Darkness Fell - by Wolfgang

This is one of my favourite song... lyrics is really nice and it suites several parts of my human life.... human... hehe. just want to post this song.

Source Code - Redundant Scifi

The movie was just keep on repeating it's self and it's becoming redundant... boring and over looked. Although it's a sci-fi movie it's so amazing how the concept was developed. Who could think that dead people can actually convey to living peoples and save thousands of lives. It's was a story of a soldier who was quarantined to do the task. He woke up in a different body, he was tasked to look for the bomb to detonate and look for the culprit.

Because of too much repetition, the movie went from interesting to boring. It was fascinating how they developed software that can actually do stuffs like it. I can’t wait to see future scientific development... I just hope that everything is for the good of humanity such as these... saving lives of innocent people and making the whole world safe for the entire humanity.

Smoking - Puffs Your Life Away

YES IM A QUITTER!!! AND IT WASNT TOO HARD!!!

It's normal in society to socialise and blend in and in order for normal people to do that they need to do something unusual so others can recognise them. How is this related to smoking? Well it's quite simple, smoking is a blend in factor to socialise in a high stature clubs and people. Although people are looking after their health keenly but still heaps are still addicted and couldn’t live without smoking. Governments and Non – Government agencies are doing the best that they can to promote that smoking ruin your life, your family and your whole well-being. There are so many side effects thru smoking, in your later life you may have emphysema or lung cancer and you are not the only person who suffer but your entire family.

Who am I to judge smokers... I am nobody. Way back my teenage life I smoked a packet of cigarettes per week. I am attending pre-med school and majority of my classmates smoke, our reasons was clear --- we only wanted to ease the tensions in our brain. Although I know the effects of smoking I still looked at the bright side of it's worth. So, while studying and reviewing for exam I do smoke to keep me awake. I myself doesn’t want the smell so I preferred menthol that gives a bit of coldness. I was not afraid to get sick, I actually wanted to challenge my body if I will get sick but it seems that it is helping my breathing... as I have a bronchial asthma since childhood.

When, I applied for a job in pharmaceutical industry, I stopped smoking because I don’t want doctors to smell me like an ashtray so I stopped. It wasn’t that difficult to stop. I just decided to do it without any hesitations. Though I feel the withdrawal symptoms form cigarette I tried to neglect it's effect. Most of the time, you will see me having chupa chups stack on my mouth or any lollies that will prevent me from drooling. I was hard but I was able to cope up for just a few days but I need to relax, chill and nebulise because I was having an asthma attack. But, when I worked in call centre, I started smoking again. The feeling was great and absolutely fantastic. Cigarette is not that that expensive back home so I can consume 2 packets for a week. This time I’m having a lot of nicotine inside my lungs. When I had my usual x-ray, it didn’t bother me at all because my lungs is still in perfect condition, I know I have bronchial asthma but I do not have any episodes of attack when I am smoking. Maybe somehow it help immunes my body against pollutants.

Now that I am quite far away from home and cigarette is so expensive I decided to quit permanently. If you think about the positive stuffs that will motivate you from puffing your life away --- you can easily do it. Think about your budget... your health and well being... your family’s future! Ask yourself, what will happen to me in the future if I don’t stop smoking?. Yes, all of us will die but do you want to die in a more painful way? Do you want your family to suffer from financial debts because they wanted to save you? There are so many questions that you need to ask yourself. Smoking is not a solution to any of your problem... it simply puffs your life away.

My Father's Legacy

It was a winter Friday evening, I am considering to attend bible study every forth night to learn other people’s wisdom. Although I have a different religion they gave me a very warm welcome in the group. Status, education and achievement were disregarded as everybody opens their heart, mind and soul to the presence of God. I always believe that there is only ONE GOD and whatever name you call him it doesn’t matter to me.

Today’s topic was the continuation of the previous sharing, which I find very relevant in life. Guide questions have been raised and answered to our different point of views and shared our in most thoughts. Being a blessing to other is a very broad discussion that leads to different aspects of life. I been getting heaps of wisdoms that I can inculcate and practice while I am still living.

