OBVIOUS CHILD

In every decision that we will make, there will always be a consequences. However if you put your worries and fears on your shoulders, surely, you will only get a muscle strain and it will be the most painful experience you had. Life’s worries and fears should be kept in a box and thrown to the sea so that our life will be easy and light. 
     In this movie ‘Obvious Child’, I salute the character of Jenny Slate as Donna Stern whom a courageous woman who decided to get an abortion. Well, the decision about abortion depends on person’s beliefs. It can be mainly influenced by our religious affiliation. I am not condemning a woman who decided to have an abortion because it’s her body and she discern it so well and we should respect her. In this modern era, sex can be a common thing we did with the opposite sex. It may be on a stranger, acquaintance or to our boyfriend. However safe sex should be practiced as well so that there’s no harm after. I’m 22 years old but still, I’m not yet been to a real sex. Maybe I will do it if I’m capable already especially with my finances. I think I have to share this but recently, there’s a friend of mine whom I made plans that we’re going to label our relationship as friends with benefit. I think it’s weird but we did not do it yet because he’s out of the country and through this movie, it made me realize something. I’m not yet ready for anything. I’m excited to do it but there’s a feeling in me that says “No!”. I’m avoiding him recently. To be honest, I’m afraid and scared. I’m a nurse and I know how to practice safe sex but there’s really something that pushes me of not to do it. I don’t know.

     By the way, I’m so thankful because I find time to watch this movie. It’s really great and inspiring especially to my generation as young adults who are not yet stable and capable of building a family. Being a parent means responsibilities and I’m sure of myself that I’m not yet ready for it. My mother would always advised me to enjoy being single and I think I am enjoying it. I’m not into a relationship for almost three years now and all I can say is that I’m enjoying.
     Two thumbs up for this movie! It is not another simple rom-com movie but it says something of what’s happening in our society. The love story of Donna and Max is one of a kind and I’m happy with the ending. Watch it dear reader and you’ll never regret it! :)

'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.'

Written July 14, 2015 . This is the movie wallpaper of Wild. I just finished watching the movie 'Wild'. I chose to watch this movie tonight because of Reese Witherspoon and she's one of my favorite. And also, I didn't have a lot of things to do right now, so I prefer a movie over a book. I thought this was all about hiking because that was the idea I got in the trailer. I was wrong. Somehow, as the story continues, it illustrates how strong a woman can face life alone in the dessert and how she survives such crisis. It also depicts what a woman can do in order to move on and surpass her troubles. As a woman, myself, the movie helps me to become more courageous enough in dealing with my own problems. There was a line that catches my attention, 'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.' It can be our life's motto especially if we are losing hope in our situation. This is Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl Strayed and Reese Wither...

Moving forward takes time.

     I already said my goodbyes repeatedly years ago, but when he came back without a warning, the feelings have suddenly immersed and I am here troubled with doubts of what would be the right thing to do.       Yes, I dearly love him after all these years, but as far as we go through this journey, we can’t keep ourselves steady and stable in securing a commitment. I don’t know if this is just a minor feeling, but I am hurt already in the inside especially on his silent treatment and ignoring behavior.       I love him that I almost have given everything just to keep him in my life. Love can really make us crazy and because of these raging feelings, I can do things without even thinking clearly. Now that he’s far away from me, I am keeping myself secure and somehow ready for anything that will happen sooner.       I should be contented with what I only have in my life. Honestly, this is what I co...

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back?

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back? Originally written last June 26, 2013. 'Sometimes we tend to overindulged ourselves with earthly things. Then, frustration comes in when the feeling of inadequacy overshadowed us.'    Last June 23, 2013, I ate a lot that I couldn't manage my stomach anymore. It started with a cup of milo at 4am. I was in the graveyard shift that time. I didn't have enough sleep and I don't have any choice, but to drink cup of coffee after I ate my breakfast. Well, I'm living with my family and I didn't have the hard time in preparing my meals. That morning we enjoyed our merienda because shared a serve of mango float. I'm glad staying in the house every weekend because my siblings were there and together we're complete as a family. I ate four slices of pizza the afternoon of that day and then, it started my hyperacidity.      I was diagnosed with GERD last year. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Diseas...
