Reminiscing Dream High

I am so much in love with this drama's cast, affection, and hope. I am planning to watch the complete episode again on this coming semester break. I don't know what to write but I'd continue anyway. I don't know if it's because of my so much love for Kim Soo Hyun that I'm stuck on him or his this really attention catcher, even on Moon That Embraces the Sun. He's a good actor in a way that he can effortlessly portray the role and make us fall in love and the way he cries. It's not like any other actor, his tears are real and full of emotions. Okay, at this very moment, I don't know if I'm playing bias or what but he's really that good. Another points for his voice. As we know he's not that into singing, but singing is that into him. He's playing like a professional. I will marry him! Hahaha. Insane mode, is this really to show how I reminisced the drama or loving Kim Soo Hyun? Either.

Love is in the air!

Skirt, so bored

Hey. What's up everyone? 

You know I just found out that everytime I blog, I do lame excuses saying "sorry Iv'e been busy." But that's always true because I got too many things stock on my head to-do. I'm busy on school cause the supposed to be midterm "week" got extended for a month. And it 's been a tough road I'm taking on right until now. But I still have time to relax, sleep (yes, but I slept 2-3 hours the night before exams) and do my things. And last Sunday, I've been very bored so I play with my clothes and do some stupid and weird things. 

My attempts to fly, so fail. I jump shot my self through camera timer. Haha!

Because of my weirdo-ness, I even found a skirt I can use on the convention I'm going to attend next week.

It ends here for now. I still have files and midterms to pass to. Hope September will be awesome! 

PS This is gonna be my first fashion post with label but I have done a DIY fashionable shirt before, check it out here.

The Reunion

Hey. It's been a while. I'm not really into blogging tonight but I wanna write/share something. 

I went out earlier to watch movie with my best friend, a new Star Cinema film entitled The Reunion. I got a little excited to see the film myself for it has a good casting, an exciting story and of course, a thrilling high school fun. Cause I literally missed high school! And as I had this high expectations about the film, I can say that I didn't get disappointed. It was real fun - a total package! Good actors and actresses came out portraying roles and they give justice to each of it, they got my humor (or should I say almost all the people on the theater laugh as I did) and the story came out as a whole riot but ended up peacefully.

I don't want to spoil people who haven't watch it yet. And of course, like my review/talks about movies or books, I don't give such things that would spoil you. You know this is another damn review. But I will end up posting this. All I want you to know is that you have to watch the film, especially with peers or barkadas because it will tighten your friendships. You won't regret watching it.

PS. Kudos to Mr. Franco Mortiz for this fantastic film!

I'm back to reading!

Nitong mga nakaraang araw, sumulyap, humapyaw, at nagbasa ulit ako ng articles, blog, libro, etc. Yung mga walang kinalaman sa pag-aaral ko. Pero sigurado akong saglit lang ulit 'to - malapit na kasi ang midterms.

Philippine History, taong 1998, panahon ni Erap

3 years old lang ako nun, ano namang malay ko sa panunungkulan niya? Siguro nung panahong yun, wala talaga kong alam. Pero ngayon, maraming pwedeng mabasa at mapanood. Pero hindi siya ang paksa ng post na 'to. Nung panahon kasi ng dating Pangulong Estrada, lumaganap sa Internet ang isang article na may pamagat na "Who Wants To Be A Filipino?" Nabasa ko ulit yung article nito lang. Binanggit dito ang hypocrisy at hindi magagandang bagay tungkol sa mga Pilipino at bansang Pilipinas. Pero hindi ako naniniwalang walang Pilipino na gustong maging Pilipino ulit. Yung ibang banyaga nga sobrang Filipino-at-heart, mas proud pa sa'tin eh. Feeling ko masyado lang pessimistic yung writer ng article, at naging O.A. ang pagkasulat niya. May mga aspeto din sa sinulat niya na non-sense. As in wala talaga. Hindi naman sa guilty o deffensive ako. I just find it very intriguing na umabot pa ko sa pagsusulat nito. Ang dami ko kasing gustong sabihin.

Siguro may parte ng pagiging deffensive 'to, pero mga 20% lang. Siyempre, Pilipino ako, dedepensa ako para sa bansa ko. At kung Pilipino man ang writer nung article (na hindi ko na babanggitin ang pangalan), shame on you! Nakakadiri ka.

