Facts for Teenagers

There's this new afternoon TV show entitled "Bagito" which means 'Teenage Boy' in English that portraits a very important message to teenagers. The lead actor impregnated his girlfriend and they are still in high school. The girlfriend already gave birth and he is just too confuse what to feel.

His parents are beginning to feel anxious too on what's going to happen to them. His girlfriend also talked to him about possibilities that they may not really end up together in the end.

Personally, I think it's very educational. Teenagers nowadays has problem in self-control. Influence by peers and media like internet and movies. Their curiousity is triggered out from all those sources and couldn't help but explore. With lack of parent's guidance, they turn theirselves into teenage pregnancy.

This show will hopefully convey a message to teenagers to be responsible with their actions.

Movie Review: IF I STAY

‘Love is a bitch’ – the only line that echoed and echoed in my head after watching this movie. Chloe Grace Moretz as Mia is so much prettier in this movie than when she played as Carrie. The story revolves around this girl who is so family oriented and musically inclined. Until she met the love of her life Adam played by Jamie Blackley. Despite their opposite taste in music their love for each other kept them glued.

But fate changed it all when Mia and her family got into a car accident. Mia’s parents and younger brother died while her soul wanders in the hospital seeing everyone grieve on her lost loved ones and to her own lifeless body attached to equipment to keep her breathing. She’s caught in between life and death and whether she should stay…

She would have eventually said goodbye believing that there’s no one else to live by when Adam sat beside her hospital bed and let her listen to her piece when she auditioned at Julliard (finest music school in NY). Her soul came back to watch Adam and the music…Adam pulled out the envelope from Julliard that she made it to the admission. With Adam’s promise that he will do anything for her and that she is his home…She opened her eyes back to life.

It’s heavenly. If you are someone who believes in the power of true love then you should find time to watch it. :D

Riding in Big Bus

Travelling from one region to another is part of my growing up. When we transferred residence to the northern part of Mindanao, we’d travel back to my parent’s hometown twice or thrice in a year. When my parents still had that low income, we did the cutting trip to save. Until I guess they recovered so we ride in an air-conditioned bus. Until I got married and had two kids, our expenses got doubled each year with our bus travels. 

Until two years ago, my parents acquired a van. It’s big enough to accommodate us all. Since then our traveling life became more comfortable. We can stop to rest and dine anytime. We can bring as many stuff as we want. 

But there are things I miss in long commute with big bus. It just brought to my memory again when it’s a big bus that took me back to the city from our hometown. It feels like flying. When you sit at the window side and you look down below, you’d feel like being at the top of all. When you see strangers…old people, teenagers, foreigners, professionals. It gave me a glimpse on the diversity of humanity. Or even the bus drivers and conductors. I always wonder how it would be without them. Who will take all those passengers to their family to celebrate every occasion? 

The most unforgettable experience I had though in riding the big bus though was when I left my paper dolls. My mother insisted that I keep them but I was too stubborn so I continued to play anyway. Until I tied it at the handle bars so I can take a nap. But it slipped from my head when suddenly my mother grabbed me because we already arrived at our destination. It broke my young heart. Haha!

Don't Hide Your Face if You Got Fat

Everything is a choice. Where we are now and what we are now is out of choices in the past. It's a chain of effects. You decide to drop from college and be a potato couch, you wake up one morning your parents are gone and you are left without penny. The same way when you eat more than you can chew.

Overeating is so difficult to control as self-discipline is too hard to master. Trust me, I've been there. After giving birth to my first and third child...I was so fat. I suffered from having the lowest self-esteem. Yes I'd cover my face whenever I go out with so many people around. But I was determined to lose weight. I hit the gym and went straight in dieting.

Sad to say, not everyone is alike. I saw a girl riding in the public vehicle earlier when me and the kids were on our way home...the moment she went down from the multicab, she just vowed her head. I couldn't help but stared. She is overweight and underheight. It got me so concerned on what could have happen that she ended up that big.

Honestly, there's a Food Psychology now. People in my same wavelength are longing to help fight obesity. It is in my hope that someday those who took their weight for granted will learn to chin up and say, 'I will shed all these body fats'. I know there are a lot out there who are with me.

Let's do this! :D

"VIDEO GAMES are GOOD FOR CHILDREN (?)"

Even my eyes cannot believe upon reading the title. But when I started to dig in I understood the whole point. 

A study spearheaded by Psychologist Andrew Przybylski of Oxford Internet Institute aimed to know deeper the effects of gaming among children. The researchers gathered data from 5,000 children from ages 10-15 years old and asked them questions related to their social, and their general satisfaction in life. 

After the data tabulation, it appeared that those who play three hours and more are missing out a big part of their social skills thus more grumpy and irritable. While those who spend moderate time in gaming are jauntier. Although the result of the study did not really imply nor promote that video gaming can be good for children...it's only message is MODERATION is still the key. ;)

"Here's to A GRATEFUL SUNDAY!"

Coming from a good friend who suggested that I write a diary of my joy everyday so when I feel sad I'd be able to review it...then hopefully it will change my mood. As a starter, here are the things I am so grateful for today;


> hubby's parents came to spend lunch with us and brought more food to extend my birthday celebration. What they had in hand were more than I expected.
> another friend came over and bought ice cream. I am so bloated today due to endless eating. 
> I realized how cheap but grand my 32nd Birthday was. I was so honest about getting nothing from my bonus but GOD sent me angels and donations without even asking for it.
> finally cleaned off our laundry box and having this amazing washing machine really saves effort and energy.
> hubby and I exchanged our sincere apologies... (wink)

You may want to try this too...

I Am Officially 32!

