a very elaborate mistake by the media people :) starting from the anchors yesterday like Ted Failon who frequently pronounces Pres. Arroyo's death rather Aquino. and now the Manila Bulletin boo boo. Am sure its just accidental errors or is it?

anyhow, farewell tita Cory and Thanks for saying no to press oppression. We salute you. :)

my thought for the day

JK Rowling:

"In Hogwarts, help will come for those who need it."

Pia Lorraine:

"Prayer is the answer to everything that you need."


:)obviously im so into hogwarts, and harry and other potter related things that I ended up coming up with that connection. anyway its significantly the same and thats how faith goes. As long as you believe there will always be sunshine after the rain. :)

Half Blood: one of the best HP films

The sixth movie installment of the boy who lived is yet another trophy not only in the careers of the lead casts but also to the director Mr. David Yates and everyone who was a part in the making of this excellent film.

although admittedly the movie version is far from the book adaptation the cinematography is good that I can almost say that the movie can stand on its own. Of course I would still prefer the book more but since the book is so packed with action and various crucial scenes, it must have been very painful to omit most of its parts for the movie version.

Maybe because I can attribute this likeness for the 6th movie to the promise I made to myself that I wont judge the movie according to how I loved the books. Obviously I cannot expect the makers to copy the book as is because we might end up watching a 10-hour movie. :) My reactions for the fourth and fifth films were merely disappointment because the film is different from what I know according to the book.

needless to say I am really excited to see the last two movies and looking forward to watch the series from the philosophers stone to the deathly hallows straight in DVD.

the tale of FFQ

Friends Forevre Quoza (FFQ)- an odd name for a high school tropa, nonetheless high school life is really comprised of odds, unexpected and surprising bits of things that comes well - very inevitable.

high school is the awkward transition of childhood and adulthood like what britney spears used to sing "im not a girl not yet a woman :)." anyway its been almost 9 years since I graduated high school and I am glad to say that FFQ though with many names missing still strive to exist.

Some of us now have babies of their own, some are building names and careers while some were nowhere to be found but then again what can we expect since its a cycle where everybody will lead his own life when a chapter ends.

I cannot forget those people who were with me for full 4 years. celebrated b-days with me, cried with me, laughed with me and only God knows what else. :)

FF was starred by Anna, Winnie, Jaymee, Tonnie, Bheng, Phei, Joan, Bhem, Aphoy and Bubong while Quoza was billed by Rommel, Joey, Onald, Joel, Marvin A., Marvin S. and Randylord :D well I am not really sure with the other names since I am not even sure how the band started.

I don't know why I decided to write this piece, I just felt that I owe something to these people whom I called best of friends. I am trying to recount the experiences I had with them but the memory is overflowing that I cant seem to pick one.

I'm just thankful that our paths have crossed in one way or another and GOD left me with a handful of people that I can daresay willing to remain until (hopefully, please GOD let it be forever) were so old. :) Joey, Bheng, Joel, Rommel and Me and Some of marvin A. and S and Tonnie decided to keep closely in touch.

now were excited to meet the latest baby of the group. Jhelly and Joey's little treasure, many of us already have theirs,little joel, little jaymee, little Anna, little bhem and little onald's but joey's and joel's baby is the one I am excited the most since I get to see them always.

How to get over your EX in 10 days…
By Pia Lorraine V. Yater

The unrelenting cycle of love and pain.

As romantics put it pain is as inevitable as love. We all go through breakups, and they can be rough and tough for some and straightforward for others. But generally heartbreaks are major mood deflators and ego droppers.

Surely heartaches are unavoidable but it’s curable so here’s a ten-day guide of coping up after the break up.

Day 1

Rethink the issues and problems raised only to learn from them. But don’t ever blame yourself. Don’t act like everything was your fault. Just analyze and accept.
Its fair to be angry – you have to release you emotions anyway so why not deal with it in your own way, cry or scream for a day. Set that deadline, follow it and don’t over do it. Just let go of the tension and wash away the sadness it will do you good.

Day 2

Accept the pain. Once you’ve let it all up, its time for acceptance. Think about the times when you still don’t know him or her, this will remind you that you’ve live without him/her then you can certainly continue even without your ex partners presence.

Day 3

Talk to your family and friends. They are a good source of guidance and support. You need people that will remind you that you should love yourself more.

Day 4

Take a moment. Take a moment to unwind and be calm, talk to somebody you trust and feel good about yourself. Its torture to stay in a non-healthy relationship and bear in mind that being with the wrong person is worst than undergoing the pain of breakup.

