Il Mare (2000)

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:08:00 +0000

Il Mare is a (South) Korean film about two people who came from different time—Eun-joo, a voice artist from year 2000 and Sung-hyun, an architectural student who’s from 1998.

Eun-joo is about to leave Il Mare (which means “The Sea” in Italian), a seaside house, and left a Christmas card for the next owner asking to forward any mail for her in her new address. Sung-hyun receives the letter and is confused because he knows he’s the first to live in Il Mare, and the date is set two years in the future. The two forwarded mails and later realized that it was the mailbox that makes these things work. Sung-hyun became Eun-joo’s calling person (metaphorically) then. She talks with him about his feelings about his boyfriend which she dearly loves despite the latter choosing another girl after their separation (her boyfriend went to America for work). Sung-hyun on the other hand, while knowing Eun-joo more and more, realized his feelings for her.

What will happen to their story? Will things work out despite the fact that they live two years apart?

Want to know what will happen in their love story? Read more…

Sung-hyun was able to see Eun-joo in his time, when she doesn’t know him yet. Though she sees him as a stranger, Sung-hyun accepts this and developed his feelings more.

Eun-joo and Sung-hyun continued exchanging mails and decided to meet. On the date they set, Eun-joo saw a house being built in their meeting place. She was told that it was designed by architecture for her true love. Continuing the story, Sung-hyun did not turn up. Sung-hyun mailed Eun-joo telling her it would be impossible for him to forget that kind of promise.

Thereon, Eun-joo met her ex-boyfriend and realized she still loves him. She sent a mail to Sung-hyun asking him to intervene on his ex leaving for abroad. Sung-hyun accepted it and sent a letter to Eun-joo telling her it would be his last letter for her.

Later, Eun-joo remembered an accident which happened the day her ex and she separated. She went to Sung-hyun’s school and she was told that Sung-hyun died on during that day. He was hit by a car while crossing the road to the restaurant where she had her last date with his ex. Eun-joo rushed to Il Mare and sent a letter to Sung-hyun, telling him not to go there.

In the end, the story brings back the first scene where Eun-joo was about to put the Christmas card in the mailbox. It’s revealed Sung-hyun got her letter and did not intervene on their last date. There, Eun-joo was approached by Sung-hyun and told her about a story, their story.

Ang Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:04:00 +0000

The book Ang Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan, by Bob Ong, was written like entries in a journal by the main protagonist, Galo. The entries were dated back from the late ‘90s. It started by some random rants about his highschool life and so it went until he became a college student. Things just started to became creepy in the story when he came back to his province and visited his grandmother.

It tells about spirits, something paranormal. It also tackles about the effect of technology in the people which made me reflect for a while. It hit right on the spot about how we crave for them when in the first place, we don’t need them.

For those who haven't read the book yet, watch its trailer. I rated it 3 out of 5. But ofcourse, we have different taste when it comes to books. You can always rate it base on your perception about it.

UST Paskuhan

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:06:00 +0000

Straight from UP Lantern Festival, we rode the cab and went to UST Paskuhan. This time, Joy disagreed to go with us. A matter of strict parents!

Anyway, along with Cara, Robert, Amen, and Vlad, we paid a total of Php 250. Not bad for the comfort and privacy of the ride. Supposed to be, it was to be Php 200 only but the driver told us that it was traffic ahead and he’s not agreeing, not with Php 250 as the fare. So, the deal is off!

So guys, remember making an agreement before you ride a cab. Maybe you can have a deal for a lower price on your cost.

Continuing... everyone shared their stories along the way. A chance of bonding, not to be missed right?! We talked about random topics like the UP newspaper which Vlad and Amen were carrying. I forgot the title, and haven’t read any articles, but it has weird stuffs on it (no offense, cause I just had a glimpsed and the idea came from what both of them were telling us). Conversation about gradeschool years, and highschool were also on the list.

Alas! We arrived around 8 pm I guess. We noticed that a lot of people were outside. Probably, outsiders like us. We asked the guards and they told us that the event is not open for everyone (like we thought it was), unless you know someone from inside. But ofcourse, we know someone. Melvin!

He was with Aika (I don’t know her personally but she was my schoolmate in highschool). We made our way inside and signed on the visitor’s form. Amen’s mischief didn’t go unnoticed in our eyes. Eheh!

So, we just took a stroll. We went where Melvin’s classmates were hanging out. He (Melvin) wanted to introduce us but didn’t know how to start. I was expecting he would still do what he should have done because I want to try making some friends that moment. To go out of my shell and try to be friendly. Stuffs in my mind went like that.

