Oscars is in few days, I would like to share with you my personal bets for this year.

Actor, I think it will be a tight battle between Edward Norton for Birdman or
J.K. Simmons for Whiplash. Norton did something for the film that made it quite immersive.
And Simmons, who was undoubtedly good in Whiplash, let me appreciate his
eccentric style, may it be in comedy or drama. </span></span></div>

I didn't like Boyhood at all, Arquette was able to deliver so well. Her acting
in Boyhood as a single mother who failed in two [or three] relationships but was able to raise two children made
the narrative of the story more truthful. It can also be Emma Stone for
Birdman. I don't know, but I think she wonderfully exemplified her other side
of artistry in the film.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For Best
Actor, it will definitely be Michael Keaton for Birdman. Birdman itself is a
different kind of narrative shot in an elliptical style (edit-free!) and produced an outcome
so overwhelming. Keaton's character in the movie added to its brilliance where
he really stood out and flashed a distinct kind of edge for the film. But it
can also be Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything. Though obviously the
film was not that good at all, Redmayne’s performance here was plausible given
that he portrayed a very challenging role. Moreover, Benedict Cumberbatch can
also take the Oscars home for The Imitation Game because The Imitation Game is
good enough to lead him there. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The past days, I was deep in reading short story collections
from Filipino writers like Jessica Zafra’s Twisted Travels and the Writing Home collection, both published by Anvil. I commenced the
year with this kind of reading pattern as I pledged for a more intimate
allegiance with the brilliant Filipino writers <i>(next in line, Miguel Syjuco’s
Ilustrado)</i>. Haha!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>PS: Just the
brilliant ones. hihi :D</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But tonight, I went on reading a Chuck Palahniuk tome
for the first time after weeks of stoppage (to give way to short stories and
poetry). And it was “Choke”. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Surprisingly, Palahniuk’s style of writing is something I never
had before. He has a way of narration of his own. He has his own words—that
which may deem complex or not, but still create a different kind of fluidity.
Not to mention his precepts; his one liners that can deliver you in muse, which
will inch you that he is just right.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Full of detailed descriptions and picturesque ideas, Choke may
fall to the out of the ordinary stories we used to digest; but the narration
from the speaker’s point of view, still full of metaphors and convictions, can
bring you in deep contemplation about surviving a weird tale and owning a new
perspective. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The book may baffle a mind but it can catch up right away
with the ideals and philosophies of a different person in a same world we live
in and in the process we will be convinced that it is indeed the reality.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Among the many investments
necessary for the young adults and the adults is real estate. Most especially
if someone is working in Metro Manila and prefers to go home in their hometowns
on weekends or every two weeks. Renting or leasing a place can be a good option
indeed; but in the long run, you might feel the need of having a place to call “your
own”.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is the reason why as early as
possible, people can already start up having the places of their own. Most
especially that at present, the Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. has already set
up and continues to build residential communities at different strategic
locations in the metro that will surely suit everyone’s needs in terms of
housing and budget!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Moreover, the Empire East has also
made the feel of their residential communities of easy access to Batangueños as
they have already opened their Empire East showroom last December! With this,
Batangueños who want to purchase new residential units or just in the phase of
looking for prospective homes do not necessarily have to go to Manila to experience
firsthand sample units of the Empire East residences.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The formal opening of the showroom
was held last December 11. This was attended by Atty. Anthony
Charlemagne Yu, President and CEO of Empire East Land Holdings Inc.; Bb.
Pilipinas titleholders Hannah Ruth Sison (Bb. Pilipinas 2<sup>nd</sup> Runner
Up 2014), MJ Lastimosa (Miss Universe Philippines 2014), Mary Anne Bianca
Guidotti (Bb. Pilipinas International 2014); Batangas City Vice Mayor Hon. Emilio
Francisco Berberabe Jr.; press people from Batangas City and other guests.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Millions of my kababayans had been greatly affected by the catastrophic mayhem brought about by the consecutive Typhoon Gener and the recent Monsoon Surge. It was said that the volume of rainfall of the monsoon surge had surpassed that of Bagyong Ondoy and consequently, its effects to people, crops and properties were worse than ever.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Seeing my fellowmen in this state of chaos and adversity, I cant help but acquire a part of the pain they are going through. And because of that I decided to spearhead a relief operation for the victims of the nature's wrath. Thanks to my fellows in the Junior Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines-BatStateU for their support and help. We are still accepting donations until tomorrow before directing the stuffs that will be collected to TV Patrol Southern Tagalog station. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Donations can be in kind or in monetary form. We would like to prioritize these stuffs for the in kind donations:</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ready to eat/easy to open canned or pouched goods/foods</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">clothes for men, women and babies</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">medicines</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">tarps or toldas</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">drinking water</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">plastic</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>A small act of charity is of a great help for the recovery of the victims of the flooding. </b>Batangas City is very blessed for not having the kind of chaos its nearby provinces had.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Since classes will resume tomorrow, I would like to share with you guys what we've done (together with my fellows in JIECEP-BatStateU or the Junior Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines) last summer, few weeks before public school </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">classes</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> officially commence. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So we've been at the Badjao community in Brgy. Malitam here in Batangas City to give some school supplies to Badjao students who are studying in elementary and high school levels. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So we were with Engr. Albertson Amante, one of the faculty members of the Electronics Engineering Dept. of the University. He was the sole pilot of this activity that is why I am really thankful to him! :D</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Since summer is almost over, I would like to share the only summer get-away I had this year. (poor me) Yeah, you heard it right, this is the single one. Since I was enrolled in a 9-unit summer class this academic year, I've got no time to have more summer adventures. Anyways, there are lots of years ahead of me to make up for this mayhem. lol. :D I just have to wish that the world won't end yet this 2012. :)</span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Moreover, I would also like to stress how beautiful the province of Batangas is. Pity those who have not seen the grandeur of our province. :D Also, to prove that the beaches in Batangas are really good in contrary to what former RP Vice President 'Kabayan' Noli de Castro broadcast in TV Patrol last April 2012; quoted, </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">"...galing akong Batangas. Di naman maganda ang beach" </i>Well Kabayan, I'm pretty sure you haven't been to Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. Or I should ask, are you sure you've been to Batangas?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Laiya in San Juan, Batangas is filled with numerous beach houses all offering a great stay in their white sand and crystal clear beaches. It is about two hour drive from Batangas City. So for those who cannot afford the distance and cost of Puerto Galera and Boracay, Laiya is sitting quietly for you! :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If last year we visited
Caleruega in Tagaytay for our family’s Visita Iglesia (you can see my entry
bout that <a href="http://louieflorentine.blogspot.com/2011/04/get-close-to-nature-get-closer-to-god.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>), this year, we’ve been to Marian Orchard at Brgy. Malabanan,
Balete, Batangas for our Holy Week practice. Balete, Batangas is a municipality adjacent
to Lipa City and it’s only about 30 minute drive from Batangas City.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

