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.
Verona Italy, witnessed the love story of Romeo and Juliet..
I couldnt remember the last time I saw a romantic movie and this time with letters to Juliet, I can't help but to feel romantic once again.
It just amazes me that in reality there is really a "Juliet Wall" in Verona Italy where women can write letters to Juliet.....

Yellow ribbons are looming all over the corner of the streets; both grieving and paying tribute to the insurmountable contribution of former Pres. Cory Aquino who until her last breath continued to fight for democracy, peace and justice. Her death last Aug. 2009 altered the course of history.
Back then and even now, the country has witnessed the worst socio-economic conditions one can ever imagine. People would go out on the streets to voice out their grievances and sentiments often ending up disappointed for there were hardly any solutions presented to ease even slight of their sufferings. Endemic corruption is everywhere. Many are living below the poverty threshold. Injustice for those who cannot afford it persists. Basic needs like food, shelter and clothing seems to be the most unattainable commodities.
We are also not new to various scandals and anomalies involving even the highest official of the land,Pres. Arroyo, in multi-million government projects. We are also not new to the injustice and unfair ruling regarding the Ampatuan case; of the endless and shameless actions of those officials who continually abuse their power and those who instead of looking after the welfare and the interest of the people, particularly the masses, prioritize their own partisan interests.. We are also not new to the continuous violation of human rights. We are very much aware of all these abhorrent and chaotic scenarios. Even if the present administration has tried its best effort and gathered all the support they can get to contain the majority of the people. They cannot hide the disappointment and distrust of the people.
Then comes a figure of a man, reluctant to assume the people’s calling for him to run for presidency. After the death of his mother, the clamor of the people for a leader who will stand up for them, an embodiment of two of the most revered heroes of all time, Ninoy and Cory Aquino, grows louder and stronger. When Mar Roxas finally gave way and sacrificed to pave way for the people’s recourse for a leader that can uplift them; the shy, reluctant man in his 50s accepted and assumed the responsibility not just to become the standard bearer of the Liberal Party to run for presidency but most importantly, accepted the faith lying in his hands.
At first, I belong to the group of people who were skeptic in him running for a position that can either make or break the country. I, just like anyone else had doubts before. But as events continue to unfold, as the campaign started, I eventually discover the good nature of his character. As days pass by, the once before shy, reluctant man is now a man full of convictions; possessing the right blending of qualities we need from a leader, someone of whom the Filipinos people can put their hopes and trust once more; someone who can make the people dream again and to make that dream happen and be fully realized to reality. We are clamoring for a leader who can feel the pulse of the people, who will heed the voice of the people.

Good character
This coming election the majority of people, in my own opinion, are not looking for someone who has the highest of intellect or the best of qualifications. We have tried leaders with these kinds of caliber, and they didn’t offer any solutions to appease the people’s upheaval and growing distrust. We had Marcos, a very brilliant lawyer, the most intelligent President in the history of the nation, but then he became a dictator and got drowned by power.
Following his footsteps is a woman, lies in the persona of Mrs. Arroyo, also a promising economist and politician, who turned out to be much worst one can imagine. And so one cannot help but ask, we’ve tried intellectual presidents and even the not-so-intellectual president before, but why is our country like this? An in-depth look and analysis would arrive at a conclusion that the common denominator that these leaders lack is – “good and strong character”.
Among all the candidates, I think Noynoy is miles away in terms of character. Nurtured by parents like Ninoy and Cory, how can one deviate from the moral values that were taught by them? There is a saying that a good tree will never bear a bad fruit. Yes, its logical to say that Noynoy being the offspring of these two heroes who place high value on morals, decency, integrity and dignity, will hardly be like the previous leaders we’ve had before. Some people would defame him for being a mama’s boy and using the legacy of his parents for him to win the elections. But I say, if you have great heritage like that of Cory and Noynoy who carries the principles and convictions that we all should have, will you be ashamed of that?
Another thing I admire about him is his simplicity which is shown in the way he speaks and the way he acts. But the most important of all, I have high regards for him for being able to fight for what he thinks is right. Petty as it may seem, but one clear example is the way he treated Kris situation during the times when her sister was involved in a showbusiness fiasco way back. I remember Kris Aquino admitting that he and her brother before were not talking because of these issues. That only shows he can discipline even his sister. This goes to prove that for him a wrong can never be right. Another is his stand on the issue on reproductive bill. Considering the tight rivalry among the other candidates, it is but rational for a candidate not to diverge away from the Catholic Church’ sentiments. Among the other candidates, he is the one who is firm in saying that, “Yes, we have a population problem and its serious.”

Amidst the Mudslinging
Amidst the mudslinging done by his rivals, Noynoy Aquino remained a reserved and respectable candidate . He didn’t throw below the belt words or resort to dirty poliical tacticsto defame other people. Unlike some who dubbed him as mentally incapable or epileptic and even presented fictitious documents, which later on were proved to be false documents. Funny as to how the black propaganda of these people backfired against them. It only shows that evil will not really triumph over the good.
A Clear Platform
While I was surfing on the internet for some of the platforms of the presidential candidates, I was really impressed by the detailed action plans and platforms by Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas. So how can other people claim that Noynoy is all but words? When in fact compared to other candidates, Aquino-Roxas tandem offer a much clearer path to where they want us to head.