Nonetheless, as I said, nothing happened, so we kept our stroll. We were all hungry so we decided to take our dinner then. We went outside the university and ate in a nearby carinderia. As we finished our dinner, the fireworks started. Actually, fireworks, for me, is one of the wonders of the world. It was good in any way. Some were saying that that was not everything of it. I was hoping the same.

...fireworks, for me, is one of the wonders of the world.

We went to the washroom afterwards. Need not to elaborate. I waited with the others outside just like the others. The line for the girls’ was really long (as always). Need not to compare it with the boys queue. Anyway, I’m not the one who needed WC. The boys do.

A matter of time, the boys wanted to watch the band. So we went to the spot where the bands were playing. Looking at the crowd of people gathering around the area, we knew at sight that we won’t be able to make a way near band playing. We just stayed there for several minutes and had some fun chatting and watching from a distance.

For our last few hours, we lay in the grass. How do I describe it? It felt peaceful doing that. Serene, and all we did was chat. Telling stories and doing our things. Moments later, Melvin decided to treat us burgers. It was his birthday the yesterday. Looking back, he always did that, treating us burgers during his birthday. He didn’t change much, I guess.

So, I’m not good with guys. But during our time, since from when we’re in UP Lantern Fest and until now, I felt closer to my guy friends. I just had the confidence to have the urge and have conversation with them.

I felt closer to my guy friends.

I had some time with Robert in UP. A moment with Melvin. Some minutes with Vlad. And a short debate and game with Amen. For me, this was a great accomplishment. I’m starting to get used to them. I’m not being the ~~man-hater~~ (exaggerated to use this word, but I don’t know any word similar or alike with this) they used to view me.

Ahah! I’m changing. A change for good.

The debate and game with Amen by the way, it was the funniest and inspiring thing I did that day. Game went like predicting the course of a certain passerby, judging who’s the leader of the group of people walking by, and watching couples make sweet arrangements and have arguments. We’re not trying to invade privacy. Just not trying to not lose the time out of boredom.

So the debate... Matters about our dreams, hopes and aspirations. One of the thing he said that was engraved in my mind was, “Hindi naman talaga mahalaga kung ano yung natapos mo. Ang talagang mahalaga ay kung natupad mo yung pangarap mo.” (It is not important what degree did you finished. What really matters is if you accomplished your dream.)

Hindi naman talaga mahalaga kung ano yung natapos mo. Ang talagang mahalaga ay kung natupad mo yung pangarap mo.

It made me think, reminisced my life and think of what I did in the past. Honestly, picking a career in the field of medicine was really out of my thoughts before. Sometimes, it still felt like mystery on why I chose it. I was more inclined to the field of arts, and I think I’ll do well in practical jobs. But anyway, I’m still pursuing this career. I hope I’ll have my mind cleared in the future and know what I really want.

So, that’s more of what happened last December 16, 2011. Lovsalut everyone!

UP Lantern Festival

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 08:03:00 +0000

To see my highshool classmates is one of the oddest things that can happen after graduation. We went to different colleges and universities, and some of us went to dormitories. Most of us changed our number and our only connection left intact is our Group page in Facebook.

Anyway, last Friday some of us gathered to attend the UP Lantern Festival. Actually, we were supposed to meet up around 5 pm but due to some unavoidable circumstances, we met around 7 pm. Okay, we had some misunderstanding on where to meet up but nonetheless, I enjoyed the few hours I had in the Lantern Parade with one of my closest friend, Joy.

We were supposed to wait for our friends to come so while waiting, we both watched the parade for some time while sharing our college stories, rants and adventures.

After a while lanterns started floating in the sky. Not minding our agreement with the others, we both decided to go where the lanterns were coming from. I know it was both selfish of us but we’re both excited to see this “Tangled” like experience for the first time.
It did not fail us. The scenery was really awesome. Lanterns were flying one after the other. They were like stars in the sky, only that they were moving with the wind. (^_^) Oh well, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity so we took some pictures.

Flicker! Flick! Flick!

Minutes later, we saw the others walking towards us—Yssa and James. Ehem! So we found each other after all this time. We went to see the others as well—Amen, and Bon. Ijay just left and we just missed him.

We talked for some time and later decided to go to UST Paskuhan. Joy told us that she can’t go because her parents won’t allow her so we bid her a farewell.

The Lantern Festival felt magical. I met my friends and had the time to bond with them.

For my next post, I’ll tell you about the time I had at UST Paskuhan.

This is College

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:54:00 +0000

When I posted here that I’ll be on an indefinite hiatus, I was really thinking back then that it would be good for a month or two, or maybe even sooner if I’ll be able to get myself a laptop. A month passed and my wish was granted because I received a netbook from my dad. Good thing!

