Mahal Kita Kasi (I Love You Because)

Caused quite a commotion on facebook among friends and colleagues. Can't help but grimace at the corny lines. EVERY line, mind you, is really, really corny but nevertheless brought a smile to my face.

Right in time for Singles Awareness Day er, Valentine's Day rather.

But don't you think all these eventful days were really cooked up by businessmen? To boost their sales on several occasions? Make roses, hearts and anything significantly red, insanely expensive?

People oblige and search deep in their pockets for the smiles and giggles they see on the faces of their loved ones are just priceless. AND NO! I'm not being sarcastic. I just wrote a sincere line there folks.

Mean It When You Say It

If I could ask God for something, it'll be the ability to get a hold of myself, get a hold of my thoughts and get a hold of my tongue. They pierce and they hurt. But I take consolation in the fact that they are true. I don't say it to intentionally hurt anyone. I say it to let one know I am feeling over their actions and how I actually see them. In every relationship, I believe an open line of communication is a key to make it last. Why not say what you're thinking before it builds up and slowly eat your sincere willingness to listen and reason objectively to his or her side of the story? Whenever I do though, most often than not, people see it the wrong way. I come too strong, as they say. That is why, I have learned (albeit my vibrant and talkative demeanor) to keep delicate thoughts to myself.

How weird. I would like to hear for myself how they feel and think about me. Oh well. We all have our differences. Can do nothing with that. Whatever it is, for me, if I dislike something or someone, I'd steer away from them. As much as I can, I avoid pretenses. I am civil but that's how far things go.

I hate conflicts. Really hate it. Especially when you talk it out with close-minded and self-righteous persons. Frustrating. Bad for the health and creates unmerited stress. Either way, you lose. I wish they don't work that way but no, they do. Life loves to hurl conflicts and they seldom end up nicely. Both parties, after talking, would surely stick with what they initially thought making the whole point of meeting and talking pointless.

*sigh* I just leave it all to Divine Intervention. Leave it all in the past and hope for better future! What has pas has past they say. And for now, that cliche should suffice and realign my focus and energy to midterm exams this week. Bumpy ride ahead.

To last week's conflict which gave us unmerited stress, worry and hurt.. this is all I got to say..

Angelina Jolie: WHO IS SALT?

Ever since Tomb Raider happened, I've always been a fan AND on some occasion, an avid stalker. LOL

Her newest movie is a must watch!

Summary of the plot from www.imdb.com

'As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?"'

Sunrise to Sundown to Sunrise!!!

January 30, 2010 was surely a night to remember for the rest of my life.

Worries about the academics and other concerns were all set aside as we partied like it was the only time we've got on our hands. Friends excitedly jumped in the pool, hooted and splashed everyone passing nearby to urge others to get in and join in on the fun.

I joined in later as I was still waiting for Ivan to finish his coffee so I was left by myself at the side of the pool dancing to reggae music. As soon as Ivan finished his cigarette and coffee, we joined in on the fun without further delay. At 3 am, we were still dancing and singing at the top of our voices to the band playing on stage. And we took underwater pictures every chance we got. It was amazing that after such a long day we still had the energy to party like crazy 'til dawn. If we were cold and tired, we felt nothing. All we thought about was to have FUN. And boy, am I glad we did.

At the height of all, the male vocalist gave in to our request of Careless Whisper. He let me sing a line. When everyone asked him to take off his shirt, he feigned embarrassment and gladly obliged as he jumped in the water to join us. Everyone was so surprised because we thought he was only kidding. But he did right? We became fast friends, introduced himself as Miguel and we then took underwater pictures as seen below.

notice me, struggling to get the mic as the vocalist urged me to sing.

posing with the vocalist and few of my restless friends. Below is the underwater pic with vocalist.

Got home at 7 am. Went straight to bed groggy, almost zombie-like. 26 straight hours of no sleep was so tiring. But it was all worth it.

CONGRATULATIONS to all JPIA Officers for a successful Annual Regional Convention. No matter what others say, the delegates' smiles and laughter we saw and heard in the convention already compensated for all the hardships we had to face.

Inmates Dance For Jackson's Dvd Launch

What you just saw are inmates from Cebu Philippines' Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, a maximum security prison. And dancing to the tune of Michael Jackson's songs with the King of Pop's long time choreographer Travis Payne and two of his dancers in his supposed-to-be This Is It tour Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid. What's even more amazing is that they mastered everything the choreographer and dancers taught in two days! We're talking about inmates here. People convicted of criminal actions. These men are drug dealers, murderers, rapists and just about most of the dangerous men in the country and all are dancing for the King of Pop as what they previously did several times for him. Come on!

I'm so proud! As a Filipino, I had goosebumps as I watched the video brimming with pride knowing the world will see this at Michael Jackson's "This Is It' Dvd Launch.

Congratulations to Filipinos worldwide!

And the video below is the first showcase of their talents which afforded these inmates and the prison facility in Cebu worldwide recognition as they dance to the tune of, again, Michael Jackson's Thriller. Can they make it more obvious that they just love the King of Pop? Enjoy!

The inmates show their grief for the King of Pop's sudden death.