A Confluence of Events
A confluence of events is starting to reveal itself and as destiny starts to favor Noynoy, hardly anyone can deny that after garnering a 22% lead in surveys, Noyonoy Aquino indeed has a high chance of winning.
Before ending up my blog, let me quote the article of Joanne Rae Ramirez, “Character is destiny. When it is in your DNA, in the finest fiber of your being, to be honest and morally upright, and what you intrinsically are is reinforced by the example of the people who nurtured you, how far can you stray from the straight and honest path?
Nature and nurture are on the side of Noynoy Aquino. Was there a better classroom for the lessons of democracy and clean government than the bungalow on Times street where Noynoy grew up?”

Last saturday, I attended my very cute and adorable god daughter, Nathalie Gabriel's christening. But prior with me attending the baptism is my yearning to go to the place I really love the most where I can just walk and appreciate nature, very carefree and relaxing. Beyond my appreciation for nature is the fact that the place I haven't visited for almost a year, was my home for four years. I just miss elbi..anything and everything n it especially the people I havent seen for a while. Its really nice to go back to the place that has become a big part of yourself.
I guess I'm just being too melodramatic nowadays..again..haha yes here comes the word.."again". Well stress would always knock on your door if not 24/7 in your entire existence, except for sleeping time..lol..
But yes aside from being stressed out, I miss a lot of things. When I mean "miss", I connote two meanings. One is that I miss the people I haven't kept in touch with for almost a year and the second, I lost the opportunity and the events I could have experienced if not for the profession I have. I am not fretting, in fact I enjoy it I just wont admit that I want to do a lot of things I know time constraints won't allow me.
I miss being a student. haaha ayeah ironic.. coz out of the 15 years of my life all i do was to complain about my studies, research papers,thesis...hahaha But now I realized I want to achieve more...
So im hoping to start my masters next year and be a much more balanced person hahaha
I looked up and I saw the sky...endless..boundless..
Ive never felt like I've wanted to reach out for something i know I cant have.
My hands couldn't even hold it, just like my eyes couldn't hide from its shining
light.
No matter how I try to avoid its encompassing light, I couldn't seem to get away from your sight. But even if
I can feel the heat radiating from it, I feel naive.
Coz no matter how I wanted to reach out for you and make you stay with me.
You'll forever be like the sky, far-away, vast and unreachable.

I was feeling a bit bored so i composed a short poem hehehe....I missed doing these stuffs..Hopefully I can finish composing my song...
Thoughts of you continuously linger on my mind
Only remembering how I could have been so blind
Regrets of the past could just simply fade away
Realizing that things are much better this way...
Most of the days when times remind me of you
All I can recall if all what you said is true
Later,I realized there is no me and you
Im sad but im not looking for you...
There is someone I know God has given me
A beautiful and loving person, he will be
Someone who will give me the love so pure and true
Someone who will take care of my heart unlike you
Now I might as well just wait in line
until that right one comes and he'll be mine
All the pain I know would simply drift away
For his love and care would endlessly stay....
Today is february 13, past 9 o'clock and Ive just arrived. While I was outside, almost all of the places Ive been to played love songs. And since Ive always wanted to record a love song with my guitar, I tried to record a song. This time I recorded a song that is more soulful,something that is more sincere. And since I dont have a lovelife haahaha so theres no one I can relate my favorite love song with, I just played the song "Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko"...an endless and classic lovesong...I dedicate this song to my parents...^_^
Lately, Ive been performing and doing all kinds of work and tasks, being a full time business development associate slash marketing person (as of the moment lol) in the morning,a certified "rakitera" after my day work, my commitment to other activities and responsibilities. And I seriously dont know how in my wildest imagination am I able to accomplish all these. Well for one, Im a very active and dynamic person. I wouldnt want to sit in the office staring point blank to the computer doing office stuffs...
Right now though I admit I've been very busy...Im stil wishing I have more time for...
Sleeping. LOL. Funny as it may seem but yes you read it right, I want to have more time for sleep. Though I know in my present circumstance its not really possible except for the weekends..haha
Playing the Guitar. Gosh, I know its one of my new years' resolution to practice hard and learn all the guitar techniques I can learn. But due to time constraints, I barely touch my instrument on weekdays...huhu..Too bad....
Spending time with the people I love... Since I dont have much time, nowadays I rarely have the chance to go out with my family, my friends and my bestfriends. Thank goodness I dont have a boyfriend. It has saved me a lot of time, and has snatched me away from having bad headaches and terrible nightmares...lhaahaha
Reading books....Hay this one really makes me sad. Im a Christian and I have my own quiet time, alloting some of my time to medidate on the Holy Bible. But then again, I fail to do this. I know its not an excuse but Im really trying..;(...
Learning new things...I hope i can still have more time to learn many things, to explore new heights....
This is the only time I've got so might as well spend it wisely and enjoy every moment of it while it lasts.