But college life forbade me. I went through a different routine. Although it was really busy, it was fun. A new phase of my life just opened. My college life has begun.

DORM. I live in a dorm. To save time, and money. It’s practical. But it means I have to be away from my family. I prepared myself—my emotions, and such. At first, I thought I won’t ever feel home-sickness. But my mind did fail me. I started to felt it. Nonetheless, I survived everything.

DORM MATES. They’re almost my family. I’ve been with them for the past five months. Through thick and thin, we’ve been together. Although I deny not that our bonds were tested. Our connection never felt so strong. My impression of how things will go, having to live in a dorm, and being with strangers you don’t know, they all went away. Gone. Diminished. I’ll tell you, being with them is fun. And I experienced a whole new part of my life because I lived with them.

Some of my dorm mates. Excuse the messy surrounding. It's PIZZA DAY neh!

CLASSES. If the professor won’t arrive for the next 30 minutes since class started, you can all go home. That’s the difference.

PROFESSORS. Need not to excuse yourself when you go out. That’s common. But of course, we should still practice right courtesy.

SCHEDULES. Saturday classes. >.< That’s it. Pick some good schedule. Be sure you can handle your time.

My second semester schedule. No more Saturday classes! (^_^)

EXAMS. Just study the lesson and don’t ever dare to be left behind. Then, look at how easy everything will go.

FOODS. The thing about living in a dorm is to have stock foods on your shelf. You never know when you’ll get hungry.

ENTERTAINMENT. So here’s what happened. I always feel tired after class, and all I want was to relax so I started watched movies to unwind. It served as my past time.

GIMICKS. I don’t what this word was, until, well, I experienced what a true one was. But anyway, spend your time wisely. This is solely a gift for you after long days of hardwork. Enjoy life, but prioritize your studies, ALWAYS!

It’s been 5 months. I missed a lot of things. But I’ll try to update everything. See, I even revamped my blog. Let’s start again!

I Will Be on Hiatus

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:32:00 +0000

Guys, I’ll be on a hiatus for a while. I’ll be living on the dorm starting on June 10, 2011. With that, I won’t be able to blog until I can get myself a laptop. Yeah, I know how it sucks not to have a laptop especially when you know that you will need it. But you can donate if you like. (^_^)

You can follow me on my twitter if you want to keep updated with me. I think I can still update that. But, be sure to leave to your twitter username, so I can follow back.

Anyway class will start on June 13. I was feeling nervous for almost 3 days now. I don’t know if it’s because I’ll be living in a dorm starting on Friday, or I just feel worried about being a college student. Nevertheless, I already made friends with some of my blockmates. I searched for them in Facebook. So FB really served its purpose, to stay connected with people. I just hope that when we meet each other, well be good friends.

So, for those who commented on my last post, thank you very much. I was really bothered about it but you because of you, my feelings were lightened up.

If you’ve noticed, I just closed my tagboard. I know I would not be able to tag back so I think it would be unfair if I keep my tagboard. If you have any message for me, drop a comment here or send me a message through my contact form. Well, it’ll be back soon, stay tuned.

My Dream

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:00:00 +0000

I've been having weird dreams lately. Last night, I dreamed about being in an auditorium with I guess, with my supposed to be schoolmates. But well, some of the people there were not really going to be my schoolmates. I saw Cara, Robert, Mara, Erruel, and Marian in my dream.

We were having an election. So, we have already elected a president. Then I was called to nominate the vice president but I didn’t stand up. And then I heard someone nominate the vice president. And then someone was elected. I was nominated for secretary along with my highschool classmate who was the secretary in our class before. When I was a senior, I was the assistant secretary of my class. Anyway, somewhere in my dream, Marian said,”Si Mary siya yung nakakarelate pero hindi nakakaapreciate. Kaya ipaubaya niyo nalang sa akin ito.” I am pretty sure that was the exact words. Then someone stood up for me. She was Mara. She said and explained my side. I can’t remember what she said though. In the end, I was elected as the secretary.

When my dream was about to end, we were in a jeep. I was thanking Mara what she said. Well, I don’t know if what I can still remember it right, but Cara was gazing or glaring at us. And that’s it.

I want to know what this dream means. It was bothering me since I woke up. I asked myself, what kind of person am I? Even in my dreams, I was being told what I am.

My Medical Examination

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 14:00:00 +0000

I had my Physical and Dental examination today. It’s a requirement for my course so I need to attend it. We arrived in the school at around 11 am. There’s already a line of students in the clinic, waiting for their turn. At around that time, the one assisting us already stopped accepting another set of students. They were advice instead to come back at 1:30 pm. I felt quite lucky because I am the last student accepted to be examined. Atleast I made it in time.