Day 5

Clean up. Remove all mementos of his/her existence in your life. Keeping the things of your ex will only slow down the healing process. Think in the positive perspective you’ll soon be filling your closet of things from your next partner anyway so make way and be ready.

Day 6

Stay active. It’s scientifically proven that exercise perk up mood. Use this hobby as a diversion to keep your mind off the pain.

Day 7

Find happiness. Indulge in other activities that entertain you or start something new that can lift your mind off your worries and pain. Read a book; learn a new sport or travel and splurge if you must, pampering yourself will keep you moving on. There are many things to explore today so don’t miss out your chance to connect with the world and experience the beauty of life.

Day 8

Look good. Being loveless doesn’t mean you’ll forget about your own looks and appearance. Feel good about yourself and remember there are many fishes in the sea to look forward to.

Day 9

Let go. Accept that it’s pointless to be bitter or regretful. You may had a happy relationship with this past affair but since things didn’t work out good there’s still someone who’s meant for you, waiting to be found.

Day 10

Be optimistic. Now that you’re single, you get to find new people to hang out with. Don’t be afraid to love again, change for the better and always be true to yourself.

Along the way, you’ll also find these helpful hints will make you survive your misery.

Keep your distance – never contact your ex by any means, no emails, no calls, no unexpected visits and never stalk.

Refrain from checking his personal site - e.g. friendster, facebook or myspace if you think you’d be tempted to do so, use firewalls and blocksite that allows you to block the URL to that profile. The lesser you know about him or her the more chance you have for a speedy recovery.

Never take back your decision – On no account will you use your loneliness as a catalyst to take back what’s already said and finalized. If you overly romanticized the good times you shared it will only make you pity yourself for being alone so try not to dwell on these happy but PAST thoughts or memories.

a trip to the north 3rd part

our northern trip has become a 3 part series. I hope I could say everything on this chapter so I could move on to my next adventure. :)

ride to pagudpod is really hot and my excitement to see the windmills is getting on my nerves, until finally I saw tall white electrically powered windmills towering over the town of Bangui. one thing that Bangui people should improve on their tourism is to make a site out of their famous windmills. sayang lang kasi tourists should have their own car or ride a trycicle with special fees. pagbaba namin sa area the experience was good, ang ganda kasi ng windmills and the views is refreshing talaga.

its also a good thing na nagpahintay kami sa trycicle driver kasi theres no way a tourist can go back on foot.

after the Bangui adventure na hindi naman nagtagal because we only took pictures of me Flying high (airborne), big curling waves, the windmills and the fine sand, bumalik na kami sa main hi-way through the tricycle we rented on our bangui adventure. he also watched our belongings for us while we enjoyed the sceneries. Buti na lang mabait xa.

when we reached the hi-way we waited for a bus heading to pagudpod. 30 mins din ata yung pinaghintay namin before we reached pagudpod. bumaba kami sa parang terminal and ended up parang lost dahil we dont know where the beaches are. parang nahalata ng mga tao na lost kami sa surrounding so mega ask sila where we headed. A king tricycle driver again became our saviour. he took us to a hotel where we can stay. :) after maglapag ng gamit we checked the pristine waters of pagudpod agad. and our long travel suddenly became a worthy trip because of its serene beauty. the water is clean and even with ample light (at night) you can still see its crystal green color. wow sarap talaga maligo sa ganito ka fresh. we enjoyed the night by lying in the sand looking at the stars and feeling the splash of water and the smoothness of the fine white sand. We then realized that we are on the boundary of the Philippines anything beyond it is another country. Its really a blissful experience.

the next morning naligo kami ulit siyempre. early 7am nasa tubig na ako ulit. takot sa araw. :D after that nag check out na kami thinking that we will still tour loaog before our 5pm flight.

the least enjoyable is laoag although maganda ang paoay church and i have lots of pictures there. ok din and fort ilocandia pero ang lalayo ng tourist spots. we visited the local market at wala akong makitang makitang magandang pasalubong there. plus we have to pay 400PHp sa trycicle driver to see some places kaya by 3pm we decided na magpahatid na sa airport (since kasama na sa package ng 400PHp). and then a funny thing happened. 7pm pa pala ang flight namin hahaha. I misread our e-ticket. so no choice but to wait for our plane. anyway Ilocos is still a vacation that I would never forget bloopers aside :D
