Hunger games movie

I’ve already read the sequel of hunger games and it was so good. As in imaginably epic. When I heard that they are going to make a movie about this I was like, well I don’t want to expect a lot from the director since we already had this twilight book adaptation and those 4 books may be describe in one adjective, bad film.
I decided to watch the movie at Galaxy Cinema here in Macau and it was very cool and awesome. Way beyond that I was expecting. I never thought that they can make it like how the book defines everything, but I really think that the director is very good in doing that. There are only 2 outcomes that you may attain when you are making a film base on books, its either you can make it way better than the book, or worse. The director of the film succeeded though in making this movie a hit.
I reserved a seat for the 9:40 pm show at around 2 in the afternoon and there were like only 10 free seats that I can choose from. That’s when I realized that this is going to be a blockbuster! I watched the movie with my roommate and she got goose bumps while watching the movie even if she hasn’t read the book yet. I told her that the movie was detailed and you can really call it as book adaptation. I really enjoyed the movie and with McDonalds’ burger and fries on my lap. I watched the movie relaxed and full (not like the people in the movie, if you know what I mean).
For details regarding this book, you can check my blog entitled “what’s special in “hunger games movie”. Watch this in cinema and the odds may ever be with you J
Happy watching!

Cold mornings…

March 21, 2012 and I am feeling a little bored in what I’m doing. I want something new, something that I can look forward to in waking up early and to feel very excited form getting up of my bed. I am alone, in my room and the ambiance is very cold.
It’s been a year since I left Philippines to go abroad to work. I never realized that my life here would be so dull and well, normal. I am working as a Resorts Receptionist at one of the prestigious hotel here in Macau and to tell you honestly, I can really say that I am overpaid, yet still not contented. I am aiming for a higher position because I told myself that I am not getting any younger. I know that sooner or later I should stop going to work and have to stay at home and take care of someone. I need to reach the goal that I had set for myself to achieve before retiring as a housewife. Yes, I am planning to be a plain housewife after I get married. It’s not that I don’t want to be a career woman after getting married or want to have a normal life like any other woman out there, but that’s what my parents suggested me to do. They said that according to the bible, women were designed to be at home taking care of their husbands and their children.
I am 25 years old and my career clock is already ticking. I want a promotion! I told myself when I left my home country. I want something new. I want to gain more knowledge and be more responsible in what I do. I’ve spoken with my boss and I already heard so much on what to do and what are not to do, but I was still left confused and everything is still vague. I’ve spoken with the pastors’ wife and she told me that if I think I am not ready yet then I should just need to wait and prepare myself first. I also know to myself that I am not qualified yet but in my heart I want to strive for more. I want to gain more knowledge and more experience. In short, I AM OBSESSED IN WANTING MORE!
I will pray for this and I know that my time will come that I will be in whatever place I wanted to be. I just need to learn more and train myself harder than before. I just hope that our father in heaven will guide me through all the way. I will hope and pray that the best are yet to come.

