My cousin asked me to blog so here goes... The title suggests I watched the John Lloyd - Sarah movie. I did. And I can't think of a more creative title for this post. So... Whatever! I watched the movie coz 1) I love John Lloyd, 2) my bestfriend who idolizes Robin Padilla loves the movie so I got intrigued, and 3) I wanted to feel kilig even for just an hour or so. The movie is good and lives up to expectations. I don't get why it got an A though. The story is good, the lines were memorable, the direction, cinematography, and editing were ok. John Lloyd was adorable. He was cute, lovable, and made me believe he is all in love but confused and desired to please his family. He was good but there's nothing new or shocking to his performance. Sarah is surprisingly good. I didn't watch the first movie so her acting kinda shocked me. Her Laida is miles away from her Bituing Walang Ningning character (which I liked) but she delivered. Me thinks she can act well. The rest of the cast were good as well. Even the Laguna factory workers. What I really…

Life is Dull
Life is boring. It's full of work, disappointment and stress caused by work. Other than work, it's all DotA, poker, blogging, Plurk, and Facebook. In other words, I have been a boring geek. There have been guys, and some flirting. But those have been blah! Boys aren't able to commit. Mebbe not my time for love and romance. What I'm saying is I need something or someone new. I need to discover or try out something different. Something not work, not DotA or poker, not blogging or with my cousins. Definitely not a guy who says and does the right things but can't commit. I don't think I really need a boyfriend, just new people, and new stuff to be interested in. I don't know what I want or need, maybe that's part of the problem. I'm thinking of taking dance classes, something I have been wanting to do for a long time. Also thinking that maybe I should go speed dating again. Maybe I should go out with the guys who obviously like me, but don't interest me yet. Or maybe... You have any suggestions? I like my life now. Not as complicated as it was before. I get…
When Is Enough Enough?
I've heard and been witness to some bizarre and convoluted love stories, and have even been part of a few. I have witness how hearts have been crushed to bits and how some stories do have happy endings. One thing I've learned about life and love is knowing when to say no, when to quit, when to realize that something is too much. In poker, it's knowing when to fold. I've had a friend who tried, for the longest time, in weird and sweet ways, to catch the attention of a girl. He even studied hard and worked really hard just to be on the honor roll so the girl would notice him. He graduated as one of the top ten in the batch, but he didn't get the girl. He loved the girl so much that when his mother told him there are many other fish in the sea (tired cliche, I know), he told her "but *insert girl's name* is the only girl I want." Poor guy didn't know how to quit, and he suffered for it. And then there's this cousin of mine, who after years with being with her first boyfriend, broke up with him. Fact…

How 2008 Changed My Life
Subtitle: An Obligatory New Year Post January The year didn't really start start out with a bang. I was a pretty boring month and one of my more interesting blog posts was a LOL Google Adsense moment. But it was also the month I started on a new business which was jumpstarted by planning and coordinating my cousin's wedding. I also bought myself a belated Christmas gift which has helped a lot in my blogging. February February was a defining month for me. After the success of my cousin's wedding, I decided to do the leap and be a wedding coordinator. It was also the time I tried out and enjoyed speed dating. Hope there's another one this year. March March was remarkable mostly because of work and blogging-related things, but also because I was happy. For the first time in a long time, I was truly happy. I cannot remember why I wrote that entry, but I can vaguely remember what I felt back then. And somehow that makes me happy right now, and gives me hope that I can be where I was back then. Maybe coz it was my ex's and my 6th "monthsary"? No? Thought so!…
