ligo na u, lapit na me

isa na namang pelikulang umiikot ang istorya sa pag-hahanap ng atensyon. maganda yung pagkakalahad, hindi ordinaryong tipo ng pelikula na kung saan "you and me against the world" ang tema. hindi rin "sa hinaba-haba ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy" na mga pelikulang nagkakatuluyan ang mga bida. pinapakita ang salamin ng isang lalaking nag-hahanap ng pag-mamahal at babaeng nag-lalaro sa buhay.  pinapakita din kung gaano ka-"complex" ang kaisipan ng isang babae. di lang kaisipan, pati yung emosyon. lol! wala akong sinasabing masama, pero minsan di rin mabuti yun. ang ganda ni mercedez. yun na lang, para matapos na. lol! from...

paano ba gumamit ng palo palo?

kanina, naglaba ako ng mga basahan. di ako nagpatinag sa dilim ng kalangitan kaya't sa labas ko sinampay ang mga ito. kadalasan, di namin sinasama sa regular na labahin ang mga basahin. (mali, dapat yata ganun talaga. kaya walang "kadalasan"). ibinabad ko muna ang mga ito sa sabon habang nag-wawalis ng mga tuyong dahon ng mansanitas sa labas. di pa umuulan ngunit napaka-dilim ng kalangitan. masarap ang ganitong panahon dahil sa di ka masyadong pag-papawisan. (haha! dapat nag-papapawis ako kasi tumataba na naman ako.).  makalipas ang ilang minuto, kukusutin ko na sana ang mga basahan. inuna ko yung medyo malaki. kusot dito. kusot doon. naramdaman ko ang init sa aking mga kamay. nagbabadya na maaring mag-sugat ito dahil sa pag-kiskis ng magaspang na basahan sa banayad kong mga...

dolphy...

dolphy is still @ makati med but he's getting stronger. so what's the buzz with dolphy? most of us only review/rekindle someone's life and achievement when the person is dead. but this time it's different. media's eyes are in makati med because of the great guy's critical condition. picture from here. well, i hope that he's going to live longer. dolphy is really a great actor and comedian. he's very humble. i haven't met him but i can see the sincerity in his eyes. the philippine movie industry will be less colorful without dolphy.

mom went home...

fri. the doctor said, "wow, ok na po yung sugat nyo ah. recommend ko po kayo for discharge tomorrow!". well, in all fairness...my mom is a lot stronger this time. second time is a charm for her. lol! picture with ruth while waiting to be discharged. we went home a day earlier than i expected. ruth and joel decided to stay over the night and so be it! they slept in the couch and me - in the long john. its uncomfortable but very rewarding. the view is awesome.  i just paid, 65 PhP out of our total bill. thanks maxicare! kuya jaime fetched us and we ate our lunch @ north park. i was quite amazed that mom was able to walk - with a...

bradley + mafia > manny pacquiao

so what? its in the news today about the WBO's review about the controversial Bradley-Pacquiao fight. as the world may know, bradley won over manny via split decision. netizens were so angry about the decision because all throughout 12 rounds, manny is clearly dominating the bradley (except for round 10). anyways, what's the meaning of review? relatively NOTHING! WBO board cannot reverse the decision in any way. judges' decision is final and irrevocable.  but for the eyes of the people who idolizes manny pacquiao as a boxer, it's a good sign. imagine, even the rich and famous manny gets this unfair decision? lol! wow. kidding aside,...

my thoughts on religious ban and divorce bill

i do not know if i wanted to be a congressman or a senator someday. current legislators today push bills that for their own good alone. nothing else. lemme discuss a few.. palatino's religious affairs. palatino is one of those party list representative of the lower house. he recently propose to ban religious activities/signs/artifacts in all public offices. my comment: religion is deeply rooted in Filipino culture. every time there's public gathering, it starts with a simple prayer. every first friday, some local offices request for mass in their offices. reason is to save time. so what will happen if all of these were banned? nothing. if you really wanted to fulfill your religious obligation, you'll find a way to get it done. right? however, starting a day with a prayer won't hurt...

