Two amazing books in ONE amazing year. (two short book reviews in one.)

My bestfriend finally has a boyfriend. FYI, her very first after her first love “unwillingly” dumped her. She was, of course, excited about the whole boyfriend thingy and I understand it, it’s her first afterall. So we’re all excited as well. But the first meeting was unpleasant. And as I observe her and the guy, I little by little get irritated because their connection were odd and very…. awkward. I mean the guy was sooooo hyper. So hyper it’s getting on my nerves already. He’s not funny, he’s weird and not really interesting. There’s something I don’t really approve about the way he joke, the way he talked with us and with my bestfriend… He’s so ABnormal and I dislike it. He’s so pilosopo! Like he’s trying to talked like Vice Ganda and it’s the worst ever!!!!!!! He’s really trying very hard and he’s really the opposite of my bestfriend’s first love!!! The fact that he’s not funny on his “own natural way” turns me off. I wish he’s just silent or observant before he reveal his true “color” And the unforgivable on top of it was that, my bestfriend acts like she’s so proud of her boyfriend that there was an incident where she’s screaming, “Bakit mo naman ni reveal sa BOYFRIENDKO! hindi ko na nga sinasabi sa BOYFRIENDKO! blahblahblah eklaver BOYFRIEND KO!”

Okay, I get it. You’re too excited because it’s new and amazing. But will please act normal and slow down your hyperness before I knock you both on the head? MYGAAAD IT’S EMBARRASSING!

And whenever we talked, she’s always, boyfriend this and boyfriend that, boyfriend this, that boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend. Can’t she see I’m not INTERESTED? I’m not, and she can figure it out. But she just keep on talking about him and her and their moments anyway.

DEEP SIGHED. Dear Lord, forgive me for betraying my bestfriend by writing my rants about her here. Am I backstabbing her with my fingers and keyboard? I don’t think so. I just don’t …. approve her relationship with that guy. That’s all.

Uhm, this post wasn’t all about my rant to my very thrilled bestfriend having a boyfriend but about my endless love for books. If I wasn’t blessed for reading two amazing books in one year, then tell me will there be a third book?

One Day by David Nicholls and Before ever after by Samantha Sotto. I’ll tell no words. I was sweep away by this two amazing books. You should read, you should read. And don’t tell me I’m a sucker for great love stories because these two books are far different from your y’know, usual romance pocketbooks.

Dex and Em, Max and Shelley.

My God, I can’t really recover. I just finished Before ever after this afternoon and I’m soooo inspired. (Sooo inspired that I’m planning to write my thing too. But ideas are too much to handle that it made me scared coz too much excitement will lead to dismay) And the fact that a fellow Filipina is the author made me so proud of being an aspiring Filipino writer. I finished One Day a month ago and till now, I haven’t actually recovered and I can still remember the moments where I was lying in my folding bed and crying because I’m so touched of the story. And mind you, it’s all true. It’s like it happened to me or like I’m experiencing it at the moment. There were too many questions lingered in my mind and when that happens, I know I’m reading a great book.

Max and Shelley’s adventure was magical and amazing. Basilisk and Baked eggs and Max calling Shelley, ”luv” moves me. And that time when Shelley thought Sari was the new woman in Max’s life made me cry! Because I can totally feel her undying love and faith for him!!!! And the ending surprised me to the bones. You should really grab a copy now! After I read the book I found myself wondering who will be my before,ever and after…

Sorry, I can’t really make a good review for the two. 

But swear, you won’t regret it.

BBBBYYYYYYYOOOOOOONG.

Amusement Parks amazes me.

Sobrang na gi guilty ako.

Na guilty ako noong nagpunta ako ng Showtime.

Na guilty ako noong nagpunta ako ng concert ng 2ne1.

Pero hindi kasing guilty nung magpunta ako ng EK nong wednesday lang. MY FATHER’S MONEY WAS GOOONNNEEE.

Anyway, I’ll be replacing it all after I graduate which will be in March next year.

I’m soooo soooo sooooo happy that after nineteen years I finally saw Enchanted Kingdom in person. Hindi kase ako pinapasama noong elem at highschool ako sa field trips kahit nung pumunta yung mga pinsan ko don dati. it’s all because of her. -___-

Anyway, I really really love walking inside amusements parks, i love sniffing the air, and I love checking out good looking boys lol. It’s really really fun! Sobrang masaya ako. The weather is nice. Too hot nga lang nung tanghali. At maaga kaming nakarating kaya medyo konti palang yung pila nung tanghali.

Lahat sinakyan namin maliban sa swan lake, wheel of fate and up up and away. Aish. Kulang na sa time e. Mas mahaba pa yung oras na ipinila namin nung mga hapon na kesa sa oras na sinakay namin.

Although I enjoyed the rides I’m not sure if I’ll ride Anchor’s away, Tower Ride and Space Shuttle again. Ghaaaad. I’ve got a massive headache the day after plus we roam around manila, makati and quezon city for submitting resumes to different hotels the day after that’s why I throw up and I feel sucky. Good thing my father was there to comfort while I barf in front of our neighborhood lol.

What am I saying. I don’t even know if my grammar is wrong but I don’t care because I’m in a hurry.

I can wait to graduate and work on TV right after. WHAAAAT.

HRM to TV staff? WHAT’S THE FREAKIN CONNECTION.?

