HIGH SCHOOL LIFE.

this is what i love about having a 3 days off! this is just happiness! i can sleep all day. blog. go to the malls. be with jowa and pig out! looooove it!

anyway, i think this is the first time i will be blogging this very much familiar topic. i was scanning through my friends' updates and then i stopped on my cousin's album of her high school life (she will be graduating from high school this year, so may i emote si cousin about high school life nya.) and she looks very happy and looks like having fun all through out, and then i realized.. i miss high school.

sabi nga nila, 'high school ang pinaka-masayang stage ng buhay.'

as you can see, i had a normal high school life. friends. love life. fighting. mga kalokohan, but if i had a chance to go back, no. i wont take it. i had fun and i was hurt either.

high school life will always be memorable for me, because it is where i truly learned what life is really all about. i learned to cherish the little things i have with my loved ones. i learned to be contented whatever i have right now. i learned how to stand still and be strong no matter what life throws at me. i learned how to respect, care, and love the people around me, and lastly, the most significant one, which surely i will bring with me for the rest of my life.

looking back, i admit i did not make the most of my high school life. i had been a disobedient student (and when i say disobedient.. ay nako!). i did not take my academics (really) seriously. i took my potentials for granted. i hurt some of my friends. i was not able to be the person that i can be. i missed a lot. there are many things i should have done, which may result to a better outcome, but i was too blind to see that I gave more priorities on the less important things. i dont want to rant about how horrible/fun my life in high school was but lets take it as a fun, memorable experience of a lifetime. :)

so parang naglabas lang talaga ko ng sama ng loob. haha! next time i'll be more detailed :)

The Vow Movie Review

Warning. This is a Channing Tatum Post. Totally A Channing Tatum Post.

i just saw the movie yesterday and i really dont know what, why and how could i describe the movie without focusing on channing tatum. i am with my boyfriend and the whole time im watching the movie, i keep on saying, 'shet ang pogi ni channing tatum noh?' HAHAHA. and my boyfriend keeps on replying, 'inulet. oo nga pansin na pansin mo nga.' so ONE BIG ADVICE IF YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH IT ON CINEMA.. HUWAG NYO ISAMA ANG MGA JOWA NYO. AGAW TRIP LANG YAN! *crazy*

the vow, starring rachel mcadams and channing tatum, is definitely not the usual chick flick na binayaran nyo. they have the usual “oh this this is just the Notebook kind of movie,” but hell its not. in fact, it’s far from it. it was funny to be exact. it leave you feeling all fuzzy inside, teary-eyed (god, i cried like two times) and wanting to see some more. annnnnnd it’s inspired by a true story.

whats funny and surreal about the story is.. they have those type of love that everyone can dream of. but their love took a turn when they were involved in a car accident that caused paige (rachel mcadams) lost her recent memory (past four years of her life that includes his husband). i won’t spoil the rest of the movie for you, but they obviously go through many ups and downs as leo (channing tatum) tries to make his wife fall in love with him again. *awwww*

here are my 5 reasons to see the vow!

#channingtatumSHIRTLESS

they've gone skinny dipping and during their "great" days.. they dont have any problem getting hot and sexy (you know what i mean). so needless to say, there are MANY sexy channing tatum moments that you can’t miss.

#channingtatumIDEOLOGICAL

i swear i can listen to his voice.. all day. everyday. his character often shares his theories about love and life which.. haaaaaaaay.

#channingtatumCRIES

there's this particular scene na umiyak ako na si jowa na ang nagpunas ng luha ko. i saw the vulnerable channing tatum at that moment. which is.. haaaaaay ulet. *walang basagan ng trip*

#TRUESTORY

i read a few reviews before watching the movie and i have that idea that it was based on true story. it was a tragic, at some point, that a marriage that perfect have to go through and endure that situation where one partner suddenly became a stranger to the other. that was just.. heartbreaking.

#CHANNINGTATUM!!

are you convinced yet?

Relationship failures.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy relationships.

Fact. Relationship fail for a lot of reasons, all depends on the couple and sometimes how they treat each other. As I gather some information (officemates, friends, family, strangers.. chos!) on what reasons, these are the top ten reasons relationship fail to shed some light that turns to breakups.

Warning. All couples face these issues in their relationship but not all of them lead to breakups. *defensive.*

1. promises (broken promises, i might add) lying, cheating

these very much obvious violations of trust. if the basic trust in a relationship repeatedly broken, over and over again, problems increase, motivation of staying together.. down! couples should learn to reconcile, forgive each other and accept their differences without anger and bitterness.

2. 'power' in the relationship

couples may be more likely to break up when there is a dominant decision maker than the other. when one person makes all the decisions about activities, friends, vacations and everything else.. the relationship isn't balanced anymore and it becomes unstable. both partners should be equally share the power of making a decision! isang malaking check!

3. stereotypes (lame!)

this is one of the lamest reason a couple shouldn't do! this is just madness! chos! mistaken gender myths such as, 'men should earn more money than women' or 'women should likely to stay at home that men.' this is just.. pure.. blah!