I enjoyed Singapore

It was my birthday and I wasn’t expecting that my parents would allow me to go to Singapore and visit my boyfriend. I never thought that they can be lenient as such.
I’m turning 25 and I don’t know how to spend my birthday until my parents suggested that in this age, I should already be seeing the world. I told them that I want to go to Singapore. I want to see the place and visit my boyfriend at the same time.
Day 1
I flew with Tiger Airways and had 4 hour flight. When I arrived there at Singapore Budget Terminal, I called my uncle so that he can pick me up from the airport since my boyfriend was not available that time since he has work and its Friday. My uncle though can sneak out from his office and pick me up at the airport then bring me back to his work place. After his work my boyfriend picked me up and we ate at Marina Bay area at “Makansutra” which there are a lot of kiosk to choose from, international cuisine and you can see Hotel Sands from where we were dining since its outdoor. We stayed there for some few hours even if there was a light rain and after that took a stroll at the Marina Bay sands and took pictures of the Merlion.
Day 2
Sentosa Island is our 2nd day stop wherein there are a lot of outdoor activities that you can choose from. They have this luge, the forest tramp, segway, iFly, etc. There are I think 2 ways that you can go to Sentosa Island, first is through cable car which is expensive and the other one is through their monorail. We tried the cable car first and our first stop upon arriving there is KFC restaurant. It was past 12 so I think we need to recharge our battery first before going for those activities. Second stop is the luge which we enjoyed the most, 3rd we tried the forest tramp stroll the beach and 4th went back up hill while sitting on a bench connected to a cable (I don’t how it’s called, can be use when mountain skiing). We took the cable car going back to the train station and finally finished our itinerary for the day.
Day 3
I love amusement parks and that’s why our second stop is the Universal Studios Singapore. We enjoyed our time together and taking photos as well to some cartoon characters that we bumped while walking and photos while riding some of the kiddie rides. Our first ride is at the “Madagascar theme” wherein we are riding on a boat and while going inside the cave, a voiceover will tell you the story of Madagascar and there will be stuffed animals moving. It was a fun for a kid, I’m a kid at heart so I had fun too. After that we tried the far far away land which I we all know was based on the Shred movie. It was a 4d experience and believe me if I say 4d, you can experience the wetness of the movie and all the shaking while sitting on their moving chairs. Our next stop was The Mummy. This rollercoaster ride was fun too because you will never expect what will happen next since inside the chamber is pure blackness aside from the TV showing about the movie, we actually kept a photo from that ride J. Next we tried the Transformers the ride. This is way to cool since you can actually feel and imagine that you are riding the on a car with robots. COOL! After all of those exhausting rides, we dine at a diner inside the amusement park and had our biggest burger every, soda, ice cream soda and fries! Yum! Best meal after all of those tiring rides + hot weather of Singapore.
We rested for a while and tried our next stop was the Lost World, we were riding a boat and there will be splashes of water from both sides. Everybody was wet of course except from the both of us. Yikes! Oh before I forget, we also did watch some Steven Spielberg how to make a film and a musical show at a theatre. Last ride that I tried was the roller coaster ride. There are 2 types of roller coaster there, one red and one blue, the red one is for human and the blue one is for cyclone. I tried the blue one and yes I tried it without my boyfriend, he is afraid of heights and I don’t know why he always wants to go there (maybe chicken). We visited the beach at Sentosa after and sat there for few hours while watching everyone do their routine.
Day 4
I woke up late and we went straight ahead to his doctor for his medical check-up because he was absent that day. An excuse so that he can be with me on my last day there in Singapore. We planned that we will be meeting my uncle again before I go back to Macau and to have dinner with him. Unfortunately his appointment with his doctor will be after some hours because of the long queue. He decided to bring me to my uncle first go back to his doctor and go back again for our last dinner. While waiting for him, me and my uncle had each glass of something to quench our thirst first and talk about what me and my boyfriend did while in Singapore. We enjoyed our talks and end the night with smile and sadness in our hearts for we will be away again from each other.
Day 5
Nothing much to say here since this was the day that I went to airport to go back to Macau where I work. Accomplishment for me since I went there all by myself. I had a very long journey which took me 1 and a half hour to travel. I took a bus, train, train, train, and a bus. Phew. Good thing I didn’t get lost. J
Those 5 days were fun. I wished my family was there with me to enjoy the place. The people were very civilized, the country is clean, there was no pollution at all, no spits or cigarette butts on the floor and most of all I felt safe. To top of everything, I was with my boyfriend.

