My Ken

Ken, Ken, Oh Ken...Think I'm in love...(again?!) But why not? He's just the cutest thing on earth. I heart him!

Batanes

If I were to choose a favorite place to travel to, I’d definitely pick Batanes. I fell in love with it ever since I got to watch a feature on it in one local show a couple of years ago. Since then, I began to cultivate a dream of one day living and experiencing life in arguably one of the most beautiful places this side of the planet.

Next month, the film Batanes will premiere in local cinemas. This early, I cannot contain my excitement and eagerness of seeing this film. Hopefully, more people will be able to watch it and be thankful that God has showered us with such natural wonder.

I’ve seen the trailer and even the musical score gives me goosebumps. Its lead stars Ken Zhu and Iza Calzado add color to the already colorful setting of the film. And yes, there’s even a seemingly well-woven tale of romance that’s brewing up in the film. What else can anyone ask for?

Sickness

My tummy still aches. I have been having diarrhea for two days now and it has been causing my anus to get sore. Erm...should I even be saying that? Sorry...Aside from that, I've been feeling a little dizzy.

So last night, my brother (who suffers the same fate) and I went directly to FEU in Fairview so we can have our stool sample and blood tested. Apparently, we have the same diagnosis: Acute Gastroenteritis.

Before leaving the workplace today, I consulted one of the doctors in the office and she told me that an illness as such could last for two weeks. But she prescribed other medicines that would help speed up my recovery. She also gave me tips on what to eat and what not to eat. My sincerest thanks to her. I gained a lot of information on this illness from her. I'm just really praying that soon enough I will get well. I'm pretty sure of that...with the help of the Lord, of course.

Memorable Movie Line

Current Obsession

I've been downloading a lot (and I mean...A LOT!) of Basil Valdez songs lately. Why? Why? Oh Why? Basil songs are everywhere. They are just too hard to resist especially with the romantic heart that I have...Here's one of my favorite Basil classics:

Kastilyong Buhangin


Minsan ang 'sang pangako'y maihahambing
Sa isang kastilyong buhangin,
Sakdal-rupok at huwag di masaling
Guguho sa ihip ng hangin

Ang alon ng maling pagmamahal
Ang s'yang kalaban n'yang mortal,
Kapag dalampasiga'y nahagkan
Ang kastilyo ay nabubuwal

Kayat bago nating bigkasin ang pagsintang sumpa
Sa minumutya, sa diwa't gawa,
Pakaisipin naitn kung pag-ibig ay wagas
Kahit pa magsanga ng landas

Minsan dalawang puso'y nagsumpaan
Pag-ibig na walang hanggan,
Sumpang kastilyong buhangin pala
Pag-ibig na pansamantala.

Kayat bago nating bigkasin ang pagsintang sumpa
Sa minumutya, sa diwa't gawa,
Pakaisipin naitn kung pag-ibig ay wagas
Kahit pa magsanga ng landas

Minsan dalawang puso'y nagsumpaan
Pag-ibig na walang hanggan,
Sumpang kastilyong buhangin pala
Pag-ibig na
Pansamantala, luha ang dala
'Yan ang pag-ibig na nangyari sa atin,
Gumuhong kastilyong buhangin.

Fave Song

MINSAN PA

Kay tagal ko nang pangarap
at laging nang dasal,
Pag-ibig na sadyang wagas.
Ngunit waring kay ilap ng palad kong ito
at ako'y patuloy na bigo.

O pusong kay sakit...ala-alang kay pait.
At kung muling balikan ang lahat ng nagdaan,
tila wala pang minahal at walang natagpuan.
Nais ko sanang mag-isa't huwag nang umibig pa.

Kung yan man ay totoo at manatili sa mundo,
na walang buhay, walang kulay, walang nagmamahal.
Ngunit kung ako'y maghihintay umasa pa't
umibig pang muli...
Minsan pa.

Minsan pa akong nangarap
at sana'y maganap.
Sa iyo'y ibibigay lahat.
Narito ngayo't kailanman.
Ikaw ang langit ko,
tanging ningning ng buhay ko.

