We just had our surprising Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) exam this day. This, obviously is a test for ones proficiency in the English language. It is somewhat like NCAE but only the English subject part is taken. This test is composed of two parts, the Listening comprehension and the Reading comprehension each having 100 items. Yes, you read it, 100 items EACH, making them 200 items all in all.
The surprising part is not about the number of items, it is about the announcement of the schedule of examination that was announced just before an hour of our examination. This is due to the one week suspension of classes because of the typhoon that the exam schedule was moved and was not well informed to us. Not to mention this TOEIC exam is going to be considered as our final exam in our English even though the TOEIC people told us that this exam is not graded and this is only taken by students to see their proficiency in the English language.
By the way, the original schedule of the TOEIC examination was suppose to be on October 5, 2009. That's why we expected the schedule will be moved next week and the announcement was to be announced within this week due to the one week class suspension. But both occured at the same day, which was today. O_O
So anyway, our English professor did a review for us a couple of weeks ago, a brief one that should still continue until the day of the TOEIC examination. Well, we had our review...ONLY ONCE because of so many conflicts like the defends on our research papers, suspension of classes not to mention the one week suspension and the last 2 reviews before the examination should have been taken last September 29 and October 2.
Going to the exam, we took the exam on our University Conference Center or the UCC for short at FEU. Just like the NCAE, we had a 1 whole size of a bubble sheet that required us first to shade the boxes that corresponds to the letters or numbers of our names, birthdays, etc. It is a multiple choice type of exam and we just have to simply shade the letter that corresponds to our answer. And as I've said before, the exam is composed of two parts, the Listening comprehension and the Reading comprehension each having 100 items. The first part is the listening comprehension and this is pretty new to me and I think also to all who haven't yet taken any TOEIC exam. They have an audio CD wherein you will be hearing some short conversations of two people with English accent then afterwards answer the questions that follow. Questions are written on the test booklet. The subparts of the exam are consist of identifying the situation of a picture based on the choices given by the one speaking and identifying the right response to a given question also based on the choices given by the one speaking. It's pretty easy and fun actually. =D
Second part was the Reading comprehension. Well, in TOEIC, the subparts of the reading comprehension were choosing the best word to complete the sentence, identifying the errors in a sentence and to answer the following questions that correspond to your answer regarding either a letter, notice, invitation, or billing statement. The last subpart of the reading comprehension was way too dizzy, too many to read and articles were too long! Well, fortunately, only 2 to 3 questions were to be answered for each article. Oh and by the way, this exam was only good for 2 hours, I finished it exactly 2 minutes left on the time, haha!
OH! And by the another way, hahaha! TOEIC is taken by all college students who will be taking up any English 2 subject which I believe would be the second year students like me.
I hope this little information would help a little for those who haven't yet taken TOEIC exam. At least you have a brief background on the coverage of TOEIC. So better clean your ears and start watching American shows for the Listening Comprehension part! XD
According to the TOEIC people, passing this examination, especially getting a high grade would greatly benefit your job interview in the future! But sad to say, this exam expires for 2 years, meaning after 2 years, your grade in TOEIC exam will not benefit your job interview any more. But you can take it again if you like. Just click on the first "TOEIC" word you will found at the first paragraph of my post to enter their site for more information or just click here if you're too lazy to scroll back . >:)
Lastly, taking this exam will cost you 1700PHP. But if you think it will greatly benefit you, why not sacrifice the value in exchange for a better future?
Thank you, Lord
For the past few days, maybe weeks, I haven't got the chance to really talked to God seriously in my prayers. Worst of all, my prayers we're all just begging, asking Him to forgive my sins, give me His guidance, blessings, and help. Help, help and more HELP.
Now, I won't let this chance right now to pass without finishing this post. Well, it had been stated in my title what would I want to say on this entry.
Here goes. I'll just keep it brief. =)
LORD, THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR:
..forgiving my sins always.
..giving me ALWAYS Your wisdom, guidance, blessings and strength.
..always being with us.
