Painstaking happiness

I know its been months since I last posted. I've been busy with my other blog especially because of its association to my thesis. This entry means a lot especially now that I keep on getting more confused in our sudden status quo. Anyway, here goes:

The most important man in my life has now found his better half. I am happy for him.. no doubt about that. But I really miss our bonding moments. I miss my movie buddy, my gadget hunter and my best friend. He is getting married soon and is slowly moving out of the house. The whole family now favors his decision and at the same time, his special someone is the ideal woman every man dreams of. The perfect companion

But somehow deep down, I still long for some time with him and it hurts. Am I just being selfish? 

Its been years since I last invested my feelings for someone so special and this is way too different from them. He's like my dad.. And yeah, its time he deserves the happiness he longed for. And because of that, the world I am used to is falling apart. Now I need to adapt a new environment. I must live with my mom once again. I just hope everything turns out different right now.

I hate it when you slowly let go of someone you've loved so much. It hurts.. but I know this is necessary so I can grow.

Dreamin Out Loud

Dreamin - OneRepublic

In the midst of paperworks and sleepless nights, I finally got the chance to snooze in ideal time.

Last night I had a dream.. and it's about this person from the past. Passing by with my friends that person was passing by too with friends. We stumbled into each other and that person just stared at me. While staring at each other's eyes, I had a flashback seeing that person years ago. Then it suddenly hit me that THAT person I stumbled across wasn't that person I met anymore.

So sad.. As I wake up from that short but heavenly dream, i've come to realized that I missed you. And that doesn't change anything does it? Oh well.. just like what they say.. people come.. and people go.

Happy Independence Day everyone.

On Prince Caspian

I just couldn't believe Prince Caspian is 10 years older than the book.. and his loveteam with Susan my gahd.. for the sake of entertainment. But it was ok what can I say it added spice to the movie. ;) Overall, the 3-hour movie was worth the wait. The effects were way better than the first movie. I used to like Peter (William Moseley) but Edmund changed my mind.. :p(Skandar Keynes is soooo handsome).

Now I can't wait for the third installment. How I wish I read the 4th book again so I could've compared the movie to the book. It's been 2 years since I last read the seven books. Anyway, Narnia: Prince Caspian is bigger and better that it won't disappoint you. :)

*thanks kai, pat, papa and cousins for watching with meh. :)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars :)

Gala

There's nothing else you'd ask for when you spend the whole day, getting the things you want and feeding your appetite with satisfaction.

I am just sad though for this is the last day of my real summer. Summer classes begin tomorrow and i'm gonna have to do the thing I hate most.. Wake up early. I was never a morning person. Even when I was in Grade School or Pre-school I hated waking up in the morning. So why am I doing this? to finish my Computer-Graphic Design subject and gain more free time for my thesis next semester.

Anyway, that's not the reason I posted. I wanted to write today's story using my beloved 'Maki' (in short for 'Makintab') and of course to recall what happened today. ;)

I woke up early because we had to give sandwiches for this organization who will be hosting a mural painting with the squatter's children along with their parents. Papa is sponsoring for their snacks and refreshment. After that we went to church in U.P then ate pizza and pasta at Napoli. We went to Metrowalk because we had to exchange a 'rejected' cd then of course bought new dibidis and audio cds. I myself saw the OST of Across the Universe and happily bought it with all my heart. :) Then goes Juno, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison and John Lennon.

After that Papa decided to watch a movie at Greenhills and see Nim's Island. I love it! Ever since i've seen Silence of the Lambs, i've now become a Jodie Foster fan. :) The movie is so light you could just relax and enjoy the island, Jodie, Abigail, Gerard Butler and their adorable animal friends. A must-watch film for the family.



After that we ate at Jollibee. I really wish I could buy that Speed Racer Kiddie Meal but my grandpa would just think i'm being childish again. Then, we strolled around VMall wherein I got accessories for Maki. Did I say cheap? It was actually worth it. Now that I have sleeves and a laptop cooler, all I need is a screen protector and a crystal case. Oh well, still gotta save more! :o

Anyway, I must go now.. Papa's asking for my Lan connection so he could download more songs. :o ciao!

Shutter-ed



Many people have warned me how bad this movie was but out of curiosity, what the heck?

But I gotta give it to them, i'd still prefer the original Thai version. The script was poorly written, actors were not that great and the horror element of the movie itself was NOT scary at all. Is it because I've already seen the original that made me un-surprised of the twists and the ending? Sure.. but the movie could've taken my breath away in another light.

The story wasn't that bad. In fact, it's the only thing that kept me awake the whole time. I'm amazed on how they managed to patch small loopholes from the Thai version by creating a different setting, different characters and still kept the original story. I love the cinematography. They've shown Japan in a beautiful way.. No wonder my sis is obsessed with that country. Although the effects didn't help that much. In fact, it wasn't even scary at all. You have to admit, Americans make good oscar-winning movies but when it comes to horror? they suck. Asians are much better when it comes to this genre.

So if you want to feed your curiosity go ahead and watch. But you'll probably realize later on that you'd rather watch Fools Gold or other non-horror American movies than this. It's just disappointing.

I miss Natre.. her creepiness is just too great for this. :p

Turning Japanese

Summer time! Boy my body surely missed this. Unfortunately, the lifestyle of pigging out isn't what I promised to do before summer class starts.

Grades hasnt been released yet. I wonder what my prof gave me in Pro Ethics. I hate that subject. Probably because I hate the time and the professor. I'm sorry, i'm being mean.. Not that I hate him.. I just don't like his way of teaching. There..

For the last time, I brought my hair to its doctor and hoped that its surgery will be successful. I've tried so many styles and this one was my sister's idea.

Its been a year since I last touched the keys of my baby Yamaha keyboards and my great grandma's German Piano. Thanks to my fear of forgetting my promise to my grandma (before she passed away), I brought my keyboards out of the dark and tried playing Apologize by One Republic. Man! After practicing the whole day, my hand ached like a broken bone. Seriously, it has been THAT LONG and i'm not proud of it. So one of my goals this summer is to be able to play at least 5 songs. Complete..

Anyway, I apologize for not writing creatively like how I used to blurt out all my tingling feelings inside my gut. It's just that my mind has been boggling me with sad thoughts for someone I deeply love. Someone who has been there for me and never left me in the dark. I just really wish that whatever he feels, it's not a symptom of anything serious. Because if anything happens to him.. I might not get a hold of my sanity. Get what I mean?

Hmm.. April 2 is so near I can smell the rush of the crowd creating a stampede towards our building. There's a 51% chance that I might choose the Total Ad Campaign path.. and a 49% of the Events category. Oh well.. I hope I make the right decisions. Because this is will be the ONE that will determine where I will stand for the next 5 years.

And so my creative juice has gone.. again. I'll try to get it back I guess as soon as I finish my lifestyle of being a junkie.. A screen junkie that is. ;)

Ciao. :0

Just-ine Time :)

I really find it amazing to see how things fell into place. Hard work paid off. We passed our ad campaign! :)

I'm happy for so many reasons. I got exempted from my photography finals, got a high grade from a strict professor, watch the Maroon 5 concert, was able to help a few people, and hopefully.. finish my plates because SUMMER IS SOOOOO NEAR!!!!!!!!! i'm just scared because in a few months, i'm already a senior. Again. And it's just weird because time flies so fast that I can still remember my memories from High School.

Hmm.. I wonder what thesis i'm going to take? and which thesis adviser to get or probably get me... hmm...
