Finally after years of saying I will watch this movie, I finally manage to last Saturday. Yeah, throw tomato at me T.T
And after years of promising myself, I finally hear the famous I hate you line that never fails to make my romantic cells activated, I love that line much more than what Harry said.

Watching When Harry met Sally at 21, I found myself having an inner debate, which only happens when I really like a romantic film. Usually, I don't like to watch a known Romantic films because I usually found them over rated. But this movie is really meant to be included on the timeless romantic films that our women should watch.

I like it. I really really like it :)

I love how they show the clips of old couples and their love stories.
How each short films shows different stories but they all found what love is.
I am laughing at myself when I realized that my hopeless romanticism side has been activated, and I do wish to find that kind of love someday. I am laughing silently because after a long time, I finally admit that I am still hoping for those kind of love.

If you could ask me what part of the story I like the most, it is the time when Harry and Sally became friends on their third meeting, the time when Harry realize that it's nice to have a woman friend. I was a bit surprised that the question regarding a man/woman platonic friendship is possible, shows here. Maybe the reason why I like this part is I am somehow affected by this. I think if I watched this movie last year or before, I will have a little different perspective. Those are the times when I solidify my stand that a platonic relationship is possible and this kind of story is really amazing. But since I grow a little, and the realization that it's not easy for two good friends to take a chance on love makes me appreciate this movie more.

It's funny that when I was a teenager and I was reading romantic books, I hate it that the leads waste their younger years not being lovers. I have this notion that you could feel love instantly, like what the fairy tales says. But after watching this movie, I realized that the years between their encounter is a great part of the story, it shows how they mature and how easy it is to connect with reality.

Even though I love Sally's I hate you line, I think I would want to hear a man say these words to me too:
"Well, how about this way? I love that you get cold when it's seventy one degrees out, 
I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich,
I love that you get a little crinkle above you nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts, 
I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes and 
I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. 
And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Years Eve.
 I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible." - Harry Burns

It was March 10 when I first get to know them.
Me and my friend gave a long overdue graduation treat to SRD personnels. We were eating foods from Amber's and having a great talk when I saw two Korean's holding two boxes of Krispy Kreme Donuts. Ate Gina introduce them to us, they are SooYoung and YouJin, and said that they are the new long term volunteer. I had a little chitchat with them over spaghetti, barbeque and pichi-pichi. I was actually shocked when Soo Young said that she knew me as the Farewell Party host when she was a short term volunteer at the Center, I used to that for a couple of times. It was 2010, and I am glad that she still remember me :)

I don't know why, but I feel really comfortable with them. It's like I meet a two new friends (which doesn't happen always), so I invited them to my 21st birthday celebration that night. I remember they are so excited then, and even more excited when I saw them walking to our house. My friends are surprised when they saw two unfamiliar face, to top of it, two pretty Korean face. I was actually worrying aswell because I don't know if they will enjoy this kind of party, but I'm glad that they had a good time with my joker friends.
It should be a secret but he's not here to scold me so I will admit that one of my friend have a crush on Youjin :P


Then April come, my grandmother dies. I was really touched when Ate Gina told me that SooYoung and Youjin keeps asking for me, and how I was. I saw genuinely concern in them that I was deeply moved. Here, I have two new friends who sincerely gave their condolences and look out for me, while my other friends didn't even bother to text me. That day when they visit with the SRD stuff, I told myself that who cares about those who don't give me time, I found two precious friends here, and I wouldn't mind it.

There are series of events that we spend together. Though it's just a small time, I was really glad that every time I go to the center, there are two smiling faces who always greets me, and have time to talk endlessly with me.

Today, these two fairies needed to go back to their fairyland, Korea. I feel funny that I wasn't that sad, because I hate goodbye's, the I realized that I am not sad because I know we can communicate through facebook and SooYoung will come back on December.
I don't spend my free time mostly at the Center, so I don't have the rights to said that they were the best long term volunteer, but for me they are the best :) They are fun to be with, and easy to talk to. Being with them for a day is like spending a day with my closest friends. We can talk about food, lalaki, Philippines and everything under the sun. My brother sometime asked me what are we talking about that we spend hours, and I just said nothing important actually.


SooYoung and Yoojin, Thank you for spending your 6 months in our little country. I know its very different from Korea, but I really do hope that you learned so many things here and enjoy how we do things. If there is a character that we Filipino's are really proud of, its the way we deal life with a Smile and a hope that tomorrow will be okay. I am glad that you even see how easily we celebrate things, no fancy clothing, no costly food, we are happy with a lots of home made food, a little videoke, some Tanduay Ice and many stories. I know many people already expresses their thank you to both of you, and adding this wouldn't hurt right? I remember one of my professor in University told me, that people who reach out and always willing to make sacrifices for other people are one rare diamond, something that you can't easily find because we are grown to believe that we should be higher to feel superior or achieve great things.In a world full of selfishness, and fake jewelries, it's nice to see two rare diamonds, smiling, talking and speaking little tagalog words at the center.

