TUHOG

I don't usually blog movie reviews, but I wanna share this movie that really moved me. This movie shows the true picture of reality, Let me start the story.. 

Sya si Mang Antonio, Retired Police General pero araw araw nya yon nalilimutan. Alzheimer's.. alam nyo na. Minsan nga naiiiwan nya pa yung cellphone nya sa Refrigerator. Meron syang tatlong kaibigan na lagi nyang kalaro ng pusoy dos at gusto nyang maging isang panadero. Ang problema. Matanda na si Mang Antonio, pero gusto nya parin matupad yung pangarap nyang maging panadero. Ang nakakalungkot lang hindi sya masuportahan ng mga anak nya, pero buti nalang may mga kaibigan sya at Isang napaka mapagmahal at maintindihing asawa. Dahil gusto nya ngang maging panadero, inubos niya ang retirement fund nya sa panaderia niya dahil gusto nyang ipakita sa mga anak niya na kaya niya pa. Isang matandang marami pang gustong gawin at patunayan, Kung nasa bingit sya, Ililigtas mo ba sya?

Sya si Fiesta.. Fiesta lang, walang Happy. Maliit palang siya iniwan na sila ng Nanay nya, kaya sila nalang ng Tatay niya ang magkasama sa buhay. Konduktora si Fiesta, doon nya nakilala si Nato Timbang Bayan. Ang problema, Simula iwan sila ng Nanay nya, wala nang ginawa ang Tatay nya kundi. Uminom ng uminom, maglasing ng maglasing.. Pero kahit ganon, Inalagaan at pinagsisilbihan parin ni Fiesta ang Tatay niya. Bukod sa Tatay nya si Nato lang ang lalakeng minahal niya, dahil si Nato lang ang nagmahal, rumespeto at trinato siyang babae. Pero may asawa at anak sa una si Nato. Dahil alam ni Fiesta kung gano kahirap lumaki ng kulang ang magulang kahit na buntis siya, Nagsakripisyo siya. Pinabalik niya si Nato sa pamilya niya.. dahil hindi niya kaya na may isang bata nanaman na lalaking kulang sa gabay ng magulang. Isang taong habang buhay nagsakripisyo para sa ibang tao, kahit kailan hindi nakaranas ng ginhawa at saya, Kung nasa bingit sya, Ililigtas mo ba sya?

Siya si Caloy, College student. May dalawang loko-lokong dorm mate. Ang problema, Long Distance Relationship sila ng girlfriend niya na si Angel. At dahil Long Distance nga, sa skype lang sila nagkikita. Walang intimate moment. Sa Anniversary nila balak nilang magkita at gawin na. Kasi parehas pa daw silang virgin at special ang first time nila at sa taong mahal lang nila yun ibibigay. Pero si Angel hindi sinasadyang nilapitan ng tukso at naibigay na sa iba ang first time niya, nang malaman ni Caloy nagalit siya.. Nagparty pag gising niya eh.. kasama niya na si Jenna sa kwarto at walang damit. Nahuli sila ni Angel. Isang binatang malayo pa ang pwedeng marating, na dumadaan sa mga problema ng mga karaniwang kabataan kagaya ng pag-ibig, peer pressure at pag-aaral. Kung nasa bingit sya, Ililigtas mo ba siya?

Kung may ililigtas ka sakanila, Sino kaya?

The Incredibles!

I want you to meet the dudes in my life! 

This is my cousin bating, without him I wouldn't be able to meet his crazy classmates. Very obedient and maka-Ate! but when he gets stubborn pahirapan talaga and he's really talkative. The thing is, he's really smart, very thankful that hindi nya ko pinapatulan every time we fight. Hahaha!

 Mark, very witty and full of sense, the one I can always run to whenever I have personal problems. He never disappoints me.. and I know that I can really count on him.

Gian, the crazy one. He laughs at everything even when sometimes its really corny. I talk to him often, we talk about random things.. and if you want to hang out with all of them make sure he's gonna come so everybody else will. I guarantee you, tried it many times and still very effective! Haha.

 Gerwin, the gym buddy! kaso I'm not going to the gym anymore. This was taken last summer pa. He's very nice naman but we barely bump into each other.