too perfect for solemn activities like praying, meditation and Visita Iglesia. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</span></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When Titanic was first shown in silver screen in 1997, I assume, we, the early 90s children, were just about four to seven years old way back then. And we are the ones who did not actually watch it in movie houses! Instead, we’ve seen Titanic for the first time either in a free TV premiere in a local TV station or by playing the bulky three VHS-tape set of the movie in our VHS players at home. And if your chance happens to be the latter, I hope you can still remember the red Ferrari VHS rewinder.</span></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The question is, why do we have to watch Titanic in 3D this April?</span></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The big deal is not how it will be shown once more—whether in 2D, 3D or in iMax. But the big deal here is that the reviewing of Titanic is a good chance for us, former kiddos, to feel what Titanic really has to offer and to bring us back the nostalgia now that we are in our bidding-gooddbye-teenhood years. </span></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal"><br />

And one of his ways in order to achieve this is to write the book “Builder of Dreams” which he dedicated to Ninoy and Cory because their nationalism has inspired him since 1986; when democracy was restored in the country. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The “Builder of Dreams” is <i>“about faith of common believers who choose to act rather than to preach, about citizens wanting to correct what has been corrupted rather than blame, about people who chose hope over cynicism by planting their dreams on the ground and learning to do it with others.” </i>Through this book, Tony Meloto had reflected what patriotism and good deeds are truly all about. The book embodied the hope of Filipinos who dreamt better times after living as second class citizens within 400 years. It definitely emerged the Filipino spirit and unleashed its greatness. The book also recognized the growing armies of Filipinos who vowed to bring the dream together.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

