Everything’s over, right? There should be no YOU and ME anymore
There should be YOU and HER this time.
The day you broke my heart, the day you made me cry, the day you destroyed my trust, was the day when we were over; supposedly over.
It took a while for me to move on; to recover; to stand up again.
It hasn’t been hard for you because you got her. You got her and I let you go.
I tried so hard to get rid of this pain I was feeling since you left me. I tried hard not to make things complicated for the two of you.
But you made me hold on. You asked me to stay although we knew we couldn’t be the same again.
Things have changed as time passed by. I wasn’t supposed to be hurting anymore. I was supposed to smile whenever I meet you with her.
Because I agreed to be your best friend again, and I agreed to treat her right again.
But I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t try and be nice to someone who stole half of my heart from me. I just can’t smile lightheartedly to someone who took you away from me.
So I couldn’t be nice and because I wasn’t nice, I was hurt more.
Because you tried to make us get along well and made me change myself for her.
But why me? Why should I do it I the first place? Why should I follow you and be nice to someone who stole you away from me.
And due to my bitterness, I became the bad girl; the bad “ex-girlfriend”.
I became bad in the eyes of her friends, in the eyes of your friends. And you know what hurt me more? Because you didn’t stand up for me.
You allowed those people to scrutinize me; to judge me; to make me feel bad.
You tolerated her insecurities and allowed her to spread bad rumors about me; allowed her friends to think ill of me; to believe that I was trying to steal you back from her.
Lately, I was trying to be happy. To forget all about you, all about her, all about us.
But why am I still aching? Why do I still feel the pain in my heart whenever I think about the two of you?
Am I being insecure myself? Am I being like her? Am I being like my rival just because my heart still beats for you?
Do I really have to stay like this? Do I have the right to stay like this? Do you have the right to put me in this misery for almost three years?
I don’t know the answers to my questions anymore. I don’t even know if I would be able to forget you in the future.
But all I know now is that my heart still aches for you and I still get jealous of her.

Okay, so I guess I was just too excited to blog about this. Dhawell, I beat you! haha!
Yesterday, I received a text message from Marcherry inviting me to her birthday. Ok so who is Marcherry? Familiar? Well she was the one of those I mentioned in the blog I posted before with a picture of her and Akeem at Lake Agco.
So Marcherry and I know each other although we haven't actually hang out together yet so I might say we aren't really close. Just common friends with Akeem and Dhawell so it surpirsed me when she invited me.
I texted Dhawell and I told March that I'm going to go. The party was supposed to start at 8pm. I came late because it rained and I have to wait for my brother to come back to drive me to Crown Regency because taxis weren't available at that time.
Luckily, we're Filipinos. The party started at 9pm. I was so happy to see Tracy and Ceejaye with Kuya Kid there because it has been so long since I've seen them and I've missed them so much.
So we ate dinner and had some games afterwards. Ceejaye won on the San Mig Light Bottoms Up contest and she won a gift certificate from SM City.
Then we had more games afterwards, the drinking games and the grand prize was a date with March, of course. Dhawell mentioned it will be at Pearl Farm and he and Akeem will be paying. Oh jeez, kill yourself, Dhawell! haha!
At around 11pm, I guess when the after-party has started and March became busy entertaining other guests, the TAEBOIZ arrived. Yay! Yes, them! haha! I missed them so much actually and I was just too happy to see them again.
Since they were there, then the inuman sessions started. Tequila, Fundador, Red Horse, Vodka Cruiser, Mudshake, Coke and Water! haha! I took a drink since I haven't seen them for so long, I think I should pay some price also for not going with them before.
As the guys went drunk, the night got deeper, we all became happier with our singing sessions. Since the party was held on a Residencial Hotel, we were even told off by the Task Force because our voices were disturbing the other occupiers.
It was really fun. I mean I haven't done this with them for such a long time and God knows how much I love and miss these people.
So yeah, I went home at around 4:30 am. I woke up at 8, imagine that! Body clock never stops functioning! haha!
Marcherry, today's actually your birthday! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and thank you so much for inviting me! Hope you'll have a good time when you go to London.