They measured my height and weight. I was disappointed with the result about my height. Last time, I was already 4’ 11’’ and now, I’m back being 4’ 10’’. Yeah, I’m that short. But I guess it was because I was not comfortable with my position when they took my height. The base which I was stepping on was moving that I can’t stand erectly.

While waiting, I saw someone who looked like my brother. And that caught my interest. When I caught a glimpse of him, I really thought about my brother. Let’s call him John. Anyway, I heard he will take the same course I will be taking too and I think it would be good too if we become classmates. Haha. It’s just my curiosity okay. I have always been interested with those people who look quite alike with the exception of twins, triplets, and the likes.

Continuing, it’s my turn for my physical examination. The doctor asked about if I have been admitted to the hospital, if I felt dizzy etc. Then, she checked my ears, mouth, and other areas in my body. It was done for quite a number of minutes. If I compared it with the others who went there before me, I’m assured that mine was done pretty quickly. Is it because I’m the last one? Or is it because, there’s no abnormalities or anything that need my attention? Anyway, the result was a big OKAY but I was recommended to have a booster shot. We were instructed to go back at 2:30 pm for my dental examination and for the shot as well.

My mom and I decided to go to Cubao to eat in Chowking. I love their Halo-halo there. While eating, my mom told me she noticed that John looked like my brother. XD She noticed it too. After our lunch, we went to National Bookstore per my request. I want to buy a planner because I really want to keep things organized. Unluckily, I didn’t have much choice. I even asked one of the staffs but she showed me the organizers. I guess she doesn’t know the difference between the two. Anyway, I bought the only planner they have. The Candy school planner. Since it’s a school planner, I would not need to worry if it’s already halfway of the year, right! Too bad I think it’s too small.

It’s already 2:15 pm so we went back to the school again. At the entrance, I saw my blockmate, Marsha. Hah! Lucky chance! I’m glad I saw her. Though we didn’t talk much, and we just greeted each other, I’m still grateful. We guided them to the clinic so they can register on the form. Then she and her mother went outside to wait. Since we’ve been there this morning, I’m already part of those who needs to wait inside.

I was shot the booster first then I had my dental after so. The shot stung me. Urgh! But not to the point that I need to freak out. My dental exam went well. The only thing they noticed was that I need to have pasta on one of my teeth. So, that’s it for my physical and dental examination.

When I went home, they told me I have a parcel. Yaay! I wonder what it is. And I’m really glad, it’s my prize from Christel’s New Domain giveaway. I’ve been waiting for it for almost a month now. Sugoii! It’s the first giveaway prize that needs shipping that I received. It was cool. My lips is not really in a good condition right now, and I’m pretty sure those lip products would help me nourished it. By the way, I already gave the lipstick to my mom. I was supposed to give it to her on Mother’s Day if the parcel arrived earlier. But anyway, I gave it to her.

I Watch A Lot These Days

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Tue, 24 May 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Follow me in Tumblr and Twitter. Leave your Tumblr/Twitter so I can follow back

NOTE: When you link exchange with my other blogs, PixieHeart.info or CelestialRose.info, make a separate link. Don’t remove my link, PixieChronicle.bs.com. I’m still using this blog. If you remove it, I’ll remove your link in this blog too.

I just want to clarify the part above. Some remove the link for PixieChronicle when I try to link exchange with them in PixieHeart/CelestialRose. I guess it’s okay but if you do so, your link will be removed here too.

Anyway, it’s been a while since my last post. I was pretty occupied by my watching of dramas and my stilling some scenes to capture some parts. The drama I watched by the way was Zettai Kareshi, also known as Absolute Boyfriend. The drama was adapted from the manga with the same title by Yuu Watase, but they changed some parts. I’ve been updating my tumblr, Pinkspell.info, about that drama which I really loved. Here’s the plot:

Robot maker, Kronos Heaven, finally develops “Night Tenjo”, the perfect male humanoid programmed to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover. The company chooses temp worker Izawa Riko to take part in a 5-day free trial. At first, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. But when she finds out how deep Night’s devotion to herself is, Riko finds herself falling in love with him. Joining the love triangle is Asamoto Soshi, a distinguished young executive at her company who has feelings for her. — Fuji TV

Starring Hayami Mokomichi Tenjo Night, Mizushima Hiro Asamoto Soshi and Aibu Saki Isawa Riiko. The drama was simply amazing. I know it is purely fictional, I mean the story. But there are parts when you would just wish that it will just come true. I made some post and review about this in Tumblr. (Check out Zettai Kareshi tag for more!)You might want to read it. But WARNING, they contain spoilers.