He narrated how his efforts created the very first Gawad Kalinga village. It transformed the ever known Bagong Silang in Caloocan City into a neighborhood that endowed new, safe, and attractive homes for the needy; unlike how it looked like before— where gangsters, young and old, and crimes sickened the place. He shared how his actions paved way for the rehabilitation of the youth who had led wayward lives. His movement blossomed; adults learned acceptable ways of earning money and the kids who were once crime-makers decided to go to school.<i> “There was no blueprint, no road map and no budget when we ventured into unknown territory, just a lot of faith, a strong intuition and the conscience to do what was good and right; the impulse to act and the instinct to survive.” </i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />

It identified proper recognition of who the real character is and who will support him on the play of his objective. <i>“The government is not our enemy; neither is business or rich landowners or, the criminals in the urban slums, and the rebels in the countryside. Poverty is our enemy, along with all the evils that cause it—the peaceful way to vanish this is to discover winning formula where rich and poor benefit from caring and sharing.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />

Sharing real life stories in the book also helped Meloto in his pursuance of his aspirations and beliefs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><br />

Stories that totter on the edge of something sticky, but pull us back in the real world.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

A surprise third-act-twist introducing a surprise tragedy weeping the romantic joy of <i>The Notebook, Message in a Bottle </i>and <i>A Walk To Remember. </i>A Nicholas Sparks masterpiece about love that aches sometimes but still continues to exist. A great work of art with the same semi-sweet sensibility.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

With similar comfort of his words, the broach of the ironies of life and the great life-lessons that can be earned.</span><br />

The common teenage matter, as of John’s case, rebellion, school problems, being troublesome and promiscuity—but the resolves in the latter and changed for good.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The term Parkour was coined by David Belle with his friend Hubert Kounde from the classical obstacle course method of military training proposed by Georges Herbert—<i>the parcours de combatant.</i> They also come-up with the term “Traceurs” as a term for Parkour enthusiasts which was originally from a slang French verb “tracer” meaning “to go fast.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Parkour requires consistent, disciplined training more on functional strength, physical conditioning, balance, creativity, fluidity, precision and looking beyond the traditional use of objects. Traceur’s training focuses on safety, longetivity, personal responsibility and self-improvement.

I told her that I want to watch Angel Locsin's In The Name of Love because I've been hearing a lot of positive reviews 'bout that one. </span><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Most of my friends have already watched that and they told me the story was nice and it offers something different. As you have noticed to my movie reviews, I am a sucker for romantic movies. But Aileen hesitated with that one because as she have said "<i>Ala, napanood ko na yan. Iba naman."</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Because she's the only girl in the group, and she was acting <i>like a boss :) </i>we all agreed to watch Kung Fu Panda 2 3D. Just like before, I lost the chance to watch the one I wanted to watch. So we bought the ticket, foods and everything was ready. We only have to wait for the showing time.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There was a free drink with every ticket purchased but the redeeming lane for it was in long queue. It was already 2:50 (<i>showing time</i>) and Kevin (<i>Aileen's ex, my friend</i>) was still in line. We entered the movie house at 3:02 and we're definitely late. The movie had already started.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As I took my seat, with 3D glasses on, I thought to myself "<i>You sure you're watching this one?</i>" because I do not like animated movies so much (Up and Toy Story are exceptions). Then I felt bored. I just focused with my popcorn and with my soda. Then after a while, I didn't noticed that I have already slept in Aileen's shoulder. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Imagine that! I slept to something I paid for. I supposed to be wide awake! That was not a hotel. HAHA. :)</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then the movie ended without a satisfaction feeling in myself. Maybe if I watched In the Name of Love, i'll be kind'a happy. So that was the day when I wasted 250 bucks. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Boys, can you remember that moment in your high school when you fell in love for a senior while you’re still in your freshman year? I’m sure most of us had experienced the thing. But more than this, did you pursue the feeling or just lest it slipped away?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 2009 film Love at First Hiccup starring <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_Taylor-Compton">Scout Taylor-Compton</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devon_Werkheiser">Devon Werkheiser</a> showed that love really knows no boundaries. It can be fashioned between two people regardless of their age, status and all. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The movie is a twist of funny romantic scheme which can bring us to the old memories of our teenage years. The movie reminded me of all the tender memories my high school gave me. Moreover, it also gave me the chance to recall how I was dumped by some and how my journey went through until I found the one I deserve to be with.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The story is quite usual; but glad to say, there are elements in the movie which are very dreamy and effective. The humour in it is effective for it made me do some hiccups in laughing. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(Kind’a weird, right?) </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Especially in the scenes of false sex between Anya (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Peter (Ken Luckey) and the condom dilemma of Victor (Devon Werkheiser). Furthermore, symbolisms used in the film are very creative—like the cactus, video camera and the hiccup itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The movie also posed some important reminders for teenagers. That they should always be ready for whatever thing that might happen because accidental things can lead us to something we don’t deserve to have right now. It also highlights fame and riches will never always cause bringing us the things we want. </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Indeed, we are all aficionados of movies which we can relate into. Because of this, most of us can surely click with this Thai movie “A </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Crazy Little Called Love (First Love</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">).”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span><i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Crazy Little Thing Called Love </span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">is a typical high school love story-themed movie but with a heartfelt deepness that made the film more stirring and fine. The story of four youngsters in their journey of experiencing their teenage romance, with emphasis on </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">P-Nam</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">’s (</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimchanok_Luewisetpaiboon">Pimchanok Luewisetpaiboon</a>)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, is but comical and entertaining. With different genres in one movie, this one had proved that love is not skin-deep; rather, it goes beyond senses’ perception.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"></span>Moreover, this movie attested that first love/true love would not always be a barrier on playing our responsibilities and achieving our goals (</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in this case, pursuing education and family responsibilities</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">). Thus, like what </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">P’Nam</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> did, it can be an effective avenue on becoming the better “us” and can serve as an inspiration on attaining our aims and trance.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The movie also underscored that we should not always be weaken by our fears. Facing them is more of an obligation. And by doing so opens more rewards. This was shown when </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">P’Shone</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Maurer">Mario Maurer</a>) took the risk of taking the penalty kick— a big fear for him which was caused by his father’s failure.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another one is that this movie showed that waiting for the “right one” will lead us on having the “best one.” That real love waits and rushing out things might cause a perfect mess. Fate didn’t let P’Nam and </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">P’Shon </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to be together on their early ages, but they become on the perfect time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All in all, this movie escorted its viewers to the world were teenage dreams were made, crafted and fulfilled. This one is a must to watch, not only to experience the shiver and tingle of a quirky romance, but also to stand as a moral and guide for teenagers’ plight. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

