Happy Christmas!

source This is actually a late Christmas post since I was out of town during Christmas and I want to be offline for awhile. I wanted to greet everyone a Happy Christmas!! I hope your holiday is full of fun and happiness with your loved ones. I celebrated my Christmas in my hometown, with my family, nieces and little brother. We had fun during dinner but everyone's tired after the mass so they opted to sleep early around 12am. I was tired and sleepy too while waiting for my boypran's text so I decided to read the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (i might post a review), to remind myself that I have to stay awake. I had a wonderful time reading the book, it was really diverting. Finally, when my boypran greeted me through a call, it was time for me to sleep.  He wants to celebrate Christmas with me but there are firecrackers everywhere and it's dangerous for him to travel, so I told him to stay put. I felt bad when he told me that he really wanted to go to m

Cast: Logan Lerman ,   Emma Watson   and   Ezra Miller Director and Writer: Stephen Chbosky Genre: Drama/Romance Setting: 1991-1992 school year source I have plans long ago to read this book however I was busy hoarding other books. Hehe. Finally I watched this movie and I can’t even describe an adjective for this. The story is about a young lad Charlie. He is a freshman and describes his daily activities in school but he wrote it on a private diary. He’s having a hard time coping up with his other classmates and didn’t even have a single friend on the 1 st day. He is an introvert, reserve and quiet young boy. He was a smart kid though; he loves literature and has good taste on music. Charlie met two seniors Patrick and her step-sister Sam. Sam and Patrick were his best buddies during his freshman year. Charlie experienced his 1 st date, 1 st kiss and his 1 st experienced on drugs and drinking. He has a wonderful and supportive family. He enjoys going out with

Pitch Perfect: Get Pitch Slapped

Image
source Ever since I love musical movies but this is by far the great movie this year. Pitch Perfect plot is all about an all-girls a-capella group The Bellas at Barden University. They failed to win the finals so they forced to regroup and recruit some freshmen’s.  Beca played by Anna Kendrick, is one of their new recruit. She’s an aspiring DJ, she can create mashup songs very well, and that’s kinda awesome.  I can’t believe she can sing so well too. She was discovered by one of the members in the bathroom while she was singing Titanium by David Guetta.  However, something is wrong with the Bellas aca performance and    Beca's  great challenge is how to set them apart from other a-capella groups to finally win the finals. This is actually the greatest movie ever this year. It has an excellent arrangement of songs. The voices are powerful and not to mention this is a fun movie. I have big laughs while watching this especially the audition part. Here's Beca's

Cloudy days don't last forever

Yesterday the Typhoon Pablo (international name BOPHA) hits CDO, the city where I was currently living. Not just CDO but all over Mindanao and Visayas. Its the 16th storm here in our country already. The aftermath of the storm is not the same as Sendong since people are more aware that a super typhoon is coming. People are more ready and evacuated already knowing that this storm will hit hard. I'm happy knowing that  there are zero casualties here in CDO however houses were flooded near the river.  The storm brought heavy rain and strong wind. Good thing my phone batteries are full, I can still contact my friends and loved ones however the signal is choppy. I managed to took a photo that time. heavy rain outside, the roof in our store took flight because of the strong wind. I took these photos after the storm.
