Destressed by a Movie

I have been insomniac for more than a week now, perhaps, this is all because I am bothered by a lot of things that leaves me restless for days. And in my quest for peace of mind, I engaged myself into DVD marathons and coffee to dwindle away from my negative thoughts.

Of the films I've seen from my nights of depression, I was tearfully engrossed with Slumdog Millionaire and Changeling. These aren't the usual feel good movies that will make you chuckle and split your sides. But certainly, it has engaged both my fears and compassion that gave me a calming effect thereafter.

Changeling is a tale about one woman's quiet struggle to overcome insurmountable odds. With my favorite actress Angelina Jolie in the lead role directed by the unflappable Clint Eastwood. Every mother who will get to see this movie will be enthused.

Slumdog Millionaire is an underdog fable that is vivid, moving and breathless. It tells of a young man who travels from the slums to the hot seat of the Indian Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. This movie was Directed by Danny Boyle.

With these kind of destressors, I really wouldn't mind being insomniac for few more nights. Movies like this can be a good company in tough times.

My Dad's Bday

Hi Dad!

You were supposed to be 59 today, I could have said you're just 1 year away to becoming a senior citizen. But you never really wanted to get old noh?

Seriously, I missed you today. I missed talking to you. I missed telling you how good a mommy I am to your grandkids.

If only you were here with us....

Happy birthday Dad! Have fun wherever you are now. I hope my whispers do reach your heart.

I love you and I miss you.

Untaming the Tamed

Sometimes I wish to be out of control.

I have been the "good girl" since I was born. To my age now, I still am living a life in control. But how do I break free when it is my own will that I wanted to go against with? Crazy that I couldn't get lose from what I have become.

Mid life crisis, is this it?

I miss my bestfriend, Tequila.

My Uncle is Gone

Tito Dado passed away early Sunday morning. I felt no pain having received the news of his death. But I will surely miss him.

The past few days had me weighing if I should go see him one last time. However, I decided not too. I don't want to see the face of a person so special to me suffering in pain. I wanted to remember him as my cool, cheerful Tito Dado.

Three brothers are now reunited up there. Tito Doming, My Dad and Tito Dado.

Good for them, they now all rest in peace.