..keeping my family safe on September 29, 2009 for the super typhoon Ondoy.
..at least giving me the urge to be a volunteer to pack relief goods even though I came in late.
..not letting super typhoon Pepeng to continue perishing what Ondoy had done.
..having people like the ones on ABS-CBN and also on GMA and all other networks to help those people who had been affected by typhoon Ondoy.
..letting me found my Anatomy book once again for the second time that it had been lost.
..my higher grades on midterms.
..making this day a happy day for me despite my discouragement on going back to school.
and lastly, for ALWAYS GIVING ME A REASON TO SMILE. =D
God bless you all. ^^,

One of the Worst-est Day
Today was one of so many worst-est days in my life. It started kung kailan pa malapit nang magdismissal.
- I flunked our quiz in Organic Chemistry Laboratory, not to mention ikalawang bagsak ko na yan sa midterm.
- And I don't know if it was because of that quiz that I lost 2 badminton matches on our PE assignment.
- I had just realized TONIGHT that I'd lost my Anatomy textbook LAST FRIDAY that was worth 550 PHP. Not to mention that it is colored and contains actual organs of human being.
- My eyes are a bit swollen because I just stopped crying technically for 2 straight hours.
Details are yet to be posted soon.
God, You're still with me, right??? =''''''''((
YEHEY!!! WOOHOO!!!
Hindi ba puwedeng palakihin pa yung size sa title? O baka puwede sa settings, hindi ko lang alam, at tamad ako magcheck? Anyway, dito ko nalang i-ta-type ang malaking YEHEY!!! WOOHOO!!! Ay, ganito lang pala kalaki? Haha!
YEHEY!!! WOOHOO!!! Because I got a PERFECT SCORE on our 4th quiz on Organic Chemistry Lecture!!! Tanggal na ang buwiset na below 50% na third quiz na yan!!! ^^, V
AHAHAHA!!! MEGA Special Thanks to God!!! =D

My First Day (Part 1)
Uhh.. Actually my first day was yesterday, but I didn't have time to post this entry because assignments given--YES, ASSIGNMENTS on FIRST DAY--were already "over the bakod".
Anyway, inagahan ko talaga ang pagpasok kahapon, as in 6:45 A.M. nandun na ako and 7:30 A.M. pa ang class namin. O, 'di ba, kasi according to my previous blockmates, nung Wednesday, sa sobrang haba ng pila para doon sa thermal scanner, eh halos umabot na daw hanggang sa ministop. So it's a "U" line already. Pagdating ko sa school kahapon, wala pang sampung tao ang nakapila sa gate. O_O
Pagpasok ko sa room, ayun, madaming strangers haha! Well, mga 5-7 lang ang mga kakilala ko doon sa loob, and hindi ko na ka-block si Krizia Yap, ang kaisa isang ka-block ko na taga SSHS. BUT, si Tanya Ong ay ang replacement ni Krizia, ka-block ko siya haha! Lucky me, I think? LOL
Well, sabi nga ng iba, most professors are absent during first days, but in our case, ang sisipag ng mga prof namin. Walang nag-absent ni isa. Well, it's a good thing anyway since we are delayed for a week because of the level 6 pandemic alert of A(H1N1) virus. Eh kung mag-absent pa sila, mas madedelay pa ang class 'di ba?
1st subject was P.E. and it was badminton. Professor ulit namin yung prof namin last year 2nd sem sa P.E. 2. O_O Well, I personally don't like her that much. Para siyang palengkera kapag tumatawa, may taray effect pang nalalaman, haha! Pero kung sabagay, friendly naman siya sa mga students niya, it's just that there's something in her that I just don't like.
