HELP! I don't know how to move on!
1. Cry and cry until you die
HAHAHAHA KIDDING! Well, crying is indeed the effective way to let all the pain out. This is the first step in moving on. Crying helps you reduce the pain somehow but it doesn't mean that when you cry everything's gonna go back to its normal state.
2. Talk to your besties or to yourself
If you're uncomfortable opening up your story to your friends you can just talk to yourself. I know it sounds weird and insane but this will actually help you to slowly understand yourself and the situation you are going through. Trust me, speaking out your feelings to someone or to yourself will work.
3.Stalk him
I know that this tip is kinda negative but I'm pretty sure everyone's stalking their ex'es after break up so go ahead gurl! Just be careful cause you might hit the like button. Hahaha. But after stalking him for two to three days, you SHOULD STOP! Refrain from using you accounts even your phone. I suggest to put your phone into airplane mode or just let your friend hide your phone.HAHAHAHA! Does it make any sense?
4. EAT, SLEEP, REPEAT
The basic steps in moving on. It's okay. You can just do these two for the rest of the week but always remember that you should not let these steps eat you for a very long time.
5. Read books or listen to music
Read. Read. Read. If you're not enjoying books you can turn on your phone and speakers and just listen to your faves. It's okay to listen to your "theme songs" or to his favorite songs. It's part of moving on. You cannot just hide those songs or delete those just because it reminds you of all the memories that you had. Imagine this, if you're not used to hear those theme songs you had then you were in a coffee shop or in a restaurant then this certain song plays. So.... there you are teary eyed because you remember all of your mem'ries with him. Unlike when you're used to it, you'll be alright when you hear it.
6. Write!!
Compose poems, short stories, songs or just write on your journal everything!! Every heartaches, every pain. It's okay even if you messed up your hand writing or even if the ink smudge. It's more dramatic though. Hahahaha. But seriously, you can write "30 days of moving on" or any shit that you want to write about him. This could also be an alternative on step number 2.
7. Watch movies or series
Turn on your TV or your lappy. Go watch your fave movies or discover new series. Watch 'til 4AM or whatever. You can go with Nicholas Sparks love stories and cry in every scene that you picture yourself and your ex boyfriend. Or just cry just because you missed all the memories. It doesn't matter how many tissue rolls you used.

If only you love her
I wonder why do people fall in love? How can people easily say those words, "I love you". Are they aware on the true meaning of love? Do they know the consequences when they give their heart to someone else? Why do people easily give their heart and soul to someone?
Sometimes I just sit back and stay in a peaceful coffee shop wondering how people can carry all the responsibilities of loving someone. Actually for me, it is really hard to love someone especially when you can't love yourself in the first place. How can you love a girl when all she thinks about are her insecurities? How can you deal with all of her shitty thoughts about life? Can you even look at her and just simply smile because you know deep down in your heart that "Damn i really love this girl".
Don't tell a girl you love her when you can't wait to take her virginity. Don't ever tell a girl you love her when you can't stand by her side everytime she's having a hard time to choose where to eat, what make up to buy or which dress looks better on her. Don't tell a girl you love her when you are not ready to hear her complains in life. Don't tell a girl you love her if you can't remind her how beautiful she is every morning. Don't tell a girl you love her if you never seen her cry. Don't tell a girl you love her if you're not ready to listen to her never ending dramas. Don't tell a girl you love her if you're not ready to hold her hand when she's frightened. Don't tell a girl you love her if you're not ready to see her wounds and scars. Lastly, don't tell a girl you love her if can't love her imperfections.

