I guess i have been away from this page for more than a year now. Tryin to be back!

What Good It Gets when You Get enough Sleep

TADA!!!!

Yeah! My physical looks would seem like I'm relieved after a very tremendous event that had happened 2 a week ago. Well, some say I have moved on but in reality, I really did not.

Thanks to some friends who shared times and lent me their ears while i was blabbering. My appreciation for those people who have considered me a big, important friend thus I am still here and ready to face another storm brough by life.

Or maybe the good night sleeps had given the reason to smile after all. Thanks to Mommy Jane!

The four corners of one of her rooms made me feel special and important thus my deepest gratitude for letting me in. My sincerest thanks to her for welcoming me and opening up her house and let me use one of those comforting rooms I've ever had. I got 8 hours straight sleep thus giving me enough energy to continue with what I was about to leave.

These good night sleeps made me feel like nothing ends if you really seek for help. That despite of the tragedies and chaotic situations, life is still there for you to face. You do not need to think about what's not to come or what's in store. You seek for it. You asked for it so you need to work on it to get an answer.

These consecutive good sleeps have made me realize my worth, my existence and now I can move on freely, think and wander my thoughts liberally and stand with my own liberty and freedom again.

I wish I have slept 8 hours daily before!

Choices and its consequences

If you are to pick a pink bag and you are a man, then basically people would have this questions protruding in their minds. Why pink? Why that color? Its unmanly!

If you are to pick a broadway show than watching soldier-themed movies, then your friends would start to ask you why. Why?

The answer is, its our choice! Its our forte and its what what we love.

A man would say, I chose the pink bag because its cute and I guess I don't care what people say. This is my identity or this is my faveorite color or I'm trying to make a trend.

Or, a man would say, I love music. I like music. I love performances and I love to be on that stage someday so im picking the broadway than the movie.

Everybody deserves choices for themselves. Needless of the negative consequences that it may bring, as long as you can carry on and stand on why you pick that choice, bring it!

Why do we need to listen to people when we know that what we are doing are simply the "just" for ourselves. We, too, need opinions from others but bringing something like "Dude, you would look gay in that pink thing" or "Did you forget that you are a man and man loves action movies?" are way below the line. Yes we need those criticisims and justifications but the truth remains the same. We rule our own lives.

I chose to leave because i want a greener pasture or I chose to stay because I love my colleagues and the crown I'm in, are some of the choices I opted to pick these days. The truth remains the same, I'm here! Staying in this very happy playground. I chose this because I can't find any other reason why I should leave in the first place. I don' have a place to go. I don't have a place to stay and I am so tired of always starting up anew.

Despite of these decisions, my friends differ in their ideology of why I am staying. Some said that its best to leave co'z of the sufficating task. Some others would beg me to take a rest and some others will just hold on to me and ask me to stay because this is the only place that I could call my own.

I love picking choices and facing consequences but still I would defer the decision to myself.

..on Moving Forward ( an unwise decision?)

I suppose to wear that happy smile on my face after being personally chosen by one of my Boss to be transferred to another department. Yes, a sort of flattery moment but then again, it came surprisingly, by-passing my existence. I deserve to know first though since it was me that needs to decide if I am willing or not. Who else would decide for myself but myself alone!

My idea of growth in the work place is based on the opportunities that would come knocking on my door. I always wanted to grow everyday when I am at work. I have always wanted to surpass those things that I can do and change it to a more challenging and complicated stuff, have my self untie those knots of difficulties and breath fresh air after coping with the new challenge. Yes! that's what I've always wanted. Growth, challenged and prosper in this world.

It all came as a surprise. Or should I say a joke that have slipped out from one of my Boss's tongue. When I was asked if I wanted to be transferred, I definitely said "NO!". I like my current environment. I like my crowd and I love working on this jungle of fun place. So I said "no". But honestly, I was thinking selfishly.