Breath in breath out

I woke up this morning and realize that I was not taking a nap anymore. I was never disturbed by any noise or something that will make me grumpy for the whole day. I’m awake and I’m thankful that again I have another day to live.
Sunday morning and everything still seems to be a blur. My heart is still pumping and that’s how I know that I’m still hurting. Too much thoughts rushing in my head, bills, our house for next month, and last but not the least, the most unexpected thing, my relationship with my love one. I never really thought of losing someone who is so dear to me, but making me feel these pain inside my chest is really unhealthy for me, lack of sleep and very stressful. I never imagined that this guy, that I adore the most, thought at first that he will be perfect for me, will always understand me at my worst, in a snap will actually going to break my heart.
I am not quite sure if you will understand my dilemma but let me tell you how everything happened. One night and he told me that some of his ex—colleague will visit Singapore and he and his roommate will pick them up at the airport. No biggie if they happen to be mere colleagues but they’re not. One of them happens to be his ex-crush. I know I shouldn’t overreact until he informed me that they will be staying at their house and in his room (he will be staying at the living room though). Jealousy overcame my control and crushed me whole. I would never understand, I don’t think that anyone will. Until I realize that these things make me erupt so easily, and it’s not good.
I prayed and prayed harder to ask for guidance and then I know what to do. He gave me wisdom and here what I think it is. We have been dating for 3 years now and I know that this is going to be a tough year for us. I also noticed that for those 3 years that we’ve been together, we’ve been fighting a lot but nothing serious. I noticed that I love him too much that my happiness always relies on him. That I should be happy if he will be with me or talking to me, if he will smile to me and will tell me sweet nothings, will sing to me and hold my hands like my hands are incomparable to other girls, hug me tight that he doesn’t want to let go, pick me up and bring to places that I need to go to, but everything is not like that anymore. I now realized that I’m not that important girl anymore, I know now that I’m not his priority anymore and that he have a life there, and that is away from me.
As for me I was left hanging, wanting him to be as sweet as before and as committed as before. Everything changed except from the daily web chats but those chats became empty and dull. The laughs were gone and the enjoyments of two people in love were not there anymore. Surprises became disappointments, enjoyment became silence and the relationship became obligation.
I’m depressed and hurting… I need to fall in love with myself again; I need time for myself and treat myself as a princess like before. I want to feel wanted, missed and loved. I want to be treasured and not to be treated like something cheap that would always be available. I want to breath.

Oh my luggage!

After a long time…being preoccuppied by my daily chores and entertainment in life made me forget writing here blogs. To the people who reads my nonsense blog, I am sorry for not being inconsistent in writing.

ANywho,.. I found a very nice blog that I find interesting to read. This may concern people who actually love to travel. I found her blog because I am actually planning to go to Singapore, to visit the place and also to see my baby (our terms of endearment of me and my boyfriend). Well, I am planning on not having a check-in luggage which I should say that everybody knows is somewhat hassle and expensive when travelling. Since i want to cost cut my expenses, i decided that i will just be a backpack-er and will only bring one bag if i will go there. Thats why i found this blog. Feel free to visit this site www.onebaggirl.com wherein she will give you tips and do’s & dont’s when travellng.

Let me tell you this,l had a dilemma on which bag i should buy. I went to check the internet and i decided to buy a “Northface” bag. I loved the design of it and also the main concept of the bag. I told myself that it would be a small gift for myself on my approaching birthday. I checked the internet and see whether they have a shop here in macau and BOOM! They have a shop in new yaohan which is the only shopping mall here in macau aside from hotels that have boutiques. I went there the day after I’ve seen it only not to find what i am longing.

I got disappointed when i arrived there and noticed that they only have small sizes of the bags. I got frustrated and decided to check on different brands instead. Thats the time that I found this brand “tough” which is an itallian product but doesn’t have a laptop bag inside. Well, to make the long story short, i ended up buying a Nike bag, black and have many storage in it. It is big enough (I think), and have a laptop space in it with cushions. It is plain black so i am thinking of adding some more colors in it by crocheting some threads and attaching it to the bag,

I’m still planning on where i want to go withing the country and what i want to do there. I also haven’t book my ticket yet but hopefully i will finish everything that i needed before my birthday. To all my readers.. Any suggestion will do. Just post your comment below.

This is the day!

This is it! Today was the day and the last call time is 5:30 in the morning. I and my roommate slept 21:00 and woke up around 4 am so that we will be prepared for marathon. We woke up, have our oatmeal and 2 bananas for breakfast and then off we go. I wore my full attire costume from the company that I am working at, wore my bonet and gloves because we were expecting that it is gonna be cold in the morning. I wore a sando inside, warmer, shirt and the jacket.

Tomorrow is the day!

Waaah!Tomorrow is the day and when I woke this morning, weather forecast was 11degrees!! What the hell!! how can I run tomorrow morning and wake up around 4 AM for my marathon. Me and my friend are going to the event and we are going to walk to the stadium. The problem is, this morning, we did try running and since it was freakin’ cold, next thing we know, we were panting just after a minute or two of running, for our throat got dried due to the cold wind that we were inhaling.