Just maybe
Maybe he isn't capable to make you happy
Maybe he doesn't accept you for who you are
Maybe he doesn't see you as someone that should be treated as a princess
Maybe he can't tell you how beautiful you are when you smile
Maybe he doesn't appreciate all the little things you do for him
Maybe he doesn't care too much about you
Maybe he isn't making efforts to let you stay
Maybe he can't set his priorities straight
Maybe he isn't prepared to take responsibilities
Maybe he can't picture you walking down the aisle
Maybe he can't see you as a mother of his child
Maybe he can't include you in his plans and goals in life
Maybe he can't be a responsible partner
Maybe he can't clarify to himself what true love means
Maybe he can't love himself as much as you love him
Maybe he isn't tired, he just want to take a rest
Maybe he can't lie to himself telling you that he loves you
Maybe when he says I love you he can't look into your eyes
Maybe he was just too afraid knowing that you can do anything for him while he cannot
Maybe he doesn't love you in a way that you wanted him to love you
Maybe he just fall out of love
Lastly, maybe he isn't the one

Brilliante Mendoza: Taklub (Trap)
I've been a huge fan of independent films ever since I study Communication. We've done a lot of film analysis and such. I was forced to watch films that's not my type and later on identify such parts and analyze it. At first I was like "How am I going to watch this movie? I can't even understand the story. I'm not interested in this genre!" Yeah, stuff like that. But I realized that I should embrace all genres and I shouldn't limit myself for watching films that only suits my interest. Honestly, I'm more into local movies than international ones because I believe that I, we, should appreciate our very own masterpiece. These days, indie films are creating a huge impact among the audience because mainstream films are becoming off the interest of some viewers. Personally, there are few mainstream films that I consider as a good one. Unlike indie films, it seems to be great all the time although my knowledge about indie films are not that much. I've watched few indie films in television and I'm wanting to watch film festivals like Cinemalaya and Sinag Maynila but I always ended up not attending any of those festivals. And I don't know why.

Tis the season to spread the love!
It's the most sweetest time of the year! ♥ I bet everyone became busy before this day comes. Girls and especially boys became active planning for their surprises to their loved ones. Creating love letters, buying chocolates, decorating some cute stuff, spreading petals at the floor with matching candles and balloons and of course bouquet of flowers and giant teddy bear every girl wants!! (Yeah. I want that too but I'm more into letters than bears. I think?) Okay, those things I mentioned are cute. That's the typical celebration of Valentines day among the youth today. When I was a little younger I used to see Valentines as a day for extravagant surprises and "buwis-buhay" efforts. For now, I'm more into formal dates in a hotel or restaurant or just an out of town. I also feel loved and special with just a simple rose and a love letter. I used to be a fan of bouquet of flowers, everytime i see them I'm like "Uhh. That is so sweet!"But now, one rose is enough for me. Hahahaha! ☺ As long as I'm with the most special persons in my life in a serene and peaceful place, I am completely happy.
Today is February 14, we all have different ways to celebrate this day. We all have different beliefs and perspectives on how are we going to make this day extra special with our loved ones. Let's just spread the love sweeties! Happy Heart's Day everyone! Hope you had a great time with your family, friends and special someone!

Ain't number one
I've been known in our class for being one of the competitive student. Well sometimes I get annoyed when they keep on teasing me for being competitive because I'm not really aiming to compete with them. I'm just doing my job to pass a certain subject. They always see me being prepared and organized everytime the class is about to start. Actually, I AM NOT. I am just a regular student coming in class without any preparations. I am just a normal student who can't understand the lessons. I am just a typical student who's failing in quizzes and exams. Just like you. Just like every student.
To tell you honestly, I want to be on top. I want my name to be posted as one of the Dean's Lister. But I know I can't. I am not as intelligent as our batch's top one, two, three. I just passed exams, quizzes, activities and such because I am completely and absolutely studying and memorizing the lectures on my notebook and hand outs. If I will not study, I will fail. That's why I admire those students for passing their subjects without giving full effort to study their lessons. You know, "matalino talaga".
Now I realized, it's not about being the number one. It's not about being the highest in exams. It's not about having grades that is 90 and above. It's not just about the grades. You know you're number one when you achieve something that you didn't expect. You've always been number one. You do not have to compete with others. You do not have to let everyone know that you belong to a star section or Dean's Lister. You don't need anyone for any validation that you're on the top. You're already number one. Believe in yourself. You are the best.

