Water For Elephants
The story is told as a series of memories by Jacob Jankowski, a "ninety or ninety-three year-old" man who lives in a nursing home. Jacob is told what to eat and what to do.
As the memories begin, Jacob Jankowski is a twenty-three year old Polish American preparing for his final exams as a Cornell University veterinary student when he receives the news that his parents were killed in a car accident. Jacob’s father was a veterinarian and Jacob had planned to join his practice. When Jacob learns that his father was deeply in debt because he had been treating animals for free and had mortgaged the family home to provide Jacob an Ivy League education, he has a breakdown and leaves school just short of graduation. In the dark of night, he jumps on a train only to learn it is a circus train belonging to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. When the owner of the circus, Uncle Al, learns of his training as a vet, he is hired to care for the circus animals. This consequently leads Jacob to share quarters with a dwarf named Walter (who is known as Kinko to the circus) and his dog Queenie. A few weeks later Jacob is summoned to take a look at Camel, an old man who, after drinking Jamaican ginger extract for many years, can't move his arms or legs. Fearing Camel will be "red-lighted" (referring to the practice of throwing circus workers off a moving train as either punishment or as severance from the circus to avoid paying wages) he hides him in his room.
The head trainer, August, is a brutal man who abuses the animals in his care (such as the new elephant Rosie) and the people around him. Alternately, he can be utterly charming. Jacob develops a guarded relationship with August and his wife, Marlena, with whom Jacob falls in love. August is suspicious of their relationship and beats Marlena and Jacob. Marlena subsequently leaves August and stays at a hotel while she's not performing. Uncle Al then informs Jacob that August is a paranoid schizophrenic and then utters a threat: reunite August and Marlena as a happily married couple or Walter and Camel get red-lighted.
A few days later after discovering that August has tried to see Marlena, Jacob visits her in her hotel room. Soon after he comforts her however, the couple sleep together and then eventually declare their love for each other. Marlena soon returns to the circus to perform (and also to have secret meetings with Jacob), but refuses to have August near her, which makes Uncle Al furious.
One night Jacob climbs up and jumps each car, while the train is moving, to August's room, carrying a knife between his teeth intending to kill August. However, Jacob backs out and returns to his car, only to find no one there but Queenie. He then realizes that Walter and Camel were red-lighted and Jacob himself was supposed to be too.
As the story climaxes, several circus workers who were red-lighted off the train come back and release the animals causing a stampede during the performance.
In the ensuing panic, Rosie the Elephant takes a stake and drives it into August's head. His body is then trampled. Jacob was the only one who saw what truly happened to August. As a result of this incident, which occurred during a circus performance, the circus is shut down. Soon after, Uncle Al's body is found with a makeshift garrote around his neck. Marlena and Jacob leave, along with several circus animals (Rosie, Queenie and others), and begin their life together.
Ninety-three year old Jacob is waiting for his family to take him to the circus. It is revealed that Jacob and Marlena married and had 5 children spending the first seven years at the circus before Jacob got a job as a vet for a Chicago zoo. Marlena is revealed to have died a few years before Jacob was put into a nursing home. After finding out no one is coming for him, elderly Jacob goes to the circus on his own. He soon meets the manager Charlie and begs to be allowed to accompany the circus by selling tickets. Charlie agrees and Jacob believes he has finally come home.

Happy Roald Dahl Day!
It's September 13 and it's Roald Dahl's birthday!
I am a huge fan of Roald Dahl's movies like "Matilda" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Unfortunately, I have not been blessed with reading his books during my younger years, though I've listened to the songs of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in 1979. I just happened to learn when I chanced upon a book in a bookshop that the movies were actually stories by Roald Dahl!
My most loved and recommended movie to watch is Matilda. Please find the trailer below...
Sharing a few ebooks by Roald Dahl...

Music Monday - Too Young
Can't say much why I'm sentimental with this. I need just a little push to get up each day despite an illness that seems to cling to me. Oh no, nothing major just a low resistance to infection I think. You know me, stubborn and won't go to a doctor. The thought of the blood pressure monitor scares me and drives me insane. But I'm well now, thanks to water therapy and music :)
I'd like to share this other 1986 favorite song that's so close to my heart. (Yes, same with "With You All The Way") It's by Jack Wagner who also popularized "All I Need" among others. Back to the 80s again today!
Happy MM, everyone!

