Jonnie in all her glory

"waaa.."

Thian Hock Keng Temple - SG


" The Replica "

If you stand at the entrance of the Thian Hock Keng Temple and look outwards, it's hard to believe that this temple was once by the sea.

Singapore in my Chinese eyes



"Chinatown in my eyes"


"Souk in a nap"

"The color in my own world"


The Way Home

" A real tear jerker, i cried a river when i've watched this film. I love this movie. The most heart warming story i've ever encounter in my life. Love your mother and grandmothers that's the only gift you can give them. "

The story begins on a fine summers morning, when Sang-woo (Yu Seung-ho) and his mother board a bus to the country. It is soon clear that the unsophisticated rural passengers annoy the seven-year-old urban boy. His mother is taking him to live with his 78-year-old mute, but not deaf, grandmother (Kim Eul-boon) while she looks for a new job after a business venture failed in Seoul. Eventually they reach their destination, a dusty bus stop in the Korean countryside near an unsophisticated village.
By now Sang-woo, who has arrived with junk food and toys, has no intention of respecting his mute grandmother especially as her house has neither electricity nor running water. His mother apologises for leaving the boy, telling her own mother it will not be for too long before leaving on the next bus. Alone Sang-woo ignores his grandmother, not even wanting to look at her and even calling her a byungshin, or "retard". Next morning, his grandmother starts another day. She goes down the hill to get clean water and washes her clothes at the river. She also tends the melons that she will sell at the market.
One of the Grandmother's neighbours is a hard-working country boy who attempts to become friends with Sang-woo, who declines until the end when he apologizes for making fun of him. The other is a young girl who Sang-Woo falls in love with, but she is more interested in the country boy.
The grandmother, who also cares for her old friends very much, lives a simple and humble life. Eventually, from constant play, Sang-woo's Game Boy runs-out of batteries so he asks his grandmother for money for new ones. But she is poor and has none. Selfishly he teases her, and in an intolerant manner throws away her shoes, breaks one of her vases and draws graffiti on her house walls.
When this fails to get money from his grandmother, Sang-woo steals her ornamental hairpin to trade for batteries. He then goes off to find the shops. When he finally finds the right place he attempts to trade the silver hairpin but instead of getting batteries the shop keeper, who happens to be his grandmother's friend, hits him on the head and sends him home.
One day Sang-woo demands Kentucky Fried Chicken. But as the grandmother only understand "chicken", she takes some of her melons and trudges off to the market to buy a chicken. Bringing back a live one in the rain, she prepares a home-made boiled chicken instead of fried chicken. When Sang-woo wakes up he sees the boiled chicken he gets angry, throwing the food away. Later in the night he finishes the food because he is hungry. The next morning, his grandmother becomes ill and Sang-woo serves her the remaining chicken while caring for her.
Despite the hardships faced by the old grandmother who has osteoporosis, the only thing she needs Sang-woo for is to run thread through her needles. She stitches the shoes and shares her earnings with a friend who ends their meeting with the words "Come by again before one of us dies."
Sang-woo remains angry and confused by the unfamiliar environment and repeatedly rejects her attempts to please him. But her unconditional love slowly touches his heart. One day, Sang-woo gets up early and goes with his grandmother to the market where he sees how hard his grandmother persuades passers-by to buy her vegetables. After a long day at the market she takes Sang-woo to a shop and buys him noodles and new shoes. When they are about to board the bus home, Sang-woo asks his grandma to buy him a Choco Pie.
The grandmother goes to a shop that is run by an elderly friend. The shopkeeper, who now has a bad knee, gives her five or six pies but refuses to take any money, so the grandmother gives the shopkeeper a melon. But when the grandmother returns to the bus with the sweets, Sang-Woo says he wants to ride alone as the girl he likes is also on board. The grandmother tries to get Sang-Woo to take the rest of the produce with him but he refuses. The bus then leaves. Sang-Woo then has to wait for his grandmother to return wondering why it is taking her so long. He then realises that his grandmother has walked back from town carrying all her produce.
Eventually Sang-woo begins to love his grandmother, but because she is unable to read or write he makes some simple greeting cards, so she has some letters from him. Finally Sang-woo's mother returns and he goes back to Seoul. His depth of feeling for his grandmother are revealed when the bus leaves and he leaps to the back window to wave his tearful farewells. The film closes with the grandmother continuing to live alone in the thatched-roof house but with the letters of love from her grandson.
Before the end a credit notes the film is dedicated to all grandmothers around the world.



