Dream Catchers

I have a thing for dream catcher, I dont' why. Must be the colors, must be the fascinating design.

They say that the traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.

Took some photos of it when I was in Baguio:

This is the traditional one. It has been a part of Native American culture for generations.

This one has bright colors (which I loove) but a lot of people still prefer to buy the traditional one.

dream catcher cellphone chain.

dream catcher necklaces!

I bought one! but like the others, I still prefer the traditional kind.Got this for only P20 :)

Dream Catcher Lore:

Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.
Using a hoop of willow, and decorating it with findings, bits and pieces of everyday life, (feathers, arrow heads, beads, etc.


I bought one for my bed too. Silly, but I've been dreaming of weird things since I was eight.
I dreamt of me, being chased by group of brown monkeys but when I get to the cliff of the mountain, they will stop, fall in line like a choir and they sing unfamiliar songs in front of me.
I also dreamt of that I was in a sinking ship with my sister, dreamt of jumpimg over houses, dreamt of getting married, dreamt of getting stabbed at the back by unknown person, dreamt that  a new born baby died and dreamt that my father died in a very ackward kind.

I can't imagine how many  worse and absurd dreams I had! sigh! :(


Annd I don't know why.

Movie review: World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles

I'm not really into Alien-meet-human kind of movie. E.T. (The Extra Terrestrial,1982) was the last alien movie I saw and it's only because Drew Barrymore was there.
But out of boredom and insomniac last night, with instant pancit canton and a liter of Mountain dew,in a lazy couch,I joined my sister watching the World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles.

The story line:
Los Angeles and other cities around the world are being bombarded by meteors that seem to be slowing down once they hit the earth's atmosphere. The earth is suddenly being invaded by space aliens that have landed off the shore of LA, and who begin killing everybody along the beach. The military is ordered into action. Marine Staff Sergeant Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), who was about to retire, is reassigned to a new platoon. The platoon, flown by chopper to the forward operating base at Santa Monica Airport, is being led by a new 2nd Lt. Martinez (Ramon Rodriguez). They are sent on a mission to rescue some civilians who are trapped at the police station within alien territory. They only have 3 hours to complete their mission and get out before the Air Force bombs that zone.


Since I'm a spoiler:


I wonder, since aliens are after the water because they're using it for fuel.Why invade the cities at all? If they are after the water, they can just suck all the water off the oceans. They can just invade Hawaii or one of the oceans and not touch the cities at all.


In the tunnel scene, the team enters at night, but coming out of the tunnel it is full daylight outside.


These intelligent aliens have advanced laser weapons, but they can hardly hit their target, (marines in this platoon),whereas  marines were killing them left and right. 


The base of all Aliens, that is soo unbelievably huge got killed by one shot. cool.


☺☺☺☺☺☺ out  of 10.
Rated PG-13 for sustained and intense sequences of war violence and destruction, and for language.


Okay so, war movies is not a war movie without Michelle Rodriguez.

I guess that's one main reason why I decided to finish the movie trough out.
After all the side comments, it's still worth watching on a dateless night. 

C to Bee

Admit it, every time we dine out, be a five star or a food chain, we all wanted to be treated right. We all wanted our foods to be served right, because that's how we want it to be specially if you are from the 19th floor, went down to ground floor, even if you are really god damn hungry! because you are just craving for that food.


The drama was like, we fell on a really long line and ordered for a pork chaofan, churizo chaofan, asiado siopao and Wanton noodles,coke and Iced tea for drinks. We handed the money to the cashier when she told us the total bill.


" Wala po ba kayong smaller bill?" the cashier asked us with her most annoying and irritating voice.


We simply said " wala." anyway, hindi lang naman Kangkong ang inorder namin para mahirapan siya maghanap ng barya! annd for heaven's sake it was just P500.00!


And then she began punching out our order like a mad guy with matching nakanguso. 


My officemate then remembered that she wants her iced tea less ice, but she just ignored it and pretended like she didn't hear it. FINE. bitch! lol


Soo shortly after we were seated in the corner of the place, there came our ordered drinks and with my officemate's icedtea full of, guess what? ICE. 
And then our ordered food came almost 30 fucking minutes,without straw for our drinks, spoon and fork,tissues and condiments. as in WALA for everything.


So I waved my hand and asked their crew if they can kindly give us some spoon and fork but He just said, "Kuha na lang po kayo dito ma'am." He was pointing the condiments area that was just right beside him.We were at the very corner. WTF?

