Hmmmmmm...

It's the anniversary of the People Power Revolution, yet it seems like no one could be less bothered by it, and the nation is gripped with the Kris Aquino-James Yap-Hope scandal! Hmm... Just proves to show where the real interest of the people lies - SHOWBIZ! Hay naku... Poor Kris this and that... But honestly though, poor her... The thing that irks me most about this, is that people are concentrating more on the women who I believe are the real victims here - wether it be Kris or hope, they're both victims here! Everybody else forgot about James Yap who's the cause of it all!!! Haay... What can sorry do to anyone when the damage has been done already... Pfft!

On another note, I was chatting with a dear friend and of course, our topic of conversation veered to relationships etcetera... In Life, you just never really know... You're with someone for so long and you thought you know that person so well, but then something happens and boom! Sadly, these days cheating has become so normal... With all the distractions and all... Makes you wonder... And wonder and wonder... Life is indeed complicated... Haay!

I miss Boracay... Pwede dun na lang ako?

No worries... That is until you leave the Island... Haay! hehe =)

this month of Feb

:-D

So belated Happy Heart's Day to you all!
I hope everyone had a great time... I definitely did! Whoever did say Valentine was solely for couples? Not so! I must admit, I was dreading the whole V-day affair... But it all turned out pretty well... I received the biggest bouquet ever! Complete with all the trappings - balloons (3 of 'em), roses (of course!), a stuffed puppy doll, a box of the moistest-yummiest-gooeyest chocolate cake ever! I swear, this alone was enough to make one's heart melt... Oh, and the bouquet even had a basket big enough to use for a picnic! How's that to start a Valentine? It definitely made me smile (big GRIN), and feel warm & fuzzy inside... Thanks dear!!! Love yah for it. ;-)

I was on leave for a couple of days to entertain a good friend of mine who came to visit all the way from India! He's actually a friend of mine back from Guyana, but like everybody else (except me!) who's moving around the globe, he's currently assigned in India... I find it amazing that we kept in touch after all these years, considering our history... From Georgetown, to NYC, then London, then India, and then now... It was surreal to actually see him - after almost ten years! And then even more surreal to see him hangin out with my friends... My past colliding with my present... In a good way though. Definitely can't complain.

We were in Boracay over the weekend so I am all tan(very tan as my friends describe it!) and glowing right now! I feel great! Nothing rejuvenates me better than the beach - Boracay at that! Sun, Sea, good company, no worries - how can you ever go wrong! *sigh* Wish it was Boracay time ALL the time...

Feb is almost over - i can hardly beleive it... And so many things happening. You just have to breathe and take it all in one day at a time and just enjoy it. Wether it be good or bad. Experience it. Learn from it. And Live it. :-) Life is just too short.

Cheers! *klink*

The Holiday

I'm not exactly a big fan of lovey-dovey movies, but yes, last weekend, I was conned by my good friend Paul to watch The Holiday instead of Hannibal Rising!!! And I must say, I actually liked it - in spite of it all...

There were some lines in the movie that moved me... The best was:

Iris: It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.
--boohoo! I cried here... Si Paul kasi!!!

And another one:
Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we should have sex... If you want.
Graham: Is that a trick question?

Funny one:
Amanda: Sex makes everything more complicated. Even not having it because the not having it makes it complicated.

And of course, how could you forget the opening lines ala Love Actually ang dating:
Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love...

Have you ever experienced such a case? Unrequited love? Made me think... Have I?
The last time I fell in love... Well, it's not worth mentioning really. Very bad experience, but I've learned my lesson, and that is: to be always on your guard - no matter what.
But back to my question about unrequited love... I dunno... I've felt loved although it was all a lie, so does that count? So I guess it's a bit of a yes & no for me? Oh well!
That must be absolute agony though... Damn... I wouldn't want to be in such a state... (knock on wood!)
This is why I don't like lovey-dovey movies, it makes me too sappy! :-p

Simple Thoughts

Got these from Joven!
They're so true...

life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.  so love the
people who treat you right, forget the ones who don't, and believe that
everything happens for a reason.  know a good thing when you see it, and
don't let it slip away.  if you get a chance, take it.  if it changes your
life, let it.  nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be
worth it.

if you give up when it's winter, you'll surely miss the promise of your
spring, the beauty oy your summer, and the fulfillment of your fall.
don't let the pain of one season destroy the joys of all the rest.   don't
judge life by one difficult season but instead persevere through the
difficult patches, and better ones are sure to come, some time or later...

:-)
