Frustrated of Downloading Before Sunset's Best Scene, I Resorted To This!

Before Sunset

Scene VI – The Car Ride

Location notes: Quai Henri IV is located on the Right Bank just west of Pont d’Austerlitz.

Jesse: Glad somebody does. Now, this is better than the Metro, right?

Céline: Definitely!

(The camera cuts ahead of the car, leading it as it pulls onto the main road. The conversation continues.)

Céline: I was thinking...for me it's better I don't romanticize things as much anymore. I was suffering so much all the time. I still have lots of dreams, but they're not in regard to my love life. (Cut to interior of the car.) It doesn't make me sad, it's just the way it is.

Jesse: Is that why you're in a relationship with somebody who's never around?

Céline: Yes, obviously, I can't deal with the day to day life of a relationship. Yeah, we have, you know, this exciting time together and then he leaves, and I miss him, but at least I'm not dying inside. When someone is always around me, I'm like suffocating!

Jesse: No, wait, you just said that you need to love and be loved...

Céline: Yeah, but when I do it quickly makes me nauseous! It's a disaster... I mean I'm really happy only when I'm on my own. Even being alone...it's better than...sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely. It's not so easy for me to be all romantic. You start off that way and after you've been screwed over a few times...you...you…you forget about all your delusional ideas and you just take what comes into your life. That's not even true I haven't been...screwed over, I've just had too many blah relationships. They weren't mean, they cared for me, but... there were no real...connection or excitement. At least not from my side.

Jesse: God, I'm sorry, is it...is it really that bad? It's not, right?

Céline: (Shaking her head with eyes nearly watering.) You know...it's not even that. I was...I was fine, until I read your fucking book! It stirred shit up, you know? It reminded me how genuinely romantic I was, how I had so much hope in things, and now it's like...I don't believe in anything that relates to love. I don't feel things for people anymore. In a way...I put all my romanticism into that one night, and I was never able to feel all this again. Like...somehow this night took things away from me and...I expressed them to you, and you took them with you! It made me feel cold, like if love wasn't for me!

The Best Experience for 2011!!!

Yoooohoooooo!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo proooooud of this!!!!!!!!! 

My Travels for the Year 2011

    The year 2011 is the most travelled year for me. I will always be thankful for the people responsible for making my travels safe and memorable. I was able to put my mark from Luzon to Mindanao plus one international trip pa! I think it is fun to take a peek on those trips one by one...

Galera (January 30)

     

         This started it all. With me were my teamates Debbie David, Esmie Bayawa, Tere Domine, Dinah Salazar, Kristel Riano, Cj Mendoza, Ryan Presaldo and Chad Miclat. We wanted something outdoor and something cheap so Galera Getaway came into being!

This One Never Fails to Make Me Smile

Who Are You?

join me in one of my trips...

That Night

That night when my feet felt strange on a distant place

When a wish for a great night seemed to get blurred

I saw you standing, gauging, smiling.

You were a rugged type as they had described

And what do I think of rugged men?

I bought this pair at People Are People in Glorietta. I asked the store associate twice if the price was right. The display I saw was a size 39. Good thing Kuya looked for my size. 36.

Of Why This So Called Loyalty To Jollibee

      I remember taking a pledge before the year 2011 started. I promised not to eat at any fast food resto, particulary Jollibee because of the accumulated fats inside my belly. Suddenly on July 30, 2011,  I told myself, " What the heck! I want Jollibee Spaghetti right now." And so began my ever loyalty to Jollibee again. That morning, aside from the spaghetti, I also had my hot choco, Creamy Macaroni Soup and Regular Yum!