Sypnosis: Jane is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless--a perennial bridesmaid whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane's boss--with whom she is secretly in love--Jane begins to reexamine her "always-a-bridesmaid..." lifestyle.
Review: always a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride. That's Jane Nichols, alright. A selfless favorite bridesmaid played by Katherine Heigl.
This movie is about a woman's selfless love to people whom she knew are very important to her and soon, she was unable to find her own self, or even her own life.
This is a typical love story of a woman who wore 27 Dresses on a wedding which were not hers and a man, just trying to upgrade his status on a newspaper column. Together they met, had some adventures and fell in love.
27 Dresses shows women that probably the reason why they don't get married in times that they wanted to was because they were actually neglecting the right men who re already in front of them as they tried to be noticed by the wrong ones.
Synopsis: Angus, a young Scottish boy, finds an enchanted egg. Taking it home, he soon finds himself face-to-face with an amazing creature: the mythical "water horse" of Scottish lore. Angus begins a journey of discovery, facing his greatest fears and risking his life to protect a secret that would give birth to a legend.
Review: I know that the Water Horse is a story derived from the legend of the Loch Ness monster. A monster spotted in Loch Ness, Scotland sometime during the war in the 1930's. Many claimed that this "monster" was real but as years went by, it has merely became a legend.
This was the most popular photo taken of the believed monster sometime in 1934. Many said it was fake and some believed that it was real and that the monster existed.
Because of the legend, a fictional story of the Loch Ness monster has been created and that was what I watched together with Dhawell I think last Wednesday.
In the movie, amidst the war happening between Scotland and the Nazis of Germany, a kid named Angus found comfort and friendship with this legendary monster called the Water Horse. It was beleved that the Water Horse only lays an egg when it gets old and before the egg hatches, the parent dies living the newborn Water Horse as an orphan.
It was only a legend thought but Angus, her sister and the house's handyman believed that it esxisted as they took care of it.
It was such a cute childish movie but since Dhawell and I loved fantasy movies like this one, we well appreciated the story of love and trust between humans and monsters.
Plus, in the movie, the picture I posted above was made to be fake as a journalist tried hard to capture a photo of the monster and because he failed, he made a fake dummy of the Water Horse and took a shot of it on the sea, resulting to that photo which has already been known around the world.
Joo Jin Mo - Lee Shin Jeon/Chase Lee
Lee Bo Young - Kang Eun Seol
Choi Joon Young - Kim Pil Suh
Kim Soo Hyun - Park Joo Won
Synospsis:
23 years ago, Kang Eun Seol's father, Kang Jae Ho, stole the position of Lee Shin Jun's father. This led to Lee Shin Jun's father to commit suicide with his wife and son. Now 23 years later, Lee Shin Jun, also known as Chase, wants revenge and isn't going to stop until he gets it. He makes Kang Eun Seol fall for him, so that he can get to her father. But there is a twist, Lee Shin Jun has also fallen in love with Kang Eun Seol, but Lee Shin Jun's partner, Park Joo Won loves him too... Later Eun Seol finds out about Shin Jun's revenge plot against her father and she decides to get revenge on him for using her..
Review:
Story: I actually didn't know how the synopsis said that eun Seol took revenge after finding out that Shin Jeon just used her to get back to her father when no revenge actually happened as I watched the whole 20 episodes.
Well, Eun Seol pretended that she took revenge but it was only to end the war between the two families as she realized that they can never be together as long as her father's still alive, and Shin Jeon's mother as well.
Actually, I only took a risk in watching this series because I never knew about it at all. I mean, I only read the synopsis and told myself, why not try watching this? This is the first time for me to see Joo Jin Mo act, aside from some bits and pieces in Fashion 70's, and Lee Bo Young as well.
I knew Joo Jin Mo was also the lead in the blockbuster Korean hit movie, 200 Pounds of Beauty with actress Kim Ah Jong although unfortunately, I haven't seen that movie yet no matter how many times I promise that I would.
They did not fail me though. As I've watched the whole 20 episodes, I've been mesmerized by how well the story went and how well the episodes have connected with each other. Each episode ended with a nice cliffhanger that makes you want to sit down and watch another hour of the next episode.
This series tells a story about revenge and how love has won over evil deeds. It told a legend of undying love and patience until they reached onto a happy ending. I was never bored in every episode and I know I will really not fail if I recommend this to other k-series lovers.
Characters: The character that I loved most here was of course, Kang Eun Seol. All throughout the series, she has shown her tough side and her ability to move a person by love. Being brought up in a welthy family, she has never looked down on people who weren't on her level and she fought for what she believed was right even though it meant breaking her father's heart.
As she fell down together with the illness of her father, she learned to stand on her own feet and fight for life as she got bothered again by the same person whom she loved and left years ago. =]

