I totally love the movie!♥  Now I want to read the next book China Rich Girlfriend. I am not a bookie.. I'd rather watch than read, but after watching the movie I'm completely drawn into it.  It was a nice story... "Love really conquers all"...  At first I thought it was just a hype and they are just overrating the movie, but when I watched it last night - it was really a great film.  Now I can't wait for the sequel which I read somewhere online that it's on the planning stage. Favorite scene/s: I have a couple of favorite scenes:  Entrance of Princess Intan - Ms. Kris Aquino on the film (which I am really proud of because I am a Pinay).. Mr. Kevin Kwan is right, she's one of the highlights of the movie.  I really waited for it... It was short but with impact to us Filipinos.  I just wish that the Michael Cinco gown was show  Mahjong scene of Rachel and Eleanor - tissue moment My ultimate favorite - I love the wedding scene... Wh...

. Open letter to a friend: Dear friend, Hello!  I know it has been a while since we last talked.  A lot of things have transpired lately and these started to build a thin wall between us. There's no denying: from long conversations, chats - to simple hi and hellos - to nothing.  I cannot say that distance is a hindrance because we also have friends from other parts of the world but communication lines are open.  Well, I guess we have outgrown each other.  Yes, we have different views but this should not hinder if we are truly friends.  But I guess that's life people change... At our age... we are more sensitive now (than when we were younger) but I'd rather not stress myself on anything... I want no dramas anymore.  And I know you feel the same way too.      I may not be a perfect friend.. but who is?  Sorry for not liking and commenting on your social media posts... But for me the true measure friendship i...

I am not a "Dilawan" or "Dutertard", but I always stand on what is right.  I was 11 years old when Senator Benigno Aquino was assassinated in Manila International Airport, naive that time I really don't understand.   Born in 1972, I'm a Martial law baby, so I don't get to experience what really happened during the Marcos' regime.  But my parents and grand parents that time were so afraid that I heard them saying "Magkakagulo na".  They immediately went to the grocery to buy canned foods and other necessities.  I only learned about it when we studied it in school and through the news and documentaries on TV.  I remember when I watched his funeral with thousands of people with yellow ribbons and his casket on top of a 10 wheeler truck with a sea of yellow flowers. That's it!   But I know (that time) his death was an eye-opener to all the Filipinos. That lead to the ouster of Marcos and the birth of democracy, our democracy. ...
