A Good Advice from a Friend

Image
'Real love isn’t a fairy tale, but it’s so worth it, and possible if we work for it.' -Lori Deschene Sometimes, I can't avoid to think that having a relationship is a need in my life right now. Last night, I had a talk with a friend who unexpectedly gave me an advice that I think it's worth to consider. He said that being single in our moment is way better than having a relationship by demand. He chose to be single because he wanted that relationship to end up in marriage. There is no use of finding a girlfriend or a boyfriend right now if your only reason is to entertain your empty life. Anyway, he's right. I can see that he is happy, even though he said that his love life is so plain like vanilla. I am single for 3 years now. In this long time that I have, I had the most rocky road adventure in finding for the right one and I always ended up with sad goodbyes. I'm a hopeless romantic that's why I easily fall in love in the wrong guy. I have to ...

'What's in your backpack?'

     Despite of our schedules, there will always come a time that we wanted to break free and relax for awhile. This is a reality for those who are working full time. We can experience burnout and we can’t avoid it. Yesterday, I was given the chance to watch a movie. Actually, I didn’t watch the trailer and I can’t remember why I downloaded it. Yet, I was lucky enough that I chose ‘Up in the Air’ which George Clooney was the actor behind Ryan Bingham, the lead character who travels a lot. The story was about a man who was connected to an agency who offers a strategy packet services for those company who ended up to a massive eviction of their employees.       ‘Hearing the word ‘you’ve been let go’ is not easy. Change is always scary, but consider the following. Anybody who ever built an empire or changed the world sat where you are now.’          What I love is his travel experiences and the advancement he g...

LOVE, Rosie

Oh well, two good movies in just a week! I don't really have enough time for a side trip, but this movie? I can't resist it. :) Love, Rosie. I've been waiting to watch this movie after I watched the trailer last year. Since I've known that this is also a book based movie written by Cecilia Ahern which it was with same author of P.S. I love you. Honestly, I watched P.S. I love you more than 3 times and I can't stop myself from crying. I loved how the story line moves especially on letters that Gerry had wrote for Holly. Aside from that, the movie location was in Ireland and that makes the movie more interested.  I do have a copy of the book, but I can't find time to read it. Maybe soon! I am really satisfied with P.S. I love you though the ending was the saddest part. LOVE, ROSIE....love and friendship... The almost two hours movie made me realize something, and that was, 'no matter what will happen, the friendship should always be the best reason...

DAY 2: Worth remembering despite of what happened.

Image
6 days to remember. First time of independent travel. 100% Enjoyment. In this year of 2015, it was a pleasure to experience travel independently for the first time. In these posts, it consists of my daily activities for the entire 6 days that I have. I’m so happy that I was able to record the details of my trip. FEBRUARY 8, 2015 This is what I ordered at Starbucks Boracay. Insomnia bitch related to the consumption of a TALL ESPRESSO FRAPPUCINNO at STARBUCKS BORA (shet!) I didn't sleep well. Some studies found out that it’s a myth that caffeine causes insomnia. Oh well, I can't sleep for two nights straight already, but it's weird because I am still energetic and active as ever. Morning booked for PARASAILING and HELMET DIVING for an affordable price. Before I went to Boracay, I already asked some of my friends about the prices of the activities. The piece of advice they gave me was that I should be clever in choosing the packages. ...

SONG ONE, A moment can change everything

Image
     Even though I have a lot of things to do especially on my requirements, I still find time to watch a movie and enjoyed it a little. I definitely chose 'Song One', starring Anne Hathaway and Johnny Flynn.       Below is the plot I copied from Wikipedia.        Franny Ellis ( Anne Hathaway ), an archaeology student, returns home from her PhD thesis work in  Morocco  to see her estranged brother, Henry ( Ben Rosenfield ), a musician who entered a  coma  after a car accident. To revive Henry and repair their relationship, Franny uses writings from Henry's journal to travel among New York City music clubs, where she takes notes on the phrases and music she observes with hopes that the similar sounds, once played in his room, will awaken Henry. Eventually, Franny meets Henry's favorite musician, James Forrester ( Johnny Flynn ), at a concert, and convinces him to play for Henry. Franny and Forrester d...

AUSTENLAND

Written FEBRUARY 6, 2014. "I am single because, apparently, the only good men are fictional." I just finished watching the movie, AUSTENLAND, and I found the subtitle after I watched the movie. However, thanks to my loud equalizer because I didn't had the hard time listening to every conversations. Well, I just laughed hard and fall in love more deeper again in this movie after I enjoyed the sad ending from the movie 'Her' which I've watched few days ago. I am glad because after my tiring 12 hours of duty, I still have this chance this wonderful and unforgettable movie.      There is really a difference between reality and fantasy and because of this movie, I realized that I am still dreaming. I recommend all the single women out there, especially the hopeless romantics, to watch this movie for the coming Valentine's Day. It may help us to be awaken from our own fantasies. We should not put in our mind out perfect prince charming but i...