mommy is in the hospital

we're here again @ makati med. tomorrow is my mom's big day. she's going to have another minor operation at the back of her knee (alak-alakan). i know she's very nervous to think that she's going to have an incision but it's better to have it today than to wait for the cyst to grow bigger. it's not her first time. she used to have the same diagnosis more than a year ago.  my mom and my tita oma...  wifi. yes! we took not so cozy room but decent enough to have at least a wifi. thanks to my medical insurance. lol! at least i can wait do something while probably waiting. i dont like the smell of hospitals.  eewww... the...

movies movies movies!

i'm back with my old habit of watching foreign films with subs. just this weekend, i watched three. here's what i have to say in each movie... Bangkok Traffic Love Story. i downloaded the movie even before it was shown in ABS-CBN. the subs aren't good at that time so i deleted the movie from my hard drive. i totally forgot about it. i watched the filipino-dubbed piece in ABS. as expected, a lot of scenes were deleted and cut. anyways, the thought is still there. the movie is nice. the girl is not that good looking but she's good in acting. the movie is so hilarious yet sweet. it's not the kind of movie that people would love.  it's...

TGIF

its not the usual Thank God It's Friday thing. this time it means -- Thank God I'm Filipino. i am super proud that i am a Filipino. in fact, i wanted to die and work here in Pinas instead of working abroad. they say that in most of my blogs around 2009 when i was assigned in chicago for a while. from fb page of A Million Roses for the World. june 12, flags are all over the country. as in wow! at least once a year, i can say that most of us pinoys celebrate something for our country. questions though... ...why some filipinos do not know how to display our flag correctly? ...why do some filipinos just ignore the national anthem? ...why...

won't last a day without you

i watched "won't last a day without you". it starred sarah geronimo and gerald anderson. the movie is simply good. it's so light that you can easily say "yes, it's true". what was kept in my mind were the lessons from george apostol. this is from here. lesson #1. pay attention para walang tensyon. kung may lalaki ka at may girlfriend, iwasan mo nang tumingin sa ibang babaeng magaganda para di ka natutukso. lesson #2. makiramdam kay madam. ang babae kapag sinabi nyang "ok lang siya", ibig sabihin nun ay di talaga siya ok. lesson #3. the best, pag honest. lesson #4. be consistent. lesson #5. romance is a slow dance. dapat ang kiss, nagpapamiss....

MIB

it was my movie pals - albert and dan - who pushed to watch the movie. for me, the previous MIB's are quite boring. well, this MIB boring but this has a story. a touching story in the end. well, at lest for me its touching. lol! i have no idea that it was j's father who got killed in the end. a total twist. it's good. other than that, its all the same. same old plot. it's just weird that j moved on so fast. ahehehe... i am not a fan of super sci-fi movies but this one is good enough. i'll give this 4.25.

mirriam is unfit?

for me, this is a classic example of crab mentality. lol! imagine people banging on a person who gave the country honor and prestige. grabe, when will people - specifically Filipinos - learn to accept the fact that everyone deserves respect. i love the lady senator. she's witty and knows what she's doing. when she won a sit in ICC, oh my! i think  that really deserves an applause. imagine, a lawyer representing a filipinos internationally. and to think that this lawyer SPEAKS ENGLISH AND FILIPINO - ILONGGO AND TAGALOG. a true blooded filipina. then just because of her "nasty" behavior, some filipinos think that she's crazy? oh come on!...

How Lovely are Your Dwelling Places

I always love to sing. =) . Yes. Often than not, I am out of tune. LOL! Among the songs that I always love to hear (and sing) is How Lovely are Your Dwelling Places. It is simply "tugs tugs". It's comforting and it reaches to my soul. This is from Ps. 84. How lovely are your dwelling places, O Lord. O Lord of hosts; my soul longs and yearns for the courts of the Lord. Even the sparrow finds a home,  the swallow, its nest,  near your altars, O Lord,  my King and my God, my King and my God. Happy he who lives in your house,  he always sings your praise; he always sings your praise. Happy he who finds in you the strength and decides in his hearts, the holy journey. Passing through the valley of weeping,  he turns it into a blessing, his strength grows along the way, till...