So I'll just write a Time-table here to show you how my trip to Zamboanga went. =]
First of all, the reason why I went to Zamboanga was because I wanted to experience long travels and since my mom has a Mindanao Congress there, I took the chance.
We were supposed to take the plane which will take around 30-45 minutes from Davao to Zamboanga but I thought it'll be too boring if we'll do that so I told mom that I wanted to travel by bus. Since land travel takes around 18-20 hours from Davao to Zamboanga. Plus, you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of nature!
February 20, 2008
8:30 pm
Mom and I went to the Davao Terminal to catch the 10pm bus. We went early because mom wanted to sit in front.
10:00pm
The bus started it's six-hour journey to Cagayan de Oro via Buddha. At around 11pm, we reached Buddha and since it rained that night, the road was so foggy with zero-visibility that the bus has to slow down to avoid any unecessary accidents. Then I slept afterwards.
February 21, 2008
4:00am
We reached Cagayan de Oro. We took a Multicab going to the other terminal where we will wait for three hours for the first trip to Zamboanga. It wasn't a long wait because I had fun at Dunkin' Donuts which was open for 24 hours.
6:30am
The bus going to Zamboanga arrived and mom and I sat in front once more. The television went on and we had some Resident Evil marathon.
7:00am
Bus started its journey to Zamboanga. I wondered how would it feel to be inside the bus for 12 hours. haha! Sun Cell signal went down.
9:00am
We stopped over at "Iligan" terminal. We stayed for around 30 minutes there because the door of the bus was fixed.
9:30 am
Journey restarted. We stopped over several terminals and we passed by several known cities such as Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Zamboanga del Sur, Pagadian, Sibugay, Ipil.
8:00pm
Finally! We arrived at Zamboanga terminal. Mom and I expected to see a cab pass by but we were surprised when they told us that there were no regular taxis there and that we have to take the "tricycle" to be able to go where we wanted to go.
8:20pm
we arrived at La Casa Maria. The hotel that was booked by mom's congregation for us to stay in. Finally, I can tuck in with a nice bed.
10:00pm
I went to sleep as I realized it has been almost 24 hours that I was awake with only little nap times.
February 22, 2008
8:00am
I woke up and mom said we should hurry so we could go out and explore the city.
9:30 am
We went to Jollibee to have our breakfast. I was talking to Nicca on the phone. Then we went to the "bayan" or what we call downtown here in Davao to explore the mall. So the Mindpro Citimall, the beautiful Immaculate Conception Cathedral and the Ateneo de Zamboanga University were located there.
10:00am
We went inside Mindpro Citimall. I was amazed because I felt like I was in Spain inside the mall because the department store music was in Spanish and the announcements and poster warnings were in Spanish and yeah, people speak Chavacano, the broken Spanish language that only Zamboanga people could speak.
11:30am
We had lunch at the Foodcourt then we went back to the hotel to rest. Indeed, I was still tired after the 21-hour journey that we had from Davao the other day.
February 23, 2008
Mom went to her Congress at 8am and I went out on my own to Mindpro at around 9:30 am to meet Apple! Yeah, I met my daughter for the first time!
She was busy that day so we weren't able to spend a lot of time together. We only had a little chat at the foodcourt and she told me the places worth going into in Zamboanga. At around 11:30 am, she already left for her business and so, I ate my lunch and went out to Fort Pilar.
Apple told me that the Fort was made years ago to prevent the invasion as Nuestra Sra. del Pilar saved the Zamboanga people.
The fort has a shrine. A very beautiful shrine where you can pray and light a candle. It also has a National museum, but the museum was closed because it was the weekends.
I was supposed to go to Pasonanca. A park near Apple's abode but the heat of the sun was melting me so I decided to go back to the hotel and probably just go out again in the afternoon.
But I fell asleep and woke up at around 4 pm. I was so damn beat so I decided not to go out anymore and I waited for mom to come home and we ate dinner at the hotel restaurant.
February 24, 2008
Mom went to her Congress again and I just stayed back at the hotel and watched Disney Channel until 12 noon. We checked out of the hotel, had our lunch and went to the terminal for our next journey to Iligan.
Since the Iligan-bound bus will leave at 6pm, we took the Pagadian-bound bus and when we got there at around 7pm, we took another bus to Iligan.
We arrived at Iligan at around 12 midnight and we fetched a Public Utility (PU) car. He took us to another hotel and we booked him to bring us to Ma. Cristina Falls and Tinago Falls the next day.
I dropped onto the bed and fell asleep after a while.
February 25, 2008
I woke up at around 6am with a beat head but I was immediately filled with excitement as I though about our plans for this day.
We checked out of the hotel at around 8am and kuya Jeffrey, the PU driver fetched us and took us on tour.
I was amazed because Iligan has this Kalesa or a horse-drawn carriage and kuya Jeffrey told us that it was actually being used as transportation around downtown Iligan.
Then our next stop was the Maria Cristina Power Plant. It was known in the Philippine Education that the Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan is the number one source of energy in Mindanao. In fact, it supplies around 40% of energy in Davao City.
We were toured inside by the guard and I was amazed at how beautiful the Falls was. The guard said that that wasn't fully opened yet because they fully open the dam every Sundays at around 11 in the morning. We went there Monday.
But even if it wasn't on full blast, I still found it wonderful and I was thankful at how well the people in Mindanao was able to think of ways to use nature in our necessities.
Then afterwards, we were taken to Tinago Falls, another Iligan wonder. Kuya Jeffrey briefly told us about the history of the falls. He said that at around Year 2000, the resort was fully developed. There was a mini zoo and there were cottages for overnight staying.
But it was foreclosed by the bank and afterwards, it was owned by the government and the development stopped. The animals in the zoo were taken away and the cottages weren't maintained.
Indeed, when we got there, I was disappointed with the resort and surprised that with only a 10 PHP entrance fee, we will already be able to go and enjoy the falls.
We went down 265 steps accompanied by the falls guide named Joel. He's gay, by the way.
It was such a tiring journey but everything was wiped away when I was finally able to see the falls. It was such a beauty and no matter how bad the resort up above looked, it was nothing compared to how amazing the falls looked.
A lot of people say that this falls was enchanted because there were already a lot who drowned and died while bathing in. But Joel told us that most of the visitors who drown there were those who swim without lifevests and men who go and explore the midst of the falls without anything to protect them.
So I took my lifevest and started swimming down the falls. Indeed, even though I knew how to swim, the strong current from the falls scared me and made me realize that lifevests sure are helpful. Because even though you knew how to swim, if you aren't familiar with the place, it'll really feel different and really scary.
So I didn't have much fun swimming around the falls because I was alone. I mean, it would have been really really fun if I was with friends or my family. So I told my mom that we should definitely go back there with my cousins.
So at around 12 noon, we took the 265 steps up back to civilization. Kuya Jeffrey drove us to Cagayan de Oro where we took the 3:00 pm bus back to Davao City.
We arrived home at around 10 pm and the rest was history. What I've said, I definitely will go back to Zamboanga soon with my cousins and of course, enjoy the beauty of Tinago Falls in Iligan once again.

Oh how these three legendary Chipmunks love Christmas!
Ok, let's say the movie wasn't a total 5-stars for me but Alvin, Simon and Theodore are!
They totally rock especially their cute little voices!
The movie was quite disappointing though but yeah, thanks to the great Chipmunk acting, I was able to sit through it until the end.
Alvin, simon and Theodore were not your typical chipmunks. Because they don't only talk English, they can also sing.
That brought them to fame but fame has all it. For these little kids have been abused for money.
Oh well karma has it for the abuser Uncle Ian but cuteness has it for these three "rodents" expecially Thodore! =]
A rich corporate businessman and a normal auto mechanic met in the room that they were sharing at the hospital and shared the same fate. Both have cancer and only had 6 months to live. And both had the same goals listed in their Bucket List.
This movie tells us the story of how to live life to the fullest while you were alive. That means living in both the material world and the emotional world.
Travel all you want, do extreme stunts as much as you can, appreciate the beauty of nature and the people around you.
It may be not your normal teen movie but this story can really move you emotionally as you watch how these two different personalities share the same happiness and satisfaction in life.
This movie can really help you appreciate what you've got and try things that you would never dare try as you live in the earth.
It was definitely heart-warming and I salute Freeman and Nicholson's wonderful acting.