It came to me that I should have considered what's at stake. Promotion? Challenge? But why me? Im cenrtainly not the only one around and there are a lot to pick who can work better than me. There is this colleague of mine who is better than me (I swear he is!) who deserves a new environment. For goodness sake, lets say that staying in that four corners of the room for a year will really make you sick. This man needs to vacate his seat and sit more comfortable outside that zone. I would love him to take that part and have me stay in my current office.

The truth is....

I wanted this!

My Last Hurrah!

Well, it has been a pretty bad months previously, for me. Certain things have made my outcast plight but I guess things will change now. Now that my last hurrah has paved its way, I think I can move on smoothly.

Remembering those days will always hurt my pride and ego after bowing down to people whom I should not bow to. I still reign the kingdom and nobody can stand in front of me and I will never let my guard down now that I have been so pathetic for the last couple of days.

As they say, life sucks for good people, I can say it was and it will never be for me now that the filthy witch has took its broom out to nowhere, my dominion will now reign again.

I just simply kicked out someone from my house after considering its state of nowhere to go and nowhere to sleep. But too much really harms some other elses life, thus, my last hurrah was when the witch walk her way out of my kingdom.

Goodbye!

The Harry Potter Book Marathon

So goes my one week vacation (but including my restdays from works, it was a nine day straight out of the office). I spent much of my time at home trying to arrange and re-arrange the things in the living room but have been taking much time in sleeping.

I really did plan something on this vacation but there were things that have came along the way not allowing me to go on with my plan. Dammit though! I arrange this vacation for a special occasion, concerning my Father's death anniversary, since December of 2010. Gees! another of those broken plans.

Anyways, i find time as well to read those books on my shelf and was able to complete reading the whole 7 books of Harry Potter in just a month (March 10 to April 11, 2011). I have read the first 2 books before but i decided to read it again anf go on with the rest of the books in which I find it self-fulfilling that I was happy to finish it in a short period of time despite of me being busy at work sometimes.

What did i gain from that book?

I guess i can't say that i gained something from the book or learned something from it. The thing is, i didn't read it to look for a specific thing that I could apply to my life. All the stories were actually packed with adventure and it gives me a realization that there is a world existing in our imagination and all you need to do is just look at it on a different view such as reading this kind of stuff.

I salute J.K. Rowling though for the wonderful book she have shared. It is worth reading for me and it is worth imagining things like flying brooms, Quidditch and Horcruxes. I even wanted to have some Hocruxes so that I could atleast live 7 lives (which is impossible). Just an FYI, Horcruxes will be introduced on the last movie.

As i have heard, the last Harry Potter movie will be showing on July 2011 and im pretty excited to watch it.

Move On and Bye Bye

So here goes me. I missed a lot of things in FB due to smoe hectic schedule at work. Haven't done visiting my neighbors in CITYVILLE or even visited my town in FRONTIERVILLE. I was able to get a chance to change my profile pic. But haven't got the chance to post a new status.

I got some music browsing done for one song "TIM JAMES - I'LL BE YOUR SECRET" but to no avail thus I posted the video on my wall and asking for peple (begging!) to spare me the song bye sending it through my email or even give me a shot if they have it.

Anyway, I'm moving on. Enough of those kind deeds. Enough of those "understand-the-situation-of-a-friend" scenarios. I grown up with it and I don't wanna be left out as the sole victim of this kind deeds.I ain't born a saint. If they can't take what actions should I take, better be sorry for them. I just want to see the real me without hiding what I feel. Besides, enough is enough. Troubles have been done. Pity days is over and this is the start.

I won't treat people with special care unless they would see me as such too. Someone that they can take care that much.

Or maybe this is the time that I need to check the reality that I am 30 years old and I ain't getting any younger. I need to move on and I need to be more mature than what I am now.

Sorry you pal. I ain't taking this any longer but I guess if things will not end my way by Friday, consider waving your hands bye bye to a wonderful time with us. I don't wanna play around like a saint anymore. You aren't taking your steps to even show you care for the things that had happened.

