Flipped: Finding more about someone is like finding a buried treasure

To begin with, I was never fond of love stories... EVER.... but this is an exception! I loved the movie that it made my heart Flipped! It's nostalgic and I kind of missed seeing people as sensitive to other people's feelings as the people here in the story...
Talk about something everyone has lost nowadays. I think people who are selfish needed to learn so many things from this movie. Love is not a 5 minute talk or a text message affair....


To learn how to love a person, after getting to know who they really are is supposed to be what love really is... It tramples the culture of touch and go love affair, objectifying people and not loving them as a person.
Someday, when I get to find someone I could give my devotion to.... I hope he will do something grand for me, like planting a sycamore tree for me too, i mean who will be thoughtful enough to look into my innermost thoughts and try to make me smile ^__^...

I do like someone who'd make the effort for me... After all, I do believe that what we give, will always come back to you. So I promise to give love whatever the cost! :D

To date, I only meet guys who fan their egos when they try to win me over. I don't like that... I want to be with someone who drink life in... someone who doesn't need other people to validate them. Someone who embraces life because he relishes every moment.... that kind of enthusiasm somehow draws me in. Too bad, most people I meet nowadays are all pretentious... I don't know. I want to preserve my authenticity... and I hope I'll find someone who's equally real


Juli Baker is definitely the girl who has substance. The kind of girl foolish guys overlook in favor of girls who are all show and has no substance. She is different because although she is obsessed with Bryce, the boy with those dazzling eyes, she still had her individuality intact.

She is a real person. Someone who was never pretentious. She had put Bryce on a pedestal, pursuing what was not at all there, in the end, the pursuit somehow started to lose its value, and the pursuer was pursued.


Although she was not at first valued for who she is by other people, her self respect and reason won him over.

She is unique and real, and not all girls have that strength of character and brilliance that Juli Baker showed. She maintained her individuality. Her zest and enthusiasm for life was what helped her to recognize people for who they were. She was raised in a loving family, that is why she too could only give what was given her. Unfortunately, not all people could appreciate it for they were all pretentious and materialistic.

Brilliant acting of the two stars who played Juli and Bryce... I think they were soooo right for their parts. Too bad this movie didn't come out in theaters. I give it 5 stars! :D

Far Away

Wherever I go
Far away and anywhere
Time after time you always shine
Through dark of night calling after me

And wherever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high beyond the sky
Through stormy night lifting me above

No need to Rush

No need to rush things. What is most needed now is to focus on what is important. Time is of essence, that is why there is no time for mediocrity.

Most of the time I am faced with a dilemma of compromising my principles just so I could have fleeting gratification.... but good thing, my sanity got the better of me.

A person's principle is what he acquired over the years of his existence on Earth, what determines who he is are the principles and beliefs he retained in his journey. The decision making is quite crucial, and it tells a lot about a person about his choices. I am happy, that although my principles are a little bit outdated, I am happy to keep my stand. People can laugh at me for being a little old-fashioned, but this is me. What's important is that I could look at the mirror with a clear conscience.

I can cry about it, but in the end, I am still happy because I stood for what is right. I love my life, and I do hope I am strong enough to withstand any storm and trials that will come my way... no compromising of my principles! Go Go Go!

Work on your Salvation with Fear and Trembling...

Ephesians 6:11-17

11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.12For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.13 Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.14 So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,15 and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.



Just saw the movie THE RITE tonight.
It was an Exorcism story.... I was taken aback and was deeply disturbed. I think I have encountered a situation like that. When I was a child, I didn't know better. Perhaps it was our customary recitation of the Holy Rosary that led us to the path to Light... way back, we were not fully aware of the troubles that we were in. We had spiritual warfare and belief in God was so so-so.

I still had mixed emotions as I watched the film, but deep down, I know my spiritual journey is different from a lot of people. I couldn't even begin the story on how i believe what I believe now. DEVILS do Exist, and so does God.

In the movie, the charm worn by the possessed victims played a vital role. It was repeatedly stressed throughout the movie. I think they forgot to explain why they kept on highlighting the charm. The charm is used most of the time for occult practices, and anyone who uses it will be susceptible to demonic possessions. So the next time people buy things, they have to know its origin to make sure it wasn't used for any kind of occult practices.

The Devil is cunning.... they fool people into not believing them so that it would be easy for them to go around playing with people.

I don't know if I am biased... I just want to be vigilant for my own sake. As I am writing this, I am fully aware of my role as a person who understand what it means to be a Catholic. And with that, I think I will live as one... I hope I can make my God proud of me, as I once said strongly in my dream. Such bold words... I can't forget it. I hope I have the will and the capacity to live it through.

From this point on, the amazing journey begins.... Help me God!

Be A Voice in the Society

"Be A voice in the Society"

That's what the homily was about when I attended the first Friday Mass this February 4, 2011.

Another sign for me.... gosh I really needed to execute my task already. I admit I am a little scared and a little lost... but I will be guided accordingly.

God help me! This is it. The defining moments of my life!

BRING IT ON!!! ^____________^

Make the World Better! :)

Because he himself was tested through what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. – Hebrews 2:18

Yeah, cheesy as it may sound, but I am positive to want to make this world a better place to live in. I don't know, I just feel so energized at the thought of making people feel better.... especially the oppressed.

I have been through a lot of my own difficulties of my own in life, and seeing other people go through difficult times really troubles me.

I guess this is what people call "Superhero COMPLEX?" :D....
I admit, I can't do everything... but I just can't let things stay miserable when it's in my power to help. The downside there though, is when I encounter people who just wanted to take advantage of my help... screw them! I wanna give a good example... but they're just cheapos.. so I try not to associate with the likes of them.

Anyhow, let's make this world a whole lot better... be cool and help others be cool and as awesome as we are :D
