I heart MANILA

 
Everyday when I go out for a drive, to gym, to anyplaces or wherever I realize Manila is my home. Seen places but nothing compares anything close to Manila.

You got the best of everything...

Once I was in Shanghai and told many beautiful stories about Philippines to a dear friend I came close and she contradicts the beauty I see and grown in Manila. Despite of the ugliness of it; I hope people do see the beauty of this City & country has to offer...

You turn around you see a vendor selling corn in on sidewalks... You go to Quaipo see the faithhealers; the pop culture in us....

The smiles, the music, the beach, the palm tress along Manila Bay, The Locals, the lifestyle... the tragedy, the politics, the chaos, the people... The faces we came across along the way.

I HEART MY MANILA and will always be my home.

I LOVE MANILA

I miss my BLOG!!!

 


I hadn't had time to blog, since I got back from china last year; been travelling constantly and so many places I've seen. Since Blogspot didn't made hello accesible the more I got lazy blogging. But don't worry Honey Momma is here to take care of you. xoxo

PS: that was one of my recent shot; nothing fancy I thought I'd share.

Realization I was chatting with my old college friend na guy. I realize how things have change and so did I. There are good and bad changes, but i'm still stuck. I didn't regret my decisions or else I wouldnt have realize how special or blessed I was then and now. But there is one person I miss the most... My EX. How the things were, his taste... how he was. Im happy that he is happy. I needed all this time to know what I wanted in Life. Crazy huh... no regrets. It only makes us a better person. I just hope it was the right time... but it wasnt. I've grown up a bit but still in my childish state and still enjoying the things in life. I guess I had to much. I need to deal with my reality now.. before its too late.

This fucking movie rocks... I tell you Martin Scorsese is a classic!!! just when I felt that this years film was full of crap "The Departed" will surely blow your brains out. Rarely, you can see the old school effects like Martin Scorsese does and Tim Burton's. From the film Taxi Driver to The Departed... man you'd be able to see some similarities being caught up, paranoid, dark, disturbing characters he creates.
Well, I hope you do enjoy this film... some like it some didn't. Tarantino isn't even close with this one... sorry I also enjoy Quentin Tarantino but could I just say this one really did the job for me. The characters are consistent and well developed. -- its a classic.
We'll just have to wait what Sophia Cappola has in it for us in "Marie Antoinette" in her modern twist with lovely Kirstenm, that should be interesting and Zhang Ziyi's "The Banquet" exciting year ender line ups! Hurrah booyah...

On Art film: �The Lost City

My two cents�

I seldom write film critique these days if it really didn�t struck me emotionally rather than technical aspects of the film. Set against the backdrop of late '50s/early '60s Havana, Cuba, a nightclub owner (Garcia) is caught having an affair with the wife of his younger brother creating turmoil in their family at a time when Cuba is about to come under the Marxist government of Fidel Castro. I was blown by Andy Garcia�s and Bill Murray�s performance; Bill Murray�s character was particularly intriguing.

Havana in 1958 is a place of pleasure for many, but others are not happy under the rule of Dictator Fulgencio Batista. As the revolutionary forces of Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara prepare to move on the city.

I wouldn�t normally quote lines from a film either as I�m poor with my own memory� but the dialogues, the visuals, the music are so powerful and tastefully treated. I�m surprised that it was Andy Garcia�s directorial debut. Powerful role he played. I favored all choice of the casting as it was perfectly tied with the role played. Actually for an hour watching Andy Garcia I felt his manly presence and had a crush on him while watching the film.

A good film always must be able to deliver a sense of time, culture and emotions it brings to the audience. I felt the revolution, the intensity of chaos in family & love affair, Fellove�s Ideals, expressing being an artist in his own way and dream. On technical aspect: Making it old school� using 35mm, the costume, the music� Cuban and native African touch as an instrument to the climaxing parts of the Family turmoil, patriotism, passion, freedom to express and love affair�

A two thumbs up for a directorial debut of Andy Garcia� very tasteful screenplay and film treatment.
What made my night (the lines)�

�She�s a heartbreaker�? Havana a lost city.�
Andy Garcia starring intensely

�I want to die in a stateless state with no masters�
- In Spanish while Cuban music in the background and saxophone.