Bye.

GLEE Season 2 Episode 16

Thanks for the seeds and peers who have not let my day down. I was able to download the GLEE S02E16 where in the cast has come up with fresh new songs. I know that it is not always okay to sing the most requested songs on the radio and, well, this episode has something to prove that the cast will have a milestone on their chosen field. 

Anyways, I figured it out that Rachel Berry (Lea Michelle) will be singing the solo for the regional performance (as always). But she really is a woman of art. She belted the song well and I just love how she delivered the song knowing that it was an original composition. 

What surprise me too is how the song "LOSER LIKE ME" gave a positive outlook to all losers. It was such a catchy song and such a song of wit and well I my say I want to download the song but I can see any seed yet. 

GLEE-K here. Hoping for next week's episode 17. (i got all the season 2 filed up in my downloads, im glad I am not waiting for it to be in DVD co'z I can make one soon.)

Why I am So Hooked Up with "GLEE"

I have counted down the various reasons why I'm so hooked up with the current dominating musical show on TV, "GLEE". I hope it ain't a surprise when I say that I have been born to love music and watch musical shows. It runs in my blood though. My parents are good with singing and they too are musically inclined. They have always been a role model to me ever since.Well, not just my parents but as well as my kins. I would say, we are a clan of singer-wanna-be's. And, well its just the way it is. 

Now, lets go back to the main biz. GLEE has been one phenomenal sitcom that has captured the whole of me. Its music, characters and episodes will always have me dig the internet for those songs they are playing. Alas! Thanks to the this great technology innovation that I could look them up easily. 

 I have made my own list of reasons tough why I liked "GLEE" so much. 

1. I love how they play with their characters. A variety of people with various characteristics comprising a Glee Club is so unusual but they did it well. 

2. I love how Brittany (Heather Morris) play dumb and she really is one person I always look forward to whenever she delivers a line co'z I know it would always be a punchline even if she has that innocent looking and face. I just love Heather doing the character. It is only her that I was able to get the idea that ADULTERY is all about being stupid as an adult. I got a lot of laugh on that. 

3. The protagonist/antagonist approach of Santana is so realistic. This Latina (I hope she is) bitch will really have you wanted to screw her neck whenever she plays her role and whenever she screams fight to any other character. Watching her doing it is such a reel. Plus, she is hot and I love her when she plays the playful Santana trying to play with boys. 

4. Combining winners and losers in one team is a total disaster in which only in Glee caters this type of Group. The cheerleaders, the football players and jocks down to an handicap-able man on wheel chair, they are in one team, THE GLEE CLUB of McKinley High. 

5. They cater variety of music. They just don't stop with the latest but they did down the albums of dead people and trying to give it a new taste to the new generation to fit in and look back on yesterdays kind of music, plus, the fact that they also cater almost types of music genres, its a good watch and listen show. Knowing the fact that I wasn't born on the 50s or the 60's not even the 70s but I can hear them singing songs older than me and I'm glad to hear it these people. It gives my song vocabulary and additional list of songs. 

6. Dianna Agron (Glee's Quinn) is so hot that I am not wondering why she was the head cheerleader, Fin's ex, Puck's child and Sam's new love. Her bitchy approach sometimes can always make her on top but I always love her whenever she plays an angel and talks softly and friendly. I just love her. 

7. Gender is not an issue to be a part of the group and diversity is not an issue as well but not if Kwarovski would kiss Kurt again. LOL. Kurt is one typical happy people that just wanted to see his nature in a crowd which he found in Glee and I love it when they embraced Kurt in the group not as a gay but someone who is one of them sharing the same passion in the arts of music. 

To be continued..

Me and My Horoscope for the day

From the above horoscope, it is reality for me for the past few days. My moody irritation is driving the people around me crazy about what is happening tome. 