My father, Engineer Eliseo Madrigalejos Belen Jr was a Mechanical and Electrical Engineer who work with National Power Corporation in the Philippines. He was ambitious, intelligent, hard-working and patient person who loved his family dearly and had sacrificed everything to give us the best thing in life. My grandmother, Leonila, always tells me a story about my father. She said that my father is very industrious and would not stop until he finished what he started and gets what he want. From her story, he said that my father is obedient, kind and compassionate. When he was studying he will wake up early to help my grandmother prepare the stuffs need for their store. After his house chores were finished he then rush to school to study. My grandfather would tell me that he sometimes get upset with my father for staying late to study. He finished his study in Bicol University and luckily passed the board examinations then met my mother, Haydee in Professional Regulation Commission . They fell in love, got married and dreamed to build a family; there it came us... me and my sister.

The legacy of my father is the most precious endowment since birth. Carrying his name is the most difficult task that was bestowed upon me. When I was still a child, my father worked abroad to fulfil his dreams and give us a better future. When he came back, I was already in primary school and couldn’t even recognise him because I grew up not seeing him. As he work with the government he was assigned in different places where he needed to stay there for quite sometime.
There are so many similarities between me and my father, when you look at me you can see him in me... I exactly look like him... the way I walk, my built and even my gestures. We both love music... exactly the same genre! We both love books and one of our favorite author is Sydney Sheldon. We also share the same hobbies which are mind mapping while listening to music and doing something else.

Yes, I looked up to my fathers, his values and virtues are permanently implanted to me. All the things that he thought me are the only constant in my life. Though I can never turn back time, I know somewhere I will be with him, to enjoy each other’s company. I love my father so dearly and nothing... no one can change that.

But, what legacy will I leave when my human time is through? I honestly do not know. Only God knows. I trust Him with everything and lift up all my life to Him. I can’t thank God enough for giving me my wonderful parents especially my Father.

Hang Over

I am not afraid to watch movie alone! There, I said it clear! Heaps of people said that this movie was so hilarious and it would even let me roll in the floor while laughing? But, NAH!!!

Why Super 8?

Another family friendly movie from Steven Speilberg!!! A movie that should be watched with the whole family or friends. :)

I watched it last Sunday night in Event Cinema - Parramatta with my flatmates. Basically the movie was from the genius and imaginative mind of Speilber. The movie keep me thinking of unusual stuffs that was outside the earth. Is it possible that there are lives beyond us?.

The setting was dramatically cascaded in the late 70's. The story was all about the 6 teens - an amateur film makers, make up artist, actors/actress and special effect who were creating zombie movie. When they have the scene in train station, the was a massive explosion happened. Until there was a military invasion because the of the explosion and its like weird rubix cube have shattered all over the area. The Alien species doesnt want to hurt human being - he was doing it for his survival - although there were heaps of people being captured, the specie managed to express its feeling that he only wanted to leave earth and go back to his own planet.

It was so amazing how the alien spaceship was built and how the alien managed to leave the earth. He didnt mean no harm but it was his survival instinct. Honestly, it was the military's fault why it acted that way.

Lesson?. Yes, there is. I realised that family should always come first no matter how hard and miserable we are, like Alice's father who always get drunk and blame himself for those people he accidentaly hurt. He then realise and asked forgiveness. There are things and lives that we need to let go for everybody's benifit and freedom so we can go ahead and make our lives more productive and worthy. Joe's and his friend's bravery was remarkable, they risked their life to save their friend Alice... that is true friendship.

But, i still dont get it... why is the title "SUPER 8"?

X-men - My lazy review

Xmen – first class – my review

From cartoon series to movie.