I'll spread my wings soon
It's been a tough battle to all of us. I know I'm not the only one who's thinking about how our future will turn out. I'm not the only one who's planning for work after graduation. We all have plans and goals in life. We all dreamt for a better life, for a perfect life. But how are we going to achieve all of these? As a student, I experienced a lot of rejections, failures, comparisons, and such. My work was been criticized and reprehended. I may sometimes can't answer directly to the professors questions. I always feel the tension every time our terror professor is about to enter the room. My body is always shaking and my voice stutters when I speak. My skin color turns pale. Just like the normal students who's incapable of facing their fears. Honestly the level of my confidence is too low. I know deep down in myself that I got something to say but I'm afraid to be judge by others. Well, that's the main problem of everyone all the time. I don't know how to boost my confidence. I mean, I am confident at times but I'm not consistent.
Now, I realized, what am I doing to myself? Why am I not doing anything that I can be proud of in the future? Why am I settling for this kind of "life"? They always say that " THE CHANGE STARTS IN YOU". So what now? I have plans. I can already see myself in the next 8 years. I can see my perfect life. But I don't know how to go further. I don't know what else should I risk to be someone that is capable of saying YES all the time.

Maestro Fedeli Cafe
Coffee shops is one of the in demand business in today's century. This is one of the successful business anyone can have. Aside from it is easy to put up such business, especially when you have the enough amount of capital, it is also known for being one of the business that encounter less bankruptcy. Having this kind of business is at first hard to establish and maintain a name. It is challenging to stand out in one city if there's more than five coffee shops nearby. Competing with different coffee shops with various specialties is indeed a challenge to every businessman. Even though there are lots of similarities, costumers are ready to try and explore different tastes of coffee and pastries.

It is said that it is for the conveniency of the students and regular customers near the place. Basically, this shop is just designed by the owner. (Well at first you might think that they hire an interior designer for this shop because of the cool concept they have, but NO!)

Bullets over Broadway
The First Act
The film began with a setting in New York City wherein, David Shayne (John Cusack) was arguing with Julian Marx (Jack Warden), a film producer, about the budget of the paly that David wanted to create. David is an idealistic young playwright, who's willing to deal with any offers as long as it is for his success. He's willing to compromise for the love of his art. Since budget is the reason why they can't continue to make the play, Julian finally found funds from Nick Valenti (Joe Viterelli), a gangster. The catch is to make Nick's girlfriend Olive Neal (Jeniffer Tilly) one of the stars in the project they're going to produce. Olive's role is a psychiatrist, a woman with shrill voice and definitely untalented. She is not even pass for a psychiatrist as well as being a dreadful actress. Basically, she's just a woman that will aggravate you everytime she started speaking. What more when she stated throwing lines with her co-stars? Together with Olive is her bodyguard, Cheech, played by Chazz Palmiteri who's always following her in ever thing she do. Cheech will soon reveal his role in this film later on. He's not just Olive's bodyguard, he got more to say in the project David is directing.
Meanwhile, a fading star who has an alcohol problem and describe herself as "some vain Broadway legend", Helen Sinclair played by Dianne Wiest who's target is to seduce David. David has a longtime girlfriend Ellen (Mary-Louise Parker) who supports him all the way. The leading man in the project was played by Warner Purcell (Jim Broadbent) who has eating disorder problem. As they started setting up for the rehearsals they will encounter different challenges.
The setting of this film focused on the theater wherein they rehearse the play.
The Second Act
Since the project they are making is by the help of Nick with a deal to make his girlfriend, Olive as one of the star. They encounter challenges that makes their project worse. Most of the artists didn't know how to portray the roles tat are given to them. Plus Olive with a poor acting skills, it makes David irritated a lot but he doesn't have any choice because it will not be produced unless Olive is part of the play. What makes the movie intense is when Cheech interrupts one of their rehearsals and voice his opinion about the story of the play. David, at first is not in favor on Cheech's opinion. Every rehearsals gets even worse. Later on he realized that he should agree with Cheech's suggestions because this can help them solve the problem.