Music Monday - Can't We Try
I'm back again for this week's MM, I sure missed it during my busy week before.
This duet by Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard is a favorite during the quiet, sentimental moments especially when I just happen to tune in to the radio late at night. A classic from the 80's and another song with lyrics that I know by heart.

Yeah, so that's just what I did this afternoon on my 3rd day of illness from a combo of cough and colds. I took this scientifically trusted quiz, and true enough, it gave an accurate analysis that I am physically unwell. My sons read the rest of it and laughed out loud!

Music Monday - With You All The Way
I'm combining this Music Monday post with my Chriss Retro favorites today.
With You All The Way by The New Edition is one of my most-loved songs to listen to. I guess I know every word, every lyric and emotion that comes with it by now. It was rated a few times as most played song in the summer of '86 at our local radio station (hmm, now I remember 104.7 DWON as well).
Great start this month of August, Happy MM to all!

Steps To A Better You
I seem to lost count on how many times I've read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right. Not that I care (and personally I don't), it seems strange that we often see movie and TV stars as flawless people, living the fairytale life of riches and glamour. I suppose we all have to stop sticking our heads in the clouds and face reality.
There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem despite of how trivial it could get. But whatever happens, we should all try not to lose our own sense of self.
So what does it take to be a cut above the rest? Here are some of the things you can think and improve on that should be enough for a week.
1. Know your purpose
Are you wandering through life with little direction - hoping that you'll find happiness, health and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.
This may seem tricky at first when you see yourself to be in a tight or even dead end. But there's always that little loophole to turn things around and you can make a big difference to yourself.
2. Know your values
What do you value most? Make a list of your top 5 values. Some examples are security, freedom, family, spiritual development, learning. As you set your goals for the year -
check your goals against your values. If the goal doesn't
align with any of your top five values - you may want to
reconsider it or revise it.
The number shouldn't discourage you, instead it should
motivate you to do more than you can ever dreamed of.
3. Know your needs
Unmet needs can keep you from living authentically. Take care
of yourself. Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be right,
to be in control, to be loved? There are so many people who
lived their lives without realizing their dreams and most of them
end up being stressed or even depressed for that matter.
List your top four needs and get them met before it's too late!
4. Know your passions
You know who you are and what you truly enjoy in life. Obstacles
like doubt and lack of enthusiasm will only hinder you, but will not
derail your chance to become the person you ought to be.
Express yourself and honor the people who has inspired you
to become the very person you wanted to be.
5. Live from the inside out
Increase your awareness of your inner wisdom by regularly
reflecting in silence. Commune with nature. Breathe deeply to
quiet your distracted mind. For most of us city slickers it's hard
to even find the peace and quiet we want even in our own home.
In my case I often just sit in a dimly lit room and play some
classical music. There's sound, yes, but music does soothe
the savage beast.
6. Honor your strengths
What are your positive traits? What special talents do you have?
List three - if you get stuck, ask those closest to you to help
identify these. Are you imaginative, witty, good with your hands?
Find ways to express your authentic self through your strengths. You can increase
your self-confidence when you can share what you know to
others.
7. Serve others
When you live authentically, you may find that you develop
an interconnected sense of being. When you are true to
who you are, living your purpose and giving of your talents to
the world around you, you give back in service what you came
to share with others -your spirit - your essence. The rewards for
sharing your gift with those close to you is indeed rewarding,
much more if it were to be the eyes of a stranger who can
appreciate what you have done to them.
Self-improvement is indeed one type of work that is worth it. It
shouldn't always be within the confines of an office building, or
maybe in the four corners of your own room. The difference lies
within ourselves and how much we want to change for the
better.

Posted this just for laughs, not that my English is excellent because it ain't .. just ask my former classmates and my kin,whew!
With these photos that seem funny, I commend Pinoys who try hard to get their point across "basta naka-Ingles, pwede" It's the idea that matters, not minding the grammar. Nobody's perfect :)