Saling


"Saling (The Best Mom in the World) "

She the one I love with all of my heart.
She who love & defend us when the rest of the world walks out on us
She who understand and back us up when all of them betrayed us
She who gave her unconditional love. My one and only "Mama"

I wish you all the best and good health, it is not mother's day and it's not your birthday today, though I'm always tough and never really that passionate in saying things I wanted to say though I'm saying it anyway "I love you Mama.. I always will"

"I just didn't notice you throughout my life, did I?" and I never did really say thank you for all the wonderful things you did for me personally, maybe because I'm not good at it or maybe i'm just too shy to show it but despite that I know I'm telling you all these things in my own special way, my kind of way.


Sorry kung hindi namin nakikita yung mga paghihirap mo. Mahal na mahal kita, I hope na maparanas ko sa'yo yung maganda at maayos na buhay na hindi mo pa nararanasan. Mama thank you sa lahat lahat ng mga ginawa mo para sa amin, hindi mo lang alam kung gaano kita pinapahalagahan. I'll be more nicer now and will help you more. Again I love you so much.

Thank you for the undying support and everlasting love.

Total Madness

Help me I wanna faint,
I just can't take it anymore.
Everything I've worked for had already gone,
and I don't know where to go.

I barely know where to start and
I don't know where my feet leads me
All I feel is the fume of madness inside me
I can't walk , I can't move
Im just standing here so alone

Trying to reach to that someone
who wears blank face and nonchalant stare
I scarcely know if he's deaf; i hardly pick if he's blind
All i just feel is i'm swathed of fright

I'm shattering into pieces
Chilling in cold, aching in pain
Help me, Help me
my head is in total madness.

I'm wrenching in agony
my eyes' full of fear
what will happen now, what will i do next
all in my troubled ears looping like a sphere.

My mind is in lunacy
I'm wandering in nowhere,
maybe in the midst of darkness
help me, help me, i'm losing it
my maddening life is eating me.


Paano ba to'?

nahihirapan na ako.. still strugling..i want to reach my goals pero bakit ang hirap hirap, hindi ko na alam ang dapat kong gawin...i'm getting paranoid with each passing day.

i am so disappointed with what's happening in my life now, it's just getting hard and hard and i don't know where and how would i start building myself again, i just lost it, it feels like i'm just not good enough, and most of all it feels like im stuck with it.

what do i need to do, what would i need to do to get out of here, when can i be right on track again.

If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.

Martha Cecilia's Kristine

When I heard ABS CBN was making a TV Series of Kristine, I was excited, but wondered how well they'd bring the story to life, so I reread Martha Cecilia's brilliant novels, I thought I would give this adaptation a try, but the TV adaptation is very disappointing the characters of Margarita and Julia just made the series so cheap, and the story was twisted and corrupted to the highest level.

I have always worried that making such a masterpiece of a book into a TV Series would disappoint many. I was so right. This adaptation makes absolutely no sense.


I was looking so forward to this TV series. I absolutely loved the book and all of its characters. I thought it was an abomination. They completely destroyed a beautifully well written story. If they had kept to the book they would have had a great great series.

As such, I kind of dreaded seeing the adaption, but even as it couldn't - and doesn't - do the books justice, It goes without saying, though I'm saying it anyway, the book was so much more better than what they did in TV.

To the writers i think you never really read MC's books because if you did it will leave an imprint on your soul and you will not ruin it.

I love him but sometimes love just ain't enough

I love him and I know that, but sometimes he's getting into my nerves and I just can't hold myself anymore. I know it's not right to throw harsh words and slap it on his face but I just cant help it. I don't know when he's gonna learn that life isn't just a virtual game or any game in his psp for that matter. He already wasted a lot and was discarded many times all because of that stupid game in the net which he became so fixated about, no matter how much I persuade him not to get rapt with it still he will revert back and embrace it even he knows that I am fuming with madness already. I wanted to scream, I wanted to bawl, because I don't know what to do anymore he craves for it, It's like he was wedged to it, and regardless of what I do his senses was already affixed to it. Sounds petty but obsession and addiction can always ruin a marriage, too early to say but nevertheless an undeniable fact. I love him but sometimes love just ain't enough.