Hindi ako naniniwalang walang Pilipino na gustong maging Pilipino ulit dahil kung ipapanganak ulit ako, gugustuhin ko pa ring maging Pilipino. Asian for particular. Gusto ko ang tan color ko, wala akong pakialam kahit napang-iiwan na ko ng mga nag-gluthatione. 'Eto ako eh!

Yung lugar natin. Kahit nababalot ng polusyon, baha, ingay at trapik ang Manila, okay lang! Hindi lang naman Manila ang bumubuo sa Pilipinas. Napakarami pang magagandang lugar, sariwang hangin, tahimik na paraiso, bundok at kalsadang traffic discipline zone sa atin. Libutin mo ang Pilipinas, kapatid! 

At ang pinakahigit sa lahat, ang mga Pilipino. 17 years ng buhay ko 99.9% pure Filipino ang kasama ko sa buhay. Sa paggising, pagbiyahe, pagpasok, pagkain, at kung anu-ano pa. Marami-rami na ring tagumpay na Pilipino sa iba't-ibang larangan. Oo, minsan nakakatakot yung mga kapwa mo dahil hindi naman lahat mabuti pero sa dinami-dami-dami-dami ng mabubuting Pinoy, natatabunan ang kasamaan. Maniwala kayo sa'kin, kahit estranghero ako, may mabubuting Pinoy around. Minsan, pag magtatanong ng lugar, hindi pa ko napahamak.

At marami pang ibang dahilan. Basta I'm proud Filipina.

I missed writing scripts and shooting films

Hi. This might be my first post for this month. I’ve been lazy for a while doing blogger things and stuffs but I’m still updating, anyway. Title says it all. I do write scripts for skit, short plays and films when I was in High School. Writing is my passion where I can write anything I want to wth my informal grammar, sensitive thinking and creative way. But writing for some people or purpose is a different thing. I’ve been very unprofessional and immature writer way back in high school but that helps me improved in the way that I do now. Directing film is also one of my special tees. Haha! But I’m not professional. I just love to interrupt people at the shoot and say what’s on my mind and that’s creativity. But I tell you, we were all young then and we don’t care about the rules or ways. We just want to pass the subjects so we comply with that requirement. But doing that stuff is really fun and in a way, I miss it. A lot!

I really missed late-night shoots! Haha. I can’t find the other pictures, it’s been so long.

Reminiscing Life as Senior Year HS

Waking up early than the sun, cook your own breakfast, have a very cold water to take a bath to, and skipping this not-so-remote-but-so-far province (as they say). Then, going home late or sometimes not going home at all. This is my daily routine a year ago when I was still a senior student in high school. I did this five or six times a week. From this province, I take one and a half ride to school. It isn't normal, really. And it wasn't that easy. But I have to face the fact that what is happening and what will happen was because of my choice. I'd love to stay in the same institution for four years. I'd love to stay in the same institution for a reason.

Last saturday, my alma mater celebrated their heart warming Junior and Senior Prom night. Every year, alumnus and other people are allowed to witness the dances and performances they will made (except the party at night) but unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend and watch my schoolmates as they embraced one of the biggest night on their high school years. I still remember the whole day and night of my last prom. From the time that we arrived in Manila and get ready (I had my nail polished, hair and make up done and the most stunning yet simple gown and heels). Until the time that my friend arrived and gave me a free ride and we reached the event area. The whole night was awesome, fantastic, terrific and perfect. 

I really missed high school years. When I was in fourth year, I thought that was the hardest year of my life. Full of deadlines, heavy projects, assignments here and there, group activities, club meetings and agendas to meet. But looking on a deeper side, I see it as the happiest time where while having fun and giggles you can learn a lot. Not just in academe but in life.

I remember the first time where we had to shoot a film, I was third year. We really had no idea how. All we know is that we need to be someone as director, actors, writer and cameraman. They have to act and we have to record them. They need scripts to follow. I wrote them and I still have those scripts. The script was very unprofessional yet the result of film was good. In fourth year, we did it again. We made two short films for different subjects. One for Values, which is a short skit about fraternies (we had different topics) and the other one for Filipino IV, El Filibusterismo. The second is a big project for the whole section. It's our final requirement. I was able to write again the script but this time, I had another class mate who wrote some parts of the scripts. Still unprofessional, but the result of film is better. We had ideas, best actors and actresses, and techie persons who are good at filming stuffs. I really give lots of effort, time and patience. And I really missed the arguments, bonding moments, unexpectable happenings and of course the people who made the filming the best and unforgettable experience I ever had.