Halina sa piling ko,
alisin ang takot ko.
At sa muli'y malasap ang pag-ibig na ganap.
At ang pangarap na mundo ay matupad sa piling mo.
Ayaw ko na muling mabuhay nang nag-iisa.

Ikaw ang simula't wakas, ang ngayon at ang bukas
Ikaw ang pag-asa habang buhay..
Mahal pa rin kita.
At hanggang wakas,
pag-ibig ko'y sadyang wagas,
ngayon at kailanman...
Minsan pa.

Never seem to get tired of singing Faith Cuneta's version of a Zsa Zsa Padilla original, Minsan Pa. This has got to be one of the best Filipino songs I've heard so far. Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!

I'm Sorry, I Love You

Maybe I have said it too often that nobody listens to me anymore when I say, I'm in love.

Alright, the kind of love that I mean when I say "love" hasn't reached any farther than a chocolate-flavored infatuation for anyone who captures my fancy...But I'm ready to love if I should prove to myself that it isn't just about fantasies and wishes.

Yes, I'm in love again. Cupid's arrow struck my heart, hit it bull's eye.

So Ji-Sub has ruled my heart. He has even dominated my dreams. Yes, I'm becoming delusional. But I love the feeling. I love it that I can have a reason to look forward to each day of my life.

And oh, that cancelled trip to Korea...I want it badly now. I want to reach my highest star. Ji-Sub, saranghe!

I'm back...again!

I'm back, finally. Been missing out a lot of blogger lately ever since I got crazily hooked on Korean cinema. Crazy, mad, I'll watch anything Korean!

So in love with Korean movies and shows that instead of surfing the net on my spare time, I'd rather watch Korean movies and shows through our very dependable DVD player. Voila!

Ask me about our local shows, I'll probably be clueless because lately I haven't been tuning in to TV either. Such a shame indeed. But hey, I get entertained. That's all that matters, right?

That Someone

Here I am again writing about a film I had enjoyed watching. Silly me for being so mushy. Ah but really, if you want to see brilliant love stories, try Korean cinema. Even their romantic comedies can make some cold-hearted person cry.

Daddy Long Legs, a sad story of unrequited love is probably one of the most romantic films I've seen so far. It made me think deeply of a possibility that there could be someone out there who has so much love to give yet that love isn't reciprocated because either the person cannot let the other know how he feels or maybe the other is too blind to notice.

Well, well, well...I do not know. Maybe there is one for me, maybe there isn't, maybe I'm wishing for one...I guess we all get excited by the thought that someone could be so in love with us, who loves us even without us loving them back, someone who cares for us in their own special way. Wouldn't it be nice that we have someone who watches over us every moment of our life and that we know we're never alone?

Zeke

Just wanted to share my picture with PBB Season 2 housemate Ezekiel.

I super love this picture!!!! Yep, another photo opportunity with a celebrity...Isn't it obvious that I gave the smile of my life for this one? Haha...Anyways, apart from being ultra sweet, nice, accommodating and adorable, Zeke happens to be a cutie as well. I lurv him! Grabe!

Taping

Got to watch a taping of Kris Aquino's "Deal or No Deal" a while ago. I must admit, I had a wonderful time. Kaya lang kainis kasi I was seated near (as in super near) the front row. There were so many cameras. Susme, wish ko lang hindi ako nakita. Oh gosh!!!!

Pix Galore

Had fun taking pictures at the office this afternoon. Actually, my officemates had more fun making at me pose hilariously in front of their digital camera. Well, I'm always willing and ready 'ya know!!!!Hehe...Vogue!

Here are a few of those wacky pix:

naaaliw ako sa my heritage. saya!!! hehehe...

One Sided Love


Your heart overflows with love,
but misses where it's headed to.
Your mind saves you from all the hurt
but the heart can't seem to follow through.

The heart does have a mind of its own,
that you agree,
but can't it think clearly?

Feelings tend to confuse,
and soon you find yourself thrown
into a sudden outpouring of emotion.

The kind of love that will never fail,
and that will always stay,
a love that will never ever miss...
is a love that does not have to insist.

If you love someone, you say it, you say it right then, out loud, or the moment just passes you by...
