the word "suddenly" just fits perfectly to how it was before and how it is now..

sad

I read the news yesterday.

And this morning, a colleague sent me the link to her blog. It makes me very very sad.

movies

Over the weekend, I was able to watch 2 movies. And by coincidence, they have the same theme – deception.

The Illusionist (2006)
Edward Norton and Jessica Biel

The Usual Suspects (1995)
Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Michael McManus

Both were good, so watch them when you get the chance.

--------------------------

I can’t help but think of the celebrities who are running for office this May while I was watching Man of the Year. Robin Williams plays a comedian/talk show host who ran for President of the US and won. But in the movie, he really is someone who knows a lot about what he is doing.

During the campaign period, he was very serious during the interviews and speeches that his staff were pushing him to bring back his funny side because that’s what the public love about him. But he refuses to because he says politics is serious stuff.

There’s not a lot of twists in the story but it will get you to think on what you would do if you were the lead male and the lead female character.

Some quotable quotes:

“Mr. Dobbs, please don’t make a mockery out of this debate.”
“Ma’am, it was a mockery a long time before I came here.”

“Perception of legitimacy is more important than legitimacy itself. That’s the greater truth.”

“I underestimated you.”
“Well, just between me and you Mr. President, you didn’t underestimate me at all.”

“TV scares me. It makes everything seem credible.”

“This is where I belong, with folks like you, finding the funk in dysfunctional.”

“Politicians are a lot like diapers. And they should be changed frequently and for the same reason.”

two stories

One of the funniest (and sweetest) father-daughter stories I’ve heard is this:

My ex-roommate’s friend/roommate in college once texted her dad “I’m home na.” when she got back to their dorm.

Her dad replied, “That is not your home. That is your dorm. Your home is here.”

---------------------------

This, on the other hand, is one of the saddest:

O: How’s it going to be for the two of you after we graduate? You’ll be going to
different schools.
H: When video phones become available, we’ll just get one.
B:
H: Besides, if it’s meant to be...

Years after..

B: Remember that time when you asked us how it’s going to be after graduation?
O: The video phone?
B: Funny, we now have 3G.
H: We are not on the same network, so it’s not possible.
B: Yeah. But even if we are, it still isn’t. It no longer is...

muni muni

“I’m not my real self when I’m here (province). My life is just different when I’m in Manila”, a friend of mine said the other day while we were strolling in the mall.

“I agree and I get what you mean”, I said. “That’s the difficult part for us – to call this place home yet live your life somewhere else.”


-------------------------------


It appears that one of the saddest point of life is to be surrounded with family and friends and yet no one knows what really is going on inside one’s mind or how one is feeling.

There are times when you want to share something to these people but they don’t want to hear the details, just the main point. But the reality is, sometimes there is no main point. There are just bits and pieces of your day to day struggle with hope and fear. And you just want them to hear you out and hope that they could probably put those things together and make sense out of it.


-------------------------------


I turned 23 last month. Some friends would say that I am still young. I would reply back that the one year difference in our age doesn’t really matter. But they insist that it does.

Somehow they got me thinking if it actually was true. But then, I realized that age alone cannot be judged on its own. The number of years should go along with the number of things you have done regardless if it was successful or not or whether it is grand or simple. It could be something like:

learning to play a musical instrument
almost/failing a class
sky jumping
reading a hundred books
loving someone and being loved back (or not)
speaking in public
riding the train that goes the opposite way
being promoted at work
singing in a choir
getting a second degree
climbing a mountain
falling asleep in a bus and missing your stop

I guess what I’m trying to point out is if you have filled these years with a lot of experiences and adventures, then you wouldn’t feel old at all. Because as you look back, you can say to yourself “Yeah, I’ve done that and I’m only ____ .” or “I’m only ______, I still have time to do that.”
