What book/essay/mag article/ short story/poem that changed your life or how you view the world? explain why?

There's nothing I can think of a movie or a short story that changed my life or how I view the world. So I start thinking of my all-time favorite movies and why I like them. After some few minutes of recalling of my all-time favorite movies, there’s one movie that first came to my mind. Pearl Harbor 2001 directed by Michael Bay. I really like that movie; it’s one of the best movies I watched. It’s a heart melting story that almost made me cry.


“There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.”
- Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle


I really like this quotation by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle. A heart of a volunteer is full of desire and willingness to help. There’s nothing that can outdo those kinds of hearts. Those are what soldiers need to have when going to war, the desire to win, willingness to die for their country and eagerness to beat their opponents. If these are acquired by your brave men, victory is just waiting for you in the other side of the road.



“Not anxious to die sir, just anxious to matter.”

-Rafe (Ben Afleck)

This is what Rafe answered when he was asked if he is afraid to die. At first, I really don’t fully identify what it means. But thanks to Daphne, I now understand what the quotation means. And the meaning really touched my heart. The quotation means, Rafe is not afraid to die, he don’t even give a damn if he will die in this war. He is even willing to die. To live a meaningful life is what really counts for him. In Tagalong “Wala siyang pakielam kung mamatay man sya, hindi siya takot mamatay. Ang gusto lang niya ay nagkaroon ng kabuluhan ang buhay niya”. And for me, that’s what really matters. To live a meaningful life even death is waiting for you at the end. I really admired the braveness and courage of Rafe, his love for his country, desire to living a life where everyone will remember you and returning for those he had left behind, these are the few reasons why he keeps on eluding death.

The movie Pearl Harbor changed some of my views to the world. Life is a precious gift God has given us. But some of us, including me were afraid to die, afraid to risk my own life for someone else. But when I watched this movie, especially the scene where Rafe answered “Not anxious to die sir, just anxious to matter.” I suddenly realized why live a life full of doubts and fears when you can live a meaningful life where you will be always hark back to. Fear of death is just a hindrance to live a significant life, worth of reminiscing. I hope after you read this, It’ll impinge on all of you the importance of living a life free of regrets, fears and uncertainties. LIVE YOUR LIFE YOs THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO BE.

If I were a famous personality I will be..

If I were a famous personality I will be Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBouf) of the Transformers. Why? Coz simply he got everything I want! He got a very hot, headturning, fantasy of all guys in the planet girlfriend(Megan Fox). He got a Customized Chevrolet Camaro that can transform itself to a robot which turned to be his guardian. With the Autobots as his buddies, who can harm him? In short, what can he ask for more? He is simply a lucky guy destined to have bigger responsibilities in the fate of mankind.


Too much responsibilities are hard to handle. Sometimes, your life is at stake. The Decepticons, especially Megatron are always there to make life miserable for Sam. They will not stop until they got their revenge. There are things I hate about Sam, he is kinda "torpe". He can't make his own moves. Thanks to Bumblebee, he creates ways and opportunities that will lead to Shia and Megan falling in love with each other. Maybe if Bumblebee didn't take part, Megan Fox will never knew Sam Witwicky does exist. The Things I like about Sam is, he had a good heart, that made him comrades of the Autobots. He is also brave and courageous sometimes. His personality attracts Megan Fox that, made her fall in love with Sam.

I want to be like Sam Witwicky, I like to save the world, my friends, my family, and all my loved ones in my one little way.

What's up with me right now?


Playing basketball, Poker, computer games, watching television, movies, boys over flowers, surfing through Facebook, sleeping and eating are just some of what I used to do during the whole summer vacation. But right now, since the classes had started, I can't do those things anymore. Right now I'm more focused on studying my lessons and finishing some homework that are given to us. Last summer vacation I'm used to relax and just enjoy my life, but right now I can't do that anymore. I must study more so I can survive the courses I have this semester. Leisure time is over, Bters is back at business.

Right now, we are all obliged to post some blogs for our Philippine Literature class. It's kinda awkward because blogging is only for girls, so it doesn't suits me. But I find it really interesting, because you can express and show to everyone what you really feel.

I kinda miss my blockmates, specially our group study at Pacific. If we're kinda depressed or sad, we'll just go to Tapsi, a very relaxing place. The ambiance in Tapsi is really great, it can makes you skip classes and relaxed. I also grieve for sizzling sisig of Almers, especially BF's sisig! :)) I hope I wont experience flood anymore in UST! damnit! UST's secret river! I also miss JP "the richman"'s jokes. His jokes is so funny that you dont want to hear it anymore! especcially his calculus joke! It's a pain in the a** mehn! LMAO sorry about that!


There's nothing new for me right now, nothing changed. And I dont have anything to said na. I kinda cut it out right now, and I hope you'll also gonna read my next blogs! ayt? Take care peeps and GODSPEED :)