Paul, Best in Tulog! Joke hahaha. The blackmailer, he knows my dirty little secrets. I don't know if it's still called secrets because whenever, he always tells everybody that I can't cook. One time kasi I asked him how to cook Tocino cause I was alone and I have no choice but to cook for myself.. and obviously I asked the wrong person Hahaha. Arggggh! but still a great buddy. 

Sherwin, the funny one! He makes everybody happy.. but really, behind those. He's really the "lover guy". He's been with a really heart wrecking breakup and a fling. For the first time I've encountered a guy was ditched by a woman. Life is so unfair, Serious guys meet sluts while good girls meet jerks. WHYYYYY!

Carlo, the social media guy. He's very famous online and got so many likers, why? He's really nice and friendly naman kasi. I love this kid, the only one who calls me "Ate" ahhhhhh! . :")

Joey, he's really awesome! He really sings well and he's also very nice. He's really patient with the other guys, when somebody's teasing at him. He doesn't take it seriously. 

Michael, forget what I said about bating, This guy is talkative. Hahaha! The only talkative person I find very entertaining at the same time. When he tells about something, he even remembers the time the place and what he really felt at that moment. Sometimes matamad lang akong makinig pero I really like his personality. 

Christopher, cool and really funny! and he's really into music. He's heart was as big as he was. We've met for quite times but when we start talking to each other it never felt awkward, what a great guy! Sorry If we don't have picture together.

Rustom but they call him tomtom. The shy one, I was trying to take a picture with him but he always hides his face. When it comes to guitar.. what a monster! Sobrang galing nya lang naman. Reminds me of Aldrian.

Thank you guys for being always patient with me, I always interfere with your bonding and I really felt sorry for that. I always like your company because you never fail to make me laugh, cry and die a little. Thank you for being nice with me and I really appreciate everything that you did for me!! Loveyou boys. xoxo

Words do count.

Remember Ma'am Joma? the one I was boasting about in one of my blogs, My Physics teacher who always had some words of advices towards us. Here I'm sorry Ma'am I took this video secretly because I know that she wouldn't like it. Have a glimpse of what we had yesterday. I hope that you..too would appreciate how cool & great she was as well.

Justice..

There are three sides of the story..



The people who are fighting for their freedom, fighting for one vision. To them.. to get the rightful justice, you must fight for it hand in hand. They're doing these because they were against how the government run the country. For them.. negotiation is useless, so they use force. This government doesn't hear voices.. thus it hears guns & explosions. To these people, they must show the government how far can they go.. how much are they capable of.. to get the justice that they want. Even if takes to kill your own countryman, brother, neighbor.

There are the one's who were fighting for our country. Their duty is to serve their fellow countrymen. People who've always miss their love one's Birthday, Anniversary & even Christmas. People who leaves their wife & children without any guarantee of coming back. They'll spend the rest of their life protecting other people.. with the loneliness of being far with their families. Not knowing.. if they're children got bullied at school, did they get high grades. were they looking for them whenever they're sick? The Good News is there are people like this who are truthful to serve our country the Bad News is. They were never being able to be a good husband to their wives, never did the duty of being a father to their children. Getting hurt, shooting guns & dying like heroes. In the duty of serving this country. To them.. justice is being able to protect this country with all their might, Even if it takes to die for it.

And finally the innocent one's. Dying, getting captured as hostages..not being able to live normally because of the war. Living together with thousands of evacuees, sharing the same bed & food. Thinking every now and then if they still have homes to get back to. The children are getting involve too, they should be running, playing around. Studying and being able to go to school for their education. War took it all, everything. They get involve without knowing why, Why does it have to be them? What were they fighting for? Why does it have to go this far? Justice is when they get to live peacefully, away from this war. Away from the gun shots & explosions. What does it takes to end all this?

No one will really win in this fight, If it takes fighting with your own brother. Getting innocent people involve.. Was is worth it? Three perspectives. I want nothing but peace for everybody. We all live for a purpose & being able to stand for it was really admiring..but you see, If innocent lives were on the line. I think you need to step back find for another solution. Fight for your advocacies but never forget your humility. Humility is the true art of Justice! 

