Marriage

"Marriage"...what is marriage? People often ask "Why do we need to get married? Can we just be together w/o going through marriage?" People who doesn't experienced true love will say these things. For me, for the past 10 years, I've only love one man and that man is my husband. There were times that I thought "I am really lucky to have someone like Matthew". He made big mistakes and hurt me really deeply but all of that were all gone...maybe not really gone but our love overwhelms them therefore it doesn't hurt anymore. Being married is not easy. It's like a roller coaster ride. You may also think that marriage is like a book... full of emotions, drama, twists....Both of us...we've been through a lot to keep our relationship strong....Now I finally realized that LOVE is just a portion of what marriage is truly made of...I think RESPECT plays an important role in any relationship...with RESPECT everything else follows...like TRUST, LOYALTY, SINCERITY and LOVE. There maybe other things that follows and that I don't know....all I know is that it takes two people to create marriage....two people to nourish love...two people to create a family...With that said, I will try my best to make our marriage strong and blessed...I will not give up having a baby for my husband...even if it cost my life or emptied my pocket...I will make my husband the happiest man on earth by giving him a son or daughter...God, please watch over us...protect us from temptations, make us stronger and help us nurture our love for each other even until life after death.

Super Junior Repackaged 4th album

Finally, I got the repackaged album of Super Junior including their poster...I was trying to buy this album since it was released here in the Phils. but I got so hooked up in reading the Mockingjay that it slipped my mind and then just after i got my legs waxed i saw the odyssey and bought myself the album...by the way thanks to Nisce for my "fabulosa legs"...

SALT

“Salt” is a tremendous load of action scenes, but unlike other action movies, this has the sense to keep matters moving along at any cost. An adrenaline shot of international spy games, “Salt” convinces more with its sheer velocity than its enigmatic story, which is positively alien in matters of logic, physics, and hypnotic characterization. It’s a big, barreling popcorn adventure lugging around one element that helps to sustain its entertainment value and enhance its screen magnetism: Angelina Jolie.

Leaping around the frame, Jolie makes a fabulous impression. Without much of a dimensional character to work with, the actress turns Salt into a feral beast of a warrior, able to defend herself from any threat while maintaining perfectly glossed lips. “Salt” has a tendency to get lost in the mayhem, but Jolie does an excellent job keeping the picture alert and compelling. **review By Brian Orndorf

UFC 118

Frankie Edgar really dominated Bj Penn....he's getting better and better with his striking and putting a lot of combinations...i haven't been a fan of frankie but now I am...Bj Penn really sucks...defending his legacy?...he should be defending his face first...Frankie defining what a true champion should be...Congrats to you...

The Expendables

Another movie that I really, really like is "The Expendables"...action-packed with a pinch of comedy...the action scenes were so breath-taking that u feel like ur there right at the battle scene...i like how it focuses on all the characters rather than focusing on either Sly or Jason...I also like Jet Li's character...funny but lethal in combat...even Randy Couture...wow he can really act...Terry is a bad-ass weapons specialist...his role fits him well...Mickey Rourke...ur one of the bad-ass actors that I really like...and not playing a role of a villain also suits you well...Iron Man must be jealous not to be in this movie...Dolph..just hearing ur voice scares me...good job on giving the extra spice on the movie...

Hachiko, A Dog's Story

I watched this movie recommended by my officemate and started getting interested about it....Imagine a dog waiting for his deceased master to come out of the train station..sitting on the same spot where he always waits...everyday for the last 10 years and died on the same spot too...it's is so touching and very sad...I wish people could have that sense of loyalty to their loved ones, may it be their husband or wife, a friend, colleague....if a dog can do it why not humans...right?... I cried starting from the middle part until it ends...it's so unbelievable that he could do that...and he's a dog, remind you that...I wish I could have a dog like that....10 years?...wow...that's definitely a good proof of the quote " A Man's Bestfriend "...I think this movie should get a reward or some kind of recognition coz its so full of sense and meaning to life...Hachiko is an angel sent by God to remind us once again that all is possible if you put your heart into it...love is not just being together but rather, sharing each moment with a smile...we only live once and we should make each day a special one to our loved ones coz u never know when all the smile will go away...atleast when ur gone, ur loved ones will still smile when they think about you...reliving the fun memories u have with them...

