The Notebook!!!


Happy Endings???? Maybe,,,,,
I've heard much about "the notebook" and since I considered it as an "oldies" I didn't have that much interest about it. I don't like oldies that much, although there are some exceptions, depends on the story. haha...
During the first scenes, I was captivated by the scenery. A scene from "a lake house" as the sun sets over the horizon, In short nice ang view. I wanted to paint the scenery, lol... seriously I'm not just imitating the heroine in the movie, I like paintings!!! though, If I paint it... Poor Image, ruined by my underdeveloped skills, tsk3. haha....
At the middle of the movie, I got the overview of the whole story already. C'mon, we couldn't deny the fact that the ending was very predictable. I did sense that the old man was narrating HIS/ THEIR story to the old woman, so perhaps a Happy ending indeed! but then again, the story still continued, so that leaves the ending with the hero / heroine dying. lol... The story was very good indeed but very predictable. Furthermore, I've seen movies that have almost exactly the same story, or yet the same plot. However, even though the ending was very predictable, the director has his own way of directing the film. I can't described the feeling while watching the film, there's essence in every action, in every scenes there's thrill, especially near the ending. Basta! Lahi ra jud! I'd say that this film was even better compared to twilight. However, I can't compare the two books since I haven't read "the notebook."
The notebook, on my opinion, shows more on the different characteristics of LOVE, whatever you want to call it.... basta more on LOVE:
1.) Fate - No matter how far your distances may be, even if you two would take different directions, but if you two were meant for each other (MFEO) you'll still end up together. Fate will have its way!!
2.) True Love Waits - Even if there was no sign from each other, even if they've already moved on, but still they both hold on to that small hope that someday their paths would cross again. lol... i'm too far away from the point nah.... See, the guy waited for the girl even though each day he is losing his hope, and he is willing to wait even if it takes FOREVER. While the girl waited also for the guy, by being a volunteered nurse, hoping to cross path with the guy.
3.) Promises - The story proves the quotation : "Promises are meant to be broken" WRONG!! The guy kept all his promises!!
4.) 1st love never dies - really?? lol.... It never dies, It only FADES!!!! But sources said : Whenever you see that person again, the feelings would come back like bullets that were hitting you hard.
5.) Love can make miracles Happen - wala lng.... quotation sa film! hahahaha
6.) You don't have to be OLD (literally) to understand what LOVE is.
7.) If you love the Person, you will Love him/her FOREVER and EVER. Especially during Tough
Times, and will never leave his/her side.
8.) If you love the person you will accept him/her for who he/she is.
9.) Love sometimes happen during the most unexpected time.
10.) ???? uh??? many to mention.... lol... actually, i'm out of words.

New Year + Christmas

New year + Christmas = BORING!!!!


Yep! This year was the most boring christmas ever as far as I can remember; and an indifferent new year.

I said to myself that I would keep this blog as condense as possible....

I've scanned some of my post last year and see for myself what have I accomplished, yet unfortunately my new year post was deleted and it said that it was due to changing my blog layout.... I wonder what have I written there last year.

THINGS TO BE THANKFUL LAST YEAR:

1.) Graduated!!!
2.) an indifferent year, yet I can consider it as a good year... well, at least better than worse...
3.) Seen my "lolo" even for the last time
4.) Experience with my pulpol
5.) acquired new gadgets!!!
6.) friendship recovered...
7.) more...

DOWNFALL LAST YEAR:

1.) I failed!!
2.) my lolo died
3.) My BLOG!!!! --> about the google and all
4.) I forgot...

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION:

1.) Do better with my studdies --> i'm in the point of giving up (shift)
2.) Not expecting anything!!!! ASSUMING for short!!!
3.) Move on....
4.) Let go...
5.) Its not a solution to throw something away to avoid something because it still stays in the mind... I figured out, all I have to do is accept and let go to forget.....



Pahabol lng (complexed personality) : I was about to let go again and already made up my mind, yet there's always an event occuring when my decision is final. Are those event suppose to happen to keep me holding from what i presume? or Im only the one giving meaning to those events because no matter how much good I lie to myself I still can't deny the fact that deep inside me I still cling to that small possibility?

Techie!!!!

I've been having this dilemma a few months ago, ok, so maybe ages ago...

I mean c'mon... People today are into technology, since technology makes our life easier. People before may call it as "MAGIC" or "IMPOSSIBLE". Just like when I was in the 1st grade; as far as I can remember thats when I first heard of mobile phones. I can still remember when my mom uses that big bulky black/gray phone with antenna, I forgot the brand, the one whose only feature was for calling (no sms yet). Then, after a few months, my mom had another phone, smaller than her first phone, however it looks similar, yet it has some additional features in it and thats where I first learn SMS.... ok, so maybe texting (hey! Im still in 2nd grade so I dont know much about these SMS)... Then when I was on my 3rd grade, mobile phones started to emerge, it now has outstanding features and while the phone is upgrading it also starts to reduce in size. At the same time the brand "NOKIA" got into the picture. My mom has her 5110, while my dad has his 3210. The latest I know was 3310 and it became popular, however the price is also popular costing 9K. 9K that time is like 15K-20K today, so its pretty pricey.

While having this vacation, it was a land trip vacation from CDO to Mindoro, with our 2 other relatives in Iligan.... lol.... and this is another story, but the experience was great. fast forward, we drop by Manila to fetch my couz who was studying in La Salle, and when I saw her gadgets I was stunned. Like a star fell from the sky and I drop my Jaw while a fly was laughing at how hideous I looked back there. ok, picture this, I was still in 3rd grade, so that makes 8-9yrs ago. The latest phone so far like I said was 3310, and she already has 8210.... That was like 18K and 18K that day would be 30K-40K today. There's still more, she also have a personal LAPTOP!!! Laptop that time was like "unreachable," I dont even have any Idea how much that costs.

Anywayz.... When I was in 5th grade thats when I got my first phone.... yep! 3310!!!
Fast forward to high school.... New phones began to emerge again.... The phones with "CAMERA's" and NOKIA is still on the lead. Im still stuck with my 3310 T_T
2nd yr came and yeay!!! I finally got another phone (after 3 yrs)..... From Nokia to Sony Ericson..... K500i...... then fast forward.....

After another 4yrs my parents finally bought me another phone.....
From Sony Ericson to Samsung!!!!

Though it isnt my "IDEAL PHONE"..... (REWIND) before that, I was really planning on what phone to buy.... I dont care for the "looks" but the features are "important" so I had a list on...
and as time went by the more features were added to my list

1.) Should have an FM radio
2.) Good Picture Quality
3.) Memory card slot
4.) USB Port
5.) Has both Bluetooth and infrared
6.) Unlimited Video
7.) Photo Editor
8.) Video Editor
9.) Wi-Fi ready
10.) Touch
11.) Microsoft features
etc.....

Then... to sum things up.... I think Im going to be stuck again with this phone for another 4yrs T_T
