Life and love lessons from Star Cinema's "She's the One"

Isa ang Dingdong Dantes-Bea Alonzo-Enrique Gil movie na "She's The One" sa halos limang beses sa isang linggo ko pinanood na movie with different kinds of people, friends. Anyways, kahit alam kong iba't-ibang tao sila, kanya-kanya ng tastes, may common term sila na sinabi sa akin after the movie. They liked the movie and they will surely watch it again with their other friends. That's what you call word-of-mouth promotion went viral. 'Di ba?

I really enjoyed this movie. Typical story with happy ending pero galing lang ng pagkadeliver ni Bea, Enrique and Dingdong. The story is character-driven and strong pagkasulat ng characters nila.

Bagay kay Enrique yung role nya. Tawang-tawa ako nung nag-awww si David nung nalaman niyang wala pang experience si Cat. Enrique is really a cute guy, gandnag tingnan sa screen.

I was able to watch "One More Try" but I appreciate Dingdong more in "She's The One." He fits the role of Wacky perfectly. Oozing with chemistry ang bea-dong. Hope this won't be their last movie.

Bea is really an amazing actress. She really gives justice to her roles. I would also like to commend Coleen Garcia for her 'utak ampaw' role, as in very natural, bagay na bagay.

What's the reason ba why I watched "She's the One" over and over again? Well, I'm not losing money here. The movie is really worth-watching for the nth time.

It's really entertaining and you'll learn a lot from this movie:

1. In love, age doesn't matter. 8 years gap is pretty much acceptable like in this movie na ma-fall inlove. Kahit na ganun kalaki ang gap, nakita ko naman ang chemistry nina Bea at Enrique and aminado naman akong kinilig ako sa mga scenes nila.

2. In love, there's also generation gap. Kitang-kita naman 'yan with the scenes between Bea and Enrique on how they deal with problems. As we age, we mature. Sana lang lahat.

3. It's still better to be with someone as your age. Not just because of generation gap, pero ito ang mas tanggap.

Favorite lines from the movie:

  • Maricar Reyes to Cat: "He has his moments but I think you're holding to moments. You're holding on to who you want him to be."
  • Wacky to Cat: "I will be that one guy who will never break up with you and you will be that one girl who will never break up with me."
  • David to Cat: "I don't think I can replace him, not in the show and most definitely, not in your heart."
  • David to Cat: "Thank you for trying so hard. Thank you. You could try harder to wait for me 'til I grow up or I can try harder to wait for you to move on. Or we can try to be honest."
This movie deserves a follow up movie please!

Centuries old churches and other historical landmarks, in a matter of seconds, they're ruined

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake shook large parts of the Visayas and Mindanao on Tuesday, October 15, bringing widespread damage in the region.

I was young, I wanted to visit these historical churches especially those centuries old churches. Other than being our religious establishments, these are also historical landmarks, and we're studying it since elementary to high school until college, and in a matter of seconds, they're ruined.


I haven't been in Cebu or in Bohol or any part of Visayas and Mindanao, but when I saw pictures made by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Cebu and Bohol, I feel like I'm devastated - I was shocked! It's heartbreaking, indeed. These are a loss not only to the Visayans and to those in Mindanao but to all Filipinos in general, because other than them being religious icons for the Catholics, for everyone else, they're heritage sites that clearly reveal a portion of the history of these islands and the people.

If only we had enough funds that would have helped protect these landmarks - to bring it back. I hope the damaged sites are rebuilt soon too since this is part of the region's tourist industry and it would help them get back on their feet.

My deepest sympathy to those people who've lost their love ones. Let's all help out in the coming days with their immediate needs. #PrayForVisayasandMindanao

What's your passion?

What is my passion? That's one of the many questions asked during the Systema launch last night.

I have plenty of passions in life. I easily get interested in things, as if I am a baby who gets amazed by colorful objects. It also depends on my interest. I have a lot of interests, but not all of it has become my passion. One of these passions is blogging which I answered during the the program, posted via Instagram where they will pick the winners.