Oh well...age is just a number. Being 32 for real is no joke. I'd say I've been through hell. Did a lot of stupid things. Took risk one can ever imagine. Like riding in a banana boat and thrown away in the deep blue ocean. Life is so good with a formula of contemplation, condemnation, appreciation, euphoria, and the hopes of dreams coming true.

At this stage, I noticed myself as being more responsible. More of a thinker and doer than before. There are days when I cannot manage my temper but the one thing I tried to delete from my personality, is being a verbal attacker. It is so poisonous in me and reading all the Bible passages once a day really helps me. The holy spirit blocks my way when there is an attempt in my system to bring out those negative thoughts.

God thank you for making me a better person. Thank you for this life of mine you extended. I only got one simple wish for my day...that you will grant my heart's desire specifically for next year. I am giving you back the honor and glory. Amen.

Seeing Through the Eyes of A Grieving Mom

Grief is the most devastating emotion a human could feel. It is too strong to be untangled. It could kill someone with a fainted heart. It's like being in a state of calamity. A person becomes helpless, completely lost, almost insane...if your brain wires are not lined up, it will really break.

when I was too lonely

I had a chance to speak with the mother of hubby's friend who passed away last Friday. She asked me to sit down so she can tell me what happened. I told her we went to the hospital that night in the hope to rescue her son. But we were already late. She was trembling. She sounded like she just learned how to talk. The words she tried to utter couldn't come out. Somewhere in the middle of her bewildered face, she mumbled 'unsaon naman nako ni?' (how will I do this?). I just sat there in motionless. All she needed was someone who can listen.

I walked away when I had the chance. But deep down I wanna say I've been there. It was so dark that I see nothing. I could reach but unable to hold.

Tears were about to roll when I opted to grab a cracker. It was so spicy that the water in my eyes went backwards. It wasn't proper for me to cry.

"Movie Review: WHAT IF?"

photo credit:www.imp.com

Wallace: "I remember the night Allan and Nicole met. And that instant conection. If you're lucky it happens once in a lifetime and if you're unlucky, then you have to come to weddings and listen to people like me talking about it. And asume we're all hopeless romantics... It's very easy to be cynical about love, but this, tonight, this is hard." (credit to www.imdb.com)

The famous Harry Potter is now Wallace in this film. Daniel Radcliffe is paired by Zoe Kazan as Chantry here. Wallace is a drop out medical student who decided to give it a rest when it comes to relationship. When he met Chantry at his best friends' party (Allan played by Adam Driver), everything changed. Or that's what he thought. Chantry has a boyfriend of 5 years and they live together. Chantry is Allan's cousin who's boyfriend always comes home late due to work demands. Rafe Spall as Ben is Chantry's boyfriend who is a copyright law expert representing the UN. A big time shot compared to a drop out Doctor-to-be. 

Their friendship blossomed when Chantry needed someone to go with for groceries, shopping, lunch, etc. They just clicked. But Chantry is a good girl who never cheated on anyone. She managed to control her urge not to show Wallace how she feels the same. Until Ben had to go to Ireland for re-assignment. Their relationship started to faint. The more when Chantry made a surprise visit and there was a woman happily huggling with Ben. Wallace was her refuge. That triggered Chantry's realization how she cared for Wallace. Not too long they both disclose their true feelings and just gave in to it. 

It's a comedy romance movie that Radcliffe did really well. His British accent is maintained that made him more noticeable and cute. They went through the spiral of being best of friends and almost wanting to be lovers. It can giggle someone who is hopeless romantic. 

To watch is to believe! :D

"Welcome to My WALL of FREEDOM!"

Remember those freedom walls in high school days? During Valentines Day it's filled with notes. Love notes, friendship or the famous 'vandal' signatures. It's a wall of rants, expression of admiration, of love and what not. Everything was tangible. We can touch the paper getting dirty by those multi-colored pens. And when you participate, it's like soaring high with your emotions as its wings. 

Today it has evolved 360 degrees. Freedom wall now is through Facebook, twitter and our most loved...Bubblews. We have all the space we need. Plus we can interact by prompt replies and likes. But sometimes, it's full of pretenses. That's why we have to use our best judgement. Whatever though. Just as long as we enjoy it.

"With A SPECIAL VISITOR"

It's my sissy brother. Yeah. He's a gay and I think I've mentioned about him in my previous posts. It's been awhile since we had this chance of being together. He's already 19 years old and had fairly built his own social life. Surrounded with gay friends is sure at the utmost fun way of living student life. He will graduate by March with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Communication. He's not the typical attention seeker gay. His physique and projection alone will already draw a lot of attention. He is obsessed in fashion. He can pull off weird color combinations and high-heeled pumps at a party. Or a smart polo shirts and a city shorts by ordinary days. He got face value and a height. His pointy nose and deep-seated eyes makes the girl wish he's a straight guy.

He calls himself Rinxy. When his real name is Jayson Dave Renzo. And we are enjoying the brandy in this gloomy night. Ain't that fun?

"GOD's Minute: Got a Co-Pilot?"

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. —Galatians 2:20

Would you rather be the Pilot or a co-Pilot? If it's about increasing your self-regard then you'd choose to be the Pilot, right? Earning million in one year, meeting a lot of people of different races. But that's not what it meant by today's message. It is to inform us that God should be our Pilot and we stay in the passenger's seat.

For in every bump of the road, you don't need to worry because someone is maneuvering the wheel. More than just an expert driver. Life is full of uncertainty. We can vanish anytime without a warning sign. What could happen to us if we don't have Christ living in us? 

That question doesn't need a lot of research to be answered. ;)