4. isolation or we-are-sociopaths-couple

i may or may not agree with these one but yes, it is one of the reasons. you know that new couples tend to isolate themselves from the outside world because 'they are inlove and want to be together all the time' ANSABEH? a brief period of isolation from the main environment is normal but its way far healthier to interact with other normal people diba?

5. facts and myths about each other

there's a difficulty in building a better relationship or healthy love relationship if one is not aware of their partner's interest, need, plans, goals and other kachuvahan. knowledge in these kind of stuff help you communicate well on what they are and what they want in the relationship, which on the other hand prevent problems. :)

6. insecurities.

funny part on concluding this one is i have a friend who constantly says she is not worthy of being loved by her jowa or she didn't feel loved something. basta ganon! and in psychology, insecurity, low self esteem or lack of self confidence can lead to possesiveness and dependence. doesn't sound healthy right?

7. JEALOUSY! epic.

hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat ang bagay na to. (nanosebleed na ko kaka-english) no matter what type of jealousy pa yan (delusional, normal, extreme) jealousy is jealousy. it is frustrating, annoying, painful, embarrassing and devastating to a relationship.

8. ineffective communication.

both should be able to share everything, well not totally everything but the thoughts, feelings, opinion, values, even frustrations and happiness! there is some couple who avoid to talk honestly with their partner and hide their true selves. many people believed that the no. 1 secret to maintaining a healthy relationship is having good and constant communication. it keeps the relationship bonded and flowing. :)

9. control issues

this is somewhat the 'power' issue but this is way much more. power and control are two of the most significant issues in any relationship. the more trouble the relationship is facing, the more of these power and control issues will resurface. many people said that this should be a 'guy thing', but this is 20th century people. everyone is equal. :)

10. picking faults

relationships require a certain tolerance of others’ weaknesses. relationship should be able to cope with constructive criticism and suggestions but that doesn't mean we stop ourselves on noticing whats wrong or the bad things. and if you become too critical it will cause long term problems.

i am no expert in these stuff, me myself experienced/experiencing this things as well. but there is something called, the magic of making up. :)

you shouldn't sacrifice all the good memories for the bad ones right? and as for the quote from the movie 'the vow' said, you should't sacrifice all the good things the person have done just because he made one bad thing. :)

HAPPY 2012!

Its better late than never, mate! Wew! As i checked, i posted here last September pa. That long! I'm on my 'talkative' mood. I'll try my best to give you the best details without ruining anyone's reputation. Destructive 'to! Chos! Syempre joke lang yon. Joke lang talaga yon.

So let's start, shall we?

It's 2012 people. (obvious ba?)

And everything has changed. And when I say everything. From head to toe! From work to personal thingies. It's a good change though. Good change that I became a bad person in months! (Labo lang.)

I just started reading again. Reading means absorbing, choosing the right books and right genres. I just finished reading Eat, Pray, Love. Veronica decides to die. Love and war and so on and so forth. These are good books by the way. So good you want to change your path in your life once you finished reading it. Try it! Now na! I usually read the books on pdf, tapos tsaka ko sya bibilin and see if worth it ba. (300 pesos in a book is no easy decision.) Except for the Love and war. My kind officemate let me borrow it after reading a few pages and then i got hooked but for the rest ganyan ang kalakaran.

(being talkative starts to wear off.)

What else?

Well, no love life muna tong post na to. No bad vibes please! *may ganon! BITTER!*

I started blogging. Ok.

I started being paranoid, bipolar and extremely unreasonable human being. Let me add, it gets worse. I don't know what's going on my floating brain these days but it gets worse and worse na dumating sa point na parang baliw na ko talaga. (parang lang guys ha.) It's not the hormones or the weather or the pressure or the stress.. basta ganun lang sya. Oh diba, na-enlighten kayo. Baka naman lahat tayo dumadating talaga sa point na 'to. Di kaya? Oo na lang.

Enough about me. Kasi baka masira pa ang reputasyon ko sa sobrang honest at narcissistic ko.

I just realized, as in at these very moment ko lang to narealize, na.. friendship sucks. Well not all. Pero when you re-evaluate them, parang you have so many friends that you invest time, love and effort tapos one day.. poof.. gone.

In psychology, there are factors that makes draw people together as friends. Common interest. Common values. Equality. Well this is all true. But what if.. all these three factors changed? You changed your interest, the values and the equality between you.

I, for example, loves to hang out lang sa places ng mga friends ko when I was like 19 or keme. But now, since i discovered that travelling is way much more exciting, intimate and fun, that my friend is a changed of interest. Pano na yon? Sino mag-aadjust?

I am very much aware that I am possessive in a way. O sige na nga, in many ways. I don't like being lied for someone else. Okay enough. No bad reputation on the way.

Anyway, promise on my next post wala na tong sumpong ko and I'll post something na worth it basahin. Hmp!

Night!