This is my answer to the question - What's your passion?:
My passion is blogging. It’s not just about having an online space, it’s also about sharing - making your desires known and inviting others to help you achieve them. As a successful Blogger one day, I will be able to empower other bloggers to guide a community and move them for a better cause.

I am blogging since I was in highschool, then when I started college in Far Estern University. That's where I transferred to Blogger and opened a lot of blogsites. No one taught me how to blog. I am also a fast learner, but it doesn’t mean I’m intelligent. I learned blogging as fast as I learned how to use facebook.

I didn't win on this contest but it's okey. I'm also sure I will learn new things I am passionate about as I become more educated and grow older and wiser.

Poor puppy!

Wikipedia states: ‘Cruelty to animals or animal abuse is the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals, other than humans, for purposes other than self-defense. More narrowly, it can be harm for specific gain, such as killing animals for food or for their fur. Diverging viewpoints are held by jurisdictions throughout the world.’ 
A video of the cruel girls having themselves a laugh and proud who beats a puppy until the puppy can no longer walk, gasping for air...at the later part the puppy died senseless using their ugly feet.


VIDEO: Three heartless girls killing a poor puppy!

This puppy has no voice, just a loud cry, can’t speak the language of humans and these ugly girls with ugly hearts, are totally, insensitive to pain felt by the puppy. It seems like they're happy doing it, they are still smiling while doing it like it's no big deal. They're hilarious! Unbelievable people! Not only idiots, they are profound!


This what they call 'Animal Crush' for perverts and sadists who enjoy watching such explicit cruelty on a animal. This has to end. For these three girls, they've lost their humanity, their worth and truly, I really hope that karma works, because then you'll get nothing more than they deserve . . . as for this puppy, I couldn't and wouldn't watch to the end. This is truly a disgrace to humankind.

This is one of the most severe cases of animal abuse I’ve ever seen, letting the puppy suffer in pain sends a shiver through the spine. Cruelty to anyone or anything is always wrong and is even worse when the victim is someone or something that cannot defend themselves or speak or cry for help... poor puppy.

Iraya-Mangyans preserve traditions thru weaving

Ayala Foundation will showcase Iraya-Mangyan and their beautiful nito weaving tradition on October 10 via 'Ayala Group Fair Share Store' at  at the 2nd Floor Gallery of the InterContinental Hotel in Makati City.


Since I grew up in Mindoro, I've seen and met some members of the tribes of Mangyans like the Buhid and Hanunuo and sadly, only few of them have been practicing their culture now. That's why, it's great to know that the Iraya-Mangyan tribe preserved their tradition in the modern times.

The Iraya-Mangyan are an Indigenous Group residing in Puerto Galera who for generations have safe guarded and continue to breathe life into the art of nito weaving. Traditionally crafted into baskets, the Iraya-Mangyan have developed this art form to be able to create modern items such as coasters, trays, and and bread plates among others.

Nito refers to the special vine that grows in the wild. Because it cannot be cultivated or planted, the Iraya-Mangyan make only what the earth allows, ensuring the earth-friendly and sustainable nature of their art. Each nito woven item is one-of-a-kind, with no single design being exactly the same as the other. Delicately crafted by a single individual, a large basket takes roughly one week to complete. These specialty crafts require much time and patience but the final work speaks volumes of our rich indigenous tradition and excellent craftsmanship.

Check out these nito crafts made by the indigenous people of Mindoro:


With Christmas just around the corner, the nito crafts are ideal gifts items--while being beautiful, functional and durable, they also celebrate a culture we can be proud of.  With each purchase of the nito crafts, a contribution goes to the education, housing management, health, and livelihood development of the Iraya-Mangyan in partnership with the Ayala Foundation.

We are encourage you to come and see the nito crafts for sale at the 'Ayala Group Fair Share Store' on October 10, 2013 from 10am to 7pm at the 2nd Floor Gallery of the InterContinental Hotel in Makati City. They will be joined by other partner communities of the Ayala Group who will also be showcasing an exciting array creative products.

You may also visit the display booth of the Iraya-Mangyan crafts at the 3rd Floor of Greenbelt 5 or at the Museum Shop of the Ayala Museum.