One night after the rehearsal, Olive got a chance to talk to Warner. They soon discovered that they are sexually attracted to each other. As what the gangster, Nick asked to Cheech that he must always look and follow Olive, Cheech began suspecting that Olive and Warner are having an affair. Until one time in Olive's dressing room they were about start teasing each other sexually, Nick and his bodyguards knock and the door. Warner immediately hide on the closet so Nick didn't caught them.

Hello 2016!
This year is one of the best year of my life. Okay. I'm going to make this post quick ☺This year I learned so much about life. I learned that challenges makes every person grow. It's not about the number of months or years that passes by. It's all about the experiences. I'm thankful for a year full of love and happiness with my family and friends. I'm thankful for all the blessings from our Lord. I, sometimes hate myself and my life but at the end of the day I will think of all the good people around me and for having a life that i will describe as one of a kind. I learned that life has so much to discover. I learned that I should embrace myself for being blessed and for having this kind of life that some people doesn't have. Lastly, the best thing that I learned this year is being capable of accepting and understanding the flaws of every people around me. I don't want to make any promises. I just want to continue to love all the people that deserve to be loved. ♥
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
LET'S MAKE THIS YEAR FILLED WITH LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE!
WELCOME 2016!!!

Its time
It really does. You're the author of your own book. It's your choice to start or end every chapters in life. But i guess this chapter has to end. One of the worse feeling is having both two chapters open, you're waiting for the first chapter to end while still browsing the another chapter. But what's the reason behind this first chapter that I can't let go?
Unlike the other chapters that passed in my life, this one is very different among the rest. This chapter is very short but it feels infinite. It feels like a lifetime chapter that I can be with for the rest of my life life. It's so hard to end it. Every book has a chapter that gives highlight to it. Well i guess this is one of the highlights of my life. Well yeah, i have to admit it. Hahaha! It's just a few pages of my book but it's definitely one of the best and worst. Best because of complete happiness and love. Worst because of too much pain and loneliness.
It's hard to end this. Seriously. I'm always like, I.C.A.N.T.D.O.T.H.I.S but i have to carry myself and just treasure all the memories in this chapter.

Happy Christmas sweeties!
I got here facts about Christmas!!
1. Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph’s red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.
2. The Germans made the first artificial Christmas trees out of dyed goose feathers.
3. Christmas trees usually grow for about 15 years before they are sold.
4. The popular Christmas song “Jingle Bells” was actually written for Thanksgiving. The song was composed in 1857 by James Pierpont, and was originally called “One Horse Open Sleigh”.
5. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is considered to be the most popular Christmas song now.
6. The highest-grossing Christmas movie of all time is How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The Jim Carrey version
7. Christmas is a contraction of “Christ’s Mass,” which is derived from the Old English Cristes mƦsse (first recorded in 1038). The letter “X” in Greek is the first letter of Christ, and “Xmas” has been used as an abbreviation for Christmas since the mid 1500s.
8. The Christmas wreath is symbolic of Jesus. The red berries symbolize his blood and the holly represents the crown of thorns.
9. 25th December was not celebrated as the birthday of Jesus Christ until the year AD 440.
10. The “true love” mentioned in the song “Twelve Days of Christmas” does not refer to a romantic couple, but the Catholic Church’s code for God. The person who receives the gifts represents someone who has accepted that code. For example, the “partridge in a pear tree” represents Christ. The “two turtledoves” represent the Old and New Testaments.
Happy Christmas to everyone! May y'all spend your time with your family and loved ones! Let us remember that this is the day of our Savior, Jesus Christ! ☺

