No one's got it all

" I'm the hero of the story.

Don't need to be saved ...

... It's al-right, It's al-right, It's al-right, It's al-right

No one's got it all."

How about Roger Federer? ^^

Complete Your Soul

"I'm not frightened.
I'm not frightened of anything.
The more I sufffer, the more I love.
Danger will only increase my love.
It will sharpen it. It will give it spice.
It'll be the only angel that you need.
You will leave life only more beautiful
when you entered it.
Heaven will take you back and look at you
and say:

Only one thing will make a soul complete
and that thing is LOVE."

Narrated by
Michage Berg from the movie, The Reader

This goes specially to my friend, Enrico of Pangan Thoughts (eipangan.blogspot.com). And mind you, it doesn't have to be romantic love hehehe ^^

After watching the movie (The Reader), I now understand why Hugh Jackman portrayed the movie as such at the opening of the Oscar Awards! I really thought that he hasn't seen the movie. hahaha (^o^)/

You've Got A Comment!

"The odd thing about this form of communication is that you're more likely to talk about nothing than something but I just wanna say that ... all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings."

Movies, the lines, and the things they do you do. (^O^)v

A salute to all bloggers, both readers and writers alike, thank you for all those nothings! A special mention goes to all those who never get tired of leaving comments behind. (^O^)/

If you haven't figured it out yet, the line is from the movie "You've Got Mail."

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight (Book & Movie) Plus Marketing Lessons

Here’s a look at Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, the first book in her Twilight Saga series and why I think people are raving about it that even my older sister, who thought the cover to be unappealing at first, decided to buy the whole series anyway.

I wonder why people compared it to the Harry Potter series. Aside from using characters of supernatural decent, I can’t find any other resemblance. Even the introduction of a baseball game ala vampire-style, I thought, was a lame attempt in comparison to Harry Potter’s Quidditch. I doubt it that the characters would still be playing the same game in the succeeding books. However, this assessment is based only after reading the first book.

I tell you, at some point, the book will make you cringe, your grip will tighten on the book, and chapters will come flying by. I even forgot to breathe, only taking shallow breaths that my chest began to hurt. Why so you ask? Well, it’s because the whole book is all about foreplay!


It’s a story based on a development of events between the lead characters from sitting together in class, to holding hands, to hugging, and then finally kissing. What makes it unique though is that it’s a love story between a human and a vampire. My imagination just went overboard unable to fathom how something or someone can smell like my favorite chocolate and yet transcend that realm of longing driven by hunger to enter into something pleasurable and sensual as well. Whew! And for that experience alone, I don’t regret reading the book at all. This will have to be marketing lesson no. 1: Sex sells! However, I don’t encourage anyone to use sex to sell something so forget that I said this.

However, for that same experience that I felt above, I thought the ending was so anti-climactic! Definitely, it brought out the books true nature of catering to the young adults. The author didn’t even elaborate on the fight sequence, which I thought was just proper, but still it was a very lame way to end it.

Read on and click this link to see a preview of the cast and trailer of the upcoming movie, and for marketing lessons no.1 and 2.

Mamma Mia! Here I go again!

I got dragged to watch this movie the last time I was in Manila. (^O^)v I've never heard of it until that moment. I wasn’t disappointed though as I love musicals! You see, I grew up watching The Sound of Music and The King and I.

This particular scene when the cast sang “Take a Chance on Me” reminded me of two college friends who made a pact to marry each other when both are still single when they reach the age of 28! Imagine that! Hehehe (^O^)/

If you’re all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test,
If you let me try

Do you want to know what happened to my friends? Well, they’re both in their 30s now and together … they are not. But everything’s well … the girl got married before she turned 28 and is now living in the states. The guy is in Manila being pampered to the next level by an officemate. Hihihi (^O^)v

Note: If not for the music, you’ll definitely love the setting! The place where they shot the movie was breathtaking. The blue beaches, the sunsets, the church by the cliff, the moonlight by the sea! I believe the director highlighted these settings more than the characters themselves!
