On Kapamily Overload

Monday was for Wowowee with my brothers. I skipped work for a night club in the heat of the afternoon. Despite being such a guy show, it was interesting to watch all the works live... how efficient the people during commercial breaks, how the ASF dancers able to move and groove in their skimpy attires and thin shoes, the set, the "liveliness"... everything. It was such a rush.

Sunday was for ASAP. Timing, it was Piolo's birthday = nice numbers. As if ASAP was not enough, we just ate a quick "lunch" and ran to THE BUZZ.

Starstuck much?

2009: Movie 1: Baler

In 1898, a band of Spanish soldiers heroically defended Baler in Quezon province against Filipino forces for 337 long and grueling days. The battle, now referred to as the Siege of Baler, is the setting of a forbidden love between an Indio soldier and a Filipina lass who lived at the end of the 19th century

The movie was okay considering the fact that I had no idea what it was all about. It was an epic drama that gave a sort of sneak peak of Philippine history. It also caught my attention cause there were conversations in Spanish. Despite the not so good editing and whatever you may call that (reading a letter with the light/lamp below) the performances of the actors and actresses involved were exceptional. Even if "Filipina" daw si Anne Curtis with all her mestiza looks, she portrayed her role very well. Sexy ni Fafa Jericho. Poor Bravo = Puppy. :( All in all, I guess it was a good movie since my aunt did not fall asleep and her husband was able to under the film thanks to the subtitles.

On Family Time

Family is time is taking time out from one’s busy schedule. It is setting aside a moment with one’s family. It is putting one’s family first over a night out with friends, work or any other commitment.

I am a family first type of person. As much as possible, I make myself available for a movie, for meal, for a stroll in the mall and such. There are occasions when I am the one who initiates quality time with family. There are instances wherein I decline invites from my various friends because there is a “family” thing.

Am I so family centered that I miss out opportunities of meeting new people? Should I plan better to avoid overlapping events? Should I at times put my family second when the “others” is more appealing?

Ayudame!

Timely Horoscope

My horoscope in Friendster:



It was very timely. My co-worker invited me to join them to Bangkok this March. I know if I really wanted to go I will find a way. It will be tough but I bet I can come up with an excuse to skip work. I definitely have the budget for the trip, but on the other hand, I will need to work double time to reach my financial goal. My parents may not agree, but I know in the end they will allow me.It was so tempting. Zero fare. Good company. Travel. But after considering many factors, I decided to decline.

Did I make the right decision?
