Love & Other Drugs

"Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won't let anything, including a formidable personal challenge, tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie Randall, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love."  (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810116437/details)

This movie received alot of critics. But from what I have seen, this movie is interesting. Although the first part of the movie is boring. But when Anne gets to the scene, everything became sexy, funny, and dramatic. I actually watched it three times.

Problems

"Everyone experiences tough times, it is a measure of your determination and dedication how you deal with them and how you can come through them." --Lakshmi Mittal

I remember my grade school teacher telling us "Only the dead has no problem". Well, in my twenty-two years of existence I can say that she's right. Everyone in the world experience problems. Sometimes, a problem has a very easy solution and sometimes death is the only way, like what happened to Sec. Angelo Reyes. At this point in my life, I can say that my only problem is money. Of course, money is the major problem of everyone. Poor people have problems finding money while rich people have problems in spending them. But money is just an easy problem. If you know how to handle it wisely, it'll grow. A friend told me to save money. Even just a little amount of money  in every month. She is right. Thanks to her.

But what if money is not your major problem? What if its your husband, family, friends, or studies?

Having a problem that you cannot handle can give you a lot of stress. Don't forget, stress can give you heart problems. If you are having problems with your husband, think of what you can do to make him feel loved not to make him feel unloved. People usually gives back what you give them. So, as a wife, you need to learn what are his feelings, needs, and wants. Do you think he's gonna sleep with another woman if you sleep with him.

If you got a problem with your studies (well, i have problems before), you need to ask yourself why are having this kind of problem. Maybe you should learn how to manage your schedule to pass projects on time. Maybe you should get a tutor if you find a certain subject hard. Or maybe you should stop hanging out with your B.I (bad influence) friends.

Every person in the world, even the children, have problems. Problems are there to measure how strong we are. We don't usually think of this but I think we should give thanks for our problems because it makes us stronger than before. Don't ever think that life is unfair. Never blame your unhappy and miserable life to others because you are responsible for everything you do. Instead of blaming it to others or hanging yourself on the ceiling, find a way to ease the pain. Like what I said, every problem has a solution but never choose death as one. Death is a solution to  cowards. Are you a coward? I think not!

On My Way Home

One of my unforgettable experience inside the bus happened today. We usually take a bus in the Ortigas Terminal. We really don't like riding in an ordinary bus, one of the reasons why we go to Ortigas Bus Terminal. No ordinary buses allowed. Sometimes, we choose what bus to ride - Jayross, Keller, or Malanday buses. These buses are really clean and sometimes new. Unfortunately, we rode on a V-1 bus today. It looks old.  Maybe five years older and I felt  insects are crawling everywhere. As we approached Crossing, the MMDA (Metro Manila Development Agency) traffic agent talked to the bus driver and asked for his licensed. We knew already that this was gonna happen because the bus really stayed long on the terminal waiting for passengers. The passengers inside the bus were also  complaining about the long stay of it in the lane. For some reason that we didn't know, the driver wouldn't give his license to the traffic agent. The conversation between the driver and the traffic agent went long. The next thing we know is that they were shouting at each other. Many passengers were shouting "Bigay mo na kasi lisensya mo" (Just give your license). You can hear alot of complains inside the bus. Its like I'm inside a cockpit. On or about fifteen minutes later, the traffic agent left. Maybe he will just report the driver to their office. Luckily for everyone, there was no traffic so we still got home early.

I took a picture of the conductor but I pity him. He seems nice. Who I hate is the driver who didn't gave his license - the reason why we stayed long. I wish he will be suspended. He's got to learn a lesson.

Rules are meant to be obeyed. No one is above the law. But why do these kind of drivers intentionally broke traffic laws then get mad when caught? Sigh. I know they have family too but do they have to break the law just to feed their family?

Bonding Moments with Real Friends

Shirley and Leopoldo
You will never now when, where, or how your gonna meet true friends. I wasn't expecting to have bestfriends at my age. Well, I have few close friends before and ends up betraying me so I gave up looking for one. But I got lucky last year, I found not one but two real friends.

Shirley and Leopoldo were my classmates back in highschool. Shirley and I were already friends. We have the same thing in common - we love to eat :) Leopoldo was never really a friend to me before. We hardly had a conversation. He's busy wanting to be the class valedictorian. Haha. Unfortunately for him, he became the first honorable mention in our batch.

Our closeness began last year. It started when they wanted to hang out at my place. Hilarious laugh were made and after that, the closeness started. And we started to hang out whenever we wanted. Our gimmicks never ends without a laugh trip. I think that's the reason why we liked each other. :)

Me and Leopoldo
It's the first time we played badminton together. Haha. It was a blast. I really enjoyed every single moment of it. We got there (SM Mall of Asia - San Miguel By The Bay) at around 6:00 o'clock in the morning of 12 February 2011. Played badminton for more than an hour, I think. We strolled along the bay and eat chicken and rice at KFC for breakfast.