2nd subject was Phil. Lit. Mukhang mataray sa unang tingin yung prof namin, pero joker naman pala, haha! We passed our Certificate of Registration (C.O.R.) (parang class card) to her and she returned it to us after signing it and she told us to correct her if she mispronounce our names, and as usual mispronounce nanaman ang name ko. I knew when mine was about to be returned kasi yung sa katabi ko nabalik na so ako na ang sunod. She paused for a while and I immediately sensed that she is having some difficulty pronouncing my name. Then she asked, still staring at my name written on the COR, "How do you pronounce this? G9?" This is the weirdest mispronounciation I've ever heard quite my entire life so far. Then tumayo na ako tapos sinabi ko, "it's 'Je-nin'" Then she said, "Oh, sorry." Hay, ano bang mahirap basahin sa "Jeannine"? The spelling is just prolonged, pero "Je-nin" pa rin naman ang pagbasa ah. Lagi na nga misspelled ang name ko, mispronounced pa!
Anyway, 3rd subject was Analytical Chemistry. Lalaki ung professor namin, halos ka-penmanship niya si Mr. duron, haha! Even though my penmanship is bad, I still hate professors/teachers with bad penmanship, hirap kumopya pag ganoon eh, 'di ba? Wala naman ako masyado masabi sa kanya, pero mabait din siya, hindi terror, haha!
4th subject was Organic Chemistry Lecture. Rebonded ang hair ni ma'am, hahaha! After some orientation, discussion na, grabe. Sa tingin ko eh magaling naman siya magturo. She speaks clearly enough for us to understand, as in broad siya mag-explain which is a great advantage for us. Mabait din siya, and she doesn't give surprise quizzes daw (YEY!) haha! ^^
4th sub-subject was the laboratory part of Organic Chemistry. Something really surprising thing happened on this last subject. Explain it later. Well, she is our official adviser of our class, and she was the one responsible for the selection of our Chemistry professors. Well, according to her, she gave us the best possible professor that she can ever select among all she handles. Actually, I think she made the right choices kasi feeling ko, magagaling ang mga Chemistry professors namin this semester. Sa pananalita palang, halata na, hehe.
Okay, so the the big revelation. After some orientation, guess what, nagquiz kami. Our FIRST quiz on FIRST day. It's an essay quiz about Laboratory Techniques and Princles in Chem Lab 1. Shocking talaga! I had a brief review during summer in Chemistry but I didn't quite reached that part, so stock knowledge ko lang talaga ang pag-asa ko. You know the shockier thing? The essay should contain NOT less than 100 words. LINKING VERBS, PRONOUNS, ARTICLES and PREPOSITIONS are NOT counted and it should also contain NO ERASURES. Fortunately, madami dami din akong natandaan, so I think I passed, haha! This was really our first quiz, NO JOKE daw sabi ng prof namin. Fine, edi hindi. Afterwards, we were dismissed.
End of first day. Well, I really like to thank God of course for everything that happened on this quite interesting first day, I know that He's always on our side to guide us and I'm glad to know that. Sige, ayoko nang dagdagan, inaantok na ako, sorry kung magulo ang post ngayon, haha! Inaantok na talaga ako. @_@
Good night everyone, thanks for reading, God bless you!! ^^

Reaching Intimacy-vs.-Isolation Stage
Wow. Time's really ticking faster and faster. Yesterday is just like I am entering prep school, and now I'm already 18. Wonder what changes will I undergo reaching adulthood? Let's see, hmm.. I still won't give up watching cartoons, that's for sure!! This is the only quickest way to lose stress, haha! Well, maybe learning how to drive 'cause I have already reached the legal age now, having the privilege to vote during presidential elections, but it looks like there's no one in the candidates that favored me this coming 2010 election, *sigh* travelling out of country without a guardian (OH YEAH!!! ^^) and a lot more.
ERIKSON'S THEORY
There's one more thing that I know will change in me reaching young adulthood, that is reaching the 6th stage of Erik Erikson's Developmental Stages which is called the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage. Well obviously, love develops in this stage. Hmmm...haha!! Not yet, not now, maybe crushes, YES, CRUSHES will do but not yet love, LOL. I have many crushes, you know, haha! Tsaka I don't really think any 18-year-old will understand true love. I'm not saying Erikson's theory is wrong, kasi parang nag-dedevelop palang yung feeling of love natin at the age of 18. Maybe reaching 20's will be the right time to feel true love.