For the past days, I have been so troubled with everything around. Family, friends, work, love life and myself. All is soaking my soul to death that I can't find time to properly think of things clearly and do some things appropriately. All I know is I kind to forget that I ain't alone in this world but still I seem to isolate myself and retracing all by myself the past wrong things that I have done. 

Good thing I still have the ability to camouflage my real feelings and have it hidden until all around me is an empty space and time starts to tick tock slowly that all I can hear are just those sighs i breath and those empty thoughts are penetrating the every inch of me.

Glad that I could still work properly and can still talk with people humorously. I never have time to talk to myself when I know I got some issues within me and I still tend not neglect it.

They say horoscopes are not real but I could probably say this time that the above captured horoscope says something about me and my state during these times. 

Bad.

"I Am Number Four" or the misspelled name case again.

Since it was my rest day, I have all my time to do anything what I want to do. My itinerary for this day is blank thus whatever comes in my mind, so be it.

After getting out from Unionbank ( I have my expiring ATM renewed) me and my Bhe went to Robinson's for some quality time. We have not planned of anything yet but whatever comes, so be it.

After checking whats being shown, we ended together to watch "I AM NUMBER FOUR". It stars ALEX PETTYFER. Our friend's review has have got us wonder what was the movie co'z we heard good feedbacks and, they did not let us down.

It was a good movie ( simply i couldn't say the best) and though I know this was based on a novel/book, there are deleted scenes that we cannot see but we can read in the book.

SFX were great. Superb fighting scenes and great stunts.

This movie starred my favorite GLEE-k DIANNA AGRON (playing Quinn in "GLEE"). Such a pretty face. I love her more when she does not play the villain of the story. She was great and yes she is so beautiful.

She played Sarah (opposite John Smith, played by Pettyfer). She was indulged in photography and when she met John (an alien who dress, walk, talk and live like us [human]), it turned out that she fall inlove with him and the rest was there love story. At the end, John will need to leave her first as they need to find some of their race scattered in allover the world.

Callan McAullife played "Sam", a bully from their school but has made friends with John and they turned out to be buddies, searching for Sam's father who was known to have been abducted by aliens of John's like.

HE and his father believed that aliens from other planets exist but has been treated like freaks and was bullied almost all throughout Sam's younger years but he now can prove that they were not those types of person when he met John. The problem is, He need to keep the things in silent.

This is Timothy Olyphant. He played the protector of "the number four, John. His rule was to play as the father of the alien John. Well, as the story goes, protectors always die in the movie and he died in the movie for protecting the sole savior of their planet.

He was cool.

And before the movie ended appears TERESA PALMER, who introduced herself as the "NUMBER SIX". SHe and John fought their enemies and all I can say was their scenes were great. SFX made it like something real.

TERESA PALMER is one hottie!




Well, I was ended with some hanging questions. I know there will still be a sequel for the movie and I hope it would be shown so soon.

Anyways, to save up some of my hanging questions, we went to Bestsellers (a National Bookstore  subsidiary) to ask about the book and yes, they confirmed its selling like hot cakes. I have asked them to reserve one for me and the problem on wrong spelling appeared again.

Sales Lady: How about saving one for you sir?
Me: Sure.

She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down "Reserved" and my name: "Mr. John".

to Nimmy, comment on why I appear to have issues with the spelling of the sales lady again.


LOL.

127 Hours (Aaron Ralston's Story)

Its 6:20 in the morning and its more than 18 hours that I am wide awake. After my 12 midnight end shift work, I always tend to get my self busy with things co'z I know my eyes would not collapse yet the moment I come home. 

I just finished watching 127 Hours which starred one great actor, James Franco. From the words of my friends mouth, its a good watch thus I was so curious and wanted to have a peak.

The story was actually based on reality. This were all experiences of Aaron Ralston on his adventure to the Great Canyon (don't know exactly which state was it in the US but I know its one God's great grandeur.) 

These experiences have put some realization to Ralston's life. Only when the worst case scenario came that he have thought he has been selfish and has been so happy-go-lucky without even knowing that he has already neglected his duty as a son, a friend, a lover and as an individual. 