Anyway, I got my grades and I’m sooo thankful that finally, I’m sure that I’ll be walking on stage on March. *still crossing my fingers* and yah, that’s all. And I passed our in house interview I even got a compliment from our professors. Ang galing ko daw sa interview. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiih sarap lang

Yah, I’m very random. That’s all. It’s boring. Everything’s boring. We want OJT now!

Oh, I was with my two friends and we’re just a trio in EK. It’s kinda sad to  imagine but we had a good good time.

Devil wears Prada (MOVIE REVIEW)

Our professor last semester gave us a paper work for the 5% research in his subject. He made us watch Devil wears Prada and write a reaction paper. I was really surprise that I didn’t paid much attention when it was first release. It’s soooooooooooo amazing movie! I can totally relate. Here it goes.

—

I almost forgot that there are actually some worthy films like this one because I’ve notice that movies these days are all about love, love and love. Of course, if you don’t put a love story in a film, it’s like you forgot to put cheese on your pizza. Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of love stories especially those where I can relate.

But this is something new.  I am absolutely into life changing, reality opening and heartfelt films and from the moment I saw the first scenes I actually told myself, “Ah I must be crazy not giving myself a chance to see this movie.”

Andrea Sachs or Andy was an undergraduate student of Journalism. A smart, fast learner and hard working young lady who wanted a job and applied for being an assistant of the superior editor in chief of the famous fashion magazine Runway. Not knowing that it’s the beginning of hell in her life.

She had to do ridiculous tasks Miranda, the scary dragon lady also known as her boss, commands. And she has to endure all the pain of walking and running around the whole city with numerous designer paper bags in her hands. She has to do task that are IMPOSIBBLE but she have to make it possible. She has to be the most flexible assistant of Miranda’s assistant. And she has to ditch her boyfriend’s birthday just because her boss told her to do last-minute demands.

She learned patience at its peak, she learned to be strong and reality isn’t about rainbows and butterflies. She also discovered that she can wear designer clothes and actually pulled it off. There are so many things she learnt. She begins to form a friendship between the Fashion Director and Miranda’s real assistant Emily. And she also made a connection to the famous writer for New York magazine.

I can actually picture myself as Andy, the naïve girl who gradually realized that she had to improve her looks and skills for her job. She is after all in a Fashion Industry which requires physical beauty and somehow overlooked inner beauty of every human.

As the day goes by she little by little impressed her boss by doing the impossible stuffs, the problems started to build up. Her boyfriend confronted her that she’s not the old Andy he knows and that she became a Runway girl who only cares for physical aspects and Miranda told her to tell Emily that she’ll replace her for Paris.

She accepted the Paris offer and now she slowly find out a lot of shocking truth in the whole fashion world and began to think about how in the world she let herself got into this messy, and chaotic and unfair world? She didn’t want to hurt anybody else and she doesn’t want to be changed.

She sticks onto her principles and that is what she’ll do. After Miranda told her all of the things she need to know, she showed her boss that NOT everyone wants to be a part of Miranda’s world. She went into different direction, not following her boss and start all over again by picking up the broken pieces of the old Andy.

This film just opened the eyes of beginners in the real industry that everything needs effort, everyone has to be hard working, what really await you, what problems and issues you may encounter and how to put off all your efforts but never, never change your principles and if you think you are just doing it because of the JOB not for passion, start asking yourself, why continue?

It is a moving, wonderful, amazing and funniest film I’ve ever seen. Definitely gonna miss half of your life because it could change you.

It ain’t even cool!!!!!!!

I am so pissed at everything right now. how did my day turned out so bad? My friends, the things around me, those hotel managers who don’t even give a fck on my resume, those fats that’s just so hard to dissolve and a STUPID FREAKING VIDEO THAT MADE MY HEART BEAT 10x FASTER THAN NORMAL and the story of my annoying classmate about they saw darwin at trinoma today.

EVERYTHING IS JUST SO ANNOYING!!!!!! even my wrong grammars!!!!

SHE IS SO ANNOYING! SHE EVEN GOT THE NERVES TO COMMENT ON MY STATUS!!! GIRL, have some sensitivity!! I hate you!!!!!

I’M SO STRESS!!!

I want Manila Pen or Makati Shang or Holiday Inn but I guess all I want is a decent hotel!!!! PLEASE OJT WE NEED YOU AS SOON AS FREAKIN POSSIBLE!

We could have had it all.

we only have ONE DAY left. I know we’ll still see each other, maybe in seminar or maybe in graduation. but still the bond wasn’t that great anymore. and it’s sad.

I feel so empty. Why do I feel this way. It’s hard. hard. hard.

Don’t say goodbye. Not yet, please.

Hi.

I know it’s unbelievable but it’s the reality. HOPEFULLY, next week will be the last week. And it’s crazy. I KNOW!!!! It’s Crazy, unbelievable, and it’s just… it’s too much.

I can’t even.

I can’t talk about things right now. I don’t want to jinx everything.

I just want to go with the flow because right now, it’s sad and confusing.

We lost the moment.

Medyo yumanig yung mundo ko sa nangyari pero bumalik na ulit ako sa dati. Talagang paninindigan ko ng wala na.

Hindi ko malaman kung anong nangyari sa taong yun at parang nahipan ata ni Pedring. Nabuang ata ang lolo niyo at ginugulo na naman ang payapa at maaliwalas na mundo ko kahit na minsan ay nagiging black and white ang buhay ko at least I’m frrrrrreeeeee.

Pero may mga nangyaring medyo nayanig nga ang payapa kong buhay.