That title wan't really mine. I got it from this BLOG. I just wanna share the comment that I replied in his blog which goes...
In the light of all the hulabaloo that surrounds Philippine politics right now, allow me to speak up, though my voice may seem small. I'm gonna do it bulleted style. I'm too scattered to construct my thoughts the old fashioned, paragraphed paradigm. So here it is.
* Gut feel tells me not to COMPLETELY BELIEVE everything Jun Lozada is saying.
*It is a given fact that the Philippine bureaucracy is rotten. But that did not start during the Arroyo administration. I know all of us wanted a change, who doesn't, right?!
*Another People Power Revolution won't solve the age-old problem!!!!!!!! Unity is the answer!
*I don't think Cory Aquino is really nationalistic. If she (and the oppositionists) is really nationalistic, she would have thought of the disgust and the bad effect it would have on our economy. Political instability is a big factor in delaying the country's economic growth and we are so fetching good at that!!!!
*We need to get our act together if we all want positive difference!!!!
*But please, no more rallies again. Those things make me numb and apathetic.
And this is my reply:
sometimes, real life can be like those TV series that we watch nowadays. not all TV series were fictional. and so much like a drama as it may seem, what's happening in our politics is definitely real...
but sometimes, i couldn't help but hope that as i watch those senate hearing on TV and such, i could fast forward everything so i may know what'll happen in the end.
i sometimes hope that jun lozada's point of view could be seen 24/7 so i may know about what he was thinking and for me to 100% believe everything he was saying.
as i watch jun lozada deliver his "speech" as what they say, part of me believes that he is telling the truth. in fact, all of me is trying to believe that he was saying was true.
but also, i couldn't supress the fact that sometimes, i hope that i can actually penetrate his mind and read all his thoughts as he speak, so i may know if he really was telling the truth or not.
all these conspiracy happening to our government nowadays are just making the economy more complicated. i admit i want to believe jun lozada and i admit that i am also against GMA's regime but don't you guys think that instead of thinking about whether GMA should stay or not; instead of telling the whole country on whom to believe, we should just go and do something to help our economy rather than skulking along the streets, rallying for what we believed was right?
i have nothing against rallies and such, what i was trying to impose was that i guess it was better to just DO SOMETHING rather than SCREAM SOMETHING...
for i believe that CHANGE can only be done if we work...not if we talk... =]
haha! well i was just sharing. click on the link aboive to view the original posts and thanks to the owner of that blog for allowing me to express what i wanna express. =]

Never Forget...Never Forgive. Indeed, revenge is sweet!
Another outstanding performance from the hottest Hollywood icon, Johnny Depp. This Tim Burton film tells a story about a man who came back for revenge, only to find out that he has done enough damage to make him a demon.
Many people don't appreciate the story of this movie because it may seem weird. But hey, it's Tim Burton, alright! His movies may be weird but they were all spectacular.
Plus, the TIM BURTON film loved actor has created another legend in this musical. Indeed, Johnny Depp has his own charm to make Sweeney Todd someone hot yet evil!
I salute Tim Burton for actually collaborating with Johnny Depp in his past movies including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the latest animated film before the recent, Corpse Bride. He really made the right choice of letting Johnny Depp act the main roles of the said movies for they have become most realistic because of his magnificent acting skills.
No wonder, every single Johnny Depp film could really earn a lot, not only because he could act great but also because he could make such movies great without even showing a lot of effort on it.

Perya...Carnival...A place where everyone becomes a child. It was used in the Pinocchio movie to lure kids onto a trap by Stromboli. Wondered why? Because carnivals really attract a lot of people, children and adults alike.
There are what we call Amusement Parks which I believe is almost a hundred percent different from a carnival. An Amusement Park is more well-known, more modernized and I admit, safer.
Most carnivals I know were those called mobile carnivals where they transfer from one place to another, trying to earn as much money as they can.
And since Davao City is deprived of Amusement Parks such as the Enchanted Kingdom and Star City, we were really amazed when the carnival was risen beside NCCC Mall.
But as I've said, it was a whole lot different from an Amusement Park, but it was fun, especially the "pasugalan" center where you go and bet on a color you want and if the color was chosen, then you can win double or triple the money you bet.
There were also rides and i tried that "Roller Coaster" thing that they had which of course was a hundred percent scarier than real roller coasters. Why? Because of the fact that you'll get scared out of your wits hoping that the trail or your car will hold its position while you're running! haha!
But nonetheless, we got out of it, safe. we had the same thrill anyway, same butterflies in the stomach feeling as the coaster dropped down and yeah, almost the same satisfaction as from the real ride.
Me and my cousin Jane weren't able to enjoy the carnival much last night because oldies were with us, and they were like wanting to go home early already.
So hopefully tomorrow, I'll go back there with Jane still and Jannah. Ü

First time to work there and poof! SALARY'S DELAYED! Holy shit! I really can't believe they'll be doing this to me. I mean think about it. It isn't supposed to be a company salary. It's only a personal salary and yet they couldn't give it on time? What? On the 14th? Then would they make sure that they'll add 14 days worth in that delayed salary? Dammit! It was my first time to work there and then I'll get this treatment?
Ok so yeah. My friend and I are going to Club Z tomorrow to ask and ask and ask and probably fuck those guys out!!
I guess it was better to just go back studying. At least allowance don't come late!