I also watched Beastly last Friday night. It truly captivated my heart. Tehee! Love is not about the looks but about your feelings. But seriously, I never thought Kyle was ugly. I think his look there was very creative and was a work of art. Just look at those swirls, especially that tree in his left hand. It was marvelous. XD If I see someone like that, I might tell him, “Wow, nice one.” By the way, this is my favorite scene. It was romantic if you ask me.

I am also trying to finish another drama. Secret Garden! I’m already on episode 9. But I’m not really happy now with this. My favorite character here is Director Im (Philip Lee). I just think he’s cool. And because he’s my favorite, I was disheartened on this scene.

This is the most hateful scene I have ever watched. Kim Joo Won (who was in Gil Ra Im’s body here) was being too much here. He dared to intervene with other people’s feelings. Director Im looks badly hurt. ~My Tumblr

By the way, I was able to make an animated picture from one of the scenes in Secret Garden. It’s my first, regarding with dramas. I’m proud of it. Check it out here. Anyway, to keep updated with me, just go to my tumblr cause I’m posting there about my recent activities with this drama or go directly to tagged/Secret_Garden.

Orientation

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Wed, 18 May 2011 13:07:00 +0000

I know it’s late already but here’s what happened during our orientation (04/13/11).

I woke up at 5. I was ready at 6:30 AM. XD The trip takes 2 hours at most. My mom was getting ~~annoyed~~ at me because she told I was slow. Anyway, we were finally able to ride at 6:50 AM. We expected to arrive in the school at 8:30 AM. 30 minutes late. Neh?! But oh-well, Friday the 13th is not an unlucky day at all for me. The trip was less than an hour. Haha! I was watching my watch.

Anyway, the orientation itself was boring. Although I was glad I saw two of my classmates on highschool, Marian (she will be my classmate again) and Paulyn, my mood was lifted when the discussion went on without any break, for four hours. They had the usual talk, about the school regulations, but I’d rather read the handbook when it arrives. Anyway, it’ll contain the same thing. Maybe, atleast, they should have presented us an intermission number. The atmosphere on the room was dull, they should have noticed it. Oh, they noticed it but nothing was really done to change it.

So it goes on! And bleh, it end atlast. But I think they’re really trying to make everything fitted for the students. They kept on giving surveys from the time I took the entrance exam, when I enrolled, when I had my ID picture taken, and even now. I just wish they’ll become livelier next time, on the other batch.

Oh, yeah! So much for me, but I don’t know that the school I’m attending to is a Christian school. Heh! I’m not thoroughly doing my research.

Nevertheless I really think that in some cases, it made me feel that the place is safe and peaceful. I’ll have my dorm there so I guess that’s a plus. Anyway, I’ll go home every Saturday since my schedule during that day would be until 12 noon. Yaay! It feels exciting.

So I don’t know, I’m still thinking about the bag I should be using. Hehe! I know it may sound nonsense but what should I have, a backpack, or handbag? I saw a lot of students who have backpack so maybe it must be a necessity there. Any opinion?

Okay, so I was thinking that I’ll be posting my tumblr diary here too. I wrote daily things in my tumblr about my life, so since this is my personal blog, I might as well compile everything here. Anyway, I was having this blog so that in the future, I can go here and backread whatever happened to me in the past. It’s worth it right? So, here are they:

Huh? - To clarify this part, it's about someone whom I met in Facebook who told me that he has a crush on me. Let us just call him JB and he's my batchmate and schoolmate. Although I haven't met him yet personally. And he's already talking about wooing me. It's awkward. Nonetheless, well, atleast now I know that someone has this kind of feeling for me.

My Tumblr

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Thu, 12 May 2011 10:49:00 +0000

See, I have my tumblr is simplified now. If you have been visiting my tumblr, you know that I'm using a pink customized layout. but now, I'm putting pink aside. Whee! It loads easier now since it does not have any images at all, aside from those typographies, & photographies posted.

Noticed that my tumblr have a domain now? Hehehe... I think I'm quite lucky when it comes to domain giveaways. So anyway, as you can see, I used the domain for my tumblr. But I changed it weeks ago, I just did not blog about it. But I'm saying it now.

Hope you can drop by there. I'm reposting interesting things and sometimes, I post my own typography too. And also, I'm planning to do my daily blogging there. Don't confuse this. This blog, PixieChronicle, will stay as my personal blog, and my tumblr will serve as my daily (random) blog. You know, those rants and random thoughts.