Hope to see you two again soon. YooJin, I wish you the best of luck in finding your true love, and I wish SooYoung an easy diet plan!:D

Today is G-Dragon's Birthday! Yii :D
And my brother went home sharing a very good news!
He passed his final academic project with an amazing grade. Yiiii!:D

I was on tumblr (as always) when I stumble upon this amazing video created by Coca-Cola.

Being a cry baby that I am, I suddenly cry on how amusing this is. Often times, we used security camera’s to see what happened on our properties during the time when we can’t monitor this. We always thinks it’s for our own security (pun the name (doh)), because we are living in an dangerous world so we are really taking precautions. But watching these clips makes us realize that the world is not that ugly, we still do a lot of crazy but good things. The good people are still out there, but the media all shows the negative side of the world. I remember I heard someone said that the media most of time shows the negative side, as a sample if we will look at the morning newspaper, you can read that about 70% is negative things like robbery and poverty. They failed to show that the world is still beautiful.

I always love Coca Cola’s advertisement and projects. I remember last Christmas, they have a project where they let some OFW comes back to the Philippines, all expenses paid. I was crying my eyes out because of the goodness it shows.

Hat’s off to Coca Cola for always showing how great the world is despite of all the negativity. Only few companies will do that J

Last week, my best friend told me that their family will move to Montalban, Rizal, a two hour drive from Manila, where we are currently living. I actually don’t know what to feel, of course sadness comes first.  We are living on the same vicinity for 9 years, which makes it easier for impromptu late night trips, tapsi dinner, weekend fangirling and a lot more. Her living on a far place will lessen those late night trips (that her boyfriend always nags us for). But at the same I am happy, how couldn’t I? We are both dreaming to leave this place one day, and this time their family will do it now. And it will be good for her brother aswell, our current place is not ideal to raise a child, especially if they are boys.

She told me that she doesn’t know what to feel she’s sad and relieve at the same time. And I totally understand her. She’s living her comfort zone, a place where she lived for 20 years to some province like place which is far from her friends and things she’s used to. Being afraid is really acceptable; even I scared a bit when she drops me this news. I can see how sad she is, that I know it is not the right time for me to show that I am afraid too. It’s has been like this ever since we treat each other as a best friend, once the other is down, we ensure that the other one will be her pillar and let her realize the good side of things.

Thinking ‘bout that I remember one event in high school where I received a letter written on a yellow paper in third year. Jona and I become best of friends on our third year in HS. Our classmate often tagged the both of us as the ‘nerds’ of the class. They often found us sitting on Science building class talking about dreams, chemistry related topics, planets and other science stuff. One thing that very common about the two of us is our love for science (She is now a registered Chemist and I am at the IT field). She gave me the letter a day after our Class Adviser announced our section next year. I didn’t expect to move to a higher section (from 3 to 2) but that what’s happened, and Jona being her wrote me a long letter saying her goodbye since I will go to another section, and it is possible that our friendship will also fade. During that time, I know that her biggest insecurity comes with friendship, and I wanted to show her that I will never replace her as my bestfriend. That time, I remember I nagged at her for writing those things because I will never leave her. It’s just a classroom away; I can still share lunch with them and do so many things with them. I know she didn’t believe me that time, but look at us now; we treat each other as our sister and our friendship still remain. The yellow letter that time is her goodbye to me, and knowing how hard headed I am. I can’t easily accept it and look where we are now.

I told her that what is happening now is the like day where she wrote the yellow letter and the day I read it. We are both afraid because of the distance, but we manage to stay together during those breakable times.  We both have jobs now, and can go wherever we want. We manage to reach Baguio alone, we can still have our ways to visit each other houses J

I do believe that our friendship is something that is destined to last forever. We are not just friends, we are now sisters. And this will be one of the changes that is bound to happen soon, I am afraid yes, but I am confident aswell that whatever happens, I can still see her at my back laughing at my crazy antics and odd ways of seeing this wonderful world.

It was raining really hard in Manila, which is the reason why so many area's are flooded.
I didn't go to work because the flood is really deep outside, we didn't have an internet connection and the electricity is not stable.
Aside from playing in the rain, and spending time with SRD family. I suddenly have the urge to re-organized Sundae (my reliable external hard drive).
After an hours of re-organizing and deleting some duplicate data. I finally manage to create 5 main category ^^

One important category is the Movie & Series part ^^

And since it was mine, a part of fangirling should be created separately :D

It wasnt completely organize ^^
The picture part & music is not yet okay, and I already set another time to do it.
After the re-organizing, the 58 GB free space turns 112 GB ^^ Amazing ne?

P.S. I hope that the rain will stop. There are many families here in the Philippines who needed help, and many people are stranded because of the flood that is higher than some houses.
Please pray for the Philippines