Sometimes we would all feel the same way as Ralston. We forget our responsibilities and more often we would always think of things selfishly. (Im guilty!). Most of the times, it is only during the darkest hours of our life that we would realize how stupid we are for not even thinking of what might other people say and do and what might we have listened to that would be a good way to weigh things. 

If we are in Ralston's situation, cutting his arms would have been our only escape from that rock. We are helpless and we can't find someone to pull up the rock and get our arms freed from being stuck. The reality is that it is during those time that we can then appreciate the fact that we have people around us who can help and lift us up. Thus, it is always important for every individual to learn from their mistakes and continue life despite of what had already happened. 

After Ralston's escape from the rock, reality hugged him and thus still living the way he was but now along with a partner. 

No man is an island. None can gain confidence if no one appreciates those little and simple things you do. It is always important to follow one rule of the thumb: "Don't let yourself be fooled by your own. Second opinion always helps thus live not alone and be a listener, a friend or a lover. A son, brother or a group member. After all, it is always rewarding to see people smiling at you because you are important to them. 

For the movie alone, its one great eye opener for people who are bounded by his mind and his own. Open up and see things not just by the way how you see it and let the people around you tell them how they see it and weight it. 

A must see movie!

^_^

My Emo Moments (//.-)

While I was weighing things while I am sitting in my room, I realized that I have missed a lot of things that i could have done to make me worth not just a son, a lover, a friend, and individual and a future family man. 

I came to realize that I have been empty all the time. None has been accomplished by myself. Nothing has happened for those past years and past months. 

I came to realize that I have neglected a lot of things or have thought much about things selfishly. 

I do have my right of giving myself a break but things have been so fast that I was not able to look after what I have done and what have not done for me, myself and for the people around me. 

I was ALONE all the time that I was not so sure why I have been so empty until this day.

Secret Garden (Korean Soap Opera)

So I finished watching the Korean Soap Drama "SECRET GARDEN". Well, actually, i haven't finished watching the whole 20 episodes and ended at episode 18 co'z the episodes 19 and 20 were busted. Silly CD!

Episode 19 and 20 plays the great episodes co'z this would make some serious turn-outs of things and I tried digging in some info in the net (videos) and mysoju.com's file was also corrupted. Dammit! I tried looking in youtube.com but sigh! i only got some episode 19 parts. Dammit!(again). I have stayed more than 16 hours awake just watching the soap and I would only end up craving for the episodes 19 and 20. 

Anyhow, the story was another one great Korean drama. The twist and turns are more surprising and revelations are more surpirse

The story revolves around 2 individuals, Ra Im and Woon Joo. Ra Im was an orphan turned stunt woman at the age of 30 while Woon Joo is one money-maker who plays the president of their Department Store LOEL. 

Of course, there love story is the usual plot of a poor girl and a prince but in the story, Ra Im and Woon Joo were 2 individuals of different characteristics and as the story goes the adage "opposite attracts" will prove that love can move 2 hearts. But, for this 2 love birds, its a hell of ups and downs for Woon Joo's mother is so against them plus there is the director and singer who shake's the Ra Im and Woon Joo tandem. 

The next thing I know, I was carried away on how the twist moved Woon Joo's mother when she later found out that Woon Joo's savior when he was on an elevator accident that brought him to the state of being claustrophobic, was Ra Im's fireman Father. But she still need to cut off what ties his son and the poor stunt woman thus despite of the gratitude for the girl's father, she will do everything not to end up seeing his son with Ra Im. 

And, another twist came in when Woon Joo's memory about the accident was being brought up by his mind.

I don't know what comes next co'z episode 19 and 20 were busted. Gees!

Just want to share though one line from the soap that made me realize about life.

"IN LIFE, THERE ARE SOMETHINGS THAT COULD MAKE US HAPPIER BUT WE CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY SMILING AT IT WITHOUT NOTICING IT."