MY THEORY
(Sa mga ayaw pang ma-fall, pero malapit nang ma-fall.) Sabi nila hindi raw nakokontrol ng brain ang heart, sabi ko naman edi unahan na ng brain ang heart bago pa man siya i-kontrol nito. In short, you won't be able to fall in love with somebody if you make the right move and that is the job of the brain. (Tips sa mga mala-teleserye ang love life, LOL!)
CONCLUSION
Reaching 18 years old doesn't mean that we have to have the "special someone" in our life already. There are a lot more important things in life that we must first accomplish before going in to a relationship like of course studies, right? Enjoy your life! Learn how to have fun! Wait for the RIGHT TIME to fall for the RIGHT ONE, 'di ba? Para walang regret regret. God is always there to guide you, He has plans for you! Wait for God's signal, He will give you your "right one" when the right time comes. ^^

My Top 10 Favorite Movie Soundtracks
Ok, I'm addicted to posting my many top-10's nowadays. And I am actually still planning to post also my top ten...uhm..top ten......top ten.... who cares! I will just going to! >=)
Now, as what my title states, I will be posting my top 10 favorite movie soundtrack. This is not the official one, but these are somehow the ones I like right now. =)
Ok, here we go.
1. I BELIEVE
This is not the "I Believe" of My Sassy Girl hehe. I loved that song but apparently got bored with it immediately. So anyway, this "other 'I Believe'" was featured in the dance movie Honey starred Jessica Alba. The song is by the way performed by Yolanda Adams and is only featured at the end scene of the movie where every single one Honey (Alba) taught in her temporary dance studio performed to raise money for the ownership of the studio. How this song made the movie special is that the song talked about how they (the dancers) can achieve their dreams no matter what happens, they just have to believe in their selves. The beating of the song is also great. =)
2. SAY
'Di ko na lagay picture nung movie ah, nalagay ko na kasi yung pic sa previous post eh hehe. This song was performed by John Mayer in the movie The Bucket List. Well, it's a great song because it encourages us to speak out our hearts, to say it out loud, whatever we want to say and not to ever mind what others will think of us as the lyrics is telling us to, "SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY". It keeps repeating the line in the lyrics, well, maybe it really emphasizes that we should really speak out and to have no fear. I also love how it seems to be an acoustic one because of the sound of the guitar. I personally love many of John Mayer songs, but this is my favorite one among all. =)
3. LITTLE WONDERS
Ito rin, 'di ko na lagay pic hehe. This song is in the movie Meet the Robinsons, and was performed by Rob Thomas. Well, this has a wee bit similar meaning with "Say". This one on the other hand is telling us that even if we have little time here in this world, we should treasure all that we have right now and not to be ashamed of what we are thinking with these small hours. Haha! And also to forget what's in the past and move on with our future with many little wonders because time is too short for us to go back and reminisce our not-so-pleasant past. =)
4. LOVE
This song was performed by Matt White in the movie "Little Manhattan". This was really cute because it revolves around a kid at a very young age (performed by Josh Hutcherson), I think about 9 or 10 y.o., falls in love with a girl that is I think a year older than him. ^^ But he does know that this such love he is feeling is not a puppy love anymore but rather already a true love even if he's just 9 or 10 y.o. Cute nuh?? :">
5. TRY/I LEARNED FROM YOU