Nonetheless, here's an update. I'm having a dorm. My mom tricked me getting one. Aw! I'm really thinking hard about it but it already happened. I'll be getting this small freedom from June until college then I guess.

So, who's getting a dorm, too? Maybe we can meet now. (^_^) So, this means I need to prepare myself.

Last thing, we'll be having our orientation tomorrow. I hope everything will go smoothly. Since my enrollment, some bad things are happening to me. Good vibes please!

My, Oh May

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Tue, 10 May 2011 14:50:00 +0000

I am currently thrilled watching Secret Garden. If you live in the Philippines, then maybe, you already know that it’s airing on the Philippine television with Tagalog dub. But me, I believe that the original is way better than those being dubbed, and I really prefer watching with subtitles instead. I’m watching it now in Dramacrazy, an affiliate of Animecrazy where I watch Anime.

On the other hand, I am preparing for college. I’m not sure if I’m getting a dorm or not. It takes a four-hour ride back and forth to my new school. In a month, if ever I get a dorm, I’ll save 96 hours of my time which is equal to four days. But the thing is, I’m not sure if I’m prepared to become separated with my family. But I’m waiting, I’m waiting for some miracle. If that miracle happens, I’ll get a dorm no matter what. Anyway, here’s my schedule. ~~Full load~~. I need to do my best.

see larger version here

Tomorrow is May 11. I just learned that my Sweetposh mom, Ate Yesh is having her birthday tomorrow. I prepared something for her in my other blog, Pixieheart, which was given to me when I became part of the Sweetposh family. I hope she’ll like it. If you want to know what I’m talking about, just visit my Pixieheart tomorrow. You’ll know what I mean.

I just want to let you know that I'm posting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1 deleted scenes on Pixieheart as well starting from today. Check it out daily to see them.

Blogwise, when the class starts, I'll remove my tagboard. If you want to ask something or tell me anything, just comment on my latest post or use my contact form then on. But for now, keep on tagging if you want.

My Summer About End

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Wed, 04 May 2011 16:13:00 +0000

The month of May has started. My, I’m not really enjoying summer at all staying home all the time. Can’t help it anyway. Our supposed to be get-together with my classmates was postponed. It will be on the last week May. But I really do doubt that we will still have it. They already pushed it to the limit.

I know I’m complaining here yet I turned down the invitation to go to the province. I’ll be coming with my grandma and my cousin, but well, my mom and brother ain’t going so I decided I won’t too. Some of my granny’s friends were also coming. I’m not anti-social yet I thought I’ll not enjoy without the company of someone close to me and with those company added to the bunch of us.

Supposed I went with them, I'll see this again.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward doing something new. I want to do something worthwhile. Maybe I'll stop watching movies and animes and I'll read some inspirational book. Any recommendations on how to spend my last days of summer?

Here's my April Summer

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:25:00 +0000

There's some problem about Celestial Rose but I'm hoping it'll be fixed soon. Sometimes, it's down, but there are times when it's up. Also, visit Panache Mag. It is an online magazine that would showcase the new, the ‘in’, and the cool. Panache is an independent project by eager bloggers who would love to spend her free time writing for people.

Here’s summer for you. College is almost. I’m just watching movies and animes. I’ve never read a book. That’s quite a change since last summer I finished reading quite a number of books for summer. Guess things always change.

Anyway, here’s the list of movies I have already watched:

Il Mare (Korean film)
My Girl (Korean Film)
Scream 1
Scream 2
Scream 3
Seasons of the Witch
Step Up 2
The Last Airbender
The Love of Siam (Thai film)

I watched Scream because I was planning to watch Scream 4. I thought watching the previous movies were a must. Those Korean movies which I watched were by the way recommended by my friend, Joy. The Thai film, was, oh, well, suggested by JC. And just a trivia, Mario Maurer is part of it. I watched Step Up 2 per request by my brother who wants to watch it. The Last Airbender. I watched it because I was looking forward seeing the film made based on the anime Avatar: The Legend of Aang. Was quite disappointed anyway.

List of Anime:

Detective Conan Season 10
Detective Conan Season 11
Naruto Shippuden (random episodes)
The Story of Saiunkoku Season 1 (recommended)
The Story of Saiunkoku Season 2 (recommended)

I already finished Detective Conan S10. I’m still watching the S11. I’m planning to watch Naruto Shippuden over again, though I have not watched the whole thing yet, I got glimpse of which when my brother watches it. So maybe, I could try to watch it from the start which I somehow already started. I’m already on Season 4. The last but definitely, not the least, but the best anime I have watched this month, The Story of Saiunkoku. Try watching it. It was set back in hose time when men grew their hair long (<3), when women always wear yukata, and back in those time when there were still emperors living in the castle in Japan. I love this kind of genre so I enjoyed it.

