A Moment to Remember

When a memory’s gone, so is the soul…

Su Jin is waiting for her boyfriend to show up at the train station. He stood her up, he was a married man. She’s a forgetful girl. By being forgetful, she met a man that saves her broken heart. Chul Soo, is a carpenter and works for Su Jin’s dad. Of course, they end up together even if her dad dislike Chul Soo because he’s a construction worker. But, Chul Soo became an architect.  They’re so happy before and after getting married. I wish all the married couple nowadays are just like that. But as said in the movie, Life is cruel, you won’t be happy forever. Su Jin suffers an early stage of Alzheimer disease at the age of 27.

I think Su Jin is not yet over her past love, I think. But she’s extremely happy with her husband.

In the movie, I see a different kind of love from the husband. I can’t describe how much Chul Soo loved his wife. It’s different… I’ve seen a lot of husband’s great love to his wife, but this one is so different. I’ve read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks and partially watched the movie. It’s a different kind of dedication. I cried. Hehe. I imagined myself in his shoes; I think I’ll be in tremendous pain.

Christmas Holiday of 2009

Day 24

I woke up at 1pm then got hooked up to Boys over Flower Korea drama. I started to wake up the others because we’ll make a last minute shopping for the holidays (we don’t have any food in the fridge). When we were already at the mall, my sister realized that we haven’t eaten anything; we were so busy watching the novella. I went to church for the Simbang Gabi.

I bought Wild Vines (wine) for the celebration and a bag of Lays. I received Christmas greetings from all of my friends.

Our neighbor surprisingly visited us. He’s a little drunk and sad. He said that our house is now lonely unlike before. And he asked, “Where is your boyfriend?”. And of course, I lied. I don’t want no more questions to be asked if I’ll say the truth.

Again, I’ve spent the day with a marathon of Boys over Flower. Leslie and I went to Trinoma for a stroll. I was hoping that I would be able to find a cheap bag for everyday use. Sadly, for an unknown brand, it costs PHP 500, local branded bags price is almost the same.

Day 26

If you would like to let the day pass by quickly, you must remember two things: 1. Sleep almost half the day. 2 Watch a nice Tv Series. As for me, watching Boys over flowers is the key.

While watching the series, I remembered three years ago I was sad, I bought an ice cream and wrote about the Taiwanese drama/Japanese Manga, Mars. How I like to have someone like Rei and to feel protected like Kira. I wish that I would find someone like Rei. Now, it’s like déjà-vu, dreaming to meet a strong-willed man like Gu Jun Pyo and compassionate, Yoon Ji Hoo. They’re both protective towards the girl they like. Sometimes I would like to disappear in reality and let myself inside the series or a book. It’s a lot friendlier than reality.

The feeling of nothing wore out. I thought I’d be able to stay strong, but I can’t.

Every one of us treasures something or someone. Inevitable as it seems, we just put them in one place when we don’t make use of them. We’ll remember it or them when we needed it. That something or someone is waiting to be used again or remembered. Isn’t sad? What if one day it/they’ll just walk away because they grew tired of us? It’s very lonely waiting for nothing. You feel insignificant and abandoned.

Dec. 27

Then again I woke up late in the afternoon, watched the Boys Over Flowers, this time I finished it. My officemates asked me if I would like to go with them, I declined. My high school friends asked me to watch Avatar (IMAX), then again, I declined. I’m such a house person.

From over the list of movies, I watched, A Moment to Remember, a Korean movie. See my review. http://sheirene.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/a-moment-to-remember/

Forgiving is letting a small space of hatred in our hearts. I remembered Father Edwin’s advice to me. He said, remember the people who hurt you, and every time you’re hurt by the same person, forgive them. Should I start to forgive myself?

Dec. 28

Today was a little different. I thought I won’t be able to stand up because I don’t feel good, but I manage to go to the market. I went alone and I liked it. It’s like shifting your mind focus for a little while before going inside in the battle again.

I spent most of the afternoon on my bed.

My niece and I watched Perfume – The Story of a Murderer, a nice movie. It makes me want to buy a Ralph Lauren or Davidoff’s Coolwater (for Men, my favorite).

Dec. 29 – 2:15 am

Then we watched 2010. Honestly, I would like to cry. It’s very touching.

When I watched, A Moment to Remember alone, I cried but when someone accompanied me in watching 2010 which is a lot more worth crying for, I didn’t. Do you see the difference? I just realize it now. Hahaha.

