II Breaking barriers! English only please?

Ohayoo world! I say good morning since it's 1:19 am right now. Got home 2 hours ago after seeing everyone and watching a movie.

Watched a Pinoy Movie finally, after 2-3 years I forgot when I last watched a full Pinoy film but I'm happy I did again.

I love Filipino Films, I grew up watching masterpieces and really cool flicks by Pinoy Directors, but after 2000, it seemed like quality of local movies declined and almost every piece screams lack of originality/inspiration.

Okay here goes... watched 'English only please'... what?

 Watched English Only Please!

I wasnt expecting much. Honestly, when I saw the message:

P1: What do you guys wanna watch
P2: English only please

Thought they were suggesting that we should watch a Western film, turned out, there was a local film by that title. kekeke. noob.

Anyhow. The film made me forget the stress today, it has sense, it was originally Filipino, the concept reminded me of My Girl but they tweaked it that it felt every bit Pinoy.

I've been having a lot of 'Willy Wonka' moments recently, whatever that meant.

Thoughts provoked by sickness... Ever since January I've been surrounded by sick people, my dad, my whole family except my mom, Edrick even got an IV (inserted by Chele! Sayang I wasnt able to take a video) then the next day she got sick, and then I heard a terrible news from my closest friend about her dad.

From those things which happened the entire Holiday Season and then the week after new year, I began to wonder...

Opportunities, Time, Skills, Youth... random realizations, but I need to act, because the bottom line from all these is that I wanted to help.

I can never be a doctor, and then there's JS' words running in my head, 'never settle- Steve Jobs', 'never be afraid to try new things, get out of your comfort zone' 'comfortable'.

One of the tagline I loved from the movie:

"The Tere I know isnt like this, Chikinini Boy is sucking the happiness out of you."

That single line alone made me think of a lot of things.

It reminded me of Dementors. The one in JK Rowling's Harry Potter. The one you need a patronous (a spell formed with your happy thought, the happier and purer, the stronger the spell) to repel.

1. We have to learn to identify Dementors/ Chikinini Boys, those people who after you interact with makes you feel drained. (I'm bad at this btw.)
2. We need to help them or stay away from them if it can't be helped.

3. Strengthen your own 'Patronous', I'm calling it Patronous since I think it's the perfect label for it.

Later today, I want to go to this thing... I want to go. Haha. I dont know, I'm startiing to talk nonsense.

Until next update!

Stay away from dementors and strengthen your patronus!

Good morning!

Unrequitted Love

Haha. I cant believe I just made that the title for this post. I must be very bored or going out of my mind. Kkk. So yeah. Ugh. I dont like love being applied to me but I love writing about it. I love romantic novels, seeing romance in other people but I don't want to really be involved in it as myself, if that makes any sense. Fine, I think it's the fear of commitment or responsibility, the fear of taking care of another human being and the fear of living up to that other human being's expectations. Issues, I know. But since I'm in the mood to blog about random things because I can't get my mind to work on something sensible to write about, then I'm just going to write about what's on my mind. Love. I want to write about romance right now, but as I always write when I'm completely my honest self, I can't write because I am not feeling like myself. So funny. I wasn't able to act on my emotions. See, I'd rather be embarrassed, or regret doing ...

You dont stop playing because you're old, you grow old because you stop playing.

*the thinker mode* You dont stop playing because you're old, you grow old because you stop playing. I read this quote somewhere, online, and it was stuck in my head for days. Not a bad quote. Something James Barrie might have lived by or believed in. It's a quote that fits my personality, more precisely my character. I love this quote because it gives the real definition of playing. The message of the quote may actually promote selfishness since it has the word 'playing' and playing is always fun and its meaning also varies from person to person. For me, it's to have fun in everything that you do, that no matter what we will all be children with experiences added with the years... But to absorb the negative instead of the positive things along the way is what takes out 'playing' in our lives. In a way, if you're having fun, all kinds of people will benefit from you since no one wants to be with a miserable person... no one wants to see you misera...

What's the moral lesson?

Good morning! It's 8:00 on a Wednesday morning and I just had my breakfast. So I was preparing for a beautiful and positive day but it started out not so well. Family. As I am currently not working I have the time to blog about something that happens regularly. I woke up to the bitchiness of my sister who's taking up med. I mean, if you can't handle the stress of medicine, might as well just let it go and move on with your life. She's miserable. Her negativity is contagious. I'm not saying she's stupid, but she has deep issues. I try to understand where her negativity is coming from, she can't clean up her stinking mess which she woke up to: bad smell, pimple on her face and a messy station-- bound to feel bad about everything. So predictable though. So today I'm supposed to prepare for that meeting I have with a possible client, I am excited and nervous at the same time. Freelance marketing? Seriously...? Me? hi hi... Taking on a real project involving ...