That a former high school classmate and I would get together because of th same interest? And that is...KOREA!Yes, Anne Louise or most popularly known in high school as Lot-Lot and I have been communicating with each other again after we found out that we both have this craziness with Korean stuff!
Only...She was a lot better than me! Haha. But I'm learning though. So yeah. It was such a surprise that after around three years of not communicating much, we've actually been brought together by the word, KOREA. The thing I most love.
So we've been working together as English tutors this time and it was a really cool experience especially for me to get really familiar with the thing that most interests me.
So Lot-Lot and I have been getting along well together lately because of this so called craziness. I just can't believe that someone I knew would actually share the same interests with me as I've been journeying alone lately when it comes to Korean Enthusiasm.
Seeing the trailer of this movie before, I thought that this is gonna be just another of those Fantasy stories that would disappoint me, just like the Bridge to Terabithia.
But I was surprised at how good the story went. Well, not to mention Nicole Kidman's stunning beauty. This was some kind of a Fantasy story for it didn't actually hide the fact that magic or the supernatural exists. Instead, it showed an entirely different world where everyone knew about the existence of talking animals and supernatural beings such as witches.
The movie was really for kids but for adults as well for I actually tried my best to watch this on the little screen known as the portable DVD player, trying hard to listen to the conversations so I would be able to understand the story.
And through this, I was finally able to understand the real meaning of the Golden Compass. That is, to find the truth and to disapprove the heresy being brought upon the worlds by the Magesterium or commonly known as the government.
This may be a Fantasy movie but as I deeply understood the meaning of the story, I would say that somehow, it could also be rlated to the real world where truth was always hidden from innocent people by the government themselves who run these people.
There are certain persons who wanted to find the truth. Who wanted to go against the government's will and even through death, they will try to fight just in search for the truth. The truth that we knew exist yet believe that doesn't.

The following conversations happened January 22, 2007 at 5:30 pm. Gaisano Mall of Davao.
People Involved: Neym and Ex =[
I was walking along Gaisano Mall just for a stroll when I met with my ex. (The one who got his friend pregnant.)
We've been friends since after we broke up and that time, he was alone. Well don't get it wrong, he hasn't been separated with his wife; he was also from work that time.
We had this hi-hello greeting and he asked if he could treat me to dinner because it's been a long time since we haven't seen each other. So I said, we will just have a cup of coffee instead.
So yeah, we were talking about what happened to our lives and all, he said he already had 2 sons. I think it have been more than a year since we've seen each other so I was surprised that he actually was able to make a new one with her.
Then the conversation went into our past. On the days when we were together and when I found out that he got his friend pregnant.
(Conversations translated to English. Not the exact words but with the same thought.)
NEYM: Oh yeah, I almost killed you when you told me. I was like already starting to love you then you broke my heart.
EX: Well, I thought you'll never love me. I've heard a lot of rumors that there were more of us at once
NEYM: -laughs- Hey, even if I'm a bitch, I don't date guys at once. Give me some decency, please!
EX: That's what I thought considering the fact that you always go home with guys.
NEYM: AND GIRLS!!
EX: Yeah and you go drink and get drunk with them, and do nasty things together...
NEYM: Who told you that? I only do nasty things when I'm single. But I wasn't single that time, was I? I told you, even if I'm a bitch, I'm still a pretty decent person and I'm not a cheater!
EX: -nods- I know, I know you're not a cheater but you know the feeling that you don't actually value our love? The people who love you?
NEYM: Huh? What do you mean?
EX: You only want what's good for you. You don't even consider our feelings. You do things that make you happy and make us guys just like someone who follow you around and do your orders. You don't ask us what we want or even consult with us about what you want. I told you not to drink with guys anymore but you still do because that makes you happy but it put me in pain. You know what I mean?
NEYM: Selfish?
EX: -nods- Yes, Selfishness is what you've got. I'm not blaming you for everything, I guess it was just natural for you because ever since, you've always been getting everything you wanted. You've been spoiled; by your family, your friends and even your exes...
NEYM: -laughs- I didn't have an ex! You were that first one!
EX: Oh well let's say it was that way. So yeah, you also can't blame me if I did what I did in the past. To tell you the truth, I've also been hurt when we broke up, but I never regretted anything at all after my baby was born.
NEYM: So you're happy telling me this?
EX: I feel relieved because I know you're single now and it might help you in the future.
NEYM: -nods- Alright, thanks a lot. But you won't blame me if my heart will hurt, ok!
Yeah, after he said those words, my heart went hurting. I wanted to cry but it'll be too embarrassing to do so. So, I changed the subject and said goodbye to each other as I drank my last drop of coffee.
Really, what he said made me realize a lot of things. It may also be the reason why the man I loved left me for someone else. Because even though I thought I gave him everything, I know I still hasn't. Instead, I got everything that I WANTED, without knowing that he was in pain with it.
Then yeah, what my ex told me will help me in the future, I know. I know it wasn't something he said just to hurt me. I just know it.

This is a short message I wrote for the guy who once broke my heart. Written merely two years ago, I guess. Just read down. =]
I've been hurt just once in my life but the pain remained forever. My heart has been wounded by someone i didn't expect to hurt me. Even if time will heal my wounds, the scar will still be there reminding me of the most painful instance in my life.
Maybe I was holding back because i didn't want to disappoint someone. Maybe I felt hesitant because I thought the truth would hurt. Whatever the reason, now is the time to make a decision.
I need to move forward, and never look back. This might make me whole again. Although he already broke me into pieces, I will never let him hold me back and he will never be able to meet me with pain in my heart.
I should be strong, i should go on with life. I should accept the reality and just be happy for what I've got. I got him before but someone got him now and I shouldn't be feeling alone because of that.
Finally, I'm willing to let go...but I guess it's hard to do...damn, I hate LOVE!...
Ok, well, I just saw that written on my Hi5 account which I haven't opened for years. So yeah, just want to repost it. Want everyone to know how crazy I get when I'm depressed. hahahaha!!!! =P

