Let's support Earth Hour 2010
Tonight we will be turning off our lights for an hour from 8:30 - 9:30 PM (our local time)
We believe in conserving our environment and reducing our carbon footprint.
I strongly believe that if we can make a concerted effort to care for our environment, it will also be kind to us.

Alice in Wonderland
I heard so much good reviews about the latest movie, Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland" shown March 5th, that I thought of posting a short entry about the story. I have not seen the movie yet, though I would love to see it on the big screen. I heard the special effects and costumes are really fantastic!
This book by Lewis Carroll was one of those books I read as a fifth grader in completion of a required book report in school. Back then, after I indeed read the book, yet thought that a book report meant copying the 1st paragraph and the last paragraph of the story, then adding the book cover description in the middle of those two paragraphs. (honestly!) So you can imagine how short my book report was!
Typical 11-year-old me. All I fondly remember of the story was "Curiouser and curiouser".... :)
I should have written my book report similar to THIS

Welcome Summer!
Noticed that everyday the temperature is getting hotter and hotter in the Philippines? School is not yet out but it feels like an early summer for us. Despite what the weather reports and El Niño updates say, I love summer as always!
Summer for us here in the province is a time to build, to plant and even to pause and breathe awhile from the daily necessities of kids in school. (Vacation soon, yey!) Best yet is the time spent together with family during visits to the nearby beach!
I always have happy memories of summer being the "tourist" that I used to be :) Reading books, hanging out with friends, going to the movies, listening to the radio and yes, how could I forget, eating halo-halo to cool off. Hmm, I miss those carefree summer days, yet the happy feeling is always here! ^_^
I'd like to share favorite songs about summer that I gathered last year. A few are not really about summer but they were played on the airwaves once upon a summer.
Surfin' USA by The Beach Boys
Summer Nights by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John
The Heat Is On by Glenn Frey
Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams
Cruel Summer by Bananarama
I Remember You by Skid Row
Desert Moon by Dennis Deyoung
hehe, I admit I'm an 80's person ^_^
... .... any more suggestions? Let me know.
Add me on Facebook and I'll share my summer songs with you :)
No more pencils....
no more books...
No more teacher's dirty looks!
Out for summer!
out till fall,
We might not come back at all
....
-Alice Cooper, 1972

A Stupid Cupid Story (My Own)
"You don't remember me, but I remember you. T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two. Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you..."
Just adding drama to it, of course, hehehe!Just to paraphrase from another song I used to listen ~ "A tear fell when I watched our batch presentation. You were in the arms of someone else. No wonder all those times I was left alone and feeling blue. (I'm exaggerating here) The picture told me now that your love was not meant for me... A fool I was, a fool I was... in love." patawa lang! it's so corny and cheesy!
Our batch profile on Friendster makes me smile! Lots of pictures there of my batchmates and a growing list of former classmates. I remember last year when we had our high school reunion. One picture made me go back in time when I was so foolishly in love with love itself that I was super-infatuated with this particular guy from my class. I'm just saying this because it's not him that I would truly like to remember, but to remember what a carefree person I once was. These tons of memories are always with me even on friend's birthdays, valentines, Christmas, New Year and every HS reunion.
How bad was it? How foolish was I back then?
I thought of him at least every hour in a day. I dreamed of him often. I would wish every night that tomorrow will be The Day he will tell me he likes me (yes, back then I was a good old-fashioned girl, you get that from listening to Teresa Brewer). And true enough the following day would almost be the day I was praying for.
Almost.... but we were always in class, surrounded by classmates, teachers and peers. And I thought he could never say that because (maybe) he might think he will embarrass me in front of a lot of people.
So I tried to get his attention anyhow, in other ways.... when he distributes workbooks in class, I'd pretend to accidentally hold on to his hand and say, "Whoops, I'm sorry" or if he borrows my Algebra Assignment, I'd gladly lend it to him; if he borrows my pen I would do the same.... ahh, so many incidents. Yet, ugh, that was me?But he NEVER got the message, not even when I sent him a pre-Valentines card, he didn't search that well for me. I knew he showed the greeting card to our male classmates, just so he would know who sent it (he was trying to get clues thru the handwriting but I thought of that beforehand and asked a close friend to hand-write me that letter instead) He was even calling out for "Small Wonder" hoping maybe that "Small Wonder" would reply but hey, I never looked back at him. I knew he was seated at the far corner of the room, I kept a straight face pretending to be reading.
He never got the message, not even when his older brother courted me (after our JS prom) and he was the only link we had for communication. He was only playing matchmaker here, and I could just thank my lucky stars that at least he was talking to me now.Just one day, he came near me, sat beside me and said in a "lovingly yours" fashion ~
"Chris... someone says "hello"....."
I smiled sweetly and said "Really? Who?" (can it be you?)
"My brother..." NYAIIKS!
Then he went on to build up his brother like he was recommending a valuable employee..... ending the conversation with, " So, will I tell him it's okay?.... He's going to see you on our graduation .... hey, he's a handsome dude... I'll tell him that you also have a crush on him!!" He was so loud that our classmates and adviser heard him, they teased us thinking it was him who was courting me (embarrassing!), he was so happy for his brother he actually jumped for joy!
I just smiled, shaking my head,telling myself, " oh no, if you only know..."
Yet, aargh, nothing came of it because.... ganun pala ~ back to that batch presentation picture......a fool am I, a fool am I in love
wahahahaP.S. As of April 2010, he found me (and the rest of the batch) on Friendster and lately on Facebook. Ehem, hint: ******27
Lyrics Grease - Tears on My Pillow lyrics
FYI, I listened to these kind of songs when I was in high school and college kasi eh, so this is the song that comes to mind

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks
A romantic book by Nicholas Sparks which has the element of romance described in the most interesting manner. The story begins with an elderly man named Noah who is with Allie, an elderly woman, and he reads a love story from his notebook to her. Allie is his wife who is suffering from Alzheimer's. During their early years she wrote a love story and shared it with the elderly man Noah that was written inside the notebook. She handed over the book to him requesting him to read it to her when they get older.
In this notebook it was written all the years that they have spent apart- when they lost communication during the wartime and when they were separated by her parents. In it also was written the year when they found each other again up to the time they began a family and spent wonderful years together.
Read this book, it is such a heart-warming story. I recommend it for incurable romantics!