3:15 Im on stilnox and still having a some sort of cross over slow mo heat u\I don't know wheather it's euphric. it's crazy for cryin out loud what is this? IJUST WANT TO SLEEP
Photo's by: me

I hated the fact that I wasn�t able to go to vee�s birthday party as I was really been taking care of my health and feeling like a mental patient that I had to take my medication on certain time just to function normal again it�s not really like I�m abnormal but it�s already starting to cost my daily routine so now I�m taking charge and putting my foot down when it calls for simple decision making it conflicts but health comes first.

I saw Drip yesterday for a year I had been gone it felt like now palang ako nagsesettle in Manila. I hated being here last March- May. Vic guys messed up me bad I guess now I�m ok. China has been real experience kick my habits of being 24/4 glued in the PC, DVD, detachments from people and emotional drama of friends. Brian helped me in a way to see things diff, I�m glad I went to Xinjiang with him even my system was fuck by valiums so I�d be able to do my trips normal sleep at 1am and wakes up at 7am and bam 9am we�re out of our hotels and start the lonely planet way of traveling. It was an unforgettable experience.

Photo's by: me

On Health: Been in Manila for maybe a month now and I�ve been under a lot of adjustments emotionally and physically. Emotional part was a transition part� less drama as I call it and less complexities.

Physical: Had to see an OB-Gyne for my abnormal cycle coz since I�ve been back and forth of Manila and China since last August I guess I had 3 cycles only in a year imagine that�.

I love my OB-Gyne and I love The New Medical City in Ortigas so neat & convenient only I find it pricey and the elevator system kinda not efficient so far so good as a walk in patient :P

Then my OB had me recommended with an Endocrinologist for my thyroid monitory since I had a thyroidectomy (Thyroid surgery) I love my Endo too she took cared and really explained my case, very patient after learning my history she now recommended a Psychiatrist for my sleeping problem.

OK before the word pops �psychiatrist� loosely I have been having a prob on this phlegm stock in between my nasal and throat w/ no cough or flu it�s been passive but really annoying coz im starting to have this mannerism like a local Chinese that would spit or trying to relieve myself of the phlegm which was irritating and of course gross. So I consulted and ask my OB to recommend me a Pedia for my case she sent me to an ENT Doctor which is so great too�

ENT: I have the post nasal dripping called allergic rhinitis so I had to be in CLARICOT (Betamethasone-Loratadine), Nafarin- A and Flixotide nasal spray for 10days.

ENDO: Monitor but currently my TSH level is high so I�m Hypothyroid meaning I had to be in hormone replacement medication should it worsen but my reflects and blood test are fine.

OB: Gave me progesterone pill to make me bleed muna. 10 pills then after the 5th day of taking the progesterone pill walahhhhh I got my menstruation. Then have this TVS (Trans vagina scan ultrasound) sound weird and painful huh? So, right now my OB still monitoring my cycle depends on my TVS which I will have on tue�s to see if I have a polyp cystic ovary, but blood test are fine she had me tested for 75ogtt that was a tiring process of blood test 4 times in a day of getting my blood. Fasting of 10hours, first blood was fasting. 2nd blood with glucose intake of 1 is to 2 parts of water that�s friggin sweet water imagine how sweet and had to bee every time they get my blood for every hour, so 3 hours of excruciating waiting for the next hour.

