craziness about "miss you like crazy" (,")(",)

it was about two weeks ago when i first saw the trailer of the movie, "miss you like crazy" starred by two of the philippine's most popular actors and actresses in the movie industry, john lloyd cruz and bea alonzo. i'm not really a fan of them but i just like the themes of their projects... and of course, it's all about love. so, me and my long time friends since high school ( rose, liza and jinky) got an idea to watch the movie. as always, i had a great time with them despite the adventures that we've been through before we could finally sit and calm down. we just laughed at those experiences because what is more important for us that moment is to view the film by hook or by crook. Consequently , at the front row of the movie house, we found our seats with our heads positioned slightly upward towards the big, overwhelming wide screen in front of us. i just can't imagine on how we might handle it if we failed to buy the tickets beforehand. we might otherwise postpone the viewing until the last full show at 10:30 pm or decide to go for another schedule and the worst that could happen, we might not anymore watch it. I guess it's too much for us to bear if those things would happen. we seemed anxious at the start but smiles and laughter later bloomed as the excitement rises upon watching the movie. some of us even cried because a number of the scenes had touched us . perhaps, it was about at some point in our lives when we missed someone that we love but never had a chance to have a happy ending with that person. alternatively but plainly, it could also about bea and lloydie's styles in acting . those were effective enough to let us shed some tears.
the movie's plot is simple. the boy meets the girl in an unexpected instance. they got to know each other, discovers each other's differences and similarities and eventually, they fell in love. however, they were prophecized to be together eternally on feb 24, 2010. but the boy is not available for her because he had already someone else. so, they parted ways and after a few years, destiny drew them again together . despite the complications of their situations, they still managed to admit to themselves that they are crazy in love with each other after all those years. at the end, love ruled and they live happily ever after.
on the other hand, one of the quotes in the movie that really struck me is "in love, time is meaningless because it has its own time". i do believe in this idea. you can never hurry love. it moves mountain and it crosses rivers. no matter how bad the circumstances are, no matter how complicated life is and no matter how you deny it... it will go to you and hunt you down.
personally, i would always tell this to myself that its really wonderful to fall in love. so, the moment it hits you, make the most out of it to the person you love. you'll never know if you dont pay attention to it, you might blow your chance.

Pets, Pets and More Pets

My son wanted to have an early dinner before the sun comes down. So, I grab some cash to buy something to cook for him at the market which is a couple of meters away from our village. When I went back home, I heard little voices arguing about something they just found. The voices came from the opposite side of the road. I saw four little girls of about 7-9 year olds. One of them is riding a bike but was just following the others by slowly pedalling it. Afterwards, I noticed that the other girl had a small pink sling bag. It was opened and I was surprised to discover that what was inside in it is a kitten, an orange, chubby tabby kitten about a week old. Then, I realized that all the while, the girls were arguing on who among them is going to adopt the kitten. They found it at the park in our village as what I overheard on their conversation.

I remember that I still have to do something so, I just continued walking but I was laughing on my mind. It feels nostalgic as I said to myself because I cannot help but recall the same scenario when I was at their age. It refreshes a lot of memories in my childhood years. Those times when my family’s life was so simple then. We were living with tamed and untamed animals. I grew up loving the pets especially cats. As a little girl or even during my teenage years, there were times that I picked up stray cats and kittens along the road as I’m heading for home from school. I don’t mind touching dirty ragged poor animals along the streets. I would gently comfort them so that I could eventually bring them home. My mother was my biggest influence on that. She also loves animals. Our house was once like a zoo. A variety of creatures were there such as martinis birds, cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, roosters, monkey, and not to mention, the turtles. My brother also tried to tame fruit bats since he likes exotic animals.

Now, I understand how these experiences had taught me to be compassionate towards animals even at an early age. It helped me develop a positive regard towards pets. Pets just simply make me happy from the daily stressors or shortcomings. They don't fail to put a smile on my face, a smile generator as I would say.

Pets are like a family to me. It was never an instant that we dont have animals in our backyard. There's always a place for cats around, meowing or for dogs, barking. It is quite silly for others who doesn't like animals. They might even take it as odd but as for me, it is something that I can't live without just like a family member does.

Life, Struggle, Attitude and Choice

Life is a constant struggle
that is a natural flow of both disguise and flaunts… It comprises both bliss
and mourning… Your attitude towards life depends on how you view it.

How you appreciate, despise, succumb
or rebel to every phenomenon it brings to your reality is an innate response
from what you believe is the truth… However, no matter how hard life is-
there’s always a reason to celebrate its mystifying character, madness and
enormity…

Thus, either by choice or consequential
determination of possibility…life continues to add color to human existence…

Before I Was a Mom...

Before I was a mom…

I didn’t know how it feels to see another being coming out from me… hearing his first cry and seeing his first breaths

I didn’t know how it feels to feed a baby every 2 hours, wake up in the middle of the night just to sing a lullabye until the child succumbs to sleep…

I never experienced being peed while a child is on my lap…as he innocently plays with my hair and touches my face

Before I was a mom…

I never experienced smiling over simple joys that my child brings

I never thought of immunizations, trusted pediatrics and brands of vitamins

I didn’t know how it feels to watch a child trying to tie his shoe laces while his forehead begins to crinkle

I didn’t know how happy, fulfilling and accomplished I am as I watched my child grow and learn, answering his every query about the mysteries of life

Before I was a mom…

I didn’t know how it feels to worry over a sick child as he utters “mama” to me, responding to him with gentle touch

I never thought of safety as an issue for a playground, diners, beach, parks and even inside the house…

Before I was a mom…

I just think of my own sched, I didn’t noticed how time flies and regrets most often…

I just think of the food that I’ll eat for brunch or dinner, and not about the food that a child eats if it really nourishes him

I just think of what will I wear for the day or two and not of a child’s changing sizes on clothes

Before I was a mom…

I didn’t know how it feels to hate people who hated my child… ( rude playmates and people who hates children)

However, I learned that you can’t please everyone, there is always a time that someone will hate your child no matter how you shield him…So, being a mom challenges me to teach my child to be gentle yet strong…

I believe that being a mom teaches me about almost everything in life… things that I never learned before I was a mom

sometimes

sometimes people tend to know what their minds do not usually contemplate or see things even if their eyes are blinded …the truth is just hidden in the sleeves of the alliance…

sometimes people do things that are impossible from what they believe or murmurs sentiments not for themselves…
sometimes people tend to brag what they don’t have or give what they don't possess… could such prosocial acts are concealed under the blankets of self-presentation?
sometimes people see other people as what they are for and not what they are in the simplest ways or feel

sometimes people tend to sell ideas that cannot be grasp by the ordinary just to gain success over the expense of the latter

sometimes people are happy about the other’s defeat for this is only time they experience bliss. thus, savagely feasting for their kill...

sometimes…sometimes…its always "sometimes" …its safer to hear this way, i guess…

but there’s nothing more to argue about it…it doesn’t matter anymore… it happens regardless of the “whys” or the “hows”…

consciousness takes time to evolve when everything just ruined, when it has come to an end… well, it first runs in the veins of passiveness and its being concluded with a guilt…
a wonderful thing passes through unnoticeably and only realized when its vanishing
