Slumdog, underdog and puppy crush

I know it's overrated, but I can't help liking Slumdog Millionaire. It is simple but genius.

As I was you-tubing the movie and the Jai-ho dance, I stumbled upon the videos of lead actor Dev Patel's interviews and guestings with those major shows and, I can't help myself, I was drooling over this amazing guy! He may have an Indian descent, but he's actually British having been born and raised in London. But I can't care less about his nationality, he is a sweet boy! Only 18 but very smart. He is also funny, humble, nice and a good-dresser!

When he was asked what it is about the movie that people love, he said "I guess it's the universal underdog story." (and world peace!)

Speaking of underdog, the same goes with Susan Boyle. This is an eye opener. A person has a gift inside, you can never judge a person just looking on the outside.

Funny how people fall for these amazing underdog, rags to riches, Cinderella stories, and yet everyone wants to be on top, hating and jealous of each other, when it's cool to be simple and humble.

Dear God, please let me meet someone like Dev Patel, only make him the same age as me because 18 is too young. But I like the same qualities, and the sexy British accent would be such a bonus too. Thank you.

Shortcut

I got myself a new hair cut. For a while, hindi ko nakilala ang sarili ko. Hindi na ako sanay.

I wasnt used to wearing long hair back in highschool and college. I decided to sport a long hair look noong mauso ang relax at rebond. I think the last time I had a hair this short was in 2004. It's always been long in between.

Yeoj hasnt seen it yet as of this time. She will kill me if she sees me.

If it's short, let it grow...you can always cut it.
If it's long, cut it...you can always let it grow.
(from the book Live Like You Were Dying).

Good girl ba kamo?

Last Saturday, Team Chester had a team building in Antipolo. I was half hearted to join kasi, it was on a Saturday night and the next day is a Sunday which is a busy day for me. So I didnt show up sa kitaan, I decided to just sleep. Later at night, I woke up with Tl's text, asking me where I was. I wanted to reply that I was not going. I closed my eyes again determined to go back to sleep, but I couldnt. Ginugulo ang konsensiya ko. Matutulog na lang ba ako uli?

I jumped out of bed. I decided to go anyway, dahil ang buhay ko ay bahay-trabaho-bahay-trabaho-simbahan-bahay-trabaho-bahay-
trabaho-mall. Tapos nagrereklamo ako na boring ang buhay ko and I need a life!

Naghintay akong sunduin sa landmark ng isang oras, which pissed me off bigtime. Pero dahil nalaman kong meron sa kanila ay 2 hours naghintay at 3 hours naman pala sila nagbiyahe dahil may mga sinundo pa, at traffic, naisip kong hindi ako ang pinakakawawang tao sa mundo at napatawad ko din sila.

Kapag nalalasing si TL, nagtatransform siya, parang the Hulk. Naging si Chester the Monster na naman siya nun, at naisipan niya kaming ipag-iitsa sa pool. Sa totoo lang, medyo nainis ako kasi, nakapants ako at yung suot ko eh yun din ipang-uuwi ko. Bumilib ako kay Bernie. Nasa bulsa pala ng shorts niya yung celphone niya at yun nabasa at nasira. Kesa daw mainis siya, ipapagawa na lang niya. Kung sa akin nangyari yun, sisirain ko ang araw nilang lahat at sisiguraduhin kong walang masaya. Pero dahil okay na okay sa 'kin yung attitude ni Bernie, nagpalit na lang ako ng swimming shorts at nagsaya-sayahan sa pool.

I do not know if she's always like that, but I saw how she reacted on that situation, and I thought that was really cool. Kasi ako pag-uwi ko, inaway ko yung kapatid ko at nagulo bigla ang bahay. Not to mention I have also been very mean to the agents calling SAG.

I call myself a good girl, not really because I am one, pero gusto ko talaga maging kasing bait ng mga tulad ni Bernie.

Not as half

I can never be as great a mother my Nanay is, not as half as great she is. She is so giving, she is so consistent and never wavers with her faith like me. She has a great sense of moral values, and she is the source of strength of the family because she is always on her toes, never shaken. She is confident but humble. She has a big and beautiful heart, it would take thousands of words to explain it. She'll be a great lola, I see it the way she treats the dogs that I love! I can let them wait for food, but Nanay treats them as their apo, she couldnt stand see them hungry and cooks for them and feeds them. =) This family will fall apart if not for her.

I can never be as great she is. Even if I try so hard. Never.