Film Analysis of Tim Burton's Beetlejuice
Description of style
Simple and straightforward is the best description of style. At first it is kind of tricky but as the movie goes you will find it easy to understand and you will already know what will be the ending. The problem is there’s no thrill in watching this movie but you’ll love it because it is a comedy fantasy film so there’ll be no dull moments while watching this. Another style is that this movie is light, comical and humorous. Light in a way that you will not feel the heavy drama even if the movie is about that couple who passed away in a car accident. Comical and humorous because it cause laughter especially by unexpected or unusual. There are scenes that will turn into laughter because Adam and Barbara will change their physical appearances into a monster in a funny way.
Subject matter
Beetlejuice is a horror comedy fantasy film. The story goes when a couple died in a car accident and found a 'Handbook for the recently deceased'. As we all know, Tim Burton's specialty is horror and fantasy kind of movies. This movie dealt with the couple on how are they going to protect their house since they are recently deceased. At first, the couple are not aware that they passed away. Soon after they discovered, things changed. The newly moved family in their house don't believe that the couple Adam and Barbara are just playing with them. The mission of the two is to scare them but they keep on failing and seems to be like a funny thing. Weird things happened when beetlejuice appeared. Beetlejuice, a freelance "bio-exorcist" ghost that appear when you said his name three times. When the family knew what is happening in the house they perform a spiritual action using the book to reincarnate the couple and to let them die again. Later on, the couple agreed to share their house to the newly moved family.
Cinematography
Since this movie was released on 1988, capturing the action of the actors, type of camera angle and lighting are in a process of enhancing. Objective camera was used in this movie. The only part when subjective camera was used is when the Beetlejuice narrate the story of his life. The arrangement of people is quite good. No one is blocking the camera and the other actor. Some arrangements of the objects are not parallel to each other and some of them doesn't fit on the frame. Talking about the type of camera angle, some scenes are inappropriate on the actions of the actors. There are scenes that the camera didn't capture the expressions of the actors. When it comes to lighting there are scenes that the light wasn't established. If you will give time to take a look at every scene you will find out that some scenes doesn’t have the proper lighting. Most of the time it’s too dark.

I just want to become a superhero
Time flies so fast when i realized that i want to be a flight attendant. Maybe because people always told me to be an FA that's why my mind was molded to choose this profession. But later on i decided to be a chef because i love experimenting foods. Well actually not love, i just like it or i'm just kinda interested to this craft. Unfortunately cooking doesn't like me. I tried to cook mac and cheese once then i let my family taste it. They really find it bad. I used ready to cook sauce for that mac and cheese but it doesn't taste good.. FOR THEM. Cause for me, it taste just like mac and cheese. Hahahaha!!
During the middle of summer vacation getting ready for my first year in college i already completed my mind. I already got a chance to think of what i wanted to be in the future and that's film director. I love writing stories. I love creating scenes in every people or situation i am encountering. I love making up stories every night before i go to sleep. I love making "what ifs" everytime i am talking to someone. I love dreaming of a perfect movie with me as an actor, director, and script writer. Wow that's hard hahaha. I'm an auteur now. Well that's my basis for choosing this field.
The end where I begin
I swear i saw you but you didn't saw me. As you drive your car passing by me my heart then suddenly stop. Three words in my mind that i let out, "OH MY GOD" As i saw you passing by i remember all the memories. I remember the first day i met you then we talked and laughed. The tension in your body that you can't control. The way you speak stutters. The way you move your eyes gives a feeling of nervousness. You can't barely move. You can't even drive your car because you were too afraid to make a wrong move. But as i remember those moments i can still remember the last day i hold you, the last time i kissed you goodbye. The day when you finally asked for your freedom that i can't give.
As the rain is pouring it gives a heartbreaking feeling because it reminds me of the saddest part of our love story. That's when you finally realized that you're no longer in love with me. You made excuses. Damn too many excuses. I actually don't know what to believe in those excuses. I keep on asking myself "Why does it have to end?" It took how many months for me to figure out the answer. Then i told myself "Everything has its own ending. You don't have to ask why. You just have to accept the fact that ending do exist."

