The Sequel… Toy Story 3 and Shrek 4

Standard

I have just watched this weekend the sequel of two great cartoon (digital)  movies in cable channels.


Actually I never thought (until last night) that there was already a 4th Shrek… as always, I liked it . The moral of the story is about appreciating what you are and what you have, i hope it will never got to the point that one will never know how important they are, until they lose them (like Shrek).  I will always remember the “cake” scene and will be watchful about how I will treat the people or how to react on a situation….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just finished watching the Toy Story 4… the last part is so touching… It’s  about reminding the importance of friendship and loyalty. And about not forgetting to always to seize the childhood and playful moments.  We can all “go back” to that moment of childhood and realize that we can be happy always….

🙂 emote moment lang even in the midst of children’s movies… :>

Another visit to Hospicio de San Jose

Standard

December 10, 2011 – it’s a date!
We’ll visit the orphanage, Hospicio de San Jose at Manila, for a short time playing with the toddlers. We’ve been there before, around christmas time last year and valentines day this year… I’m excited and yet I’m a bit anxious about too to see who will still be there… Sure I missed Liezl, Hannah and Kaye and Edward and others, but as much as I want to see them again, I really hope that they are no longer there anymore… that somebody have lovingly took them home and adopted them… that they finally found a family…
Nevertheless, surely we will finds toddlers there who are longing to be hugged and pampered and played with… even for just a little while… hope we could give more than that…

Currently Reading: All pending…for good reasons…

Standard

 

Eat Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
It’s nice to find a book you want to “savor”… not wanting to rush reading and yet enjoying every page… wanting to go on, but keeping the pace slow so it will last much longer… this is THE book you can call a “companion”… (best to read in airports and beach) nice… proud to say I’m not yet finished with it…

 

 

Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
An intriguing book that makes one “dizzy” on plot and sequence but also loving it thinking how clever it was structured. I am not a ‘romance’ reader, but this one qualifies as that with twist of sci-fi?! Not yet finished, because I’m having hard time “digesting” because the idea of “predetermined destiny” is kind of “off” and against compared to my theory of “butterfly effect”… anyway, this book is a source of good discussion between me and jolo, that’s why I am keeping at it.

 

 

 

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
Got curious when featured in Readers’ Digest and found the first few chapters as intriguingly interesting. Though quite theoretical its not conventional. “The Power of thinking Without Thinking” it says in its cover… it said don’t overthink… but hey, It made me think quite a lot in every page…. thus, I’m still at it. (a good LRT companion too)

 

 

 

 

 

ABNKKBSNPLKo by Bob Ong
Jolo picked it up, convincing me it will help his tagalog vocabulary. A local book which Jolo and I found funny, light and yet insightful about simple things. I was enjoying the first few chapters (I have to read it first to know if it is suitable for Jolo, or needs PG), when Jolo found me amused and smiling, thus he took it, read it in few days, lent it to classmates and friend… and since then, haven’t seen it yet again to finish it… haay…