Ito rin wala pic haha! These songs were featured in the movie Bridge to Terabithia. "Try" was performed by Hayden Kho, oops, Panettiere pala haha! Well, same as "Say" and "Little Wonders" this song then again is telling us to try obviously, to try whatever we want to do, or to dream or whatever. Type ko nalang konti yung lyrics ng chorus, kasi yun din naman ang sasabihin ko eh haha! "If you try and you just believe, you can, you will. Reach inside don't be scared to dream, never know until, until you try." =) This second song was performed by Miley Cyrus. Okay, I know y'all hate Miley, but you have to admit it, magaganda mga songs niya, kaso nga lang siya ang kumanta, SAYANG. >:) Anyway, maganda song na ito, kasi it's like a father-son conversation or father-daughter (like Billy Ray and Miley, actually, this was originally sung by Miley and his father.) or mother-daughter or mother-son. Pero parang mas okay pakinggan kung father to daughter lang haha or maybe I just got used to hear Billy Ray and Miley sang it together. =)
6. SOMEONE'S WATCHING OVER ME
'La rin pic! ^^ This one is performed by Hilary Duff in the movie Raise Your Voice. Not only the tune is wonderful but also how Duff performed it during the show. This song was dedicated to her lost brother that made this song so special! The song also involved a violin! And I love how the sound of the violin blend in the song! Great song. =)
7. NOW YOU KNOW
Another song by Hilary Duff but originally written and performed by Kara DioGuardi. I like the version of DioGuardi more than Duff's, but both were great, I just can't seem to find the version of DioGuardi to download, hirap hanapin eh, hindi yata nirelease, hehe, pero narinig ko yung version niya dun sa movie mismo which was "A Cinderella Story". Anyway, I think this song is like telling the person who she really is and that it's not really worth waiting the person would show what he really is because waiting for that person is like waiting for the rain in this drought, useless and disappointing. (a line said by Sam in the movie.) =)
8. THE CLIMB
Another song by Miley Cyrus in her own movie "Hannah Montana the Movie". Sorry talaga for the haters. Well, I also don't really like her that much though, pero MAGAGANDA LANG TALAGA ANG MGA KANTA NIYA!! 'DI BA!!! Haha! I don't have to explain myself anything to anyone anyway, it's my blog after all! =p This one talks about life, that it is the climb. We should climb to reach whatever we want to reach for ourselves. Maganda ito promise, kung ayaw niyo boses ni Miley, endi download kayo minus 1 tapos kayo kumanta, i-record niyo, ayan, hindi na boses ni Miley, sa inyo na! >:)
9. LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
This song was performed by Rascal Flatts and is from the movie "Cars". Well, similar as "The Climb", it also talks about life obviously, that it is like a highway, a long way to go and to learn so ride it all night long! I haven't really watched "Cars" 'til the end, I tend to switch the TV to other channels in the middle of the movie hehe kaya siguro, hindi ko pa naririnig ito. This song was just recommended by Sydneylyn, and is fortunately great. =)
10. JAI HO
La pic. The one performed by The Pussycat Dolls. Well, I think everyone likes this one, haha! Pasensya na, nasa ten ito, hehehe! I only liked the part of Nicole singing "JEI HO" after the "You are my destiny". =)) haha!! Funny niya ah, JAI HO kaya, hindi JEI HO!! =))
Well, these are my top ten, hoped you like it. Magaganda naman 'di ba? Hehe.. Actually, parang ang ko-korny ng description ko sa bawat song eh hehe. The truth is I just only like the tune of some of the song, pero parang wala lang siya kung hindi ko lalagyan ng ilang description eh 'di ba kahit korny, ok na, basta meron hehe! =)
Balak ko pa naman din magpost ng top ten ko na songs ni Miley Cyrus hahaha!!! Magaganda naman talaga eh, lalo na yung mga Hannah Montana's album. Her songs are in fact, really great. It's just her voice that makes people to dislike ther songs, I guess. =)
Thanks for reading anyway. God bless. ^^
My Top 20 Favorite Movies All Time
Perhaps I should rather make it my top 20 movies all time hehehe.
