The Girl Behind the Pen

NOTE: This is not only for Filipinos but for any nationalities out there also.

Yesterday, July 26, 2012, I had the chance to go to the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) to watch an Indie Film entitled “Bwakaw”.

If you are a fan of works of art; a frustrated artist; a desperate movie watcher; and a true Filipino, you should go to the CCP. CCP is located at Pasay,  City near the Mall of Asia and Star City.

It’s my first time to visit the said theater because I was not fond of going to such events like that in my childhood days. But now that I got to see it, I promised myself that I’m going back there.

Honestly, I was so amazed by the fact that Filipinos are great filmmakers; Filipinos are very talented and creative. Why? Try to watch at least one film and you’ll find the answer!

(Actually, the paragraphs above are from my original post here)

This is what I wore to the Cinemalaya 2012. Yes I know, my outfit is just another simple get-up compared to others who came. Honestly, I didn't have much time choosing clothes that I was going to wear.

Who says life is a matter of choice? well i guess it is.

Life is like a game. in order to win you have to play it right, now back to the first sentence, it’s a matter of choice because you’re the one who is playing it.

It was 10am when i sat down in front of the TV and trying to find a great movie and luckily i found one, it is THE LOVELY BONES on HBO. it’s a story about a 14 year-old girl who was murdered by their neighbor. at first it was so mysterious that i didn’t know who and why was she killed. and it turned out to be so interesting that i had finish it. I really liked it, no, i loved it. The story is great, so if you would ask me which part i liked about it i would answer you EVERYTHING because as the story goes there’s something that i have to find out and that’s what i’m looking for.

“You’re not supposed to look back, you’re supposed to keep going.” -Holly

The story tells us about life. About the past, Present, and the Future. If you are living in the present, don’t look at the past. it will only hurt you unless your past is great? you won’t be able to move and go on with your life if you are still living in your past.

“I was slipping away, that’s what it felt like, life was leaving me, but I wasn’t afraid; then I remembered: “There was something I was meant to do; somewhere I was meant to be.” - Susie Salmon

And yes, don’t afraid to die, be ready. If you still aren’t just think of this, “when the moment of your life is over, it isn’t. Sure your body is dead and frozen but in fact you are alive. You just have to leave your body lying underground but you will go up and have to meet Him. When your time is up, there’s a new life waiting for you, where there is no pain, no hunger, but full of happiness.
