need to have then that's the only time the true essence of election will be realized.

2009 was a year of mixed emotions and experiences for me. I laughed,I cried but most importantly I learned. The purpose I have in mind while writing this blog is to just look back on the memorable events that happened and look forward to a much brighter year ahead - 2010. I got this from the list of my status from facebook...hehe