Wednesday Tambay

Date:                   October 5, 2011, Wednesday
Venue:                Tnoi's residence in Sulawesi Island (we don't know exactly where it is)
Event:                 Long-waited Tambay
Participants:        Rose, Tnoi, Ed and Cel

Details (my own version):

a week or two before  -everyone had agreed to meet on wed, oct 5, wed being the rest day of Tnoi and me. the last time I saw Tnoi was in May when we went to Coron.
5:00 - Tnoi texted me that he could not accompany me on surprised Nanay Lita's (Ed's mom) birthday celeb
7:30 - I texted and called Tnoi that he should accompany me because he said yes last night
8:00 - Tnoi called and said yes. He will wait at SM Calamba
9:30  - finally I got inside the Greenstar Bus
10:00  - I texted Tnoi that I was on my way to SM Calamba
10:00-ish  -Tnoi texted that he won't be with me that he would rather do the cleaning of his place since we will be coming over later for our tambay
          - I told Ed that it was just me alone coming to his mom's birthday.

Karen and Mom

       I love the voice of Karen Carpenters. Hers was the voice that didn’t need high notes just to prove a point of what a good voice quality is. I was influenced by my mom when it comes to liking the Carpenters songs. When she was still around, Karen’s songs were part of our family set up. She used to sing along with videoke whenever she could. My mom’s voice quality sometimes had given me goose bumps. I was in my early teen when we had that videoke player that she really had a fondness of. Love Me for What I Am, Just Fall In Love Again, There’s A Kind of Hush, You, Yesterday Once More, Solitaire, Only yesterday, Love Me for What I Am, I Won’t Last a Day Without You… these are just some of the songs my mom and Karen influenced me.

One Saturday

        Today is saturday and is my last day for work. As always, I am stuck here in my room. I'm bored. What a productive life I have. I had a dinner with Ed the other night. He told me that he and Tnoi met to watch a movie. Catching up on each other's life. Tnoi, according to him, learned to make sure that his rest days will be spent out productively. For example, when he started to notice that he has been into dvd movies for quite a time, he would get up and go out somewhere. Go out somewhere. Why can't I do that?

The Diferrent Faces of Raven

       I have two nephews. One is Khervin, he is 8. Then the other one is Raven, he is 5. I love them both. For today, I hope Khervin won't mind but today's blog will be about Raven. I was transferring some photos from my camera to my netbook when this picture caught me laughing hilariously....

LBM.

       The Korean Film Festival is now on-going at MOA. My Facebook account says that I will be attending the event. I love Korean films! They are thought-provoking, honest, unique, fresh and actors are so nice to look at. Same thing with their telenovelas. Wow. Was it 3 or 4 years ago when I found myself so hooked-up with Jang Geum and Kapitan Ming?? Kept calling Song Hye Kyo as Jessie because of Fullhouse. Fell in love with Gong Yoo in Coffee Prince. Watched Secret Garden on Youtube.For Korean films,top in my list is A Memory to Remember. It's a sure movie to give your heart a good cry. I also like Natalie. My Sassy Girl. 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant. Summer Time (if I have the translation right huh, this is the version of our own Scorpion Nights). And others ,english titles were forgotten. I have a terrible memory for remembering things. 

        So I told myself that I will be catching a 6:30pm schedule for My Dear Enemy (premise: a single woman at her 30's hunted her ex-boyfriend since he owed her $1000). But, something happened that made me cancelled the schedule. I got this LBM. Been going to bathroom for 3-4 times every two hours! Crap. Even until now I am still suffering from it. I can still feel the rumblings inside my tummy. I feel so drained. haays. 

My post it entry for September 21. I do write on post it
 basically about anything to keep me sane.

       I got my post it last night. Scribbled " LBM! LBM! GO AWAY!!!! then post it on my wall. grr!

Back at Home

                I don’t know why people back at home think that I am living a wealthy life here in Makati. They rarely see me. I don’t even talk to my neighbors anymore. I don’t remember boasting anything. There’s nothing to boast about. Does it mean that just because I am in this city, I should be saving more than enough? Well I don’t think so.  Crap. I do know how to spell D-E-B-T-S.  I guess the operative word is “negative”. Although, sometimes, they remind me of what should be my status:

Married. Financially stable. With kids. Normal.