While watching the movie I remembered, Kai. We both loved watching movies. We ate a lot inside the movie house. Sometimes I think we’re too noisy while watching with the ooohh’s and ahhhh’s when we were amazed or see the twist of the story. Kai always explain things while watching the movie. I think even if we had a movie marathon in our place or his place, it will be fun.

He’s really a good movie companion. I miss my movie buddy.

Dec 29

I woke up early, I haven’t sleep that well. My friends and I went to see a movie, Shake, Rattle and Roll 11.

Today is a sad day for me.

Dec 30.

We went to Grand Central to buy food for tomorrow. Again, I bought wine.

farewell daggie

Today’s post should be “5 minutes to midnight“, reminiscing the event that happened a year ago. Last year, I lost someone I loved; then again I lost again another companion, Dagul, our family dog.

My Dad showed Dagul to me when we are canvassing leather seat covers for our car. He’s a big dog, 10 months old. The only trick that he knows was to shake hands.

Dagul has the cutest face from any Rottweiler that I’ve seen. He’s worth 10K. When Mar got back from the states, she bought it for Papa. I can still remember how Papa carried Dagul or Daggie on his lap while in the car.

Daggie loves spaghetti, actually he loves to eat a lot. Nang asa Jolibee pa ako, pupunta lang si Papa sa store para bumili ng spaghetti at uubusin na nya un. Alala ko pa ng birthday ni Daggie, pinagluto siya ng spaghetti at meron siyang SpongeBob na party hat.

He likes to play. Minsan sa sobrang tuwa nya sa iyo, dadambahin ka na lang niya. Malas mo pag umastang mang-rereyp pa siya. Every morning nag-eexercise sila ni Papa at araw-araw kumakain ng Buy 1, Take 1 na burger. Dati pag sinabi ko ky Daggie, andyan na si Papa! Andyan na si Papa ! pupunta agad siya sa may pinto at tatahol na ng tatahol at hindi mapakali, dahil alam nya, ilalabas na siya ni Papa.

Nang namatay na si Papa, umakyat me at umiiyak, sinabi ko na wala na si Papa. Mula noon, wala ng naglabas ky Daggie. Huling kita ko ky Dagul ng September 26 pa, at ng nakita kong binaba siya ng naka-sako, umiiyak ako sa telepono. Hindi ko alam pero ang bigat bigat ng loob ko, kasi sya favorite ng Papa at favorite ko din sya.

Wala na ung malaking baboy na sasalubong sa iyo pag pumunta ka ng rooftop, ung aamuy-amuyin ka sa mga singit-singit. Umiiyak ako si naawa ako.Na baka ng mga huling sandali nya,nahihirapan na pala siya, at kaya lumalapit siya kahapon kasi humihingi siya ng tulong. Marami na ring dumaan na aso sa pamilya naming pero si Daggie lang ang napamahal sa akin. Kahit na bumili pa ako ng 10 rottweiler, i can still see the difference.

Ako’y may alaga
Asong napakataba
Dila niya’y pagkahaba haba
Ang cute cute talaga

 
Mukha man siyang baboy
Mahal ko pa rin siya
Kahit minsan mukha siyang tanga
Matutuwa ka pa rin sa kanya

 

Wala siyang buntot
At mukha mabantot

I wasn’t able to finished this poem.This is my first attempt to make a tagalog poem.

Project Managers na makulet

Wala bang ibang alam ang mga Project Manager kung di mangulet?
Alam ko kung ano ang trabaho ko, wag mo akong kulitin, lalung lalo ka na.
Hindi ko pinababayaan ang trabaho ko,aiwan ko lang sa iyo.

Kung magtatanong ka lang sa akin sa umaga, pwede ba? wag ka nang mangamusta? Nasisira lang ang araw ko eh. Dahil kaya mo ako kinakamusta para lang sa Malabon. Kung naipasa ko na ba, e tinatamad ako gawin eh.Wala akong gana. Buti na lang at pinilit kong gawin kahapon aun, tapos na. Isampal ko kaya sa mukha mo anoh?

Isumbong ninyo ako,wala akong pakialam, lalu na sa mga makakabasa neto. Magandang alam nyo rin. Kakabwiset!

You did it again. Not saying a word to me at all, or leaving a message. What an effort. Thank You
