TITANIC

Awhile ago, I watched Titanic for the VERY FIRST TIME. I figured if I wanted to get into the movie business, it would be a shame not to watch one of the greatest romance & epic movies ever just because I am deathly afraid of sinking ships. AND, of course, people freak out when I tell them I haven't watched it yet. LOL. Indeed, I have been missing a lot by not watching that film. I KNOW, OKAY? haha. Thanks again to Javi for downloading it. :)

Prison Break Finale

SPOILER AHEAD. HAHA.

This is probably one of the best conclusions to a TV series EVER. Well, it is for me, since I'm rarely able to finish a series. Haha. I seriously cried LOADS for Michael Scofield! You really feel that everything they went through ever since the first season ends there, like there's this montage of episodes of the last 4 seasons in your head. Haha.

Thanks to Javi for letting me watch it. Or the whole of Prison Break for that matter. :))

I should be doing school work right now.. work I've missed not doing because I was sick for the past two days. I am obviously delaying it yet again. lol. I am not enjoying one bit of ANY of my classes this semester -- well, maybe 2 out of 6 but that's not enough to make me want to get up and go to my classes and walk around in the rain EVERY SINGLE DAY. I enjoy almost everything I do outside school as if all I'm waiting for is to get out of it. lol.

What is wrong with me??

Man in the Mirror

This is the most moving MJ song for me. MJ's songs have been the best but this one really goes into the self. You know, the thing that affects me the most is that he had to die before the world had been all-out in celebrating him. I still can't get over it. I guess the saying never fails: You don't know what you have until it's gone. I'm guilty of this too.

"The King of Pop". "The greatest entertainer of all time". There must be a reason they gave him those titles. ;)

I know everybody dies eventually. But I'm pretty sure not everybody can rise up that high and perform to change the world.

Anyway, enough of that. Here's the song that reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Gandhi,

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ;D

because Michael Jackson deserves a spot here

Here's to the legend, the King of Pop, who has managed to tie the world together. If only he could see the billions of people worldwide mourning his death, but also celebrating his extraordinary existence in history...

Leda and the Swan

Ever wonder how Zeus in the form of a swan managed to rape Leda?

I was TOO curious, I had to search for artists' interpretation of it. lol.






Naughty naughty Zeus... ;)

On the Paradox of Life

I found this somewhere online.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

The Paradox of Life

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods, and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. ..."

Bihira lang

Bihira lang dumating ang mga taong kaya mong kausapin ng buong-buo, iyong mga taong mapagkakatiwalaan mong ibuhos ang sarili mo nang hindi natatakot na baka hatualan ka nila bilang ganito o ganyang tao. Iyong mga taong kaya o sinusubukan kang sabayan kahit papaano sa pagmumuni. Iyong mga taong handa at lubos na nakikinig sa mga salita mo, na hindi lang tumitigil sa pagdinig ng aktwal mong boses at mga salita kundi pagdinig ng mismong pagkatao mo, na pati ang mga bagay na hindi mo sinasabi ay naririnig at naiintindihan. "Can see through you" kumbaga.

Bihira lang.
