They Kiss Again


"If I will be blind, I would like someone to lit my way."


I was so totally crashed and touched on the ending of "They Kiss Again", the second sequel of the popularly known "It Started With A Kiss".


Unfortunately, kanina ko lang siya natapos. I was so hooked up watching it on YouTube and I tell you, isa akong matinding tamad because all I did was to watch the sequel. :


I can't believe a Taiwanese drama made me cry! I was crying because I was so touched! Imagine, there are more sequels who are awarded in the Oscars that made professionals cry, but with this sequel, it made me cry, bigtime!


I was uncontrollable and I really like the sequel.


The thing that made my heart jumped out was the fact that she has this rare genetic sickness that will suddenly lose her sight. It involves the cornea and the retina. What I stood up and became proud of her is that, she isn't sad and scared because she won't see light, she is scared of what might happen to her and Zhi Shu's children. That she might be a big burden for Zhi Shu.


I can't wait for the next show. It will be released on the first month of 2010 and the taping would be on the last month of 2009.

Survival

"I can't bear to lose her"

I want you to know the story that once knocked me down but then, brought me back to life.

My family has a medical history, tumor. Actually, it was on my mother's side. But knowing this, I don't really care because it hasn't happened YET.

It was around 2004 when my mother joined the badminton team in Manila. She loves badminton and it is her way to make her body slim. *She's super sensitive on what she eats and sometimes, don't eat at all!* She practices everyday with my auntie and I never saw how she played since I was busy studying at school.

My dad used to fetch her at around five in the afternoon. Then we'll go outside and eat dinner. It was just like an ordinary family celebrating everything life has to offer them.

One day, she was playing badminton when she hit her head badly and fell backwards because of her wrong swing. She told me it didn't really hurt so we thought that she's going to be fine.

Months have passed, when she started hearing sounds in her right ear. Sounds like starting the engine of the car. Because my dad was worried, he decided to take her to the hospital, again.

I was little back then. They started leaving us with my grandmother. We sleep there almost everyday and because I don't know what is really happening, I started to have some sleepless nights.

One night, I happen to eavesdrop on what were they talking about. My grandmother and my dad.

"Mommy. Si Cristy po kasi may brain tumor."

He paused.

"Gusto pa nga pong ipadala siya sa Chicago. Dun lang daw po magagamot."

He was sobbing. I can hear.
"Eh 'di maghanap na lang kayo ng magaling na doctor dito sa Pilipinas."
My grandmother replied.
They were worried about us. Dad can't leave us in our grandmother's house for a long time when they are in Chicago. He suspected that we will be questioning what happened.
I though they had a long search of good doctors. Thank god, my other auntie was the one who makes test for doctors so she know good doctors A LOT.
They've found one. I mean two.
Dr. Nathaniel Yang. What I know is that he is a ENT.
I don't know the name of the other guy since the only one I saw was Dr. Yang.
But the problem isn't over yet.
All I remeber was that, we still sleep on my grandmother's house. (By the way, it is in Madaluyong.)
The only thing I remember is that when mom was half-bald *Nah, I don't know the term! Haha.* and that she can't move her head backwards since there's still bandages on her upper right ear.
AND I WAS THANKFUL THAT I HAVE TO SEE HER AGAIN!
She told us about what happened to her. My dad told us that those days where the most tragic days of my mom. The surgery was so complicated and it cost a hundred thousand? You don't wanna know.
"I was happy God gave me a chance to have a mother. Though, she makes me feel sick sometimes, I am lucky because I have her."

Supernova Snow Cup

"The Slurpee Experiment."

Buy a slurpee. It can be found at 7 eleven. Accidentally (Really. ACCIDENTALLY) leave it for 4 hours and meron ka nang Supernova Snow Cup!

Reminder:

Kailangan Supernova ang flavor ng Slurpee or the instant dessert title will be ruined, okay?

Most effective:

After dinner. Brain freeze. :)

When is it enjoying to eat:

During the Season Finale of American Idol: Season 8 when KRIS ALLEN was announced as the winner. *So LOVE Kris Allen.
Warning:
Pakisabi sa katabi mo na "Back Off" especially if it is your worst enemy. He/She may kill you if you spill the Supernova Snow Cup to him/her.
How will you eat it:
Instead of the straw, try using the spoon so you won't get irritated.
Enjoy. >.<

Tokwa Tokwa

"I know the title isn't lovely but what can you do?! I am laughing out loud! X)"

Today was a disaster. I was pissed off this morning because of my dad, who kept on teasing me. He acts like my little brother. All they did was to make my world miserable.

