The movie “I Do”

Sunday morning (0ctober 3, 2010), Paivee asked me to accompany her to watch I Do for later in the afternoon, they will be going back to Laur, Nueva Ecija. Then we asked her dad and my mom if they will allow us to watch movie. They allowed us to watch movie but asked us to buy another 5 imitations of bags since when we called my aunt last night, she asked us to buy at least 10 shoulder bags and 5 body bags. We agreed then off we go to Sta. Lucia East Grand mall for it’s near in our house and the cinema costs cheaper than the Robinsons Malls.

By the time we arrived at Sta. Lucia East Grand mall, we go to movie house and bought tickets and then we bought foods to eat while watching the said movie.
The movie itself is awesome. "I Do" tackles about the controversies of following a certain tradition, early pregnancy, getting married at a young age, and finding the right person for you.

Mayumi (Erich Gonzales) is a girl with a happy disposition in life who dreams of meeting her "the one" someday. When she met Lance (Enchong Dee), a Chinese descendant, she knew he was "the one" she was waiting for, her faith and destiny. The two of them become lovers despite the unwillingness of their families to their love.

One day, an unexpected thing happened. Mayumi got pregnant and was forced to marry Lance. Although Mayumi liked it so much to become the bride of Lance, Lance on the other hand had doubts on Mayumi becoming his wife. Aside from that, their families are still not willing to marry both of them just because of a love child. Being a Chinese, Lance is obliged to marry also a girl of Chinese descendant to keep the Chinese blood tradition. Mayumi's family on the other hand felt they were betrayed because Lance promised to marry Mayumi because of their love child. Is marrying someone because of their baby worthy of saying "I do"?

What an exciting story! What a traditional kind of love.

Do watch and enjoy! Have a relaxing weekend. :]]

My 1 Day Adventure

It’s Saturday (October 2, 2010) morning, when my uncle called my mom and asked if she can accompany her to Divisoria in buying bags to be sent in Canada. Since my mom was a newly operated one (gallbladder stone) she asked me to accompany my uncle alone. I was kind of hesitant for I do not know the whole place. When we went there the last time, I am with her. I do not know the “pasikot – sikot” of that place. But my mom pleaded me for my uncle is already on their way to Cubao. They were from our province – Nueva Ecija. He’s with my cousin, her only daughter, Paivee.

It’s my opportunity to buy the things that I want alone. So I grab the opportunity and asked my mom to give me money. She gave me some. Then I went to Cubao alone. i will be waiting there for y uncle and cousin to arrived and then we will go to Divisoria.

Its 12 noon I’m waiting in the terminal of the five star buses for my uncle and cousin to arrive. They arrived at exactly 1:34 pm. I wait for them for almost 2 hours. 1 ½ hours and 4 minutes to be exact. By the time they arrived, we hurriedly went to Divisoria for we’ve got many bags to buy and I am not familiar to the said place so we have to get there as soon as possible. We rode LRT from Cubao to Recto and a jeepney fro Recto to Divisoria. When we got there, there are so any people buying and selling any cheap buys. Mostly imitations of the branded ones – the Coach, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and the like. There are also imitations of havaianas flip flops which costs only 60 – 80 pesos which when you buy it in the stall of havaianas originals will costs you 750 pesos above. I really love this place for there are so any cheap things you can buy. If you had 1, 000 pesos you can really buy a lot of things.

We bought 6 travelling bags and 4 body bags. All are imitations of the branded ones. I was wearing high heels so bought 1 imitation of havaianas. It’s really like the original ones, I was really amazed by how Pinoys imitate the originals. We are so into the cheap versions of the branded ones. We’re just being practical for we’ve got lots of work to do before we earn such money. After buying all the bags, it’s our time to eat lunch. At around 4pm we ate our lunch at Chowking’s Restaurant in Divisoria. Then off we go again to buy the things we want for ourselves.

It’s past 6 when we decided to go home. We rode jeepney again from Divisoria to Recto and LRT from Recto to Cubao, since in Cubao, there is a terminal for Cogeo fx’s. When we arrived in Cubao, we hurriedly go to the terminal and fall in line. My uncle asked me to buy donuts for my 2 siblings. We, me and y cousin Paivee bought one dozen of donuts at Dunkin Donuts for it is near in the terminal. Then we rode a van to get us in Cogeo.

It’s really a fun adventure for e, for I, myself only knows Cubao to Trinoma and S North alone. addtiotional to that, I can go to Divisoria to buy cheap things now. :DD

Kim’s Birthday

One Tuesday morning, I was quite surprised for my high school friend, Kimberly Mae Llabore texted and called me; inviting me to attend and celebrate her 18th birthday this coming Saturday. I was surprised for she had said that her super close friends are the one who’s invited. We are at the same course but with different schools. She pleaded me to come over and celebrate with her for I have told her that I had a duty on that day, I told her I would go if and only if I am not so stressed on that day then she hangs up.

Saturday came. I was not stressed that day. But I could not come for my parents do not allow me to for the party will start at around 6pm. “That’s already late and you’ve just got home from your duty at RPH,” my dad said. I texted Kim and told her I can’t come. I got no reply, just a call :)). No, not just a call from her, instead from her mom telling me and encouraging me to come. I can’t say NO for I, myself want to go. Then I pleaded my parents. They allowed me but with 2 conditions – they will drop me right in front of my friend’s house and I will not go home at our house here in Cogeo instead I should sleep over my cousin’s house in Simeona, Marikina for my friend’s house is just a jeepney away.

The celebration started. It is not that formal – no gowns and tuxedos at all but I had a lot of fun. Only 5 high school friends were invited. The rest were college friends but we got along each other smoothly. Though it’s not formal, we had 18 candles, 18 dances and so on. I am included in her 18 candles. We said our own speeches in front of her and that left her crying because for almost three years we do not forget them memories we had in the past.

It’s almost 12 in the midnight when we decided to go home. It’s really a fun night. We took a lot of pictures as a remembrance and posted it in our own facebook accounts the day after it has happened.
