No Other Woman

Last night, I had the chance to watch the movie “ No Other Woman” which stars Anne Curtis, Derek Ramsay and Cristine Reyes. Well, for all those who haven’t heard of it, the story is pretty simple.  Perfect family, husband and wife (Ramsay- Reyes). Husband sees a gorgeous, flirty and “challenging” woman.  Husband does the killer first kiss. Husband cheats. Husband falls in love. Wife catches the affair. Wife attacks . Gorgeous woman retaliates. Then, the famous lines. End of story. This story is rich of killer lines. Outfits were gooorgeous. Lots of "ouchy" scenes. I may say, it is now on my top Tagalog favorite movies. Well, I guess I’m biased of Anne Curtis, being my favorite. Plus, her portrayal of a uber perfect role.  Love it!

I admit, I cried. And I still enjoy the hangover of it. I got touched by both the characters of Curtis and Reyes.  I guess, I simply just understand them both. Not that I played both roles in my previous life, but, may be that I felt the pain on both situations.---  Of course, being a feminist, I hate Ramsay’s character.  But then I have no choice since every character is this world is well-represented. I just hope I don’t get to breathe the same air with them. Anyway, going back. For me, it’s not entirely Curtis’ fault but as can be carved out from the movie, it just appeared that it was her sole decision. But I guess, it just shifted out from the idea on who's to blame.  It just instead focused on the scenarios and probably was just custom-fit for the mindset of the viewers, that is-- “the third party is always to blame”. Well, its going to move away from its plot if the story would delve on that. Then, it would be boooring.

It’s nice to watch this kind of local films. Not so much of a drama. Not so much of unreality to please the viewers. Not so phony. But rather, straightforward. Sapul-- if I may say. And I looove it!

Random Thoughts

It’s a new year and I realized, I have not written my thoughts for quite some time now. Days and months have passed, and things are quite the same still. You know what’s different? The impact. These days, I have quite grown to live with the challenges in my life. But don’t get me wrong. I still cry the ugliest cry. I still bawl in the CR in a snap. I still shout while driving. I still feel worried. I still feel anxious that anytime someone from behind will stab me, literally and figuratively. I still feel the pain. I still am sad of things that happened and that were done to me. But as they say, you do not and cannot forget the pain. You just learn to live with it. Until now, no one has sincerely sent an apology or showed regret. I shouldn't wait, really. Maybe there will come a time that they will realize the scar they left on me. Maybe not. And I am still trying not to care. I’m persuading myself that because I have different views and practice from people I grew up with,...

Chacha of Camella Homes

I am joining the bandwagon. Now, probably like you, the one beside you, or the one you saw yawning this morning (for so long as he watches television), I have become fascinated with Chacha Canete. Yes, she's the cute little girl in the Camella Homes commercial with the jingle bulilit bulilit . Admittedly, she’s not the cutest little kid television has ever shown, but, I think everything in that commercial seemingly befits her. I especially enjoy the scenes when she was walking with her arms tucked, when she was chewing her food and mostly, the one when she looked around and finally realized she’s in a bigger house. Cute cute!   How do you teach such young age to act naturally?                                               ...

They say, you do not fully love someone if trust is not present. But what if you have grown to love someone altogether with the entire cast of trust, and, eventually, one of the casts breaks down? Again and again without remorse. Is love then questionable? My building of trust which took me quite a while to rebuild was again ruined by a very lame-hitting bat.   I don’t understand why such happened.   Outside factors believe that I may have been holding on tight. I would definitely want to refute that. Even this someone, would, I believe so. And even if otherwise,   I strongly believe that nobody deserves that.   And then again, I still cannot understand. You see, I am facing the altar in months. And on my road towards there, I need full force on my hands. If only I could pick up the broken glasses on my way there, I would. But then, it does neither take my way there nor months to pick them up.    I don’t even know if these glasses can be ...
