Crazy Thoughts: Quotable Quotes 4

[caption id="attachment_196" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Errr. "][/caption]

I haven't been myself lately due to an unknown reason for the nth time. For that past few days, I've been all over the metro looking for this particular person at this specific location at an explicit time. Running here and there, going in and out of the metropolis, to the point that I almost got lost in Makati City last week out of sheer madness and stupidity! Blah!

Thank you, Police person, for showing me the way to Greenbelt. :)

Anyways, I was browsing my mobile phone an hour ago and, as if inspired by an unknown mystical force, I suddenly realized that each of the following messages were either solutions or advices to every single problem I'm trying to solve: money, love, career, family, etc. I just hope that I won't take all of them literally or something. My head tends to get a little rough sometimes. Haha.

• The muscles of our hands are made to be involuntary so that we have to use it by will. At an early age, we are taught to "close-open" not just to exercise or stretch our hands. Maybe so that we know that in life there are 2 things to be considered: that is to hold on and then to let go. - Mia Mangibin


• Special persons are part of my memories that even time can never erase. And when I'm blessed with a person like you, my memories are worth keeping forever. - Rhea Landicho


• One song can spark a moment. One idea can change the world. One step can start a journey and prayer can change even the impossible one. - Gen Sepulveda


• Some people say that you don't know what you got till it's gone. But its really not like that. You always know what you have; you just never thought that you would lose it. - Mia Mangibin


• It is not being in love that makes you happy. It's who you're with that does. - RC


• All the water in the world could never sink a ship unless it gets inside. Likewise, all the pressures of the world can't tear you apart and can never hurt you, unless you let it in. - Joana leaño


• When you are down to nothing, God is up to something! - Lauren Amon


• When we are given heavy loads by God, it only means that we are worthy of His trust. He always listens when we pray yet He answers them in His own perfect time. - Kaye Lanuza


• Sometimes, we find ourselves feeling incomplete, longing for someone we can't explain and we are caught in the middle going nowhere. Weird, isn't it? But that's the beauty of being human. It is knowing that there is a purpose for each existence. And, whatever that may be, it is the reason why we still wake up breathing each day to discover the missing piece of puzzle that would make our lives complete. - Ruby Anne Gultiano


• Even if you do things the right way, some would still be unsatisfied. Some will not appreciate what you say and what you do, and there would always be people who would let you down too. But, for as long as you speak honestly from the heart, you'll be fine. This is not a perfect world. This is not a perfect life. Life is almost always unfair. But life loves the person who dares to live it. - RC

WALL-E

[caption id="attachment_573" align="aligncenter" width="202" caption="Wall-E by Disney & Pixar"][/caption]

"Out there is our home - home, AUTO! - and it's in trouble. I can't just sit here and do nothing. That's all I've ever done! That's all anyone has ever done on this blasted ship." - Captain B. McCrea, WALL-E

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to get myself a free movie pass (WALL-E at Trinoma) courtesy of my dear friend and former officemate, Kemi Buladaco. I was on my way home from a Makati seminar when he mentioned that he was bound for Trinoma to watch the said film. So, opportunistic as always, I rushed to Trinoma to meet him ASAP. Haha.

This is for you, Kemi, and all the things you have done for me in the past. Unlike before, this one's not that specific and enticing. Nevertheless, salamat ng sobra.

The film talks about WALL-E or Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class (Ben Burtt as the sound engineer) and his adventures to be with his love interest, EVE (Elissa Knight), which stands for Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. Being alone for more than 700 years, WALL-E developed a keen sense of curiosity with the things around him, as evidenced by his weird collection of trash. Also, during the early parts of the movie, WALL-E is seen as a hopeless romantic desperately yearning for EVE's undying approval and attention.

Of course, EVE discovered WALL-E's newly-discovered plant seedling, her one and only directive, then leaves Earth with the seedling bound for Axiom to reveal her findings. Unfortunately, Auto (Macln Talk), Axiom's internal robot pilot, isn't happy with EVE's discovery and plans to dispose of the seedling in order to save the entire Axiom population, as per Directive A113.

[caption id="attachment_589" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="EVE = Femme Fatale"][/caption]

WALL-E then embarks to Axiom in order to seek and help EVE attain her coveted directive. Of course, there were a lot of trials and perils (most of which were funny and crazy) and, most often than not, WALL-E and EVE found themselves in the brink of robotic annihilation. Luckily, a group of lunatic robots, alongside Captain McCrea (Jeff Garlin), were present to aid them against the nasty tricks of Auto. I terribly like MO (Microbe Obliterator)! He's seriously OC material! Haha. :)

In the end, WALL-E and EVE succeeded in their joint directive to save the plant seedling and lead the whole Axiom inhabitants back to their original home, planet Earth.

Generally speaking, the entire film was aimed at contemporary environmental concerns of the 21st century and its profound effects on mankind. WALL-E gave us a general picture of what can happen if we continue to abuse the environment and neglect the effects of our actions. Sadly, the film lacked a concise and specific stand on this matter, possibly due to its target audience: children.

But what it lacked in substance about these pressing concerns was properly compensated by the stunning signature Pixar animation that we all know and love. Every single entry was brilliant and visually stunning. The way WALL-E stacked all the boxed trash to literally build a New York-esque scenery during the early part of the film was splendid and enticing to the young audience. My eyes were literally gleaming during the entire flick!

Overall, the movie was a unique wake-up call to everyone that we all have our own special part in protecting and saving our environment. Every action leads to another, eh?

Coffee, Kemi? :)

GMA 7's Celebrity Duets Season 2

[caption id="attachment_552" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Image courtesy of igma.tv"][/caption]

Celebrity Duets Season 2 is finally here! I've been dying to see the entire show all over again since its Philippine debut last year. Yipee!

The show features a number of contestants from different Philippine industries with a little background on music, singing with a professional Pinoy singer. Of course, as the week progresses, a contestant will be eliminated till the finals night. The winner will be determined by tallied text votes from the TV viewers and the winner will share his or her price money with a chosen charity.

Season 2 contestants will include the following celebrities:

1. MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando


2. Former Bb. Pilipinas World Carlene Aguilar


3. Actor-Comedian-Politician Joey Marquez


4. Former Ms. International Melanie Marquez


5. Renowned Fitness Guru Corry Quirino


6. Ka-Toque Chef JL Cang


7. Fashion Designer JC Buendia


8. Professional Soccer Player Phil Younghusband

Season 2s judges has been revamped and they include:

• Freddie Santos - Concert & TV Director


• Danny Tan - Composer & Arranger


• Tessa Prieto-Valdes - Season 1 Grand Champion

And, as seen from the image above, singer-songwriter, Ogie Alcasid and Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez will still host the star-studded singing competition.

My bet? Errr. I'll have to wait and see their initial recital. I don't want to preempt anything. Although Chairman BF has an edge over the other 7 since he has been singing with other cabinet members, or so I've heard.

I can't wait for the premier on Saturday, the 23rd of August, 2008 after Manny Pacquiao's Pinoy Records. This is a MUST SEE show for me! I can't wait to laugh my heart out! Haha. :)

Coffee, celebrities?
