adele wants you to smile

spent the day with the craziest person alive to celebrate my birthday.. again!

oh yes, it's Hannah i'm talking about. hahaha! THANK YOU: for that day, for all the things you've taught me (trust me, there's a looooot!), for the birthday post you made for me, for always being there for me, for being a crazy friend who makes me crazy and sane at the same time.. for everything! hugsssss! :)

A best friend... Okay, this one is so important. Choose wisely, okay? I got really lucky with mine. My best friend is funny, intelligent, creative, beautiful and successful and very kind. And she's also impulsive, frustrating, complicated, childish. But I would not have her any other way. And the best part about Brooke Davis is that she always puts friends first. So, if you are ever in any kind of trouble, now you know who to call. I can't think of anyone I would rather have watching over you.

how i spent my birthday.

paid my mom's health insurance. went to Carbon to buy fruits and other stuff. waited for my sister at SM. dinner at Family Choice, Gorordo. waited for my sister's boyf. dropped them off at SM because they want to watch What's Your Number. went straight home.

about the last photo: front view of the bag i got for my cam a.k.a. wanderlust (i was inspired by Lea to name my cam + the name was inspired from tumblr. HA!) its not really a camera bag, but wanderlust fits perfectly in it. i'll show you the bag and how i got it.. sooooon! btw, thanks to my dad! :D

P.S. the brother wasn't able to celebrate with us because he went to Bacolod for a mini break/vacay, but he didn't forget to leave me a present. hahaha. thanks, brother! :)

P.P.S. this post just reminded me that i have to update my profile info! awwwe.

my gifts were wrapped in PJs

today's my birthday!

my friends surprised me an hour before my birthday! they sang How To Love outside my room with a candle-lit ube cake. i didn't hear them because i was using my earphones while listening to some music. my mom had to use a key to open the door so that they can reveal themselves to the oblivious me. (i'm so sorry about that friendsss. hahahaha!) i was really surprised and touched because i didn't expect them to come and surprise me due to the heavy rain + lightning! plus plus, the cutest part about them: they were all wearing sleepwear/pyjamas! :)

the 'rents decided that we'll eat at MB's Tavern. we stayed for only an hour because the store actually closes at 12 midnight (they had to extend 30 minutes more so that we can finish our food. thank you to that patient waitress!) we then went back home + the friends slept over.

THANK YOU 'RENTS and FRIENDS!!

Coldplay - Fix You

*the song has nothing to do with my feelings while making this post.. it was the song that was currently playing while they were singing outside my room. :D

flipped

(some screenshots from the movie.)

last night i watched flipped. i read the book a few months ago. actually, i only read 2/3 of the book because: i suddenly wanted another kind of book to read, i became busy until i forgot to finish it and i didn't really like the ebook i downloaded. but as what i've read so far, the book's good but the movie's better. i may be biased to say that thinking i haven't finished the book yet, but i just can't help but love the characters and the setting of the movie. it was far from what i've imagined while i was reading the book.. it was old and countryside-ish. they also did a great job sticking close to the book. plus, both Madeline Carroll and Callan McAuliffe were perfect to play the roles of Juli Baker and Bryce Loski, repectively.

some quotes from the movie and from the book by Wendelin Van Draanen:

''A painting is more that the sum of the parts,'' he would tell me, and then go on to explain how the cow itself is just a cow, and the meadow by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you've got magic.''

''To be held above the earth and be brushed by the wind,'' she said, ''it's like your heart has been kissed by beauty.''

''The room fell quiet. And as i read down the list of over one hundred and fifty-grade boys, I realized that to me, there had only been one boy.''

''Next time you're faced with a choice, do the right thing. It hurts everyone less in the long run.''

''One's character is set at an early age, son. The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life. I hate to see you swim out so far you can't swim back.'' -Chet Duncan

''I'd never been embarrassed by where we lived before. I also never really thought about money. I knew we weren't rich, but I didn't feel like we were missing anything. That is, until Bryce Loski called our home a complete mess.'' -Juli Baker

''The way she ignore me was a constant reminder that I've been a jerk.'' -Bryce Loski

''I had flipped. Completely.'' -Bryce Loski
