"On Christmas Day"

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

            Christmas is a time of joy, a time of giving thanks and sharing gifts, it is also a time of forgiving and forgetting of unhappy thought, because Christmas is for us to be who we really wanted -- be who you really wanna be -- a kid for instant may have a docent candy cane, a girl with a broken heart may repair it self due to a certain boy on a Christmas party. Christmas is magical, it always be.. And in this particular day is the birth of our savior Jesus Chirst, no wander the word Christmas comes with it.  Also the day of getting together with our love ones -- family, friends, even your boyfriend and girlfriend are their for you! Christmas is not just for mistletoe or ginger bread, or whatever delicious meal we serve... Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.

            Having said those words, my friends and I decided to share our blessing to those unfortunate children. We packed and delivered goods to them, by the used of our own charity way -- we carol, sing a Christmas song to each house we passed, and giving clothes, shoes, or any useful material to them. In this gestured we made, I wished that many other people will help next year, or other year for the sake of those homeless children..  And I'm hoping with this humble gift that we shared may cause them a wonderful Christmas.

                               Wishing you a Joyful Christmas!

Love Ain't Enough

I have been listening to this song...

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough♫

I don't want to lose you but I don't want to use you just to have somebody by my side. I don't want to hate you, I don't want to take you but I don't want to be the one to cry.

And that don't really matter to anyone anymore. But like a fool I keep losing my place and I keep seeing you walk through that door.

(Chorus)

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much, and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust. There's a reason why people don't stay where they are. Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

Now, I could never change you I don't want to blame you. Baby, you don't have to take the fall. Yes, I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you. Maybe I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder it makes me feel like rain. And like a fool who will never see the truth, I keep thinking something's gonna change.

(Chorus)

And there's no way home when it's late at night and you're all alone. Are there things that you wanted to say? And do you feel me beside you in your bed, there beside you, where I used to lay?

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much, and it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch. There's a reason why people don't stay who they are. Baby, sometimes, love just ain't enough.

Baby, sometimes, love... it just ain't enough. Oh, Oh, Oh, No..

 MY POINT OF VIEW

 To fall in love is easy, to stay in love is a challenge, breaking up is disaster, moving on is HELL.The song tells us how does it feel to have a broken heart. Its so hard to move on. Everyday is agony. Every night you are wishing not to wake up the following morning because another morning means another survival. Yes, it's a blessing to fall in love but when the love fails, it's really hard to let go and move on. Once you love deeply and truly, your making that person not only a part of your life, he/she becomes your life actually. Hence, moving on is almost impossible. Your mind says "you can do it, move on", but how could you when your heart is in so much pain. You keep on asking yourself, "where will I start and how am I going to do it when everything I see, touch and hear reminds me of how beautiful the love was"?

And I believe you can fall in love with more than one person in life and everyone agrees that letting them go is the hardest thing to do. Finding the will to move forward is harder yet. You only hope that they will acknowledge that you loved them more than anyone they have known. Loving someone with everything you have got, you give them the power to hurt you. Sometimes u want to be careful not to love too much but we still find ourselves falling in love too much, that is the power of love. If i don't feel someone's love, i let them go in order to let go of the pain i feel inside.

This song helps me make good decisions!

Snack Peek!

This past few days, I have been hanging out with my friends. Most of us love to eat. So, here are the few snack place we went, just to grab some bit.

"Tsokolate"

A place where chocolate lover usually go. It fulls of sweet staff you can't resist. Due to its lovely ambiance and smooth atmosphere, it gave a relaxing treats to the mind. Their specialty are candy cakes and the infamous hot tsokolate. Tsokolate, is a tagalog and/or a filipino term, means chocolate. Tsokolate comes from a cocoa trees flourish. Tsokolate can also blend by other flavor such as coffee for instant and it turned into Chocolate mocha. I also found that Tsokolate can be adjusted even more to the adult palate by adding a little booze such as alcohol products like vodka. Isn't it wonderful to know that there are much more things to do to chocolate, not just plain old boring, but with a twist and turn, it can't never be that easy to the taste but much more to it.

