Welcome to Mooseport !

It's Saturday! A lot of people might or ARE excited for the weekends but, i'm NOT. I have a lot of projects to do and i know that it's not going to be a relaxing weekend for me.
So, i got out of bed and turned the TV immediately. I went to several channels and finally stopped with Star Movies. i don't know what the film was but, the characters seemed interesting so i stopped for a minute and watched.
It was the movie, "Welcome to Mooseport",a 2004 american film starring Ray Romano and Gene Hackman and was directed by Donald Petrie (Thanks Wikipedia! xD)
The movie was about a former president, Monroe Cole and a plumber Harold Harrison who is set to battle head to head for the mayoral race in Mooseport and for the heart of the woman named Sally. As the story progresses, Harold or Handy realized that he really doesn't need the position but Sally's heart, ONLY her heart. So, on the night before the elections, he announced that he would be voting for Monroe rather than for himself. Monroe, trying to gain the people's sympathy, also told the people the same.
(Fast forward..)
Monroe was elected as new Mayor of Mooseport and found a new love in the person of her executive secretary, Grace. Meanwhile, Handy proposed to Sally who joyfully accepted the proposal.

The movie for me was great. It did not just tackle about love but also about life, that we should always live it keeping all of our principles in check, that no matter what happens, we should always live it with dignity and integrity. It also taught me that having enough is enough, that EXTRA things are just baggages along the way that would slow us down in our travel of life.

If you have time, go and stream or download the movie! I promise, it's worth it.

Now if you may, i still have a lot of things to do. That's it for Saturday! God Bless!
WHA!?

Fiasco

Friday. Evaluation day for P.E. , final quiz for Accounting Review, and a day for not-so-good events.
It turned out that after all of those arduous practices, our dance presentation wasn't good enough.
Though Sir T didn't give any comment about it, it was obvious that he really did not like it.
We were all over the place.
But, it's fortunate enough to know that it was just an evaluation and the final performance will still be on Friday, NEXT Friday. It was a good thing also that there were no other students or teachers watching, at least as far as i know.
We still have a week to polish all the steps and formation and I hope that the Final performance really turns out well.
10:30 am. It's Accounting review class already and i still hadn't mastered the tricky ways of 'Corporation'. Lucky enough, Sir M discussed to us a few points to ponder about the topic before the quiz began. And so it's QUIZ time :/ The first four transactions were relatively easy but the succeeding ones weren't.
I was in a complete confusion about everything. EVERYTHING. It was as if i haven't learned anything from our previous discussions. It was pretty disappointing . As in.
For the not-so-good events, let's just not talk about it.
Yep. They were that BAD!
Today was such a fiasco (a complete failure) and i just hope that i may be able to make it up for those unfortunate events. I'm just keeping my fingers-crossed hands together and praying that God may guide me to the right path and that i may be able to make good decisions in life.Always!

So that's it for today.
let's just smile and say WHA!?

;)

Everything is NOT what it seems.

What a day! There were a lot of movements, a lot of fats burned, and a lot of lessons learned.
So, I was late again. Yes, again. To say that i was late for a couple of times is even an understatement.
But that's not what i'm gonna discuss to you tonight.
1, 2, 3..
I have this classmate who is very..let say playful or.. yeah unruly. He is so loud and have this mannerism of touching someone's ear. I don't know why, but he does it to all of his friends. He even did it to me once. I can't say that he's annoying because i even laugh at his corny jokes every time. It's just that, he is TOO playful that no one really sees him seriously. But here's the thing. Just today, i have discovered that he can also be very gentle and very SERIOUS. It was not just me who noticed the change but also the others.
So what's the lesson? NEVER judge a book by its cover. You don't see everything just by looking outside. You have to get inside and go deep.
Indeed, Everything is NOT always what it seems ;)

Let's Get Loud!