So I guess, that pretty much it. I did not really feel bored but it was kind of sad, not to enjoy my time in the beach or pool atleast. My summer dream is gone. I hope next year it would be fun.

My Easter Sunday

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 11:21:00 +0000

We heard the mass first thing in the morning. Well, it was quite lucky, we all went to the church—my mom, my brother and I, my little cousin Lance went with us too. Usually, my brother would not go with us. Maybe he felt he needs to go now.

Nevertheless, after the mass, we went to the cemetery, but this time my brother did not come with us. After we lit the candles on my great grandmother’s grave, Lance and I jogged around the place. We did two lapses to be exact. It was fun because I don’t usually bond with him these days but I used to, everyday. He’s now enjoying his free time with other children in our street now. Well, he’s a kid. A growing one. What should I expect? Anyway, we ate some spaghetti after that. That’s what we usually do after going to the church. And then home sweet home.

I also had my hair cut today. If you’ve been following me on twitter, you probably knew this. From 31 inches, my hair length became 18 inches. Well, I’ve been planning to cut it shorter but many people even my mother and some others, do not approved the idea. What’s the deal with my hair? XD It seems they’re much more affected with this being cut. I just let it grew long because I believe a girl should have a long hair. That’s it.

Anyway, my days didn’t stop there. I went with my cousin Lance to attend the Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by Jollibee. It was awkward being there. Mothers accompany their children but in my cousin’s case, I was the one who was with her. But it can’t be helped. Her parents were working abroad. My uncle who bought him the ticket had another appointment, as well as my grandma and mother.

Nonetheless, we tried our best to have fun. My cousin, with a little bit of help from me, won on three games so he received many prizes. But we missed one of the most important parts—designing the Easter Egg. We arrived late and when we were given the egg and coloring materials, I thought there’s a specific time we would do this because they just told me to put my cousin’s name. I was wrong! They already had those eggs designed. And they have already selected the winner. It was quite disappointing but we’re at fault too. So, we just accepted it.

After the event, my uncle arrived but we’re already leaving. He just treated us ice creams and lunch as a thank you gift.

So that’s pretty much of the day during the Easter.

By the way, hope you’ll drop by on my new blog again, Celestial Rose. I’m also part of this online mag, Panache Online. Hope you can drop by and take the time reading there.

This Dream

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:00:00 +0000

My uncle told me that I should try nursing. He said it a lot of times. Yes I admire those nurses. Especially when they wear their nursing scrubs. But nursing is not really the course I want now. According to the datum I collected, nursing is an in-demand course but it’s not an in-demand job now here in the country.

Anyway, I’ll be trying this med tech course. I know I’m not really good in science, but things can be learned. I’ll be able to wear uniforms like that too; they’re not really much of the different at all right. What matters are our passion, and our goal. Anyway, since I've mentioned those nursing scrubs, you can see more of them at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/.

Grad Mad

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:29:00 +0000

It’s been more than a week after our graduation. I can’t really believe ~~Mr. Time~~. He just passed by so quickly. And before we knew it, summer will already end. Oooh, yes, I was not able to post graduation pictures. Maybe I’ll take this time.

Great! I was not also able to tell the story. So I’ll just point out the best parts. One of them would be receiving my diploma. I was really smiling. I felt like I’m the only person there. Best part also would be the finale. There were fireworks. Yes. It was wonderful. I was having a bad time about it because I saw some of them preparing those “kwitis”. I thought they were going to use them. But it was great, they did not. XD It was fun. Also, the after-graduation-we-went-up-the-stage scheme. I realized this after that, we were so selfish. Others want to went up the stage too, but we stayed there for how long. Anyway, I'll never forget those moments.

Anyway, remember this contest, Chiminess First Major Contest? It’s going to end soon—on April 17. There’s still time to help me. Just visit my post and know more about what you can do. Thanks in advance!

And everyone, I’m also promoting Panache Online. It’s an online magazine and I’ll be part of it. You can also request to become part of the crew. Just visit this page. Hope to hear from you soon!

Bye March!

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:12:00 +0000

So now it’s already April. Our graduation is getting nearer. Only ~~three days left~~! Mmmm, now I feel this feeling of longing for my classmates though given that we still have these times left. April 5 would be our graduation. It would be so memorable I know.

So to give updates, our group in Research, Group 4 was given the awards of “Best in Oral Defense” and “Best in Research Paper” during our recognition. Sweet neh! One of my classmates told me she saw me jumping out of excitement when I heard our group being called. Yes, I’m so glad.