Vivid
All of us have been in a chaotic situation in our lives. Well, maybe, some are just on their way to the real so-called LIFE. Some already came to the point of giving up at the early age. But life must go on. Seriously. For now it may seem to be in darker world full of hatred, anxiety, envy, suffering, pain. But when you're over it you will be able to say to yourself that "Oh god. I love my life!"
Have you ever feel like you're the only person in the world? I mean everyone seems to be a stranger and enemy for you. It's like you carry all the problems of all the people near you. It's like you feel so tiny and everyone's just stepping and laughing at you. When you try to speak it feels like there's a huge voice saying words like USELESS, STUPID, ASSHOLE, LOSER, WEAK then will laugh at you until you can no longer say what you wanna say. When somebody ask you on something and you can't even open you're mouth because you were too afraid to be rejected and you'll just wish to be swallowed by the ground. At this point in your life you were too afraid. Afraid in choosing the right words and actions. The level of your anxiety is really uncontrollable. It feels like all of your words and actions are wrong. You can't no longer recognize what's right from wrong. You just stuck yourself on a thought that everything about you is completely undefined.

Blank page
I'm staring at my blog.
I just can't think of anything that i can put in here. Well to tell you honestly i got tons of ideas everytime i'm away from my keyboard. I always picture my blog to look like this, to post about this and that, to share my deepest thoughts. But still, I'm staring at my blog.
You know that feeling when you think of an idea and you really believe that it is great to share it in your blog but you just can't. I really don't know why. It's all in my head. It keeps bothering my head. My imagination is absolutely giving me a feeling of assuming that i can post something on my blog that i'm really going to be proud of. But still, I'm staring at my blog.
Sometimes having too much ideas creates a messy concept. Too much ideas give you headaches because you don't know how to start. And when you finally started, you just don't know how to end it. Too much ideas give you a hard time to make every single detail comes out perfectly.
How do i overcome this writer's block?

Choice or Destiny
In life, choices are everywhere.
I remember when my professor once asked us if life is a matter of choice or destiny? In my mind, i instantly answered "Life is a matter of choice".
Some people says that life is a matter of choice. Others believe that life is not a matter of choice but a matter of destiny. I truly believe that if you want something to prove in your life you better make a move and start choosing the right choices. Life is full of choices.
Choices that will test our personality.
Choices that will serve as a guide.
Choices that will lead us to a right or wrong path.
Choices that will teach us good and bad things.
Choices that will make life complicated.

Sudden Changes
She's happy.
She's loved.
She's worthy.
She's contented.
Then it crashed.
She never thought that being happy will give so much loneliness.
She never thought that being loved will be the reason for unloving herself.
She never thought that being worthy will prove to her that she's worthless.
She never thought that being contented will make her depressed.
And now she never felt anything again.

"Too hard to let go"
Have you ever tried waking up in the morning without touching your phone? Without reading the messages? Without telling the world that you just woke up and says "GOOD MORNING WORLD! JUST WOKE UP ☺"? (Well to tell you honestly, i do this once in a while. HAHAHA) Without taking selfies and post it on social media with a caption "I woke up like this"? Without posting a photo of your breakfast? Without taking a photo of the places where you've been? (In fact, these places are just shopping malls, boutiques, restaurants and parks that we've been too) Without posting a photo of your ootd? Without telling your followers where exactly are you? Without reading the status and tweets of your friends and followers? Without liking and sharing videos online that you can relate to? Without telling the whole wide world all the things that you're doing?
THIS IS NOT AN ONLINE JOURNAL/DIARY.
