Me & Marley Movie Review

Image
Cinematic Intelligence Agency A very late post…  After the seemingly unending hour of heart thumping and nerve-wracking incident which by the way happened last night (no need to elaborate on the gory details), I decided veering away from the drama and tension IT life is bombarding me with. I watched Koizara and Marley & Me. Don’t get me wrong on this, both films were tearjerkers but the latter was less as poignant as the former one. And after watching Marley & Me with swollen eyes, I decided to blog my thoughts on the movie (a very nice way to break the ice and jumpstart my blog). Oh well, here are my thoughts… If you’ve seen HACHIKO which made me cried buckets of tears then Marley & Me will give you that same feeling but with a touch of familial connection. The story revolves around the married life of John and Jenny (both writers by profession) and their endless plans for them and their soon to be family. With the hectic life both couple have

3 Idiots Movie Review

Image
Released on 2009, the movie focuses on the friendship of three Engineering students namely: Rancho, Farhan, and Raju. It centers on the star-crossed lives of the three men and the struggles they experienced during their stay at the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). A flashback of their school memories were used to direct the plot of the movie. The story starts with Farhan faking a collapse just to return to ICE and look for Rancho alongside with Raju and Chatur also known as “The Silencer” . Their search for their lost friend brought them to the far flung places of India. And the journey keeps on getting interesting as the plot thickens into a variety of twists and turns.  Moral Lesson of the story The movie taught me how to live my life the way I wanted it to be. It also made me realize that what matters most are the things that will make me happy.   Most struggling students out there might relate to Farhan’s situation, maybe because their parents have alread

My Girlfriend is A Gumiho KDrama Review

Image
My co-editors have already seen it. My classmates are already singing to the tunes of it. My friends are acting a bit weird when it rains on a sunny day. I always see the line “nomu nomu nomu chua” on facebook. And now, I can eventually say that the gumiho mania has already invaded the recesses of my thoughts, actions, feelings, and many more. You want to know why? Then read along... The unforgettable and funny duo of Cha Dae Woong and Miho proved to be an effective bead to everyone. Whether you’ve laughed your heart out or cried a tear or two you can never ever compare the whimsical feeling that emanates from your insides the moment you set your eyes on the boob tube. I’ve been hearing a lot of good feedbacks from the hit Korean series but I was occupied by then with the blooming love story of Jamie and Owen (Secret Garden). Sad to say GMA kept on prolonging the latter so I was bored to death, especially with the encore runs of Temptation of Wife which ate a

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two Movie Review

Voldemort: The boy who lived come to die. I just can’t help myself with all the Harry Potter mania going about without me watching it. You see, I got a very bad day yesterday. It so happen that the bad vibes were prevalent from the time the day started until last midnight. The pressure was suffocating me that I forgot that academic performance is not that important to me (that I realized when I got my first 3.0 from my Trigonometry teacher... Ma’am toot, Thanks by the way!) The moment I got home from the killing atmosphere of school stuffs I decided watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. The video quality was mediocre what can I do? I needed to watch the film badly. Even though I asked my beloved sister for movie tickets I still end lying and watched the movie on my netbook. (Sorry sis, I need the money badly that’s why I decided to go thrifty all the way. But thanks though!) After watching it, a part of me died. I’ve been so attached to the books that’s why

Goodbye

  T’was Friday and it was raining, a hard one. Along the pavements I walked shuffling. My thoughts were incoherent, even my breathing was hard and relentless. With a bottle in my hand I blabber out things and even cursed to a passerby. Not knowing my destination, where my life would lead me. I kept on walking the wet asphalt. “I’m done with you!” She said. “Why? What have I done to deserve this?” “Nothing, I just need time and space because the spaces between us are getting thinner. And you know what? The more it thins the lesser my feelings are for you” “How could you leave me hanging without a proper reason?  I almost shouted. “Do you want to know why? Because I don’t love you anymore. It’s hard to stay like this. And it is difficult for me to fake everything. At first, I held on because I know you’ll get hurt. But as time went by, I realized I don’t like it anymore. The faking up, it’s not like that anymore.” She looked indifferent with every word she said. She left

Ow-Jay-Tee Part 6 Top OJT Songs

Image
I love music. You can never take that away from me. And because of that I usually incorporate songs to my life. When I’m down, I have a particular song that plays in the background of my reverie. When I’m having LSS, the song will be on the list of my “overrated” and “overplayed” songs. Music is life. It tells things about life. It explains things that are unexplainable and expresses emotions that are suppressed. Here are the songs that remind me of my Internship period. From the start of it until the last date (which will be next week. Yey!). 1.        Goodbye Days -           This was my LSS during my first week at Emerson. It has that nostalgic feel on it, that even if you cannot understand its lyrics you unconsciously stop for a moment and give it a try and absorb it as it is. This was also our friendship anthem with my EMT friends. Thanks to Emerson (real person for introducing the song to us.) 2.        Back to December -           I would really

Ow-Jay-Tee (Part 5) my co-interns…

Long gone were the days of isolation and aloofness, they were all just memories of the past. Long gone were the days of being alone: eating lunch alone, eating snacks alone, getting my allowance alone, and laughing alone. The walls I’ve made for myself vanished in thin air and it was with my knowing that this point will come… and it sure did! To date, I’m the oldest and the remaining OJT from the previous batch of OJTs in Test Department (that includes Patrick, CM, Nelly, Shane, etc.). So, I’m already a relic; prehistoric and extinct (okay, point taken). But with the outgoing OJTs, there should be incoming OJTs to fill the available slots that the outgoing OJTs left behind. And I’m glad to know that because of the new OJTs, I was able to change my old ways. Because I’m not a loner,   I just don’t feel the pool of OJTs I have back then and I’m thankful that I was able to break through my comfort zone and   believe the fact that no man   is an island. Here are my co-interns and