"BigBite"

It is where the biggest burger in town! Yes people, no doubt about it. The burger in the picture might seems small, but if you look closely, it contradict your visual acuity. In fact, the burger serves five person. Plus, it also have french fries and an additional coke to it. Where else would you find such treat?! I know burger is not that quite popular when it comes to health. However, eating such treat also have its advantage, such as finding an amount of nutrient in one pack. The vitamins are there, the protein and carbohydrate is equally present. Just don't makes it a habit of eating hamburger every night and day, eating to much of it may also affect your system. Its better to prevent than cure I always say. 

"Tambayan"

A place where people wishes to unwind and to rest after a load of hard work. People tend to seek a prompt way to get out of there stressful life. So, here is the right place to be. This place provides a variety of mouth watery meals that will satisfy your taste bud. Not just the taste, it will also makes you satisfy with the lovely ambiance it have. There are couches and board that allows a person to express his or her thought, just write it down to a piece of paper and stamped it on. Tambayan by the way is a tagalog word for hanging, where people spend their time accompanying together. It's always wise to relax a bit. A friend helps us in many ways, with out them we are nothing but single soul with no purpose in life. 

 

"Make A Choice" 

 Wondering what to take? Is this foods healthy? What's the content of this one? What are you buying? This are the usual thing we tend to talk. But why do we bother to ask such question, when in fact we know it to our self. We makes a choice, yes. But is it right? We asked question because we want to make sure if it is the right thing to do. Choosing a variety of food also reflects our own personality. The way we eat, the way our manner is, it all has its equal value. A pickle minded person, is changeable, having  a lower satisfaction effect to ones self.

Choose Wisely! 

Till next time.

From Books To Films

Reading books always fascinates me, it always do till now. I have been reading since grade school, mostly tagalog books. And now, I'm very fond of reading english novels. Reading novels not only makes your imagination and creativity wider, it also makes your vocabulary more elevated. And due to our modernity, we most likely go on a higher level such as making books into films! So, here are the two novel I have recently finished reading and of course watching.

"Atonement"

Before commenting on the story it self, first we most know the definition of the title - Atonement, to seek forgiveness and/or amend to a particular wrong doing or inflict of pain. Now, your wondering why the title is like that. Let see, the story tells about a young english girl, name Broiny who has the talent of writing. This girl tend to confused reality. Due to her immaturity and misunderstanding, she ruined the relationship between her sister Cecilia and Robbie, who are both harboring deep affection. 

At first, I'm strongly sure this novel would have a happy ending on it, a beautiful end to a tragic start. However as the story goes, it exceeded my expectation into astonishment. It was a tale tell of Broiny, that give me goose bumped! They both die in this story, and I shade tears, soiling my good handkerchief. And when I found out that there would be a movie, I promptly watched the film! It was wonderful, the actors and actresses portraying them act smoothly between characters. The chemistry and the excitement is there! All in all, it was a watchful film.

"The Lovely Bones" 

 

Here is the second novel and film that I finished. The lovely bones is a story of life, death and family, there are more emotion in this moving film. One of my favorite lines, is where Susie finally enters Heaven, telling the audience: "My name is Salmon, like the fish; first name Susie. I was 14 years old when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. I was here for a moment and then I was gone. I wish you all a long and happy life." It gives me a chill and it makes me cry all the way through. I was very furious on the slow investigation of the inspector. However, I can not blame him, they just don't have enough evidence to prove it. And there, where Lindsey, Susie's sister go. The excitement, the suspense, it was there, the very present. I was very glad that Lindsey finally get the evidence, but the criminal sudden flee. But justice always prevailed and the killer get what he deserve for. He died in the end. So there you have it, a very well made film and good story plot.

Happening on Year 2011

Hello!

Its been a while of not posting an entry on my blog. Though no one actually view it but still it needed to be update somehow or else it'll just rot. Hehe. All right as my title goes, I'm going to tell you my dear reader how my year 2011 spend. Well, for starter I wanted to tell you that I already graduated from college. 

