An Expensive Dinner Date

Me enjoying my sizzling steak yummy!

Afternoon of April 23rd, me and Sharon were eating at Mc Donalds when a guy approached me and gave me a dozen white flowers. I checked the card and to my surprise it was from my sweety. I had teary eyes and I felt like a star because people were staring at me. After a few minutes, my boyfriend came and hugged me. He asked me if he could bring me to a place where I haven't been yet, I answered yes. He told Sharon that he will bring me for a dinner. So, we left Sharon and went to Sarung Banggi Restaurant, a romantic place for a dinner date. The waiter came and gave us the menu. I was shocked to see the prices! I was so shy to order, but then my boyfriend told me to order whatever I want. So since he seldom give surprises, I ordered a sizzling steak hmmm yummy! And he ordered Teriyaki steak. The food was expensive, but it's worth it. They are so delicious and mouthwatering! I love you sweety! That was the best dinner date ever! mwah.

Another Lomography By My CoiCoi!!!

Hi! I just want to share another nice shot by my sweety Coicoi! This picture was taken few weeks ago while we were walking along Magallanes street. He saw this pay phone on our way home and wanted to have another lomography picture. Since the street was empty, he took the opportunity to have numerous shots of it and this picture is just one of his nicest shots. This picture was taken using his Canon 400DSLR camera. How about you, what can you say about this huh? So proud of you sweety! Wabwab!

THE PROMISE BY: KAI

I turn back the hands of time
To see what I’ve left behind
All the memories within my heart
And deep within my mind
I see all the hardships I’ve endured
And I rest assured that youll be there beside me
Like youve always been time and again

And with all thats said and done
Youve always been the one
To hold me on those rainy days
When I couldnt see the sun
And when all the clouds dissappear
And the sky is clear
And I feel your love shining down on me
Without your love where would I be

You were the one
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was your love that gave me light through my darkest time
You were the one
What youve given me I can never repay
All I could give to you is my loving embrace
Cuz I live to see the smile upon your face
Day by day

I promise to go on
Until my race is won
And the knowledge you have given me
I give to those I love
And I’ve learned that if I do succeed
Then I shall recieve the promise of a brighter day
You give me hope, you give me faith

You were the one
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was your love that gave me light through my darkest time
You were the one
What youve done me I can never repay
So I live my life ? ? ?
Cuz I live to see the smile upon your face
Day by day

Your love has always pulled me through
And when I felt the hope was gone it was only you
Until my dying day my heart will always be
And I’m so thankful for all the love yourve given me
Now I see

You were the one
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was your love that gave me light through my darkest time
You were the one
What youve done for me I can never repay
And I wont I promise you today

Cuz I’d die to see the tears come down your face
So I live in you I will live in your name
The rest of my days...

Dont u cry no more..

Late this evening a friend asked me if i know this song. When she mentioned the song title and the artist i remembered someone from my past. He sang this song to me and his voice sounded just like the voice of the artist. I actually love this song so much before. But Hearing this song made me realize that love songs could also turn out to be the saddest songs...

Well, what's done is done and what's from the past, belongs to the past. At Least right now I am happy and contented with my sweety kiat coicoi... I could not ask for more! I love him so much!

For The Best Film Director In DC!

Tomorrow is a special day! My boyfriend and I will be celebrating our first year anniversary. Before going to his office, I went to the mall early this afternoon and looked for the book entitled "Trip To Quiapo" by Ricky Lee. The book is actually a scriptwriting manual. Since he is a film director, I want him to have a copy of it for him to enhance his skills and knowledge in directing films as well as in scriptwriting. The other book is entitled "True Grit" by Debora Meroff. The story is about the problems, struggles and experiences of 9 different women in different countries. He loves books, poems and short stories, I hope He'll like the gifts!

Kid’s Question #1

If you were the ruler of the world and you could have anything you wanted as well as have people do anything you wanted, do you think you would get greedy and mean or would you be a good and fair ruler?

My Answer:

If I would be given a chance to be the ruler of the world, I think I would be the happiest person and I'll have to be a good model and a little bit strict but not mean and greedy so that my followers will do things as I say and obey me. Being the ruler of the world, i will not abuse my authority.

?!?!?!?!

I feel so down and sad last night. I had a petty argument with my boyfriend. Though we had a lot of things in common, we sometimes have misunderstandings. Entering into a relationship means that you should be ready to love and be loved, to trust, to change and adjust, be strong in every trials and problems that you will encounter, but mostly be ready to get hurt. When you love, you should accept the fact that love is always accompanied by hurt or pain.

I couldn't concentrate on updating my post, I'm in deep sadness and so confused then realized that instead of updating posts I was like searching for sad quotes and poems. Some touched my heart, some made me realize about how my relationship with my boyfriend is going on. This one caught my attention. But does this give a message for me? Is it a clue? I'm in total confusion. I know there's no such thing as a perfect relationship, all I've ever wanted was to make him happy, satisfied and take good care of him but why does it seem to fall for the wrong side? Why does it seem to fall into pieces? I think we both need space and time for ourselves. I Still Love My Coicoi, hope things will be OK. If not now, maybe soon as long as it wont be too late before we get to patch things up.

LOST

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new.What is broken is broken- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Love is strong yet delicate. It can be broken. To truly love is to understand this. To be in love is to respect this. To love somebody who doesn't love you, is like going to a temple and worshiping the behind of a wooden statue ... of a hungry devil. When we are in love we often doubt that which we most believe.

The course of true love never did run smooth. To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best. Love without reason lasts the longest. Just because i smile on the outside doesn't mean that i am on the inside. Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.

What is the point of life if you are not spending it with someone you love?

FiLm DoCuMeNtArY WoRkShOp! DAY 2

April 13, the second day of the film documentary workshop! I'm so excited because Teng Mangansakan will be the speaker for the day. The topic will be about the elements of script writing and the importance of the script. I woke up late, i needed to hurry up so I wont miss his lectures. When i arrived, I'm glad that Teng hasn't started yet. They were having a film viewing.

After the film viewing, Teng opened the floor for questions And started discussing about what a script is, importance of script and the elements of script. Everybody was participating in the activities and was able to come up with nice ideas. but, some were getting sleepy and Teng hd been very patient and continued discussing. hehehehe...

FiLm DoCuMeNtArY WoRkShOp! DAY 1

April 12, It was the first day of the film documentary workshop. I was still sleepy when my boyfriend woke me up. Sharon, our friend was also still sleepy but we needed to prepare because we don't want to be late for the workshop. So we took a bath, dressed up, ate a quick breakfast and went to the IIPE where the workshop will be held.

When we arrived, we met participants from other places in Mindanao. Some were from Kidapawan and the others from Tagum. While waiting for the guest speaker, Teng showed us the Film Documentary of Mr. Dominic Morissette the "Afghan Chronicles". I was so amazed about how he did the film documentary. I was so excited to meet him and to ask him some questions.

After a few minutes, Mr. Dominic arrived. He was smiling and was happy to see that almost all of the participants were so interested in film documentary and were young. He discussed to us the difference of film and documentary. He explained why he did the documentary in Afghanistan and how he did the documentary. He entertained our questions and we were satisfied with his answers and was able to learn a lot from him.

We had a lot of fun and had the chance to take some pictures with him!