I was starting to get piss  so I called another crew to ask for condiments for the 2nd time, that gay said yes but we waited for 5 minutes and that green creature never came back. Luckily, the store manager was at the next table, she was kind enough to bring us what we need.


We were almost done with our foods when the gay crew passed by, we told him of the condiments that we asked him to bring us earlier, but in his most highest and sarcastic tone, he said " Sorry Ma'am! I forgot!" then left us, just like that.


I swear, that time I was thinking of the other food chain that was just beside where we ate.Their crew  never failed to  assists us right before and after we leave the counter,kahit na 39ers lang 'yung in-order namin.

Movie review: Forrest Gump

I've loved Tom Hanks in a 2000 drama film, Cast Away. I've admired him ever since.

And whenever I have time, I stay at home and watch his movies and my most favorite? 

Forrest Gump.

Tom Hanks' portrayal of Forrest Gump in the film Forrest Gump.

" Momma always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.  She said: Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get."

The 3 Idiots made me smile, but Forrest Gump made me cry and realized that there's more to life than bitterness and hatred, that life should be appreciated no matter how hard and cruel it is.

He have survived everything even he has been described as being an autistic savant.

So if he did, a normal being can survive neither and do better. Way better.

I have my own kind of dealing with everything in life. .

But I just wish I was like him, luck has always been with him.

And when it comes to being lucky, mayn.. I'm cursed.

My review:  Much awesome than my favorite pancit canton and hard-boiled egg! :)

And yes guys I'm starving.. I just posted this because I can't get this movie out of my freakin' mind! hehe.. 

LMS: Last Movie Syndrome.

 

Movie review: The 3 idiots

A lot of people don't know that I never finished college.They never ask anyway or I guess they never mind. All they know is that I came from a school where archers bleed green, and whenever I say that I was from that school they usually never bother to ask if I have finished college, they just smile at me and say "nice" so I never had a chance to say that I actually haven't yet.(Relevance? Lemme tell later)

So. . a minute ago I was blog hopping at blogs ng pinoy  and was able to saw this blog where she posted something about a movie which happened to be one of my favorite. . So I told my self, I have been inspired by this movie but I actually realized that I haven't posted anything yet 'about it.
So here it.. my post version of  The 3 Idiots.

Rancho (Aamir Khan) vanished after graduating college which left his friends Harman Joshi -( Raju Rastogi) and Adhavan - (Farhan Qureshi) wondering. Where did he go and why did he left? I'm not going to tell you guys (lol) because it will only lead you to more excitement. hehe better watch that movie and have your own review about it.My review? It would have been perfect minus the dancing-singing like a Glee thing! because that makes the movie lasts for almost 3 hours literally! hehe but honestly, when it comes to it's full story, I know you will probably get inspired just as much as I did.


I like the way how the movie try to say that It ain't the diploma, the school uniform or the honors that you get that makes you a better person now or in the near  future,well yes apparently, it would have been better if you have gone to school because your diploma is like your twin identity  but still,  It ain't should be a measure of dignity (chos) and morality.We go to school to learn, not to boast the uniform you're wearing. We go to school for one purpose and it shouldn't be to put other's down just because they haven't been where you have been.

 I know a lot of you have been familiar with the misleading answer to a simple question ..like,

"Where you from?"

" Ateneo."

Dude, we're askin' where you from not where school you are from because it's actually obvious from your tote bag and shirt that you're wearing. :|

and yes, it happens.. a lot.

 ****
 Famous line: Most of us went to college just for a degree. No degree meant no plum job, no pretty wife, no credit card, no social status. But none of this mattered to him, he was in college for the joy of learning, he never cared if he was first or last. --

Some are for me to say and some are for you to watch. :)

Like,my own font

 I have been  told that the penmanship tells a lot about you. You think so? Well, I guess so. hehe up to you to judge but to tell you honestly, it took me 3 days (lol) to decide if I'm gonna post it here because compare to some of you who have been tagged and post their handwriting,mine is far from awesome.

I don't know exactly what I want it to look like.I just want it to be like my own font and I just don't want it to look  like I have never gone to school.hehe anyway here it is.

I’ve been practicing my penmanship. It is slowly getting better I guess, but I have a long way to go.
But lemme tell you guys that nobody's perfect and I think that explains why I think I'm a lot better in doodling because I suck foreal in writing! lol
And oh, I'm not going to tag anyone anymore! *peace!