 Hooray! Oh, I also got my pin and ring. Did I ever mention my course? Right.. I did not, so I take BSN and it stand for Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I took up the course because my parents told me so? Yep, they encourage me to take it. At that moment, I'm not really sure what to take so, I obey and trust, that's it, and here I am now! Freshly grad from college. Happy! But this is not the end of my journey, in fact this is just the beginning. I'm currently taking my review and in this year I'm going to take my NCLEX . So, wish me luck!

What else happened? Let see, okay I got new friends. They're a bunch of fun people, they always makes me laugh with no particular reason, they're a bunch of nutter too. Ahaha. Mind you, their knowledgeable lots. We spent our time eating, no wonder we look fat, alright scratch that, we're not that fat, just a bit chubby. We love taking pictures, specially Far. Real name is Faizal, first name Farnalyn, we call her Far for short. We also call her Giraffe due to her height, she's the one holding the camera. The one with a strip dress on the left side of Far, is Joyjoy, first name Esthenelle Joy and last name Ipanto. She's the happy go luck type of a person. She's like our ice braker who always makes us laugh out loud. The other one with a black dress on my right side is Karm. Karmina Lakibul, she's gentle and the nicest person among us. Lastly Minmin, she's not in the picture though, but she's in our circle of friends. Well, Minelen Adam is like our mother, she's always there when you need her, always the caring type, that's why I like her. 

 The year 2011, is the most memorable memory I have, why? Because in that year, I experienced the joy of having a true friends and a loving family. The tears we shade, the laugh we share, it just makes me glad to be alive. Even though we have our bumps and hardship still we never forget to smile, to enjoy life as a person. To loved beyond words...

I'm hoping this year would be one of a kind and never makes me bloody bored. Later!

Psychological thriller, Absolutely chilling!

I been reading this awesome book only for three days and it made me wanna read more! this book give me the chill, a creative story with the blind of psychology and drama.. A bizarre and disturbing story, wonderfully told by the author.. really fascinating! Tombs up for Donna Tartt for making such wonderful book.  

From wikipedia:

The Secret History tells the story of a closely knit group of six classics students at a small, elite Vermont college, similar in many respects to Bennington College (in Bennington, Vermont) where Tartt was a student from 1982 to 1986. Tartt's tale has certain parallels with the unsolved case of Bennington art student Paula Jean Welden who vanished while hiking near the college in 1946.

One of the six students is the story's narrator, Richard Papen, who reflects, years later, on the situation that led to a murder within the group, implying such at the outset but otherwise revealing events sequentially. In the opening chapter, as the reader is introduced to Papen, the death of student Edmund "Bunny" Corcoran is revealed, although few details are given initially. The novel undertakes to explore the circumstances and lasting effects of his murder on an academically and socially isolated group of students attending Hampden College in Vermont.

The impact on the students is ultimately destructive, and the potential promise of many young lives is lost to circumstance. It mirrors, in many ways, the notion of a Greek tragedy with fate playing a large part in dictating the very circumstances that lead to an escalation of already fermenting issues.

Personal Issues, Last year 2009!

My personal problem is lack of concentration and test anxiety. Lack of concentration is because of my bad habit that is grown on me which is always spacing out all the time and thinking too much of random things. i had not able to concentrate on anything even focus in my studies is hard for me to do, that is why i'm having test anxiety. when i take my quiz, i always feel shaky, sweaty and i feel my heart beat fast. and also i'm a little bit stressed to be in deadline with my requirement, but its not overwhelming. so, i decided to seek an advice. i ask my friend for it and she kindly schedules a day for the both of us. it was sunday in the afternoon that we decided to go to church to attend the mass. we were both quiet and listen to the priest attentively. the priest talks about the words of the Lord which is love and peace of mind. after the mass we walk and talk for a while, then go on our separate way. my friend said that i should meditate, so i take her advice and sit quietly with eye close, and repeat it ten times, and talk to the Lord about my problem. i pray our father, hail merry and glory be, repeating it ten times as well as i ask for forgiveness to the people i hurt. God helps me realize my faults, my sin and He ease my problem by giving me hope and courage to face my fear. God give me determination to face all of my challenge. and because of that i will do my best to concentrate on one thing as well as to relax myself, avoid thinking random thought that will not help me and always to be true to myself.
