I’ve always had this thing for British actors. I think it all started with me crushing on Christian Bale years back when he did Swing Kids and I found out he was British. Years later – and along with most of the female population – I swooned at the sight of the most beautiful elf […]
He looks like something dropped from a helicopter—you know, the perfect guy, for a needy girl trapped on a desert island. That girl being me, and the desert island being my life. I remember a friend recommending the book Queen of Babble to me three years ago when it first came out. It was only […]
My first impression of the movie from just the preview was that it would be funny, just not my kind of movie. I never intended to watch the film until someone lent me a copy of it to watch at home and I have to say, I really liked it. The movie is basically about […]
We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses. The last girl I love will be someone I haven’t even met yet, probably. They all count. […]
I learned several years ago never to mistake attention for affection. — John Mayer, on Twitter Couldn’t agree with him more. I’ve been on opposite sides of this kind of story before. Sometimes you give attention merely because you have the time to do so. Sometimes you give attention because you don’t want to be […]
Hapa, according to Wikipedia, is a person of mixed Asian or Pacific Islander heritage. These days, Hapas are very popular in Asia, particularly in the entertainment industry. I think it’s no surprise that they get attention because the mixed heritage usually results in good looks plus growing up abroad means that they are very good […]
We make all these plans about how things will turn out, but life happens, plans change, so we adapt. We draw on strength we didn’t know we had. We give up any illusions of control, and we deal head-on with problems that come our way. That quote was from the now-defunct TV series Emily Owens, […]
One of the people I follow on Twitter posted a link to an article about Amanda Hocking, a young writer who made millions by self-publishing on Amazon. I was inspired by her story of being an aspiring writer who has been rejected several times who decided to self-publish and sell her books on Amazon. It […]
The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is something I’ve had as an ebook but never read. When the movie came out, I didn’t want to spoil my reading by watching it so I skipped it (even if Zac Efron was playing the lead). Good thing I skipped the movie. I read that the […]
The recent earthquake in Nepal has been all over the news. It is sad to see so much destruction and I cannot imagine how difficult it would be for the people affected to pick up the pieces and move on when the life they came to know was destroyed in just minutes. It made me […]
The first time I heard about the movie Shanghai Calling I knew that it was a film that I wanted to watch. Daniel Henney doing comedy is a must-watch for me! I know a lot of people are very critical of his acting but in his defense, I believe he just hasn’t been given the […]
Finally, after a very long wait, I was able to watch the movie Safe Haven! I know I said that I wanted to watch it in the cinema when I first heard about the movie but I wasn’t able to (due to health issues and all the things that came along with it). Now that […]
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I ended up where I needed to be. […]
I could not resist taking the photo of this little altar boy when I went to attend a vigil at an Aglipayan church near where I work a couple of weeks ago: I saw this boy earlier in the day but he seemed a bit shy so this was the best pic I could take. […]