Mockingjay

Finally, I got a copy of the final book of "The Hunger Games", MOCKINGJAY. I was so excited to get my book that I picked it up at lunch break and started reading it....unfortunately I didn't get a free tshirt coz I made a late reservation...but anyways, the book is much more important....Starting from Chapter 1, the book didn't disappoint me and now I'm at Chapter 7....It's hard not to continue reading coz it messes with your momentum....This book really deserves a praise coz it's worth every penny....Can't wait to see the movie produced by LIONSGATE...there are no actors yet..the director has not been picked yet but there is a draft of the script made by Suzanne herself..... it will definitely be a huge hit and it might even be at the same level as The Harry Potter movies...worth anticipating...

Trip to Singapore

My husband went to Singapore for a 5 day training with Brainlab...I really miss him a lot while he's gone...we txted everyday but I still worry about him...my husband really likes Singapore maybe that's why he agreed to go...when we picked him up at the airport yesterday..I was really, really happy to see him....he'd only been gone for 5 days but for me it seems like months...he bought me an itouch, a 500GB external hard drive for my kpop and Roxy chocolates...it's all for my bday this coming 29th....even without the gifts..i'm still happy coz he's safe and back beside me...i hope next time we can travel together coz we haven't had a real honeymoon...i'll pray that our dream vacation will soon come true...i know it will...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Finally, the last installment of the Harry Potter movie series, "HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS" is now fast approaching...only 3 months to go for part 1(Nov 19, 2010)....i watched the trailer and....WWWOOOOWWWWW....cant wait to see it....im so excited coz...this is my fav book ever...the only book that i re-read many times...(The motion event of the generation)

The A-Team

This is a funny movie...and very strategic..if I may say...and Rampage?...wow..I didn't know he can act....well, I recommend this movie to all...

Avatar, the last airbender

I just finished the series of Avatar, the last airbender...it is really much more fun to watch than the movie...the characters from this series is much more interesting...that's something different from the movie..though I still like the movie...The ending is good too...everyone fighting the fire nation to save the earth kingdom and the whole world....that's action-packed scenes....wow...i hope when they make book2 into a movie it's more exciting...

BST - Shock of the New Era

I bought a cd of B2ST last july 21...I've been planning to buy this cd but have no time...been busy lately...I also got their poster...love it...really strong...what kpop group will I buy next?...hhhmmmm...

Jaymar's Despedida

Yesterday was our friend's last day at ROHM LSI...though we're not close, we do not dislike each other either...he's a small guy but with a big heart...funny too...i hope he'll be successful to his new chosen path...the best of luck to him....these are the photos taken yesterday at the elevator and in front of Ansons bldg...that's where our office is...au revoir chingu...(french & korean)

D5D at Congo Grille, El Pueblo

These picz was taken at Congo Grille, El Pueblo...Almost all of D5D were present except Bryan and Abet...forget diet....

Super Junior 4th album

I bought a cd of Super Junior and i was really excited to open the cd and see the pictures of the members but i'm a little disappointed with their album jacket...it's so plain..if they used the pics from the free poster we got when we buy a cd of suju then it would be more catchy but the important things is the content of the cd is so awesome...no wonder they are the best kpop idols...i even bought the collector's edition myx magazine coz its all abt KPOP...AJA AJA FIGHTING (the album cover displayed is from the repackaged album of SuJu with 3 new songs and 1 remix of shake it up)

34th National Milo Marathon

Manalac family went to Luneta to join the 34th National Milo Marathon. As usual I'm the photographer. I really enjoy taking pics especially photos of my husband...hehehe...next year I will surely join the run....need to loose weight...hehehe....

Prince of Persia - The sands of time

This is one of the movies that I really like. There are a variety of movies abt turning back time but this movie creates a more interesting side. The existence of humanity depends on a dagger protected by chosen guardians. The actors are well thought of and they really portray each character well. I didn't expect the actor Jake Gyllenhall could play a role like that. He's so mature( in a good way) and even look hot. When I saw the posters in malls I didn't recognize him at all. Even the action pack scenes are well executed. A movie worth seeing. Good work to the director.

Super Junior's 4th album

Super Junior's 4th album is the best....the beat and the dance moves are very addictive....and their new looks with their sexy bodies...wow...the songs alone are great but adding the moves makes it even greater...they're probably the best kpop group in asia...B2ST new mini album is also one of my favs....i didn't get to see them when they had their mall tour but i have their album....just waiting for SUJU's album release here in the Phils.....can't wait to get my hands on them....eunhyuk....ur the best...like ur hair....and ur abs...hehehe...i think ur more sexy than siwon....SUJU FIGHTING!!!!