Look at him pose :)

Do you think he's gay? :)

Bored and Sleepy

I stayed up late at night watching Temptation of Wife. Its been a week now since I had enough time to sleep. It really affected me in the office. I feel so lazy and all I do is visit Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, and my e-mail. Why do I have to feel lazy. UUrrgghh! This is the feeling I hate so much. I don't wanna be lazy but I can't help myself. Oopss.. I hope my boss won't run into this blog :] or I am gonna get fired. HaHa..


Actually, I don't really have a lot of papers in my desk. But my boss gives me work once in a while. I was paid here to get bored. HaHa.. Yesterday, we had a filing to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in one of our handled case. It really drained my energy. I began to work at the first hour of my duty which is 8:30 o'clock in the morning. Took my lunch by 11:30 o'clock in the morning till 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon and finished my filing by 2:00 o'clock. I tried to rest to regain my energy and voila! after a few minutes I am fully charged. By 4:00 o'clock, I really got bored and made an article about Justin Bieber


-------anyway------------


I can't believe I can get fans and followers by blogging Justin Bieber. I should have thought of that before. But some my followers did not like it cause they are not a fan. To my followers out there, don't be sad I still have more in store for you :) Thanks for always asking for updates :)

Adam Sandler - Hollywood Walk of Fame :)

So, I was so excited when I saw the news that Adam Sandler received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Wow! I am so proud to be his fan. All his movies are funny and he got unique ways to make me laugh. He really deserved it. I wish he would make more funny movies which includes his best friend Rob. I'm wishing that Rob gets his star too.  :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Funnyman Adam Sandler finally has his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"Waterboy" costar Henry Winkler was part of the ceremony  Tuesday, as was Kevin James, who appeared with Sandler in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry."

"This is a big deal," Sandler said. "I feel honored and can't believe this has happened in my life."

The actor-comedian attended the ceremony with wife Jackie and their daughters Sadie Madison and Sunny Madeline in tow, pulling at his leg and asking to be picked up during the festivities.

"Let's hear it for my kids, who are now showing you that I cannot control them," he joked as he took the podium to receive the 2,341st star, this one in front of the W Hotel.

"All they ever did was make me feel like I'm good at things, and even when I was terrible at things made me brim with confidence," he said.


Sandler got his start in the early '90s as a writer and featured character on "Saturday Night Live," then grew to super-stardom with flicks including "Happy Gilmore," "Billy Madison" and "The Wedding Singer."

He has starred in 11 films that grossed $100-million-plus and will soon share the screen with Jennifer Aniston in "Just Go With It," which hits theaters Feb. 11. (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2011/02/adam-sandler-star-hollywood-walk-of-fame-1.html)

Tangled Movie Trailer


Forever grounded in the tower by her mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) spends her everyday life with her chameleon pet Pascal. Accidentally meeting the handsome bandit, Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi), the most wanted criminal in the kingdom, will help Rapunzel pursue her ultimate dream, to get out in the tower and see the floating lanterns in person. As soon as she stepped out of the tower, the fun-spirited teen princess will discover a land  where people are really loving and caring and will not take advantage of her hairs' magical healing power.

A hilarious movie with a  full twist. It will make you laugh and cry. Unlike the original version of Rapunzel, Tangled which was released by Disney, is a very funny and adventurous movie. You can see how the characters are changed. Rapunzel's  70 feet hair is very magical which turns into brown and loses its power when cut, her love interest is not a prince but the  most wanted criminal in the land, she is a princess here not like the original story which she is just a daughter of an ordinary family. There are no witches in the story, only an old lady with the desire to stay young forever. I love how Mandy played with her voice. She sings very well and her voice is very touching. The settings in the story are very creatively designed. 


TRIVIA: from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangled
Tangled is a 2010 animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film features the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, and Donna Murphy, and the film is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The story is largely based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. The film was originally titled and marketed as Rapunzel until it was changed to Tangled shortly before its release. It is the second most expensive film ever made, and it is the most expensive animated film, with a budget of $260 million.

Extraordinary Benefits from Extraordinary Fruits

We love to eat fruits. Bananas, apples, mangoes, etc. They are always available in the market. Fruits are part of our daily meal. It's either a part of your special diet or just an ordinary dessert. But do we know about their health benefits or what miracle they can do to our human body? Here are some fruits that can positively affect our body.


1. Banana - Banana is fruit that you can see everywhere. You can see it every season of the year. Banana contains glucose, fructose, sucrose, and fiber components that slightly prolonged source of energy. Banana also reduce depression. It contains tryptophan, an amino acid that converts into serotonin that leads to improved mood. Bananas also contains fiber which help restore a normal bowel function. Eating banana can soothe antacid effect (heartburn) on the body. B6, B12, potassium and magnesium helps the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal that can cause a person to quit smoking.


2.  Orange - Orange is rich in Vitamin C which protects our body against harmful element. Drinking orange juice makes an alcoholic person reduce his desire for liquor. Orange contains beta-carotene which protects cells from being damage and calcium for the protection of our bones and teeth. It also contains thiamin which converts food into energy. Orange is beneficial in asthma, kidney stone, bronchitis, high blood pressure and lower cholesterol level.


