My being film addict

I must admit, I have not done anything yet so far. My examination which is due tomorrow, my paper due tomorrow, a report due tomorrow, and an assignment due on Saturday. I know I have been so lazy but I cannot help it but I love watching amazing films. Like last night when I was about to do a paper, i watched The Proposal, then early today when I was about to do that very paper, I watched Step Up 3D. It's just that maybe I appreciate the arts nowadays, perhaps I have been deprived of watching films on the previous semesters. Now I am so stocked up with my academics. I do not even know how to fit them in my schedule. But I can manage, I hope. Yes, I hope I can manage my time efficiently and properly.

Christmas Poem by my Aunt Emy

Pasko Na!

Malamig na simoy ng mabangong hangin
Na tanging sa pisngi ng langit nanggaling,
...Ang inihahatid
Sa bukas na dibdib
Ng sangkalupaang dagi sa hilahil
At sala sa lalong tapat na dalangin. . .

Sa likod ng bundok ay namamanaag
Ang kaakit-akit na isang liwanag;
Ang ibinabadha
Ay malaking tuwa
Na di mag siyang malalasap
Ng lahat ng taong may mabuting hangad.

At ang ating puso ay muling hahagkan
Ng madlang ligayang di mapapantayan-
Ang diwa ng Pasko
Ang pista ng mundo-
Ang araw na siyang sa ati'y nagbigay
Ng buhay sa puspos ng madlang kariktan.

From the first time I read this, I liked it already.
I just read it in my mom's wall posted by my aunt Emy.
I am so proud of her, she knows how to write poems in four languages- English, Filipino, Pangasinan, and German, and I don't know if she still knows other languages aside from these.
She's just amazing. She is in the country now, I was not able to see her last week due to her busy schedule.

A day without laptop and net

Yes that was when I first arrived here in the dormitory and discovered that I left my laptop's cord and some of my stuff. Yes, that's how stupid I am when it comes to packing my stuff. Ate Rosie and Ate Che-che, our family helpers went home at the same time, so no one was able to assist me with my stuff. I was used to doing that stuff with one of them. But this time, I did it on my own. I am fine doing it alone in my little space at the dormitory, but not at home. Anyway, thanks to my dad because I received a box of package 24 hours after I sent him SMS. I realized that I need a daily dose of internet  and laptop especially because almost document I needed are safeguarded herein.

Two films in a day

Yesterday was amazingly great! I watched two Metro Manila Film Festival entries in a day! this was because it is a requirement in my BC 181 class to critique a film of MMFF. At first, I watched Ang Tanging Ina Ny'ong Lahat Last Na 'To- I was late five minutes for Rosario in Trinoma so I decided to just watched this year's Best Picture.

After watching it, I was not contented thinking I might not fully criticize the film due to its near-perfection. So I decided to go to SM North and check the schedule of Rosario therein. Luckily, I was a bit near to the time of its show. I ate my dinner first then went inside the theater. Rosario was made perfectly, though the ideologies behind it can be easily criticized. That is the reason why I will be writing about it as my paper for a class.

Spending much money for these great films was worth every peso. I learned a lot and was able to appreciate films made and produced by Filipinos. It's just uncomfortable to know that the films still have the same genre and story just like the films ages ago. I hope Filipinos will try to be more experimental and critical on the stories they produce and make into films.

Everyday I can't stop thinkin' bout you
And as time passes by you are always on my mind
And I guess you think my heart's torn in two
Girl that past is long gone coz it's you that I love

I can't take away those pretty eyes
And I can't get over that beautiful smile
And I promise you, everything i'll do, for you

You are my world
You are my life
You are my heart and my soul
I'll give you my all
You're what I've searched for
You're what I've been waiting for
Yes it's you I adore
You're what my heart beats for
I love you

I remember the first day I saw you
You were so simple and plain, you took my breath away
And I remember the first date that we had
I was so nervous and scared though I knew I was prepared

My hands were shakin' my mind was achin'
Didn't know what to do it was my first time datin'
A girl like you, my love, is true

You are my world
You are my life
You are my heart and my soul
I'll give you my all
You're what I've searched for
You're what I've been waiting for
Yes it's you I adore
You're what my heart beats for

I'll do everything possible to show you
How much I care and how much I love you
Girl you are my only inspiration
In writin' this song
Cause'

You are my world
You are my life
You are my heart and my soul
I'll give you my all
You're what I've searched for
You're what I've been waiting for
Yes it's you I adore
You're what my heart beats for

I remember the first time i called you
Didn't know what to say
Now I ask if I may
Love you

This is EPIC

DeMolay Recruitment

It is really difficult to invite people who will be your future brethren. I say difficult because you have to really screen out everything from his academic background, to his social life. To really decipher whether ot not he truly deserves the title of being a DeMolay.

I personally sent my invitations with my personal testimonies to some Facebook friends whom I know. I hope to get positive responses from these chosen-few boys.