This movie was everything--thrill, tragedy, romance, drama, and a bit of comedy. Who can ever forget Titanic, Rose and Jack? The best ever tragic-romantic movie I've ever seen quite my entire life so far. =)
One of the most unique love story that I've ever watched, especially the part where Gyeon woo (Cha Tae Hyun) made the ten rules to Ji Hyun's date about on how to make her happy. It was the most beautiful part of the movie. Romantic comedies always clicks me hehe. =)
Agh, Forrest Gump, I personally love many of Tom Hanks movies. Well, it's because, his acting is always perfect for his role of what the character is supposed to express. I simply love the story because, despite his dissability, particularly brain, he still live his life to the fullest and know what true love really is and he is just..well, Forrest Gump! =)
Most touching film I've ever watched about dying. It's never too late naman eh, to make a bucket list, the only problem is that, sometimes, it's kinda impossible to accomplish it considering the money. How I wish that I may meet a person that has plenty of money like Edward and fulfill my bucket list. =) Oh, and I love the featured song in this movie, it is entitled "Say" by John Mayer. Actually, you can see the chorus sa blog title ko, yun lang ang chorus inulit ulit lang haha. =)
You know something? I dislike Hilary Duff now, hahaha! But this movie was great, I like any movie that is related to music with a taste of drama. And romance. Haha! The most interesting part in the movie for me was the part where she sang "Someone's Watching Over Me" as a farewell song to her brother and it was really a very touching moment there that time. =)
Another musical film. The most amazing kid I've ever watched related to music. Well, I do appreciate music, I think everybody does. Watch this movie if you haven't yet and witness something you would never believe in your entire life about a kid and his love for music. =)
Well, what do you know, it's Jim Carrey again! XD. But I hate him here! He was a meanie!!! XD. Well, what I love about this movie was of course the cooperation of the 3 siblings against Count Olaf, yeah, even their youngest sibling helped a lot haha! Violet was so full of ideas and Klaus was very intelligent and Sunny, well, just adorable! hehehe!! Movie was great, fun and very wholesome. =)
Well, isn't he just so adorable? XD Another time travel movie. Hmm.. What can I say about this movie? Well, apparently every single part of it was so breathtaking, haha! The song featured in this movie was also great, it is entitled "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. I also loved how the film ended by leaving a quote by Walt Disney saying "keep moving forward". Mahaba pa yan eh, pero yun ang parang core meaning nung quote hehe. =)
Even though nag-top ito sa 2008, this will not be placed as my top movie, haha! For me, maganda naman yung movie, pero at some point, average lang din siya, kaya nga top 19 lang eh hahaha! Well, it is an extraordinary movie, kasi ba naman, wala nga naman pinagaralan si Jamal Malik eh, tapos nanalo siya jackpot sa Who wants to be a Millionaire 'di ba. But it was truly miraculous that all the questions asked to Jamal were actually related to his life kaya nasagot niya lahat nang tama. Jai Ho! =)
I browsed Wikipedia for a list of films produced over the years to refresh my memory of the movies I had already watched. Wikipedia has a list of films starting year 1800, but I started browsing in the year 1990 and so on until 2009. Hundreds of films were produced every year, so by that I mean I browsed over 1900 films. Well, haha! Honestly, it's pretty exhausting browsing over a hundred of movies every year starting 1990. Imagine if I had to browse starting year 1800, HAHAHA!!! But it's worth browsing after all since it helped me picked 50 movies that really favored me and by that 50 it was eliminated to 30 then 20 then I stopped. Can't eliminate anymore.
Ok, here we go.
Ok, here we go.