I enrolled last afternoon. There were not-so-many people and all I can say is that time was chasing them. Not all. Just some.
Nah. No special event. I walked like a lesbian because I was so sleepy. I didn't even noticed how'd I look after sleeping in the car on the way to school. I just felt so sleepy.
About the title of the post:

Well we ate a preservative-rich burger which is available on all supermarkets nationwide. My daddy told us that it can't be pure meat. There's tokwa in it. You know what's tokwa? You don't? Then, you don't. Search it. (This ISN'T a joke. Feel free to laugh if you want.)

Another post: Eat Your Guilt

"Yesterday, I was so blessed because grandmother did help us."

As I was saying, I feel so thankful that my grandmother did help us (In a way) but I forget to say THANK YOU!

The heck! Kinakain akong buo ng konsensya ko!

Last night, I slept past 2 o'clock in the morning because I haven't said thank you to my grandmother! I was panicking and I can't breathe because there's no air to breathe! I was stuck in a room full of dust particles causing me to sneeze! It was a sleepless night. *Isn't it obvious?!

I planned to relax myself and then tell thank you on the phone the following day.
"Guilt can KILL you especially during the night. :Believe me. It's true."

Korean Prince.

*The only Korean Guy that I find cute. :))

"I glanced over the show and I find him interesting. Haha"

I don't really watch "Boys Over Flowers". I just happened to travel around channels and then stopped there because I have nothing else to watch. :)

He is so GREAT. :P He is into arts, particularly pottery. (He is into arts on the show, I don't know if he like arts on real life. :P)

You know how I LOVE arts. :)

He plays one of the FORMER famous group of guys which particularly originated from Taiwan, F4.


Well, he's good looking. Doesn't have a heavy face. *You don't know what I am talking about. :P

AND he is cute. Haha.

"So much for wishing a prince would come and save me. *Why would he save me, anyway?"

Home Sweet Home

"Today, I was inspired by Carrie Underwood's songs."

It was a slow day. All I did was to sleep. I was a sloth and I was sinful. So, with a day so slow and has no meaning *I learned how to make Shanghai rolls without tearing the rice wrappers. :P* I listened to Carrie Underwood's songs. :)

I like this song the most:

Lessons Learned

From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
From every change life has thrown me
I'm thankful for every break in my heart
I'm grateful for every scar
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned :')

AND

Starts With Goodbye

I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bittersweet.

The simple lyrics brought wonders that life isn't all about what you think it is. There's more in it. You can't stop living if you think it's the end. You have a whole world. Don't you want to keep hold of it into your hands for a little while?

There's a song that will lead you to realizing, IT'S JUST LIKE MY LIFE. It's like a story, the melody in your ears, telling of how you've been strong to get through and you've got to reward yourself for it.

Live, Laugh and Love.

>.<

Granny One Foot

"Everyone relies to our grandmother. I think she's the modern superwoman. Only the older version. Haha."

Grandma was the only one left that I have to respect. She raised my mother and my uncle. She was strict since my mother kept on telling that she used to chase them around the garden with a long, long stick whenever they forget to do their homework. Haha.

She does all the household work flawlessly except of her impairment. She has one foot. *as said in the title. But, her, being a one foot, she is a LOT! She's a bad one foot! Haha.

I love it in her house because it makes me feel nostalgic. There's the past here in there. Her cook was the best cook you'll ever have. The household workers were like my friends and most of all, the garden was so huge and beautiful, you can ride a bike. I love her dogs. One of them is SJ. Juan for the longer name. The "S" stands for Saint since he came from San Juan, Manila.

I LOVE every bit of my grandmother.

Now, everyone relies on her. She needs to help us. Literally.

I wish God make it happen. Let her be the instrument of yours. >.<

Share it with others

"You can't be a balloon; just collecting gases without releasing it. You can be a balloon, somehow, when you get full, you can blow it back."

Anger goes a long way if you don't know how to control it and now, I am so full. X(

I feel so bad. Good thing there's a friend who I talked with and Kris Allen to make me feel better. Haha. :)

The Best


"Yesterday was Mother's day. The least I know is that we made mom TIRED. :))"
It was sunny. It wasn't an ordinary day. It was Mother's Day! Mother's day don't mean a thing to me *not until now* because I remembered:

Around May 2004 when I decided to buy my mom a gift but she's with us in the grocery store (Rustans in Shangri-la Mall), so, meaning, she won't be surprised.

I decided to go to the other counter where I could be as far as mom is. I bought her something.


It was a long queue. I was getting nervous. "Baka makita ako ni mommy! Baka malaman niya!" I was looking at the person infront of me with furious eyes that he made his way walking faster. Then, it's my turn. I purchased then followed them. They are waiting "Ano yang binili mo?" My mom asked. "Candy lang po." I answered. I waited 'till we finished shopping then reached the car. We packed the groceries we've bought and then, went inside. It was a long ride until we reached home. That's when I told dad that I should be giving it to her. *kasangkot ko si daddy.


