2 Decades WOW


Wow! I almost don't want to believe it!
These times, it's kind of hard to live for 20 years. But I did it!
Wow.. Just Wow.

I'm a young adult now. ^_^
-and wow that's a big responsibility I know.
but still, I have no idea!
I once talked to my friend and she said that, back then, when we were still in high school, we think we're already grown ups and think we're mature enough.
So We start rebelling and do stuff adults do and all 'cuz we think we're old enough and we already knew life.

But now, my veiw in life just changed, I just realized that I'm just starting.
I'm just about to face life.
I have not even started!

just wow! How am I supposed to face the messes of adults?
How is being adult like?
I still have to figure all out.

Holy Thursday 2012

It's Holy Thursday yesterday.
It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.

Here in the Philippines, we have some traditions that we do during this day.
One is to cover pictures or statues of holy images to represent the death of Jesus Christ.
Another one is fasting, some people prohibit themselves of meat during the whole Holy Week.
and today,
We did the Visita Iglesia (Church Visit)
It is a practice done wherein we would visit 7 or more churches.

What we did is go inside the church, pray, light a candle, pass it to all family members, then pray again.

  • The first Church we visited is Saint Joseph the Worker Parish.
  • We then proceeded to San Antonio de Padua Parish
  • Next is Santa Ana Church
  • We also visited the city's oldest church. San Pedro Cathedral
  • Saint Jude Thaddeus Parrish was also visited.
  • We also went to the Redeptorist Church
  • Last but not the least, Carmelite Monastery Church


It was my first time doing this; and I'm happy. I was a very nice experience. The churches has also shown different ways to show honor to Jesus Christ. 
The Best!

Glee Cast 
Original Song by K.D. Lang
MUSIC VIDEO :


LYRICS
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

And constant (Constant) Craving (Craving)
Has always (Always) Been

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls to what's true
Or maybe it is life itself
Leads wisdom to its youth

Constant (Constant) Craving (Craving)
Has always (Always) Been

Craving
Ah...constant craving
Has always been
Has always been

Constant (Constant) Craving (Craving)
Has always (Always) Been
Constant (Constant) Craving (Craving)
Has always (Always) Been

Craving
Ah...constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
I was listening to this song, and I was crying after. 
Maybe I have a "constant craving" too after all.

REVIEW
I just watched it a moment ago, and I could say, I had a hard time preventing my tears. Nope! It's not a sad movie but it's very touching; and I can't help it~ I always get teary eyed when I can't take the cuteness overload! plus~ They're penguins. Penguins! <3
I also like the story. It focuses on the fatherly love of Mumble to his son, Erik. I love how he would do anything just for his son. Fantastic Penguin~ ^_^ .
So for the love of penguins, I give this a perfect 5 out of 5!
FAVORITE CHARACTER



MUMBLE
He is the cutest father! -and is willing to do anything just to impress his son. He is also very smart, loving, and sweet.  


FAVORITE SCENE



"Bum Bum Bububum-bum~" haha! Keeps playing on my head.
I love the teamwork! I just wish humans would be like this too.

Food Trip: "Isaw"

ISAW (ee’-sau)
Isaw is a street food from the Philippines, made from chicken intestines. The intestines are cleaned, turned inside out, and cleaned again, repeating the process several times. They are then either boiled, then grilled, or immediately grilled on sticks. 
They usually sell it on the sidewalks in a very cheap price, and I find it very yummy! especially when it’s still fresh from the grill. 
You can also dip it on the sauce of your choice, may it be vinegar or ketchup! sweat n' sour or spicy hot!  
You could also eat it as a viand or as a snack. Just eat it with rice then it can be a tasty viand.
But the buyer should also make sure that the intestines are cleaned well. -of course. You can also prepare it at home, just to make sure. :]

  • ENGLISH TRANSLATION


Alone in this slightly wide room unlike always
It’s over, guess it’s over
The story that we made went in vain
[We] fell apart this easily


One mistake, got a one regret
“No one’s perfect”
Even if I tried saying that,
Whatever I do, the wounds can’t heal

I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
I need a time machine
I need a time machine

The time I’m passing by alone is too slow
[This] mistake’s punishment is too heavy
The words that you last left
Up to now is replaying continuously
My heart still hurts


Just one mistake, just one regret
It’s selfish but it’s because love you


I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
I need a time machine

If I can jump through time and space and be able to meet you
Say, even if [we] come to the same conclusion,
there wouldn’t be any regrets for sure.

I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
Before our memories are forgotten
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine

Series: What's Up [왓츠업]


CAST:
GENRE:
  • School, Musical, Comedy, Romance
 TEASER:
REVIEW:
I would rate this series a 4 out of 5! I liked this series. First of, I have a liking on musical dramas, it has been one of my biggest frustrations. I love that the story does not only evolve on one person. It includes stories of other people, but there are times that other characters are already forgotten in the middle of the series (Ha Dosung), but it's still okay. ^_^.  
One of the things that I also liked is that they used classical songs. I love classical songs! 
FAVORITE CHARACTER:
KIM BYUNG-GUN
I like his character, and I can somewhat relate to him. Confidence only in the presence of his own.
OH DOO-RI
'Cuz just like her, I'm addicted to computer games! I also liked her story. A girl who cant show her real self because of the expectations and pressures of her mother. 
FAVORITE SCENE:


Byung-gun singing alone, desperate to find his confidence. Taehee struggling for her future and dreams.

Movie: Sunny (써니)


Sunny (써니)

The main reason why I watched this movie is because of Kang Sora who is currently the "make-believe" wife of Super Junior's Leeteuk in We Got married.
Many of my friends recommended this movie.
I hesitated at first because it looks old and corny
but I was wrong.
OMG! I really really love this movie. I even cried! -and I don't even know why I cried.
It's about Nami who wanted to reunite her group of friends who call themselves "Sunny".
She wanted to to this as their leader's (Chunhwa) dying wish.
The movie showed the lives of Sunny in their school days.
It shows everything that's in school such as bullies, campus crushes, clubbing, gang fights, and many more.
Sunny's members turned out to have popular members, not only in a good way.

Favorite Character:
SooJi
  • At first, every one would think that this girl is ladylike because of her face and personality. She may be silent but she can be one of the most terrifying enemy.


Favorite Scene:
  • When Sooji got mad because a girl tried to bully her friend. (she almost blinded the poor girl)