The story was very well portrayed and wisdoms partaken. I can’t imagine how Erik aka Magneto had suffered torture, deprivations and violence during his childhood. Being separated to his mum caused his depression and anger thus unlocking his mutant ability... attracting and controlling metals. It was tragic and violent to see his mum being shot to his face because he was not able to move a single coin. Because of anger he unlocked his abilities. Meanwhile, Charles aka Professor X caught Raven aka Mystic, imitating his mum’s image, looking for food but since he is telepathic he knew that she is also a mutant. Instead of throwing her away Charles welcomed Raven to be his sister.

Erik seek vengeance against the people who molested him, he killed those people using his extraordinary ability while Charles because a professor who studied mutation and grew up with Raven with her side.

The story was awesome and if you listen and pay attention to their dialogues you will be amaze how inspiring and motivating the lines are. Like what Professor and Magneto said they are a better human... for me it means, since they have these extraordinary abilities they can do something to protect ordinary human beings. Although Charles know that they are turning against the wave, he is confident that one day... someday people will accept them and that they will not be considered as freak. Mystic, have a good heart, a loyal one who never leaves a friend behind. Beast, with all his great knowledge about science had the hardest time to accept his appearance. Other mutants are given their share to the movie, their powers are all good although it will not level or exceed the ability of Charles and Erik. They were very good partner but they have different beliefs.

For me it was a bit boring but because of the scene or the time it was shot. The graphics are alright but not that much action compared to other X-men movies.

Massage - Ease the Pain Away

Yesterday i was feeling terribly ill because of flu. The weather was changing and my body couldnt bear the coldness of first winter days. I need to get up after very long hours of sleep to do something to make me feel relieved.

I went to Parramatta Westfield to look for a massage clinic as this is my comfort zone when i feel so sick and do not want to take any form of medicine. I was already eyeing the massage clinic next to Australia Post and decided to give it a try. The place is called Herb Steam & Massage.

The ladies on the reception is very accomodating and hospitable, the place was design with authentic chinese touch which is enticing to my eye. It took me several minutes to decide which service should i try, i was choosing between whole body massage which is affordable for $60 an hour or the Hot or Essential Oil Massage for $78 an hour. And since I am on minumum budget chose the whole body massage which i think, will relieve me from my terorizing agony and suites my budget. When you enter the glass door there are several room/spaces for massage. I didnt asked the name of the Lady who massage me, she was good and nice. She was able to pin point the achy parts and removed the muscle pains.

After my one hour pampering in massage, i didnt feel any additional headache or sudden change of gravity in my body. I felt so relax, relieved and revive. I have been in different massage places and this i can assure you that you will feel relaxed, pampered and energise after.

I am looking forward to try other services from Herb Steam & Massage soon... when i have budget again. :)

Should you want to know the address its: Herb Steam & Massage, Next to Australia Post on Level 1. Its near food choices. they have different varieties to choose from that will suit your pampering needs. :)

My weekend getaway!

After a very exhausting week from works it's time to chill and relax from stress and stressors in everyday’s hassle and buzzles... I was suppose to go to AMF Bowling Place in North Strathfield for a birthday celebration but I can’t contact anybody... so I decided to go and watch movie in Reading Cinema on Rhodes and watched Pirates of the Carribean – On Stranger Tides.

I enjoy Johnny Depp’s movies, he is one of a kind actor who plays versatile roles such as Captain Jack Sparrow, I can’t adore him enough for portraying his role adorably.

The movie has breath taking views from oceans to forest to rivers beaches. Jack Sparrow being the legendary slicky pirate happen to be in London to save an old fellow for being hung. Unfortunately, they were captured by a King who wants to hold an expedition in search for the Fountain of Youth to be led by Hector, who lost Jack’s ship --- “the black pearl” and his leg. Captain Jack Sparrow, who seem not interested helping them in the expedition escaped and found his father, who warned him about the Fountain of Youth. Wanting to know the where about of Jack Sparrow, Hector’s troops captured Gibbs who happen to have the map. Gibbs destroy the map and forced Hector to let him join his expedition.

