Movie.Man of Steel. Costly.

Lately we've been working hard and we always come home late na and I know we somehow deserve a li'l break. So when my husband said "let's go watch Man of Steel in the big screen" I quickly said yes, even if I am not a fan of Superman movies and even if it is not included in our budget.

So off we went last Friday and to my relief I wasn't disappointed. In fact I enjoyed it...but I still think the movie tickets are overly priced :(  I'm thinking of the many small things I could have bought with that cost eh...hehe!! I could have even bought hubby this new the pick of destiny at guitar center or some more ceramics conatainers I want :)

But anyways, at least we had some time out, that's what matters most, though I don't think we will be doing this again for the succeeding months. it's expensive eh.

Did you or do you have any plans of seeing this movie? Did you like it?

Anybody wants to join in writing and completing a story? It’s fun! Visit bunso’s site and it’s there. I am actually entertained reading those few sentences added by the readers. It’s like he started a story and then asked fellow bloggers to write on..it’s far from having it’s the end so you might want to go and add your few words.

We participated in the EARTH HOUR last Saturday night, it’s sad though because when we looked around in our neighborhood, seems it’s only us who participated. Sigh. And I sigh more when I think that not my entire church mate is into the idea of helping our mother earth. I got a chance of promoting it to our Friday meeting and some nodded their head and some I guess are just like “and so what? It’s bound to happen anyway”..

Last Sunday afternoon, we went to Binan, Laguna and attended a child dedication, hubby was chosen as Ninong (Godfather) and though it’s a bit far we obliged ourselves to go. It’s sad though because the parents of the child separated few months after the youngest was born, all 4 kids are in the care of the mom. The father left them for another girl daw. So it moved us to tears yesterday when she went into front to dedicate her only girl and her youngest to God. May the good Lord bless them and provide for them. And I pray for her to be strong and to hold on.

Friday and Saturday night- I watch ROME (series) and the Love comes softly (movie series) again, only this time am with our good friend Grace ..and you bet, I cried again. haha! We haven't finish it yet and we plan to continue it tonight. We were all exhausted last night so we skipped it.

Movie Marathon

Do you know what me and hubby did last week?

Of course, there was a four day vacation because of the Holy Week, where everyone seems to be outside Metro Manila, including me..although I did not have a grand beach vacation I enjoyed my rest days watching these;

Love comes softly

Loves enduring promise and
Loves long journey

Promise!!These movies will surely make you cry, no harsh words, very uplifting, encouraging..I can watch it over and over again.

gangster..remembering my students

Last Sunday night, saw the movie "Gridiron gang" in HBO, it was a 2006 movie that stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson". I was not really interested but eventually got hooked..and at the end of the movie I found my self remembering a class I thaught when I was still in Cabanatuan City.

This was a group of young men ( I don't even remember thier names now) but sure I can still see thier faces in my mind. In thier last semester, I was assigned as thier class adviser. Actually, I chose them too. Nobody wants them dahil irregular class and they are known to be stubborn and pasaway but I picked them. (paging BSMT October 2000 graduates of Midway Maritime Foundation.)

Oh yes, they are pasaway and I had tons of headaches but the experience of handling them was worth it. I remember thier parents talking to me about thier son, thier Social Science teacher telling me that one is already one week absent and many more behavioural problems..meron pa nga one time, we were having class, bigla na lang may sumugod na one student in our room at pinagsasapak ang isa sa kanila..But still, I don't regret being thier last Class Adviser.

I can very well relate sa "mustangs' kasi nga these students are well known to be matitigas ang ulo so no teacher that time wants them. Pero naman I was very proud of them, during our Shool Foundation day, we formed a basketball team, first time nila sumali sa mga activities ng school, at kahit hindi kami nag champion,I was still so proud kasi I know they exerted efforts. they played fairly naman at wala naman silang naka away.

At our most memorable, we entered a"float" sa float parade and we won frist price..so you can imagine how happy they were during that time, at talagang maiiyak ka sa mga comments nila..One said "Ma'am,thank you kasi kayo ang naging adviser namin,ngayon lang namin ito naranasan sa buong buhay namin dito sa school". I know deep in my heart, I have imparted to them a life lesson they will always remember.

And months after thier graduation, one mother came to me and gave me pastries..she said pinapabigay ng anak nya, one of my students before nga. I can never be happy. I wish I could post some of our pictures here kaya lang nasa province lahat ng old photo albums ko.

Right now, I am thinking If I can do it again..but of course it's not gonna be in school na. I'm thinking of a youth ministry in the church..madaming gangster sa mga urban poor areas dito sa Metro Manila, I know it's hard and easier said than done..but seeing someone's life has changed...It's all worth it.

movie date-I AM LEGEND

Yesterday..all of us girls from the center had the chance of going out on a movie date, well hubby tagged along..so he’s the only guy there..It was actually Irene who asked me last Monday-she actually made parinig that she wants to watch “Desperadas” so I said..sige sa Wednesday after office hour..

Come Wednesday afternoon, she called up and said “Ate Carmel wants to come to” and so I said sige if kaya na nya..remember Carmel has recently underwent a major operation..and then when at 7pm they texted me na and boy I was surprised to see Lerma and Dayday (Carmel’s sister) there too..and last, Grace texted me to wait for her coz she’d like to go din…ang saya!

We bought nalang food from Jollibee and ate na alng inside the movie house..and guess what? Irene got desperate..kasi walng Desperadas..hehe!
And to her dismay all of the movies being shown are English..and there being no more time to go to another moviehouse,we settled for I AM LEGEND by Will Smith..kaya nga napasama na talaga si hubby..he was supposed to wait for me lang but when he learned na yun ang papanoorin namin..he excitedly joined us na.

The movie was good..I enjoyed it,hubby liked it and I guess Carmel and grace enjoyed it too..ewan ko lang kay Irene,Lerma and Dayday…

And it has some good lesons..like believing that inspite of a major disaster or problem..God still loves us and that He cares..land If we only listen..God has good plans..

It’s very seldom that I do watch movies on the big screen since I got married..I’ve been accustomed to watching movies in DVD and cable..dahil sa katipiran..hehe!

And it’s very rare that all of us girls in the Center go out on a date like that..:) so it’s one fine evening for all of us.