hmmmm ok, how should i start it off? maybe start with how i saw the movie? hahaha...
i've seen this movie three times and believe it or not, in three different days with three different types of people.
last saturday, i watched this movie with my friend and my korean student's family. we watched it at SM. so it was my first time to see it actually.
then the next day, i watched it again with my family since it was my sister's birthday and she badly wanted to watch the movie on the big screen.
and when was the third time that i've seen it? just last tuesday with my two close friends dhawell and akeem. actually, dhawell just texted me in the morning and told me to meet him and akeem because yada yada, he said he missed me. haha!! yeah right!!
so yeah, after my session, i went home and rested for a few minutes then i met him and akeem at NCCC Mall Cinema 2 at around 7:30 pm. the movie? NATIONAL TREASURE! hahaha!!!
yeah right, i've been so full of this movie that i told myself i'm gonna die now if someone would ask me to watch it again! hahaha!!!
ok so back to the review. as usual, since it's a disney movie and it's a nicholas cage movie, i would really say that it was awesome although i admit that the first movie was more adventurous and funny.
riley poole who's been the most popular character in the first movie just became more of a best friend in the second. he became like an assistant this time. he didn't do much even though he's got all the brains that no one can tackle.
then i have a feeling that this movie was shorter than the first one or maybe because there were only a few clues that have lead them to the treasures. but nonetheless, it's still wonderful.
they really made the united states' most preserved tourist spots one of the most crucial clues in finding the treasure; the statue of liberty, the white house, mt. rushmore. but yeah, only a few has been exposed though compared to the first movie.
well i have no other comments. haha. i guess they shouldn't try making a 3rd sequel anymore or it'll be too over acting! haha!
i love riley to death, btw!! =]

VENUE: Lake Agco, Kidapawan City
MODELS: Marcherry and Akeem
PHOTOGRAPH BY: amateur Dhawell
Why am I so proud of this picture? hahaha!! Wala lang, because of the fact that Dhawell took it! Haha! I got this picture from Akeem and I also saw this on Marcherry's photo album.
Well I don't even know why I'm blogging about this probably because it's my first time to see something about Dhawell? haha...I don't know but when I saw this picture, I was like, OMG, did he actually do this?
Well it wasn't really professional-like but I admit it is really something good, probably because of the lake's smoky and the backgrounds dark effect.
Well of course, Akeem and Marcherry made good models, too! Parang I so wanted to submit it on Candymag. Hmmm, will you guys agree? Pretty please! Haha.
Pakialamerang Neym. But honestly guys, this is really something worth praising! I love it, really and Akeem and Dhawell knew that I wasn't the type who easily appreciates something, right?
So you guys know how much this picture moved me. hehehe. =] Ciao! Hope to go with you in these places soon! =]
P.S. closer version of the masterpiece: click here
Akeem, Dhawell and Marcherry.

So you guys know how much this picture moved me. hehehe. =] Ciao! Hope to go with you in these places soon! =]
P.S. closer version of the masterpiece: click here
Akeem, Dhawell and Marcherry.
After a million years of not talking to each other, the Queen and her ex-servant has once again encountered a few weeks ago.
While the Queen was browsing through her Friendster account, the primary picture of the ex-servant has caught her attention. Curious, the Queen viewed his account and was surprised at what she saw. The primary photo was the ex-servant's cute chibi drawing with the title QUEEN-RUTO written on the side of the drawing. The Queen was of course surprised because that was the Queen's nickname: HIDDEN FOR PRIVACY.
So what did the Queen do? She PM'd the ex-servant telling him these exact words:
tangina, what was with the primary picture? tanggala daw nang QUEEN-RUTO diha, basig ma issue na pud ta, mag freak out na pud si ruth este si gf...hahaha!! =P
(fcuk, what was with the primary picture? remove that QUEEN-RUTO there before an issue about us will come out again and ruth will freak out. i mean, gf...hahaha!! =P)
RUTH - well if you know PATAYIN SA SINDAK SI BARBARA, you'll know who RUTH is. =P
So it has been a couple of days since the Queen has sent the PM. The ex-servant hasn't logged in yet and when he did, he didn't reply to the Queen's PM but he removed the QUEEN-RUTO thing in the drawing on his primary photo. That relieved the Queen anyway. =]
And then Christmas came and the Queen was surprised to receive something via LBC. Yes, the ex-servant has given the Queen a boquet of flowers. Red roses, to be exact. So the Queen wasn't able to contain how she felt because she wasn't pleased at all.
She texted the ex servant with these exact words:
hala, nakadaog ka sa contest sa flower shop noh and wala ka'y laing mahatagan sa imung nadaugan?
(hey, you won a contest on a flower shop, right and you have no other person to give your price into?)
then he replied after about a decade:
aw, routine na man naku mag hatag ug flowers and gifts sa imuha. hehe. sorry gud
(aw, it's already my routine to give you flowers and presents, sorry)
ROUTINE? what is it, a daily activity or something? ok ka lang? we weren't supposed to talk anymore, right? diba dili naku gusto mag-communicate ta para mahilom na nang si ruth?
(ROUTINE? what is it, a daily activity or something? are you ok? we weren't supposed to talk anymore, right? i didn't want to communicate with you again so that ruth will hsut up)
haha..ruth! haha..QUEEN uy, accept na lang gud na, sa new year, naa gihapon kay madawat, promise.
(haha..ruth! haha..QUEEN, just accept it, you'll receive another one in the new year, promise)
Ok, so the Queen didn't reply anymore because she was afraid that she might be able to say something bad again. The ex-servant laughed at the RUTH thing. haha. But The Queen isn't Barbara. They were supposed to be total opposites.
Anyway, she thought that the ex-servant was only kidding when he said she's gonna recieve another present on New Year. But she was once again surprised when she received another package which contained a bag. A Marks and Spencer bag which was bought in London.
The Queen sent another text message to the ex-servant:
nagpapalit pa jud sa iyang mommy. basig para jud ni kay ruth ha, dili sa ako. hala, i should return this!
(you even asked your mom to buy. maybe this is really for ruth and not for me. i should return this!)
But the ex-servant didn't reply and the Queen found his reply on the ex-servant's shoutout which said: NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PUSH ME AWAY, I'LL STILL BE YOUR AISHITERU FOREVER.
So the Queen wasn't able to talk anymore. Because the Queen and the ex-servant used to say I LOVE YOU to each other in Japanese. So no doubt, that message was for the Queen.
And the Queen was silenced. Deep within her heart, she still loves the ex-servant. And she knows that she still has a special place in the ex-servant's heart but as long as RUTH is still around, then the Queen will never bother talking to the ex-servant still.
What does the Queen hope anyway? Well she hoped that she can find someone worthy to replace the ex-servant in her heart so she wouldn't hurt again. =]
NOTE: Queen, ex-servant and Ruth were actually used to replace real names. Those who knew them, please refrain from writing their names on the comments. For privacy purposes because the Queen's life has been too exposed already. =]