Dancing is really something that i am so passionate about. I may not be the best dancer in the world but i am more than willing to learn and improve.
So, here's the story..
It turned out that out of 4 events that i have to go to, i have only made it to 2 and because of that, i got my or OUR punishment. Yep, it's OUR! Hahaha
The punishment? We should perform at least two ballroom dances. Honestly, it was more of a reward for me!
So there we were starting to plan something out. We were lucky enough that one of our classmates, Shiela Tadea, knows how to perform Samba. That's why we requested her to choreograph the dance for us, and fortunately, she said YES! a  not so resounding yes but hey, it was still a YES was it?
She choreographed our dance together with Kuya Ronaldo and we chose to have "Let's Get Loud" as our music.
At first, it was only me and my partner Claredine practicing but now, guess what? A lot have joined our group and it's a lot of fun especially that these people are also passionate about the craft.
After almost a week of arduous practices, we finally, as i would like to believe it is, perfected the dance and it's just a matter of time before our teacher evaluates us.So, wish us luck guys! Let's get Loud! Wha!?

What do i do if i only have 24 hours left?

All that’s Left

What if 24 hours is all that’s left? All that’s left for you to spare and enjoy? How would you spend it and make it worthwhile? All my life I have strived and did everything to fit in, be happy, and survive. It’s been almost like a roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs, full of twists and turns, which made my life exciting and terrific but, what if this life that I have now will be taken away from me within 24 hours. How would I spend it?

Most people would probably spend their last 24 hours freaking out, crying, and begging God for an extension but, I believe that if it’s really the end, we can’t do anything about it. It would be a waste spending all of your last hours crying and mourning. As for me, I would spend it and make it the best 24 hours of my life. So, let’s do the countdown! For my first two hours, I would spend it eating all of my favorite foods at my favorite restaurants and try eating those that I have never eaten before. Of course, I need a lot of energy for the coming hours and if the story that there’s no food in heaven is true, then I would be filling my stomach up good for almost like forever. For my next two hours, I would watch all of my favorite television shows, cartoons, anime, reality shows and even those tear-jerking drama series. I just hope that there are televisions in heaven because I would not want to miss an episode of those shows. After watching the television, I will sit in front of the computer and spend my next two hours surfing the net and watching all of my favorite videos on YouTube. Now, since I may not be able to personally bid farewell to all my friends, I will open my Facebook account and say goodbye to them. I will make a video thanking them for being into my life, for all the day and night outs, for touching my heart, for being an inspiration and above all for being a blessing to me. After that, I’m going to go out with my family and spend the rest of my savings shopping for them. We’ll eat, play and watch a movie or two. I could not bring those savings anyways!

                After four hours of family bonding, it’s now time for some alone time with myself. For the next two hours, I will go to the church, attend the mass, and confess all my sins so that somehow before I die, I die in peace. I will also pray that God protects my family from all harm and keep them inside the chambers of His mighty love and guidance including those who are dear to me and close to my heart. I will thank God for the gift of life that He had given and for guiding me in making it worthwhile. After that, I will go to an hour of tour to my dear Alma Maters in elementary, high school, and now in college. This would help me reminisce and relive the past that shaped me as to what I am today. The past that taught me a lot of valuable lessons that aided me in living my life. Then, I will go to different disco halls and bars and burn all of these fats through dancing and having fun by meeting other people. Who knows I might meet someone who’s on the same page as I am. After about an hour of wandering around, I will go home and help my mom do the household chores, the things that I should have started doing when I still had a lot of time. I will wash my clothes, wash the dishes and clean the entire house. Keeping myself busy would lessen the thought of me dying within just a few hours. Then, I will talk to my family and tell them how much I love them and how much I am thankful that God had given them to me. With the remaining ten hours of my existence, I will allocate two hours of it writing a summary of my whole life, my experiences and adventures, so that even when I’m gone they could still vividly recall all our memories and moments together, the laughs, the fights, the cries, and the smiles, that even strengthened our rapport. Then, what’s a better way to end my life than sleeping it all out? For the next 8 hours, I’m going to have my very last complete sleep on my bed. In this way, my death would not be that sudden and besides, who would want to bring eye bags and sleepy eyes in heaven? Of course, I would like to rest and recuperate my energy for I know that my next life would be full of great adventures and excitement!

Life is not about living long but living great keeping your principles and morals in check and living it with dignity and integrity. We should live our lives not just to be happy but to be alive.  No matter how difficult life can be, we should hold on to the one whom we get all of our energy from and that is God. We must always live our lives to its fullest even when 24 hours...
 Is all that’s left.



P.S. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to die yet. I still have a lot of foods to eat. WHA !?
