"Some (people) are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance."says Benjamin Button.
Also, let me reshape Twilight’s catchphrase:
"When you CAN’T live forever, what do you live for?"
It made me realize, maybe I haven’t experienced everything yet but I can say that I have quite remarkable accomplishments already. I make it a point to try to have fun as much as possible and think that time is undefined for me to have inhibitions.
Being in
I remember:
- Watching football games in a pub ‘til 7 in the morning and then straight to my 9 AM class
- Living with a motorcycle for a couple of days
- Crossing and swimming in a river downtown
- Entering prohibited areas: an unoccupied yacht, top deck of a ferry boat, men’s bathroom, and forbidden rooftops
- Swimming through a deadly river
- Being inside a men’s shower room fully-clothed with naked men surrounding me
- Riding my bike (no hands!) at 4 in the morning from downtown all the way home
- Conquering
- Sleeping at a train station, waiting for the earliest train, with some friends
- Being featured in different local magazines
- Going clubbing and getting drinks though I’m underage
- Being friends with the hippest club DJs and getting free tickets and drinks
- Belonging in the hottest hip-hop dance group in
- Working as a security guard once and having everyone stare at me in disbelief
Have I done enough at this point in time? No. But if my time is over, I can say, “It was fun and meaningful while it lasted.” I’ve been through a lot of things one can consider as risqué but I have no regrets whatsoever. I may have suffered a couple of bruises and heartbreaks still I’m adamant in saying that all of it was my choice. It has always been my choice. I choose what I do and who I want to be. I choose to have fun. I choose to be happy.
So that leaves me with this flaming question: Who will I be? What was I born to do? What do I live for?
Maybe I still am not sure and my future is yet to be determined. But I hope to BE…
someone who enjoyed everything she has done
someone who found contentment
someone who made those people around her happy
someone who inspired others
someone who made a difference
someone who was proud of herself
Now, I’m working my way, step by step, towards these goals.

The best thing that I’ve learned is: “Life is too short.”
Life is too short to let anger and blame consume you
Life is too short to let life’s complexities stress you up
Life is too short to be weary and scared all the time
Life is too short to let your weaknesses overpower you
Life is too short to stay inside your closet
Life is too short to wait inside your room
Life is too short to have remorse overshadow you incessantly
Life is too short to be alone
Life is too short to resist sharing it with others
Life is too short to give up easily and not try to fight
Life is too short to not seek happiness
Life is too short to have enemies
Life is too short to procrastinate on showing affection
Life is too short to conceal your thoughts and feelings
Life is too short to not be yourself
Life is too short to not try to BECOME someone
Life is too short to not spark a change and inspire others[ Image grabbed from Entertainment Wallpaper ]

Despite the initial positive feedback from a bunch of friends, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince surprisingly shamed my belittling expectations. I got pretty bored with the previous one so I didn't quite expect for the sixth installment to be this good. I thought the fourth movie would be unrivaled but I was mistaken. Now, I do believe the latest Harry Potter flick is the BEST yet!The film was easy on the eyes and easy to digest all throughout. It never got me thinking 'til my bangs hurt. It never got me yawning 'til the credits. Aesthetically, it provided the audience some amazing visuals. There were several HIGH-larious and ludicrous scenes that I probably won't stop reminiscing for at least the next four weeks. I love how Bellatrix has more exposure this time. She's evil but I adore her! I love the captivating (sometimes silly) script (though the film wasn't superbly written), explosive effects, engaging beats, and the remarkable directing. Kudos to David Yates and to Nicholas Hooper and his leet score! The dragging and highly emotional scenes take a backseat and the funny side of the characters emerges. You will also see how the three tweens have matured and their acting chops have also improved. Also, there are a number of too-funny-for-words sexual innuendos that some of you may have noticed. The ending, you may find an absolute cliffhanger. But fret not because Harry's long adventure-filled search for the Horcruxes will soon follow.
Just some of my favorite parts of the movie are (Warning: Upcoming SPOILERS):
- The Christmas dinner with Professor Horace Slughorn. That McLaggen dude was bloody creepy!;
- The bedroom "guytalk" between Ron and Harry and how "Hermione has nice skin". It was the cutest yet awkward scene between the two bromancing wizards;
- The lovestoned Ron. This was the cutest I've seen Redhead Weasley so far! Ron is the ultimate comic relief;
- The Room of Requirement rendezvous of Harry and Ginny. Eeep! So cuuuuute but kinda childish!;
- Hermione and Harry talking about Romilda Vane... Hermione: "Hey, she's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One."
Harry: "...But I AM the Chosen One!" Then Hermione hits him with a book; - McLaggen and Harry's talk re:"Dragon Balls". OMG!;
- The cave scene with Dumbledore and Harry. One of the best scenes ever;
- The "drunk-like" Harry when he drank the Felix Felicis potion... Prof. Slughorn: "Harry!?" Harry: "Sir!?";
- Finally, the demented and obsessed Lavender (the Weasley Stalker) whose every scene was friggin' laughable and laudable. She was creepy yet incredibly funny.
This movie is a must-watch! Prepare your heart and your bangs for a hilarious 153 minute-journey with Harry Potter and company.
