Valentine's day passed with me having no one to hold and spend it with, come to think of, it has always been like that for the past few years now... me being single.

And since I would look like a total loser to go out alone that day, when almost everyone around you is spending the day in two's... I decided to just stay home and meet with some friends come very late evening.

Sunday came and although my sisters are home, they are sleeping since they came from a shift the night before and will still be having one sunday night. I asked some friends if they would want to see a movie. Fortunate enough that I have one friend who is available and would want to give me company.

After deciding that we are to meet at 6PM, I busied myself with old DVDs at home and watched HSM 2. I decided to hit the shower after the movie and started preparing myself. I fetched Shun and head to the nearest mall. We decided to watch Marley and Me.

I have heard from friends that it was a good movie about the "Man's Bestfriend".

It was a feel good movie, having to feel a little sad if I may just say the day before, it was a welcome changed that I was actually laughing while watching the movie. It was such a feel good movie that I wanted to adopt or even buy a dog for myself after. Our dog, which is a doberman, died last month and probably the reason why the movie moved me into almost tears as the movie progressed. Having said that, I had the strongest urged to buy a new dog.

I still remember that day when we learned that our beloved doberman died, my mom cried. Although I wasn't able to spend as much time with our dog since she's in the province, I felt sad about the news, afterall I always try to play with her when I'm in Nueva Ecija.

Marley and Me, was in more ways than one, a funy and a toucing story. It has that warmth and wouldn't keep you from really laughing even if you are in a movie house. I believed what Owen Wilson said in one of the scenes... I can't remember exactly what he said but it was something like "when you give your heart to a dog, it will give his heart to you in exchange"

If I will still be spending my valentines day alone next year, I just hope I'd just be spending it with my very own Marley.

I have always been a fan of movies, and I have had my share of watching them. I know there are a lot of people who have seen more than I do, there's no doubt about that, but I can still say that I have my fair share.

For me, watching movies makes me relax, it's one way for me to escape the world that I know, the world that I have lived in. I have had encouragements from friends to watch certain films because it was great and most of it are actually great films. But there are also a number of films that, I don't know if I was just expecting too much but, sad to say failed me.

I have recently watched the much talked about "Bangkok Love Story", and to say that I loved it, would be an understatement. Surprisingly, for me it lived up to my expectation,s if not exceeded. For a gay indie film, it was excellent.


Two things that made me really really love this film are it's cinematography and acting.

The cinematography was simply amazing. Very strong angles, right execution of panning, perfect lighting. It was a work of art, well at least for me. The actors were brilliant that they can actually act!

Of course the direction was great, set design was artistically made and the story was surreal but engaging and would keep you wanting for more!

I was so in love with the film that it haunted me...

I can't help but wonder, is it really possible to wait with uncertainties for something that you really wanted even if takes you forever? In a world that works with assurance and surrounded by certainties, can LOVE really survive the uncertain?

I have watched Wall-E last week and for me to say that the film is good is an understatement.

The film is a testament to the old and cliche saying that "action speaks louder than words". It was amazing that a mere sound of collective beeps and simple sounds can convey a thousand words. I knew that the movie was good but I never expected that it was that good! The movie conveyed the idea that love is something to be showed and not just something that can be expressed thru words.

Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) is the last of the robots who are tasked to clean-up Earth. Interesting as it may seem, the robot developed a personality, and an inquisitive personality that is, which makes it more interesting lest complicated. to top that he is lonely! until one day the people in space sent a robot on Earth to check if life can be sustained again, ergo EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator).

Instantaneously Wall-E developed an affection to EVE. Talking to EVE with gestures and beeps and simple sounds that made the movie so adorable. It gave me that certain feeling of wanting to be wanted, of needing to be needed.

It was indeed a good movie to watch... a movie worth your time.

I always say, "Love comes to those who believe it"... and if I may just add, "It comes in your most unexpected time/way".

I have been single for quite sometime, my friends often ask if I'm seeing anyone or if I'm happy, I told them I am single, and happy because I am with good and caring friends and for now it's more than enough. It was, not until that simple message of "Hello".

I came home from work one night, and found an online message in one of my networking sites in the world wide web. An exchange of online messages happened next. An exchange of YM Id's and the rest became history.

When I opened that online site that night I wasn't looking for "love" and I wasn't expecting to find a special someone. Things just happened, and could it be any better than this? I wouldn't think so, everything just fell in thier proper places.

love really does come to those who believe it and it sometimes do in your most unexpected time and way...

Breaking up with someone will never be easy...

but breaking up can also mean new life, new challenges and new future...

we may have closed one window but we can definitely leave the door wide open

I am melancholic for a wasted 2nd chance but I'm optimistic for a bright future ahead...

someday we will find our place in this urban jungle and we need to be contented with the repercussions of our own decisions

it may have been a roller coaster ride for me but for now let me just say thank you for the experience...

as i bid my goodbye... i will face the world head on because i know i have loved honestly and it's just not for me to keep...

love comes to those who believes it..

i know somewhere out there, there is someone waiting for the same exact thing that I can offer..

and until that time I know life will be good to me

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.