Every time that I go home sa jeep ako sumasakay, It just happened na punong-puno na and the woman beside me had a lot of baggage and she was with a little girl. Hindi na makaupo yung little girl because of the bag and the plastic her mother probably was carrying it in her lap. The little girl was just standing there in front of her mom so I decided to offer my lap. Her mom lipped thank you, I'm really glad that I offered my lap for the little girl to sit in, even though mahirap pala ang may kandong. Kawawa naman yung little girl because the jeep was fast and sa Samal pa sila bumaba. I'm not saying this because I want to boast that "yo there's a good samaritan here!" I was thinking of my Mom while I was carrying that little girl on my lap. My Mom used to do this everytime for me nung maliit ako.. I said to myself. Masakit pala sa legs and randam ko yung ngawit but the feeling was wonderful. Wala.. parang ang happy ko lang na nakagawa ko ng something for other people. While I was carrying that little girl I was holding her hands. Iniisip ko na sana paglaki nya.. wag syang maging kagaya ko kasi ako pasaway ako. Sana she'll be in good hands and by carrying her in my lap I did show her that it is good to help other people even though you don't know them. I really wish her well.

REPLY 1997

"The age of 18, we fall in love easily and worry too much about little things. The age of 18, the adults usually say at our age, we laugh at the simplest things. But at that time, we were serious. It was intense and harder than other adults."

"Go-Stop. You have to get a pair of the same card to earn points. Once, we tried to be pair too. But one day, we started to change. Becoming different people, why was it so hard to admit it? Everyone is different. That’s the way of the world. The way of growing up. The age of 18, we were growing up, and therefore changing from each other. And the same time, we had to confront another growing pain, that of accepting others.”

"A secret refers to something I don’t know about others. As I find out what I’ve believed isn’t the truth, secrets become even more secretive. The human mind is infinite. Neither it’s depth nor it’s end can be known. Some days, they fight to the death. Other days, they share their love for each other. Yes, the truth is inconvenient. But if we don’t accept that, we have to live with lies. We have to accept inconvenient truths. What we see is not all we know.”

“Life comes and attacks you when you least expect it. It might be sadness, or extreme fear. At that moment, what can we do is accept reality and admit we lost. We don’t know how life will turn out. There is no way we can avoid it. We just have to face it, and get hurt once in a while. But life sometimes thrills us with unexpected events. And gives us happiness when we overcome hardships. We never know how life will turn out. So we use all our sense to survive it.”

"Your future dream is about what you can do for a living. You’re about to grow up, but if you have empty dreams, who will take care of you? That’s why you have to be satisfied with the easiest dream. It hurts if you aim for a dream you can’t reach. Unsatisfied passion.. it’s quite painful. That’s why unrequited love is foolish. If you meet someone who likes you, it’s painless and it saves time. Let’s find what you can do, not what you want to do. You only live once. People have to be satisfied with an attainable dream. If your’e greedy with unattainable dreams, you’ll only get hurt. Empty passion only leaves you with heartburn. That’s why unrequited love is foolish. However, foolish unrequited love can have potential. That passion sometimes causes miracles. And sometimes, dreams come true from a distance. While you may not achieve the dream, getting close gives you the chance to be happy. Of course, that’s very rare. Unrequited love usually ends in failure. But it’s also sad if you’re afraid and you give up before you even try it out. First, do what you want instead of what you can. You only live once.”

"People believe that they are born with an invisible red string tied around their little finger. The string is tied to be a person the’re destinied to be with. However, it’s hard finding out who is waiting at the end. If red string of fate really exists, where will mine end?”

"The reason I like you? Because it’s you. Just you. That’s the only reason. I wish I knew. Then I could figure out how to stop liking you. If I can’t avoid it, I only want one thing. To stay as a friend who doesn’t change. For heartache. For love.”

"Relationships have levels. Mine with him was one of the easiest. A relationship that was easy to explain and easy to maintain. A casual relationship between old friends. But that day, I realized something. Ours could become one of the hardest. The hardest relationship, that between a man and a woman. Men and women expect different things, face different sides, and dream different dreams. The relationship between a man and a woman is of ever-lasting love and fighting. They get upset and console. They fight and make up. They hurt and they embrace. A relationship as complicated as manic depressive disorder. But the hardest part is, It can’t start if the timing is wrong. A complicated and too sensitive. There is one relationship that’s as difficult yet unavoidable. A relationship that’s tedious but inevitable. A relationship that lasts your entire life. That’s family. The only advantage of the most complicated relationship on earth that between a man and woman. Is that any situation can be reversed with one word. Back together.”