Then she received it. She asked. "Ano 'to?" She stared at it and then said "Dapat iba na lang ang binili mo. Anong gagawin ko dito?"

Of course, I was little and young back then so I started to cry. It broke my heart for her having been said those things. I've tried my best to buy her a gift but then she refused to take it and she teased it. I was so sad. I was in tears. I was soaked with tears!


Then...

My dad was laughing. My mom is laughing too. Wait? Was this some kind of a joke? Then she said. "Joke lang naman. Thank you!" She gave me a kiss.

Mothers have their way of showing love and affection for their family. We may not see it or we may have ignored it but they are trying the best they could to really show how valuable their family is to them.

AND That's why I don't give gifts to her during Mother's Day. As a result, she's the one treating us! She buys us what we want.

See? It's her day but what she know is, It's her family's day. :')

I loved my mom more than anything in this world and I am very thankful for the care and love she have showned upon us.

It's Goodbye


"I just can't accept the fact that I made it through! I got over you!"

I was just so happy that everytime I remember the memories we've had, I can't picture his face. I can see what he was doing but all I see is the memory. Not the face.


I have deleted everything that makes me remember him. The picture phone was empty from the wrecking, heart-breaking fact I have known from the past few months. I have thrown letters that makes me feel I should come back to you. I have been stupid for burning up the papers and doodles during C.L class that had your name over it. *Yeah. I usually waste a pad of Intermediate paper during CL time. I posted this just now because I know that I am really over him.

It's hard to tell since I still cry at night on what had happened to my life. My life has been silent since I was Level 7. Not until now. Not until "The IT" happened.


But this changes brought me to a new home. New friends. New life. I've become a once emotional-at-heart girl into something who-would-laugh-out-loud-at-the-middle-of-silence girl. *Woah! That's long!

I saw the world. I've become aware. I was REBORN.


I crazily talk to my mom like: Yow! What's up? and she just laugh out loud and reply to the same language. I am still a Home Girl but I like watching movies in THEATERS now. My parents gave me freedom. *Somehow. I can walk from La Salle to McDonalds without fear of getting hit by the bus! I was NEW and I was so happy!

I thank my parents for having been there. They have been supporting though it made me feel they are betraying me but now, I know.

"He is not my world. I can have a world wherein someone would be happy to share it with me."


"He has his own world that maybe he would like to share to someone else and I am HAPPY! So HAPPY for him. :)"

Sick.


"I feel bad that my little brother is sick. It seems that he is the only guy who understands me here. *even though he really doesn't. He's a baby! I don't want to talk baby language. It doesn't make sense to me.)

He has been sick for three days. With continuous fever and he doesn't have the appetite. He eats barely which is unusual. (He eats everything in the table) He still laughs out loud and a consistent talkative boy but he can't talk while walking now because he is in bed. :)
I want him to get well soon so I am doing my best to take care of him. He is my stuff toy during the night. :D

"Take Care"

Make It Good

"I always hated being the eldest among my siblings. Aside from decreasing human rights, they tend to piss me off despite of the fact that I work for them really, really hard."

Today, I was totally pissed off because of my sibling, Matthew. He tries to knock off my head and then burst my bubble. He messes up my personal stuff, tease my room for having been so dirty for a couple of months and then find something interesting about my ex-crush!

It makes me feel bad that my own brother wants to be part of my life. He is part of my life, only in other way.

I have this Level 7 scrapbook and there are dedication on it and letters last, last recollection. (I was was so lazy to make a scrapbook for Level 8) He read all of it! ALL OF IT! *The accent here was like Josh Nichols of Drake and Josh. Haha!

Was that really stupid for him to do?!

I don't like it when he does all this stuff because it makes me feel that I don't trust him anymore. (Well, I never really did). but he is my brother, I am his older sister. I take responsibilities. He follows what he needs to.

That's it.

Try Again

"Insecurities bring people's self esteem down."

I can't believe what happened to day aside from the fact that our own Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao defeated the English boxer, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. Three cheers for Philippines! PILIPINAS!

The one I can't believe is the uncontrollable attitude of people here in the house. (Well, it is only my mother) I loved my mother. She is our savior. She is our understanding friend but sometimes, you can't get enough from her.

*I am writing this because of the upcoming Mother's day.

We try to understand why our mothers have shot gun mouth that seems can't go lack of saliva but it is their nature and I love hers.

I usually joke her around. I can make her day laugh out loud. I don't even care if I am saying things at her woth "po" or "opo".

To be continued.