1. TITANIC
This movie was everything--thrill, tragedy, romance, drama, and a bit of comedy. Who can ever forget Titanic, Rose and Jack? The best ever tragic-romantic movie I've ever seen quite my entire life so far. =)
2. MY SASSY GIRL
One of the most unique love story that I've ever watched, especially the part where Gyeon woo (Cha Tae Hyun) made the ten rules to Ji Hyun's date about on how to make her happy. It was the most beautiful part of the movie. Romantic comedies always clicks me hehe. =)
3. FORREST GUMP
Agh, Forrest Gump, I personally love many of Tom Hanks movies. Well, it's because, his acting is always perfect for his role of what the character is supposed to express. I simply love the story because, despite his dissability, particularly brain, he still live his life to the fullest and know what true love really is and he is just..well, Forrest Gump! =)
4. THE BUCKET LIST
Most touching film I've ever watched about dying. It's never too late naman eh, to make a bucket list, the only problem is that, sometimes, it's kinda impossible to accomplish it considering the money. How I wish that I may meet a person that has plenty of money like Edward and fulfill my bucket list. =) Oh, and I love the featured song in this movie, it is entitled "Say" by John Mayer. Actually, you can see the chorus sa blog title ko, yun lang ang chorus inulit ulit lang haha. =)
5. RAISE YOUR VOICE
You know something? I dislike Hilary Duff now, hahaha! But this movie was great, I like any movie that is related to music with a taste of drama. And romance. Haha! The most interesting part in the movie for me was the part where she sang "Someone's Watching Over Me" as a farewell song to her brother and it was really a very touching moment there that time. =)
6. AUGUST RUSH
Another musical film. The most amazing kid I've ever watched related to music. Well, I do appreciate music, I think everybody does. Watch this movie if you haven't yet and witness something you would never believe in your entire life about a kid and his love for music. =)
7. ANGELS AND DEMONS
Told you I love Tom Hanks, XD. Here is another movie starred by Tom Hanks, and is the latest one. Of course the movie will not be as similar as how the book was written as always. Hmm..let's see, I think about 30% part of the movie will let the avid readers of Dan Brown feel disappointed. But the remaining 70% of the movie, I assure you, is worth watching. =)
8. SWEENEY TODD
Three things I love about this movie. First, Johnny Depp. Second, the reason why sweet Benjamin Barker changed to demonish Sweeney Todd . Third, the duality of musical scenes and thriller scenes. What a perfect movie!!! XD
9. BACK TO THE FUTURE (I, II, III)
Michael J. Fox, also one of my favorite actor, starred in this sci-fi film Back to the Future. After I watched this movie, I really wish to travel back through time to when my parents were still not as what they are right now. Nakakatuwa nga lang yung part two nung nagtravel sila sa 2015, ang exagge kasi ng future nila eh haha! I still don't think that there will really be a flying car, hoverboard, etc. by the year 2015, maybe 20 years more or so haha!
10. SO CLOSE
LOOOVE their gadgets!!! Haha! Well anyway, I also love the actions scenes here especially how WELL they planned their moves against their enemies using their what they called a satellite technology in their computer and Shu Qi was very good being the assassin, but I don't like her in The Transporter movie though. =)
11. JUST LIKE HEAVEN
Weee!!! Another Romantic Comedy haha! Also one of my favorite unique love story. At some point, Mark Ruffalo was cute in the movie hihihi. Reese Witherspoon, one of my favorite actress, she's just so awesome, perfect for the movie. They make perfect chemistry. This movie is just really too good to be true. =)
12. BRUCE ALMIGHTY
Comedy again! Jim Carrey, my favorite White American comedian. I also love it when he does drama, he's great in both actually. I love the part where he ruined Evan Baxter's newscasting LOL!! The touching part was when God ask him what he really wants, and he just got the perfect answer, most touching part of the movie. Great film. =)
13. LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS
Well, what do you know, it's Jim Carrey again! XD. But I hate him here! He was a meanie!!! XD. Well, what I love about this movie was of course the cooperation of the 3 siblings against Count Olaf, yeah, even their youngest sibling helped a lot haha! Violet was so full of ideas and Klaus was very intelligent and Sunny, well, just adorable! hehehe!! Movie was great, fun and very wholesome. =)
14. MULAN
Perfect movie for great honor, responsibilty and hmm.. what else? I guess that's it hehe.. La ako masabi sa movie, pero one of my favorite pa rin haha!!
15. BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA
Wow, I cried badly in this movie nung namatay si Leslie XD! I still can't understand why she should die, hay, ang ganda na nung story tapos namatay pa siya! After she was dead, parang nag fast forward na ang story, Jess' younger sister May Belle turned out to be the queen of Terabithia instead of Leslie, ayun tapos the end na haha. Great fantasy though hehe sarap ulitin, pero ayoko lang talaga yung part na namatay si Leslie hehe. =)
16. SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES
Another Freddie Highmore movie haha! One of the coolest fantasy movie I've watched hehe. 'Di ko alam kung dahil kay Freddie Highmore o talagang maganda lang ang movie hahaha!!! Maganda naman graphics nila eh, tsaka ang wild ng imagination ni Freddie which I think made the movie interesting hehe. =)
17. MEET THE ROBINSONS
Well, isn't he just so adorable? XD Another time travel movie. Hmm.. What can I say about this movie? Well, apparently every single part of it was so breathtaking, haha! The song featured in this movie was also great, it is entitled "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. I also loved how the film ended by leaving a quote by Walt Disney saying "keep moving forward". Mahaba pa yan eh, pero yun ang parang core meaning nung quote hehe. =)18. ANT BULLY
Haha! This made my imagination fly. Sarap kasing tirisin ang mga langgam sa bahay eh bwahahahaha!!!! What if the ants really have the ability to invade us? What if the ants will also shrink me?? What IF!!??!.. hahaha!! Pero the greatest part of the movie is that Lucas cooperated with the ants and ayun friends na sila hahaha!!
19. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
Even though nag-top ito sa 2008, this will not be placed as my top movie, haha! For me, maganda naman yung movie, pero at some point, average lang din siya, kaya nga top 19 lang eh hahaha! Well, it is an extraordinary movie, kasi ba naman, wala nga naman pinagaralan si Jamal Malik eh, tapos nanalo siya jackpot sa Who wants to be a Millionaire 'di ba. But it was truly miraculous that all the questions asked to Jamal were actually related to his life kaya nasagot niya lahat nang tama. Jai Ho! =)
20. SHAOLIN SOCCER
Ok, haha! Medyo may pagkacorny yung movie na ito, pero I still like it though hehe. Stephen Chow eh, what do you expect diba hahaha!! Siguro what I like about this movie is the duality of Chinese and American tradition, the comedy of the film and their extraordinary ability to play soccer.
Well, I guess that's it! Thanks for reading. ^_^
I'm back (hahaha)
Well, here I go again ahahaha!!! Post post na ulit, la naman maisip na mapost. Well, I was thinking of Patricia's suggestion eh, yung movie review or post ko top ten movies ko. Haha, nako, mahihirapan ako dito, sa dami ng napanood ko, I can't classify those movies anymore as a good one or a bad one for me haha! Pero, sige Pat, isipin ko talaga ang mga 10 na movies na pumatok sa akin, tapos, post ko, and also a review. ^_^
By the way, I really liked Angels and Demons. Well, I think this will probably be the movie that I will be making a review of haha. But I'll think about it pa, hopefully maka-post din haha! Most likely, this movie will be included on my top 10 list. (o pat, may isa na, hahaha!!)
Hmm.. Well, I guess, that's it for now, see you on My-Top-10-Movies-All-Time post and probably a movie review. ^_^

Think Twice
Those annoying children playing and shouting near our "bangketa" on a sunless-cloudless Sunday afternoon was very "nakakairita". Together with the annoying non-stop barking of a dozen of mini pinscher and some annoying sound of some metal tubes being welded not to mention also a paid non-stopping "sipol" of an annoying man for the training of the pigeons for a pigeon race. Try living here and feel the ambiance of all possible annoying experience right here only at our place. O_o
Well, the one that caught my attention was those children playing outside. I overheard them talking or rather having some arguments towards each other and this was their exact dialogues were:
"The future is in the hands of the next generation."
"Peace on Earth."
Really? Think again. =)

*Pagkatapos mabugbog ng slight*
Bata 1: "...Eh, kasi pikon na kayo eh!!!"
Bata 2: "Eh siyempre! Kelangan yun! Bakit magpapa-api
lang ba kami?! Siyempre babawi kami! Ano ha?!"
Bata 1: *X(.........>:'(*
"The future is in the hands of the next generation."
"Peace on Earth."
Really? Think again. =)