(It�s gross what I�m sharing but I�d like to keep an account of what I did)

Psychia: now this is ludacris� I�ve f*ck up my system by drug abuse of benzodiazepam so now I�m on withdrawals of insomia. So she put me in Remeron (Mitrazepam) and Stilnox on standby. I was skeptic of going to a Psychia honestly makes me feel im mentally ill which in my case I�m not but the diazepam kinda fuck my chemical balance that goes into my brain that produces serotonin to make me sleep� I�m sorry about the words It�s just I do a lot of research when I take my medication and drug that was given to ensure I wouldn�t be blind sighted but guess what I missed a crucial part in benzodiazepam� thanks to Brian he knew a lot about this so at least I�m not in the dark with this sh*t of mine.

But, I�m not too keen on mitrazepam coz I sleep 16hrs 1st intake, still trying to control the effect and side effects thou bec. It�s an anti depressant� which seriously im kinda skeptic. Because come on an anti depressant suppresses something shouldn�t it? So I didn�t like taking it but to its effects it produces a lot of serotonin and I�m more clumsy and less alert might alternate it with Stilnox thou, I don�t know I�m very cautions of what I take now since I self inflict this to my body. So there�s my story.

SO BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE TAKING A BLUE PILL BE CAREFUL� I�m the type who�s very careful and still didn�t avoid this scenario I went cold turkey on valiums coz I�ve done it before causes depression but insomia w/o emotional attachments can be a bitch imagine if your emotionally attach and stressed?

Be aware and knowledgeable and make kappa of you intake. Ciao hope this helps.

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.

better.

Don't stagnate!

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for
some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong
reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what
you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits,
and
dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your
family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of
you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of
your life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give
to
someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love
is
T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or
provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves*

God is good all the time!

On DVD: �The World of Suzie Wong 1960�
It has been a while I would say honestly that I�ve seen a good film these days. Nothing appealed to me for a while not even what is now on theaters I find most of the plots rather no brainer.

I accidentally stumbled �The World of Suzie Wong� at Cinemax. It was a highly romanticize story of a Wanchai prostitute meet a midlife crisis burn out westerner who�d flown to Hong Kong to find himself and pursue his dream of being a painter. The plot is very usual I would say in this present time, but highly original during the 60�s� two thumbs up!

At first we are presented in `Suzie Wong' a stereotypical view of happy little hookers in the Wanchai district of Hong Kong. But as the story unfolds the veneer of this portrait cracks open to reveal through Suzie just how desperate the lives of these women are. In a city of over three million crammed onto the island city it is a case of do what you must to survive. In Suzie's case she must compartmentalize her feeling into body, love, and soul and thus protect herself by pretending that she is the daughter of a rich merchant rather than a Wanchai bargirl. Though her relationship with Robert they both learn the meaning and cost of love in a world of narrow view and prejudice.

The film is very adult and honest in dealing with the subject of the flesh trade and racism in 1960 must have been a bit shocking on several levels. This film must be credited with opening the door to telling more honest stories of Asian's with Asian actors in the major roles.

I would say it gave a glimpse of how Hong Kong was during the 60�s.Socio- cultural standard, moral issues of the east and west... I would also add that the plot itself is very common but I give a standing ovation on the treatment of the story telling and marvelous visual.

'The World of Suzie Wong' is a film that holds both an important place in film history and the hearts film buffs and romantics around the globe.

My current state is transition�
Changes are part of our everyday reality.
I finally accepted my realities and let go all the complexities in my life.
I now became detached to all the things that made my life complex;
Bad habits, stubbornness, attachments and desires.

For a while I have been dwelling on my past.
To find my answers are all about attachments in life.
You just have to balance which ones you have to let go.
Detachments what does it really mean?

Family, friends and possibly lovers�
Change� you just have to go with the flow;
Let go of unpractical ideals,
Let go of the teenage angst.

Family is home
Friends are sanctuary�
Lovers will come and go.
Some will stay; it�s a cycle.

Desires?
Will never lead your to contentment,
But instead it�ll lead you to your demise.
Human nature is a vicious cycle.

Don�t hold on your past too close;
Cherish the memories�
Look forward
Focus on new possibilities.

Change is constant.