3. Apple -  "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Some research shows that apples may reduce the risk of prostate, colon, and lung cancer. Unlike other fruits, apple is very low in Vitamin C, but is a rich source of antioxidants.  Its fiber content regulates bowel movement. But apple seeds are mildly poisonous. Apple seeds contains a small amount of amygdalin, although not enough to be dangerous to man but can deter birds.


4. Grapes - Grapes has a therapeutic value that can be used to cure asthma. It increases the nitric oxide levels which prevent blood clots thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks. Pure grape juice (without mixing additional water) is an important home remedy for migraine. It also helps in constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia), and kidney disorders. Grapes contains Resveratrol which reduces the levels of amyloidal-beta peptides in patient with Alzheimer's disease. It can also prevent macular degeneration and cataract. 


5. Watermelon - Considered as a summer fruit. Most powerful antioxidants are found in watermelon. Because of its water content, it reduces the risk of dehydration. Don't think that only tomatoes have lycopene because it can also be found in watermelons which travel throughout the body neutralizing free radicals. Lycopene which gives watermelon its red color can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.  Watermelon is fat-free food but helps in energy production.

When To Feel That Your Boyfriend Is Cheating

Being in love is the best feeling anyone can feel. Love can  give many things in our lives. It can give happiness, hope, peace, and many other positive things. But love can also give you pain, suffering, hopelessness, and many other negative things.
But how do you know when is the time to feel that your boyfriend is cheating on you? Here some tips based on my friend's experience :). It's time to feel it when:
1. He doesn't let you borrow his cellphone - - One thing is for sure, he hides something from you. Maybe a sweet message from other girls or maybe a picture of them.

2. He has a lot girls in the past.  - - You are a very lucky girl if you can change your boyfriend's attitude towards flirting on other girls. But if you can still hear his friends cracking jokes  about some girls name, THINK! A lot of guys won't/can't share their friends' dirty secret with you so their way is to say it on a joke. Remember, jokes are always half meant. ;)
     
3. He is not texting you. - - Never believe in guys saying "My phone is low bat" , "I got no load to text you" or "I'm so busy". THE HELL! Never ever believe those lines. If a guy truly love and cares for you, he will find a way to communicate with no matter how busy he is.

4. He limits your time together. - - When he tells you that he can only be with you for only two hours today, ask why. Do his boss needs him? Are his parents sick? Or do he have a basketball practice? If you answered no to these questions, somethings going on. Remember this, a man who really loves you misses you and if he misses you, he can give up anything just to see you.

Those are just few examples. If you feel that he's cheating on you, confront him. Ask him what he really want. Maybe he doesn't want to break up with you because he wants you to be the one to end things up. Or maybe he's a born asshole. Its time to end things up. And when you got the chance to leave, never go back. History repeats itself.

Just Go With It Movie Trailer



I saw the movie poster of Adam Sandler's new movie, Just Go With It, at the backside of the bus early morning. It really caught my attention because I super duper love Adam and I like staring at Jennifer's pretty face. Since it is not yet out in the (Philippine) cinemas I said to myself that I'm gonna have to watch it first before blogging it. But I really got excited so I googled the movie trailer.

Plastic surgeon Danny (Adam Sandler), is making up stories about his marriage to get girls with no strings attached. Until he met a young school teacher who caught his heart. All his lies comes back to him forcing his loyal assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to be his fake ex-wife. Things becomes more complicated when everyone heads to Hawaii for a vacation.


Just Go With It is a movie released in 2011 by Columbia Pictures and directed by Dennis Duggan (The Benchwarmers, 2006; You don't mess with the Zohan ,2008). Produced by Adam Sandler, Jack Giarraputo and Heather Parry).

Gulliver's Travels


"It's how big you are on the inside that counts"

Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) is a lowly mailroom man at a New York Newspaper in Manhattan. Because of his admiration to Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet), Gulliver will discover whats beneath the Bermuda Triangle, the undiscovered land, Lilliput. In this amazing small world, Gulliver is the biggest not just by size but of ego. He took credit of all greatest invention and included his self in historical events. He became a hero when he defeated Lilliput's longtime enemies and the Lilliputians were so amazed of what he did. But things changed when the small people discovered all his lies and who he really is and got sent to the world "no one dare go".

Gulliver's Travels is an old fantasy novel written by Jonathan Swift in 1726 (amended in 1735). The movie was directed by Rob Lettermen (the director of Academy Award nominated "Shark Tale") and produced by Jack Black.

I am so amazed with what Jack Black did in this movie. He doesn't need the looks because he got the talents. This movie made me laugh until the very end. The scenes were really funny especially when Gulliver teaches Horatio (Jason Segel) to court Princess of Lilliput (Emily Blunt) the daughter of the King Theodore (Billy Conolly).

I highly recommend this movie because it teaches every viewer to believe in their self and to believe in what they can do.