ANIME
The anime only showed the supposed to be first half of Yazawa Ai's manga. It has ended on this kind of cliffy that everyone will hate hence, they will tend to read the continuation in the manga. Well honestly, that was what I did.
It was only recommended to me by my friend Madel and as I watched the anime, I thought that the last episode would actually be the ending. But then when I've seen the ending, I was like, "Ok, I badly need to read the manga now!"
I was amazed at how well this story protrayed the realities not only in Japan and not only in young people's lives but in the whole world and old people's lives as well. This wasn't the typical love-friendship story that we usually see but rather, this story showed the bitterness of life and the consequences of success and bad decisions.
No matter how bad people review about this series, I couldn't care less because being an adult, I could actually empathize with each characters in the story, not only with Komatsu Nana and Osaki Nana. Each character has their own unique stories in life. They have their own wrong decisions, they have their own source of happiness and their own reasons to love.
It didn't only show love between a man and a woman but a deep and affectionate love between friends as well and how much one has to sacrifice for the other.

MANGA
Well the first parts of the manga were very much the same as with the anime but since the anime has ended halfway in the manga's story, you really have to read the manga by then. The manga hasn't finished yet as well, probably the reason why the Anime story was cut off.
So as the two Nanas' stories continued, judgment will arise and hatred will start. Now, you wouldn't be able to determine anymore if one's feeling are true or it's just because they're lonely. But the only true feelings that I've felt were Nana's feeling toward Hachiko. That even if she'll lose everything, she would still live as long at Hachi's by her side.

MOVIE
In all the Live Action movies that I've ever seen, Nana was the only one which has been most faithful to the manga. No scenes were modified although the side stories (those that do not pertain to the 2 Nanas' stories) were omitted, most of the special parts were shown. Plus, at the end of the second movie, it was modified to have a happy ending so as not to put some questionable cliffy's because who knows if they will still make the second season of the NANA anime?
Yoon Eun Hye - Go Eun ChanGong Yoo - Choi Han Kyul
Lee Sun Gyun - Choi Han Sung
Chae Jung Ahn - Han Yoo Joo
Oh my God, after 48 years! I was finally able to finish this series! haha!! Well I've started watching this at around late July, I think when it was still shown in Korea. But because I got a little busy with my personal life, I stalled it for a bit together with Queen of the Game.
So I only got the chance to continue on Episode 8 at around the second week of December and thank God I was able to finish it a couple of days ago, including the special.
So this series is currently being aired on GMA-7. For heaven's sake, why did they get the rights anyway when I wanted to to be ABS-CBN? LOL!!!
Alright, enough of the rantings and let's go to the reviews. Well I've heard that this series was based on a novel although I didn't know the author and I haven't read it because of couse, it'll be Korean.
Let's go to the plot, first. What I like about the plot of this series is that it is very unique. Although it has the typical rich-arrogant boy and poor-pathetic girl character it is unique in terms of these characters personalities especially Go Eun Chan, our hero/heroine in the story. Because she isn't a typical girl in the series but rather, she is mistaken to be a man by our hero, Choi Han Kyul.
This series also didn't only focus on the love story of our two main characters but it also focused on the stories of the people around them especially the supporting characters Choi Han Sung and Han Yoo Joo. So this 17-episode series wouldn't bore you by showing only Han Kyul and Eun Chan's faces.
The Princes who work on the Coffee Shop; Manager Hong, Jin Ha Rim, Hwang Mim Yeop and No Sun Ki also have their own life's sturggles as they dealt with the stubborness of their boss Han Kyul and the feminine side of their co-prince Eun Chan.
I was really amazed at how well this series has gotten all the hottest guys in Korea to star in one drama. As you watch this series, you won't only drool over our hot manager Choi Han Kyul but also to the princess and even his cousin Han Sung.
And what I most liked about this series was that it didn't have this very dramatic family conflict about not having Eun Chan as the in-law of the family because she is poor. Well I admit at first, it has those sterotypes but it didn't worsen like what we usually see in most series.
So yeah, for those who wanted to experience somethiong different with the same fun and love, try to watch The First Shop of Coffee Prince!

And oh, 2008 is also a Leap Year, right? Lucky are those who were born on the 29th of February!
So Happy New Year, everyone! I only have a few and simple New Year's Resolution for this year. That is, to find a good job where I can settle in for the year and also to save enough money for Gwen and I to go to Korea by the year 2009.
Quite a goal, huh? Haha! Well yeah, I actually thought that I wouldn't be able to live up on my dream of going to Korea because I actually thought that I would be alone if I'll go there. But then, I was enlightened when Gwen texted me and told me that she also wanted to go to Korea badly. As in badly! For I never expecte that she would be so ecstatic about it that she always talks to me about it.
Crazy, eh? Well yeah, I was so happy that finally, I was able to find someone who will be actually willing to go with me to the promised land and because of this goal, I'm sure I'll be more determined to find a good job for me to settle in.
I have a few Job goals for this year. Costumer Management on Call Centers, Medical Transcriptionist, entertainment Transcriptionist, Hotel Front Desk and English Tutor. Well, I had those target jobs based on my skills and abilities.
Since I am so confident that I'm actually good in English speaking, Those jobs would be suitable for me. Well except for the fact that my Profession is actually a Nurse. haha!
So yeah, I just hope this year, I would be more productive than the year 2007 and with my goals, I will work hard.
Not to mention, I wanna go to Manila to see the Witchies! =]