Daddy's day

today is a very special day for fathers and fathers-to-be...even if we are still trying to be parents i still greet my husband a happy father's day....as always we celebrate it thinking soon we'll be parents..we just need to try and try...not to loose hope....but for now we treat each other on occasions like this.....i really love my husband...he's so supportive of me....he even find ways to keep me healthy to conceive....with him beside me i don't worry much...as long as he's there with me i don't feel sad anymore.......i love you di...mwah

hope

Last may 26 i suddenly saw a spot of blood in my underwear and i was shock coz its too early for my monthly period. i ask my mom's friend what's wrong with it and she says i maybe pregnant...we were trying to get pregnant for almost 3 yrs now and still no luck until my mom's friend says that it's a big possibility that i'm pregnant. i started drinking anmum and try not to move much... i'm so careful coz i'm really hoping that we're finally having a baby....june 4 is my expected 1st day of my menstrual period and until today i've been delayed for 4 days but just this afternoon when i went to the ladies room there's a slight blood...i started feeling dizzy and i thought..."not now"...i think it's my period but up until now there is no blood....i'm still hoping that it's just a "spotting" and not my period....i'm so expecting to be finally pregnant that i can't accept that what i saw earlier is just spotting.....i really want to have a baby...so desperately i'd do anything just to get pregnant....i want my husband to be more happy...he already told me that with or without baby he still loves me and that will never change...he even told me that i married you because it's you that i love...it's you i want to spend the rest of my life with....hearing that makes my heart ache coz though that's his thoughts, for me i'm not complete if i can't give him a baby....its not complete....please Lord help me...

Catching Fire

Catching Fire is the 2nd book of The Hunger Games Trilogy. The story focuses on the Third Quarter Quell meaning another game of outwitting, outsmarting and killing but unlike the Hunger games mentioned in book 1, the quarter quell is composed of all the victors of each hunger games. The Quarter Quell takes place every 25 years and the previous one which was held 25 years ago, the winner is no other than Haymitch, Katniss & Peeta's mentor. Another difference is that 2 victors will be representing for each district, a boy and a girl, but only one will come out victor. Catching fire also focuses on the alliance of Katniss and Peeta(District12) with Finnick Odair(District4), Johanna Mason(District7), the morphlings(District6), Wiress & Beetee (District3)also known as Nuts & Volts. They all play a role that will keep this book much anticipated. How each of them are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, which means to bring down the Capitol with the help of the "Mockingjay" or "The Girl on Fire". Yes, it is Katniss, the symbol of freedom that soon will be shared to everyone who's willing to stand up to defy the Capitol. The arena on this book is also different since there's a new Head Gamemaker, but you'll be surprised on how this guy adds a twist on the Quarter Quell. There's so much to say but for a start I suggest you read this book because it's worth your time and money. The release of the 3rd book is on August 2010 with the title "The Mockingjay".

meeting a cute teddy bear

today i met a cute teddy bear, i know from the start that it would really be hard and painful to meet her....and what's even harder is that my family really seems very close to her and adores her to the point that i feel neglected....i'm thinking how can they not think of how i'd feel...my tears keep flowing finding the right answers to my questions...my heart feels like exploding into a million pieces...i have no one to talk to and its really hard....why am i being punished like this....why am i the only one hurting and its not even my fault.....can't i have a little happiness? just a little will do for me....why can't my husband and i have a baby ....why me?....i feel so lonely ...i feel like dying....i want to escape but where do i go....how can i face something so painful....all these questions and i feel like the answer is lost somewhere that i will never find...how can i make my husband not worry about me....i need help and so little help is at reach..it's even close to none.....please help me find back my smile....my hope.....myself......

Hunger Games

I've just finished listening to the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy(audiobook) and all I can say is...woooow....after reading the Harry Potter series and Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series I thought I will never like this type of story....no magic...no gods....but its more likely close to reality...Another thing i like about suzanne's writing is that it has this romance and at the same time action pack scenarios...there are some parts while i'm listening that i cried especially the scene where rou died and katniss covered her with flowers b4 she was lifted back to the capitol....ahhhh.....i also love the romantic scenes of peeta and katniss....how pita really loves her despite knowing that she maybe in love with gale.....i cant wait to listen to the 2nd book "catching fire" ...hope i won't be disappointed....