Me and my Groupmates receiving our certificate

Also, I submitted my first LookBook entry. (^_^) I’m glad. Hope you like it. I don’t know when it would be updated again though. Just watch out. I’ll blog about it

And then, I have also decided that most of my post here in PixieChronicle.bs.com would be about more about personal things. Movie/Book reviews, and much about other things wuld be posted on my other blog. I plan to make PixieHeart.info active this summer so I’m hoping for your support. I have also posted there “My Top Three Summer Must Haves”, might want to read it. And Ate Yesh of SweetPosh is holding a contest for another batch of Sweetposh Babies. Join our family. Check out this post.

Oops, by the way, I’m going crazy about watching movies these days. If you have any movie recommendations, I would love to know them. Any genre would do. But think about it, I guess I’m getting into romantic drama, and inspirational films. So, I’m looking forward it. Thanks.

The Notebook (2004)

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:57:00 +0000

I’m ~~SICK~~. Urgh! For those who are following me in Twitter, maybe you already know this. And you know the reason? It’s me, watching “The Notebook”, a so romantic movie directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on a book written by Nicholas Sparks. I watched it last Saturday, at about 12 midnight. So I already sleep between 1:30 – 2:00 am the next day. And the next thing I knew, I’m already ill. I can’t stop ~~coughing~~ and ~~sneezing~~.

Anyway, the movie is TOTALLY worth it. I watched it because I watched “A Walk to Remember” with my friends last week. It’s also a book turned to movie written by Sparks.

So, The Notebook, it tells the story of two young souls who feel crazy in love with each other—Noah and Allie. Noah made Allie experienced everything she never thought of doing, like laying down on the middle of the road and watching the stop lights change, and other things (I really don’t want to spoil the whole lot), which spells freedom on Allie’s side. But soon, everything will fall apart. Noah, being poor, and Allie, being rich, made their love collapsed. The next events proved the power of their love, creating miracles beyond time and science.

What do I think of The Notebook? (WARNING! May contain spoilers)

Uhm, it’s not recommend for young watchers. Yeah! Nevertheless, the story is awesome. I mean, how they met in the carnival, it was like, Love at First Sight, and funny. Yet, I never believe in such love at first sight. I mean it’s crazy. For you to love someone when you just saw him once and that’s it. Anyway, I’m a fan of those. I mean in movies, in those romantic films. And look at how their love developed, in just a short span of time. Maybe it’s because I love fantasies, that’s why I love it. It’s such a wonderful gift if someone would experience it. Well, I want to experience something like that. I think it would be one of the happiest things I would experience. And not just that. Noah is such a sweet and thoughtful man, having him dedicate his life for Allie, even though they’re already old, his love never ceased. I wonder if I’ll find someone like him.

Go, watch it! Watch the “The Notebook”.

I Will Join Earth Hour

noreply@blogger.com (Mary) — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:08:00 +0000

I will participate on Earth Hour.

So what is Earth Hour?

"Earth Hour is a simple act that emphasizes both the ease and importance of adopting energy-efficient practices and lifestyles. Given ever-increasing energy demands, we must be mindful of the need to control human-induced global warming by adopting smarter and more responsible energy practices.”

~ Director Atty. Gia Ibay, Earth Hour National, leads the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) Climate Unit

Earth Hour is about addressing the effects of Climate Change in our world by a 60 minutes switch off. It will be on Saturday, March 26, 2011, at 8:30 – 9:30 pm. Everyone around the globe is encourage to cooperate. For Filipinos, there would be a main switch off event on the Mall of Asia Globe Area at 6pm on March 26. I hope I could go but my family already planned to stay at home and to participate by switching off the light all over the house and have a candlelight dinner to spend the time.

Anyway, do you know that the Philippines topped global Earth Hour participation levels for both 2009 and 2010. Ten million Filipinos in 647 towns, cities and municipalities switched off in 2009, while 15 million Filipinos in 1076 towns and cities joined the 2010 switch-off. Over a billion people from 128 countries participated in Earth Hour 2010 – marking it as the largest environmental event in known human history.

But it’s not always about the number right? We have to instill the true meaning of Earth Hour in our heart, which is to reduce our consumption of power, water and other critical resources.

You, will you join the Earth HOUR?

At 8:30 PM on Saturday 26th March 2011, lights will switch off around the globe for Earth Hour and people will commit to actions that go beyond the hour.

With Earth Hour almost upon us, our thoughts are with the people of Japan during this incredibly challenging and sad time for their country.

日本の皆さん、勇気を持って頑張って下さい