"Being a teenager is a stormy period because we don’t know any answers. We don’t know what we really want, who really loves us, who we really love, we struggle to find the answer. And finally, when we miraculously find the answer, we’ve already become adults and undergo big and small goodbyes.”

“Be nice to your parents while you can. Don’t regret it like me. I was too busy getting used to working Seoul. I didn’t come home for over a year. Whenever my parents called, I was so eager to hang up. When they asked about work, I would just get annoyed. All I said was, ‘I don’t know’, ‘I’ll tell you later’, ‘Next time’. And I just hung up. I didn’t even know that my dad was sick. He must have been so curious. Was I eating well? Was I keeping healthy? Were my coworkers nice to me? Were people looking down on me for graduating from community college? He would had a lot of questions. I don’t know why I thought it was so annoying. Do you know what he said before he passed away? He couldn’t even breathe well.. but he told me to go. He said he was fine, so I should go back to work. I should go back to work. He was afraid I would get fired.. He could say that..”

"There is no better time than now. That next time may never come. To talk about a next time that may never come when now is right in front of you, life is too short for that. If you give up now because you feel too weak or lazy, there is no hope for a next time. You never know what will happen in the future. Your next chance may never come.”

"First love. The reason why we think first love is beautiful is not because people we first loved were actually handsome or pretty. It’s because we were unconditional, innocent, or a bit stupid at the time of first love. And because we know that we can never go back to that young, passionate time of our days. First love is a bit rash. Without any calculation, we throw ourselves with passion and finally come to face failure. But it is at the same time dramatic, it comes with inexplicable feelings that we never get to experience again. So first love becomes the most dramatic moment of our lives. It’s okay to fail. Tragic stories stays longer than ‘happily ever after’. It’s nice to have that wonderful story as one chapter of one’s life. First love is a period of time. It never comes back. If the next loves comes, time has yield for that new love. It might not be as innocent as the first love, but it would be a little more mature, due to the pain suffered the first love. A person who dreams of love, is the one who waits. And a person who waits can recognize the love when it comes near him. After the romance, the real life comes in. Innocence gets dirty, passion gets cold, and youth gets old with cleverness. So first love becomes part of one’s exhausted daily life. That’s why first love looks like it can’t be accomplished. Because no one talks about a successful romance with first loves. Loving someone is a good thing. Thus, it’s okay to be like this. Even though, there isn’t a tragic drama in my life. But there is a familiarity like an old sweater. And if it gets tired, there is an excitement to reopen it. It was passionate and innocent. I miss that moment.”

One of the reasons why people get so sentimental…it's because memories are the only things that don’t change…when everything else does… there are things in life that you cant hold on forever, no matter how much you fight for it...

Sometimes destiny isn’t always good, it becomes playful... when you meet someone you learned to love, you thought it was destiny who made your paths cross... but what if making your paths cross is just a part of the game that the playful destiny create? making you realize in the end that the person you though that was destined for you wasn’t really meant to stay… but only destined to make you feel love and leave you when you’ve already fallen..

you can never own something that was never yours… so lets stop gripping on things we expect to last forever...

nothing lasts forever.

forever is a lie.

everything is transitory.

so while you have something in your hand, put in mind that its just borrowed... so that someday when its gone, it wont take you eternity just to let it go...

when your feelings get strong for someone, its always wise to stop for a while and give you heart a time to breathe... a time to use your mind to weigh the situation based on reason not on emotion... because the saddest thing that can happen is when one fall in love while the other wants nothing more than friendship...

love can sometimes be magic...

but magic can sometimes be an illusion...

there are times when I wish that I was limited to certain emotions... so that i'll never have to experience pain, never feel betrayed or disappointed, and never get my fragile heart broken... but the same thing means that ill never know how it feels to love and be loved in return... the thought of it kind of scares me... to have a heart that’s whole but numb… or a heart that’s broken but real...

someday we’ll all be looking back to those days we learned to love, get hurt, cry, and fight... maybe when that time comes, we’ll be laughing at our old dumb selves… realizing how stupid we were to stand up for things we knew weren’t really meant for us...
but I guess learning takes time, and mistakes make one’s journey fun...

Life is what we make it...

Love makes the world go round...

 Let’s Live, Love, and take whatever pain it brings...

Though its hard to wait around for something that I know will never happen…

Its harder to stop when I know it's everything I've always wanted...

I'm glad it happened.. were good friends and I'm thankful for that.