It'a been a couple of days since Christmas and I only got the time to write a blog about it. hehehe.
So yeah, Have I really been good this year? I really can't say yes because in this year, a lot of things has happened to me and I did a lot of awful things, too. But despite that, I've been pretty happy probably because of friends and family who were always there for me.
So I've been totally broke a few days before Christmas. Jeez, salaries didn't work much. I spent most of it on my new cellphone and so, I wasn't able to save more for presents. I wasn't able to buy much presents for my family and my friends, too. But I promised them that I'm gonna buy them one although it'll be later than New Year. haha. They'll understand, anyway.
So yeah. We had a simple celebration last Christmas eve. It didn't feel like Christmas though because as usual, our village remained silent despite the ticking of the clock to 12 midnight. Why's that? Well, we all know that Firecrackers and the likes are banned in Davao City. It's fine though. I'm not much a fan of fireworks anyway. hehe.
So yeah, we had some nice stuff with the poor that's why we only had a few bunch for our Noche Buena because we gave food for homeless people sleeping on an open park in our Downtown. We'll be doing the same on New Year's eve.
It was fun, though. We went to the newly opened People's Park on Christmas and had fun there and then we went to this antique shoppe which has caught people's attention for being the brightest this Christmas.
Somehow, although it was a plainly simple celebration, I had so much fun probably because we were able to do things that we don't usually do.
So yeah, I guess I have been good this year.

so sinamahan ko sis ko sa palengke last friday because she said she wanted to buy veggies there instead of in the supermarket. i haven't been on a public market for a long time so i decided to go with her and as i stepped on the ill-smelling place, i've realized na parang sobrang arte ko yata lately.
i mean, when my sis and i went out of the car, i immediately inhaled the foul smell that only can be smelled on a public market. i covered my nose with my hanky and i've noticed that i was frowning to myself as we were walking along the "aisle", my sister looking for some nice veggies to buy.
so habang busy si sister sa pagpili, i was busy looking around naman, hoping to find something interesting like rats or cockroaches or the likes. hahaha. interesting? ironic, right? it was really weird, i'm not saying that i'm really maarte or what pero i've just realized how sensitive i get when i go to places that i wasn't used to go.
so after a while, my sister asked me to go to the parking lot with my bro and wait for her there. the parking lot was by the back of the "veggie department". while my bro and i were waiting for my sis to come back, i saw some guys cleaning up carrots on a huge basin. what surprised me was that these guys actually stepped over the carrots just like they were crushing grapes to make into wine. my goodness! so that's how they clean carrots, eh? and worse, one guy wtill has his slippers on and who knows where he came from? where he stepped those damn slippers?
then my bro jokingly told me, "neym, yung americans, diba kinakain nila ng hilaw yung carrots?" and i was like, "ewwwwwww" hahaha!! oh well, i know i was overacting but to eat something that someone stepped on? wouldn't that be too degrading?
oh well, i guess i've just lived a lot through modernity where we used to shop on shopping malls and supermarkets. where we couldn't see dirty stuff and ill-battered rodents and where we can be sure that veggies are cleaned in an acceptable way.
on the lighter and off-topic note, i got a new cellphone! Sony Ericsson Z610i!

we could start with the anime first. erwin, my friend recommended this anime to me, telling me that it was really good and sweet. so being an anime addict, i also tried to watch the series. erwin and i were chatting on YM while i was watching it. he told me to watch the first two episodes for a while and tell him what i think.
well, what do you say, i ended up watching all 11 episodes in just 5 hours! hahaha! oh well, more than, i guess because i stopped for a while to eat dinner. but yeah, i was totally drawn to the story especially because i can relate to it. awww...
it's just a simple funny and hilarious love story between a girl who is unusually tall and a guy who is unusually short who aren't even on the verge of being very nice to each other. both of them always fight that they were even dubbed as "All Hanshin Kyojin" the japanese comedy duo.
but we all know that despite the hatred to each other, people who seemed to get closer really will fall in love. what touched me most in this story was that Otani Atsushi does a lot of sweet things to Koizumi Risa that she actually fell in love with him. i kinda hate that part though as it stereotyped the women being always weak and usually the first ones to fall in love. well, maybe i felt this way because in my case, i was also the first one to fall in love before. haha...
well anyway, the most amazing thing in this story was when the two main characters remained friends and how risa was determined to make otani love her despite being rejected twice and in the end, she didn't fail because just right on her birthday, under the starry sky and the fireworks, otani declared his love for risa as he kissed her passionately.
awwww, this series really made me scream, cry and laugh as i watched all 24 episodes. there was never a dull episode here and it was a really awesome story that it made me think how intelligent japanese people are for actually making this kind of love story. and even if it's just an anime, it really can touch everyone's hearts.
well of course, the concept of the movie still hasnt' changed but what was amazing with the movie were the actors Fujisawa Ema (Risa) and Koike Teppei (Otani). i actually thought that this would be dull because it's live action and it's kinda hard to copy the facial expressions made in the anime but i was wrong. the actors definitely portrayed the animated characters so well that i also loved this movie so much.plus, there's a bonus! we all know that WaT member koike teppei played the main guy part here. he definitely gave otani's character a blast that i can't help falling in love with him over and over again. he's really a hottie and he's so much into his character that i can definitely see the cartoon otani in him.
so yeah, i guess you guys should definitely watch this! it may sound absurd, knowing that it's an anime, but it's totally different. it's something that'll really be kept in your mind, for all of your life as you try to understand how it really feels to fall in love at the very odd time. =]
definitely 5 stars

awwww, i knew i won't be able to sleep well this time thinking about it but i also knew that i would definitely get it because i want it too bad!! hahaha!!
btw, i got a new photoshop CS3. it's kinda weird though. i want imageready! huhu..
oh well, i received 37 contact requests in multiply today. made my heart skip. hahaha!!