This activity remembers the final hours of Jesus; this is also a devotion commemorating the Passion.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In our family, the stations of the cross is a kind of a "must-thing" which have to be done every year. It's more of a tradition and definitely became a routine in the clan. It is our own way of showing repentance and sacrifice; which I believe, are the sole schemes of Lenten Season.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year, we're lucky to do the stations of the cross at Caleruega. This is a house of prayer and renewal located at Nasugbu, Batangas. With almost one and a half hour road drive from Batangas City, one can reach the cool, atmospheric Barangay Kaylaway, Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas where Caleruega is located. This place is perfect for retreats, recollections, prayer workshops, children/youth camps, marriage and family celebration venue, seminars, and agricultural, environmental and camaraderie-promoting activities. </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I cant believe that next academic year, I'll be on my third year in the Engineering course. My option of taking it up is now or never, everything of uncertainty, wasnt sure if it's for me or not. My thing is that, I'll make a try and if it works, then go on. Never had I thought that I can make it this slight-far. And look where I am now! But I came this through not only because of my own efforts; not only of my parents', but also because of the effort and inspiration imparted to me by those "common strangers." Those people who always helped me in most of my setbacks for the past two years. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Maybe this can serve as my material of appreciation for each and everyone of them. For treating me rightly, and if not, for making me learn my lessons. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well I'm talking about my classmates for the past two years being on the General Engineering course. For others, the engineer-hopefuls; but for me, the future engineers. They are the ones who stood by my side for every sunrise and goodbyes, and who never looked at me as how I became, but to how I really am. These are the "common strangers." The strangers whom I had never been afraid of talking to. The strangers who not only helped me, but also inspired me, taught me life lessons, brought me to an infinite bliss, and loved me. Well, "loved" is not a good term, because if not for all, then some, may continue to love me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am so lucky meeting these people and spending two academic years with them. Our journey to being what we want to be is still quite far.Two years is only the beginning. More brain whacking exams to take and more cups of coffee to drink and to be with while studying until dawn. More group study thingy and more stressful days and nights. More unexpected things that might, and eventually, happen. But if to face with a curve on the face, just like what we did, things will not only be accomplished, but will be successfully done. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To my dearest friends and classmates, Thank you, good luck, and God bless us all.</span></i></div><br />