Code Red

Yes I was idle for  a day. One reason why I ended up just sleeping the whole day is because I had my monthly period.. and believe me whenever this time comes, I feel like  a total bum.I don't even feel like talking. I don't know why! must be the hormones. (whatever)
So I slept at around 11:00 PM and woke up at 11:00 AM and FYI that was 12 hours mind you! Hehe.
And when I woke up I found this cashew nuts under my pillow, I almost forgot that I was eating them last night. lol and I don't even know why the hell it was under my pillow like I was scared somebody might steal it.

cashew nuts from Coron Palawan! The bomb!

Anndd.. The other day I bought this cute-beachy-nail polish by Wish that comes in 3 colors (with free toe separator) because I was planning to go to salon to have a mani-pedi and hot oil.

look at that funny toe separator!

but since I was soo damn tired  to get my self off to bed I canceled my appointment :(

annd oh! I had a make over! nah.. not a plastic surgery or anything under the magical power of a knife.

Because If I can afford it, matagal ko ng ipinagawa ang ilong ko.. LMAO!!

Hey look! spot the difference!

Movin' On

2011 has been tough.
I thought 'bout that  when I was waiting for my pizza at Sicilians located at the ground floor in our office.
I was on my way home from a night shift when I decided to buy a 10 inch for breakfast.
I thought that I have to take a heavy breakfast since I will need to have more energy to pack all my things up, more courage and not to cry  ( I am cry baby much ) when I leave the place.

Pepperoni and Italian Sausage Premium Pizza

almost empty :(

Annnd, I started packing right away when I arrived so I can still take a nap after.

My shoes and back packs.

I'm gonna miss my huge dresser for sure :(

And this flower painting hanging on my bedroom's wall.

My favorite spot: The little kitchen. Sorry It's kinda messy since I'm moving out.

This is where I usually spend my time when I have no work because I love to cook And again, sorry it's a mess! lol Anyway,left corner will lead to the bathroom.

And this is the couple's seat and my bunny speaker.

I will surely miss everything! It has been my home for the last two years. I wish we hadn't had to have gone through this kind of situation because I have learned to love the place, but.. oh well.. we all have to move on. Life must go on. :)

Anyway, Here's a music video from Inoj: MOVIN' ON. (naka-relate lang)

This one's for her.

Further to my previous post, I promised that I'm gonna post some of my sister's company outing photos wearing the swimsuits that I'm talkin' about and that took us forever to fit and buy.

Scroll down and.. up to you to judge. hehe..

This is her and If I'm not mistaken, the one piece swimsuit is from Billabong, She's a big fan of Mayor Atienza that's why we chose the Hibiscus  instead of any flower design available around.

Of course, her again, wearing the Neon Orange printed with Hibiscus ,also from Billabong.

Her and her groom-to-be :)

I love this bright yellow summer dress! Looks good on her what'cha think? :) 

Wonder why I'm bloggin' 'bout her instead 'bout  me like the usual? Well, let's just say that my sister is like an extension of my self. Without her, I could have died a long time ago struggling with life.

How many times have I told her that I found the right one but I ended up saying, "no.. I don't think He's the one for me." A lot of times. A lot of times I have been blinded but were able to see clearly because she was there.She just laughed at me, and told me, that for me to be able to give love sincerely I must love my self first, above anything and above anyone.

I was also told by her that it's okay to cry for 3 consecutive days after the break up, but I must learn how to forgive and move on on the 4th day,because doing it for the whole week is a total stupidity, wasting life for someone who doesn't even care that you shed tears for them, fighting for someone who's not even worth it.. It should be just for 3 days. lol

I am now on my 2nd day :( I still cry every time I'd think about how I was being treated unfairly. I messed up again.,but then again .. she just laughed at me and said:

" Ar-Ar naman lumindol na sa Japan! magka-ka-TSUNAMI na raw and yet there you are! crying for someone .. who's.. who's not even gwapo!!"

"Kung ayaw niya sa'yo then fine! pack your things and stop crying at umuwi ka dito sa akin!"

LOL..

Oh Life.. She must have been lucky for everything. Good school, good job, nice place and a loving husband-to-be, plus she's my Mom and Dad's favorite.

Me? I always mess up the good things I have in my life.. but lucky for one thing- and that's having her- as a sister. :)

I know she might not be able to read this but at least, all of you who's following and reading my blog knows that this one's for her.

Way back 2003.. I was 17 years old and she was 20.
