The Journey. It’s Mine. [My personal take on love, life, parenting and blogging.]

Watching Imortal on ABS-CBN was purely out curiosity. At first I thought it was a remake of the old Vilma Santos-Christopher De Leon movie entitled Imortal. Gosh. Then only to find out the teleserye is about feuding wolves and vampires. You don’t have to be Twilight fan to realize how Twilight-y the plot is not even halfway into the first episode.

And like any other Pinoy plot, the story line is just so darn predictable! The first episode isn’t over yet but you already know how it’s going to end. Why is it always like that? Can’t the writers think of new twists and be creative for once? (I’m already in my late 30s and they’ve been at it since I was in grade school.) Or is it that unpredictable twists don’t sell to the masses? Most probably!

Either way, don’t blame me for being ‘unpatriotic’ because I get more satisfaction watching reruns of good old foreign films.

Read the book countless times, now it’s a movie.

I hope I get to watch this.

The official trailer of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is out now:

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows will be released in two parts: part 1 is slated for a November 19, 2010 release, while part two will arrive in theaters on July 15, 2011.Excited na ako!

Recently…my days wouldn’t be complete without catching Simply KC. I know…I know…baka tumaas kilay nyo dyan! Well I can’t help it, natutuwa ako sa kanya.

Anyways…I’m actually interested in buying her latest album. I think this song, Not Like The Movies (found via Snow’s blog) is included that album.

I have a confession to make: In my teens, I was a fan of the Karate Kid movies. I watched all three including that ‘new karate kid” with Hilary Swank.So it’s like a birthday gift to me when the new Karate Kid remake premiered Monday night in L.A.

It is starring Will and Jada Smith’s son Jaden and of course my favorite in the whole world…Jackie Chan! What could I ask more? It’s like everything you’ve ever wanted in one plate. Ha ha! Except that it’s a feast for your eyes, not your stomach.

Okay.. so Ralph Macchio has mixed feelings on the movie’s remake…is he really 48 years old now?! He even looks different!

He admitted being old. Well I may be old too but I am not too old to watch Karate Kid this time. I don’t care if this remake disappoints, as long as Jackie Chan is in it then I am sold. ;)Yey! Happy birthday to me…I don’t need a sleep aid tonight. I’m too tired carrying Raine’s shopping bags.

The good: The Proposal

Starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I had a blast watching this movie. It is the ultimate feel-good romantic comedy movie of the year. Besides, it tackled the most abused visa in the United States — the fiancee’s visa.

The bad: The Ugly Truth

Starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. This is probably the most boring movie of all time. I was falling asleep 10 minutes into it. Hmmm…make that 5. The only good thing I can probably say is that the very rugged Gerard Butler is something you would want to house in myrtle beach condos. He he he.

A few months ago, I bought a DVD of Dirty Dancing. I’ve been replaying it over and over again since then. Especially that final dance number at the end of the movie.

I will always remember Patrick Swayze as the hot, mesmerizing dancer and a guy so straight he only ever married one woman. A fact that is too rare in hollywood.

Anyways…when he is dancing, all jaws just drop and you fix your eyes and your heart to that very moment. You don’t want the dance to stop.

Keep dancing Patrick Swayze, wherever you will be. Rest in peace!

Watch this.

That’s Lea Salonga in a British talk show.

She’s actually speaking with a BRITISH ACCENT!!!

This whole week..Barrio Siete has a tribute to President Cory.

All blog entries are about Cory.

Cory is the humblest personality I’ve ever seen in politics. She’s got crendentials under her belt but she sticked to the ‘plain housewife who became president’ label.

She is a daughter of rich parents who was sent to the US for high school and college studies as a result of her cry for personal independence.

She has a major in French and a minor in Math. She wanted to be an interpreter and a Math teacher. Then she came home to the Philippines to study law at FEU. She didn’t finish law of course, she fell in love and married Ninoy.

Since then she became a wife and a mother. She did it all with flying colors.  I guess she is one proud, accomplished mom until her daughter Kris entered showbiz and got involved with one controversy after another. What a shame to the family right?!

[Kris should have at least considered her family name before getting into her messy showbiz lovelife and improving her physical appearance (liposuction, cosmetic surgery, noxycut, etc.) the showbiz way!]

Well anybody deserves a second chance right? Don’t mess-up yours Kris.

Cory is a wonderful woman that the whole world admired. Sana man lang itong Kris na laging nasa limelight eh magtino na ng todo-todo!

R.I.P. Cory. You are missed.

Kris Aquino is bratty, selfish…tactless and eventhough I watch The Buzz and SNN…i just don’t like her, i make fun of her antics instead.

But since Cory’s last days at the hospital to this day…Kris has shown grace under pressure. She is actually likeable these days. I hope it lasts.

(In the process she won’t need Marie France nor a phenphedrine review. She just needs somebody to surgically remove her eyebags! He he he.)

Enough of the Michael Jackson overload…he he he.

The world didn’t notice that Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince already premiered in London. The stars are all so grown-up on the red carpet. (Emma Watson was even showing some cleavage! Sinabayan si JK Rowling. Hehe. )

Though the stars of HP got soaked in London during the red carpet entrance…they all charmed everyone.

Bad trip talaga ang last-song-syndrome. The last song you heard will keep on playing inside your head. That happens wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

The last song having such an effect on me?