Angelina, the former lover and daughter of Blackbeard was the one who is impersonating him to gather pirates who will be her slave on her expedition. Jack was being captured and force to work for Blackbeard. During their journey, Jack learned the things that he need to know, like the chalice that belongs to Juan Ponce de Leon and a mermaid’s tear. The person who will drink from that chalice with mermaid’s tear will gain youthfulness and the other one who doesn’t have the tear will die and sacrifice his life. They passed the Whitecap bay to catch a mermaid where they successfully did. On their journey in search for the mountain, Jack was sent to look for the chalice hidden at Juan Ponce de Leon’s ship. There he meet his old fellow Hector who is also searching for the chalice but the Spaniards already have it so they teamed up and plan how to retrieve it. While scaping the Spaniards outnumbered them and make them prisoner. Hector, confessed to Jack that he is not after the fountain but he wants revenge. Slicky Jack again manage to escape from captivity and run away from the Spaniards together with Hector’s troop, meanwhile, the mermaid, Syrena was forced to gave her tear as his apple of the eye, Philip was being battered and almost die.

Blackbeard, Angelina and their troops continue their search for the fountain as Jack and Gibbs return from the forest. He negotiated for his compass and to free Gibbs in exchange for chalice. While walking, Jack noticed something unusual... a drop of water flowing against the gravity. They found the fountain by saying the magical word “aqua de vida”.

At the fountain, they were attacked by Hector’s troop and the Spaniards who destroyed the Fountain, believing that it was against God’s will. While they were all fighting Philip returned to where they left the mermaid to save her. Hector stabbed Blackbeard with poisoned sword that wounded him and her daughter Angelina. Jack looked for the chalice to save Angelina. The place was all wreck as the Spaniards leave the place. Syrena, found the chalice and told Jack not to spoil her tear, in slight panic Jack immediately fetch water from the destroyed fountain and drop the tear on once chalice. He gave the chalice with tear to Angelina and the other to his father who were both wounded and poisoned. A sudden rush of water took Blackbeard’s life sparing his daughter’s life. Syrena came back to heal Philip.

Overall, the movie is fantastic. The action and adventure was awesome for people like me who like this kind of movie, everything was portrayed well. I do recommend this movie for the whole family, surely the kids will love the movie. Johnny Depp is amazingly charming and adorable in this movie. Penelope Cruz doesn’t look pregnant in this movie and everybody is great!

Gregorian-Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day)

Single

Which relationship status are you?

 One of the never ending trend in the society is relationship. You’re “in” when your in a relationship but you’re “out” when you are single. People criticize you left and right. Some are happy, some are jealous but at the end of the day you have to prove to your self that he/she is the one.

I was very young  when I had my first boyfriend, I can say it was a peer pressure having one, but it didnt last long. I dont want to be tied up with anything or anyone.  My first official relationship was when I was in College, I can still recall our kindie days when we were classmates and during our elementary days when I hated him because of his “big head”. We were happy but life isnt always like that... we need to part ways. Then, I got married, the relationship didnt work out because of differences that caused havoc to both sides. 

Right now, I am taking refuge from my new friends, I proved how difficult it is to live alone but then I know God will not let me down. God have a purpose for giving me this test. Although they say that life will be happier with a partner or with a special someone, I understand that this is the usual typical cycle of being a human but we also need to understand that there are some instances that a person will be better off alone. Lonely but if you want to think and do things independently without hurting anyone else's feeling well it's better to be single. For the meantime I prefer to be single to mend out all the pain that I have kept inside me.I want to be prepared, should the right one come I can assure him that I am no longer keeping any pain from the past.

Maybe time will come, perhaps, I will meet him, my knight in a shining armor, someone who will wholeheartedly accept my past as past and my present as present, someone who will support our future and be each other's inspiration and light.

Help me God.