High school is not just fun, high school is where people had the chance to have a great story that they will cherished for the rest of their lives.

I REALLY MISSED BEING HIGH SCHOOL. But at the end of the day, the reality is that high school days already passed. And you don't have to regret it, you have to be happy, because one day in your life, you've been a high school student. And that's great.

In the end of this post I just want to remind everyone that, "Everything on this earth has its own time and its own season" (my friend says that, so credits). So have your season and enjoy while it lasts.

What's up Army?

Dear Army,


I've been having a very restful vacation right now. Though, it's sad because I can't go on line everyday (something's went wrong with connection). 


For the next day, weeks, until the last day of the month, I will share a lot of pictures, post and experiences. And of course "The Best of 2011". I'm gonna end this year in an awesome way. So for tonight, I will share this one photo. We bought this outfit last Sunday, shopping with my sister and Mama.

Old red flower earrings. I'm wearing hanging England t-shirt, belted short and espadrille.

F for Style - My DIY Shirt

Fashion is just one step away.

Two months ago, I discovered how to cut and reinvent a t-shirt. It was Ann's idea. I watched her tutorial video and I remembered my old t-shirt. It was a Christmas' present to me last year by a friend and I didn't used it since then. So, I decided to make some experiments in the said t-shirt.

This is the real look of the t-shirt

First step is to cut them vertically

Then you twist it to connect them like knots. (Its kinda fail)

So what I do is to add more pieces of vertical lines and make it thinner.

It was my first try cutting t-shirts. Fun! :)

Sembreak

Waiting for my grades to be encode, enjoying the air at my room, resting and talking with the use of laptop. This is semester break, day 3. I don't have any commitments today in school or to my peers. I love days like this. Just having a very warmth vacation with no worries. Today I am going to enjoy the rest of the break that they have given me. 

Watching movies, recreation, get together with old friends. I am planning to go out with people but maybe next week or the other week. I consider this week as a FREE WEEK. Only me, myself, and I. I want to enjoy the rest of the day.

(Top) It's me at Morong, Bataan. (Bottom) Kimpoy Feliciano at New Zealand.

I posted my picture last time on Kimpoysterz's page in Facebook. I got suprised that days after, Paolo went to a beach and posted a picture. WHAT A COINCIDENCE? Hahahaha.

Later, I will be sharing some pictures from our tour in Bataan. Have a great vacation ahead to those who are having their sembreak's.

What to wear on Convention?

I curled my hair and dress up myself. Trying to figure out what to wear on convention.

 

  At the end.. what I wear is a simple blouse with a skirt. Because I'm indecisive, we bought one. Haha. And that's the end of the story.

COLLEGE!

"COLLEGE LIFE: Ended our social life. Made us stranger to sleep. Enhanced our eyebags. Calloused our fingers. Abused our brain. Deteriorated our health. Endangered our love life. Drained our parents' pockets. Stressed our whole being and exposed us to life's cruelties...

I just uploaded some out-of-date pictures that I found in my time capsule. I missed blogging. But I don't really have time to type, post and share. College life is really..... OH! Sigh. Midterms' tomorrow. Break a leg!

...And yet? We're still alive and kicking! Saying I CAN DO IT!"

Mga Batang Badjao

Matagal ko nang pinag-iisipan ang project ko tungkol sa mga batang badjao sa lansangan pero hanggang ngayon wala pang nangyayari. Hindi ‘to drawing, dahil dinaig ko pa ang sketch sa sobrang bagal ng pangako ko sa sarili. Nagmukha tuloy akong politiko. Mabuti na lamang at wala akong ibang napangakuan bukod sa sarili ko.

Naalala ko lang ang tungkol sa project na sinasabi ko dahil sa pagbabasa ko ng isang libro. Naisipan ko rin magsulat ngayon dahil maingay pa ang utak ko sa author ng librong binabasa ko. Bitaw muna sa libro, monitor muna ang haharapin ko. Balik tayo sa mga batang badjao, nakakita ka na ba ng batang may hawak na parang drums na gawa sa tubo at inikutan ng mga rubber para magmukhang drum set na pwede bitbitin gamit ang isang kamay? Pakalat-kalat sila sa daan. Dati sa lungsod ko lang sila nakikita, pero nung nakaraang taon nakita ko na lang na umaabot pala sila sa kalupaan ng Marilao, Bulacan. Sa kabilang kamay naman ng mga batang badjao, hawak nila ang mga sobreng puti na may nakasulat. Sumasabit sila sa mga jeep, mamimigay ng sobre at kakanta. Nanghihingi sila ng pangkain. Laking pagtataka ko kung paanong naisulat ng mga ‘yon ang nasa sobre samantalang hindi man lamang nga sila makapagsalita ng Filipino. Kaya nga siguro malaki ang hinala ko na hawak sila ng mga sira ulong sindikato.

At hindi lang pala sila puro bata, siguro marami lang sa kanila ang bata. Nakakita na rin ako ng mga badjao na may bitbit pang mga mas maliliit na bata. Hindi ko nga alam kung saan nagmula ang mga badjao na iyon at dito sila sa may amin naglipana. At kahit na hinubog ako ng katolikong paaralan, hindi malambot ang puso ko sa mga taong nanlilimos. Ewan, may awa naman ako. Wala lang talaga siguro ang simpatya ko sa kanila. Mas nakakaawa kasi para sa’kin yung mga taong nagsusumikap para sa pamilya nila pero hindi napapahalagahan. Yung parang “sige, bigay ka lang ng bigay. ‘Eto lang naman ang kailangan namin sa’yo, e.” Iyon ang nakakaawa, para sa’kin ha! Opinyon ko lang ‘yon, wag niyong mamasamain. Naiinis pa nga ko minsan kung bakit may mga nagbibigay sa mga nanlilimos. Pakiramdam ko kasi kinukunsinte nila na “sige lang!” Naniniwala kasi ako na kailangan mong magsikap. Para hindi ka parang tanga lang pagdating ng panahon. Kasi wala ka namang ibang aasahan bukod sa sarili mo, e. Lahat ng nagtitiwala sa’yo, pwedeng mawala ‘yan. Pero kapag nawalan ka na ng tiwala sa sarili mo, ‘yan ang mahirap. Kasi wala ka nang maasahan. Sana kung talagang may mga nagmamahal sa’yo.

Teka, lumalayo na yata tayo. Balik tayo sa mga badjao, yun nga. ‘Yung project ko. Gusto ko kasi silang kausapin, ‘yung mga bata. Hindi ko lang alam kung maaamo ko sila. Gusto ko silang pakainin tapos magkwentuhan kami kung ano talaga sila at bakit sila nanlilimos. Kung nasaan ang mga magulang nila, anong tunay nilang mga pangalan, at saan sila nakatira. Kaso baka isipin nila nanti-trip lang ako. Baka hindi nila ko seryosohin. Natatakot din ako baka kuyugin nila ko. Pero gusto ko lang talaga sila makausap. Makakwentuhan. Sasabihin ko, walang kumpanyang nagpadala sa’kin. Wala lang, curious lang talaga ko. At dahill nabanggit na rin ang kumpanya dito, bakit kaya ang mga batang ito ay hindi kupkupin ng mga kumpanya? Anong ginagawa ng DSWD? Sinabihan ba sila ng mga sindikato na ‘wag gagalawin ang mga bata? At sindikato nga ba talaga ang may hawak sa mga batang ‘to?

Napakarami ko pang gustong itanong. Napakarami ko pang gustong malaman pero wala naman akong ginagawa. Atras-abante kasi ako, e. Mahirap din akong kausap. Kaya nga ako lang mag-isa ang nagplano nito. Ayokong may madamay na wala namang kinalaman. At mahilig talaga kong mag-solo.

Oh, tama na. Mahaba-haba na rin ‘tong naikwento ko. Napakaingay kasi ng utak ko e. Nag-iibayo sa mga salita at emosyon. Punong-puno ng damdamin at ng kung anu-ano pa.

Balikan ko na yung librong binabasa ko, ang Ligo na U, Lapit na me ni Eros S. Etalia.

Hello Schoolgirl

Got bored this morning so I hang out on mysoju. Anyway, I just finished watching this Korean movie entitled "Hello Schoolgirl." It was about a junior high school student, a civil servant, a melancholic woman, and a guy who's head over heels about this woman. The story was definitely about giving up easily on a reverse way. I shared this movie to all because its a little cute movie that shows how things should start off sweetly. It's definitely on the different way.

Spoiler.
This civil servant whose 31 years old is started liking an eighteen years old student... and they enjoy each others company. :)