My First Bible Study - Part 2

During the bible study I learned a lot of things on being grateful to God's blessings. ... I realised how blessed i am despite the trials bestowed upon me. I can't thank God enough for directing me to different people from all walks of life to help and guide me during my darkest days. Most of all I thank God for giving me enough encouragement to continue the things that I am doing and for enlightening my mind on how things should be. I am simply gratefull because without Him I will be nothing.

As mentioned in Psalm 112:4

" Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full ofcompassion, and righteous."

and in Psalm 112:10

"The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish."

I know this will end soon, God want me to rely and trust Him with all my heart and mind. What I am experiencing right now is out of my hand and all i can do is to lift up everything to the Lord God Almighty I know that he have a purpose for this.

I thank my boss and my friend Lady for inviting me, my spirit was filled with new lesson and brand new energy, and to everybody who was so hospitable and gave me the warmest welcome. All i can say is THANK YOU and may GOD continue to bless you!!! Cheers!!!



Limitless

It was quite amazing to watch a medical thriller movie having a realistic theme. I read several books with the same theme but few of them were shown thru film. This movie, "Limitless" has a distinct theme. Eddie, a writer who has experience a turmoil in his life finally had a chance to change everything with the help of a "neuron stimulating pill" aka NZT. The pill was like ecstasy... it gives boost to your serotonin and the brain function was extremely great but it was addicting. Of course, heaps of scenes happened in the movie but i was good... really good.

Maybe somewhere, there was already a drug being develop to help the brain function this way as a matter of fact there are memory enhancers that are being sold to the market such as ginko biloba, glutaphos, ginseng and others that helps in memory enhancing. Should there be a pill that function exactly like NZT it will be a great boom in pharmaceutical market.

My First Bible Study

I attended the first ever “bible study” in my life. I was anxious about it as it will be a new experience for me. I grew up and raised as a catholic but I never close my horizons to other religion.I only believe in one GOD and it doesn't matter what other people call him. I met different people from different walks of life, of course I was shy but they were so hospitable and made me feel welcome. I admire the “praise review”, it was so interesting how they praise and thank God about simple miracles that he made every single day in our life.

What did I learned? You will soon find out.

"Standing At The Edge Of The Earth"

One of my favourite song by Blessed Union of Soul. This was way back when i was in Secondary School.

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside
Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye
So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday
Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
I don't want to let you leave this way
I want you to know that I stand right by your side
And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll....
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth

Believing that one day you'll come back to me

I'll be standing at the edge of the earth

Hoping for someday
And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll....
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me

I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday
Waiting for someday Believing in someday
Praying for someday, I'll be....
Longing for someday Clinging to someday
Cherishing someday, I'll be....
Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday
Wishing for someday, I'll be....
Living for someday Counting on someday
Knowing that one day....
I will see you

I'm CRAVING!

I'm Craving!!!

Something Borrowed - Official Trailer [HD]

This is a MUST SEE MOVIE!!!

The story is simple but cute... there are some scenes that you can relate especially when you are hinding your feelings towards someone... who ever that is, its none of my business!

Enjoy the movie... I WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN!!! CAN I? CAN I? CAN I?

My Mum

She may not be the best but for me she is the greatest! She may not be perfect but I will still always choose her to be my Mom... That's how life is, making perfect thing in the most imperfect circumstances.

My Mom was the key why I am like this, I may frequently say this I am not like her but I was starting to realize... I'm exactly her. I have her attitude towards everything especially the way I decide and her cleanliness habits are with me. I am the most stuborn person that she know and I let her down most of the time...But no matter what I love my Mom.

Hay

Today, i almost have a heart attack! I cant believe it. I desperately need to win the LOTTO this Saturday!

Corazon

I was influenced by a very beautiful and wonderful friend to blog the thoughts that i've been keeping on my mind (which is quite stagnant right now) to release the tension or stress or whatever you call it. So, here i am giving it a try if i can maintain this "new planned hobbie".

Basically, I have no idea what will be the thought or the goal for this... i am open for suggestions... anyone?

But beware, I am a very LOUSY writter... I'm not good at this but this is a way to express myself.
