hooked

More on Encantadia and a new reason for me to be hooked on primetime television.

I am so excited on the coming episodes of Encantadia. At last they have found poor Alena. I loved that scene when she was saved. Diana Zubiri has really got me wanting for more. And of course, Amihan(Izza Calzado) is so pretty that you would enjoy seeing her in every scene. Encantadia has definitely changed my weekdays. I always look forward to going home in the evenings. Thumbs up to GMA 7(sorry Mischa).

I was able to watch the pilot episode of Desperate Housewives on Studio 23 tonight. I was truly entertained. I know that we are very late and Studio 23 shows a GP version of the show but I enjoyed it nonetheless and will continue to watch it everytime I can.

Almond enjoys watching Encantadia but I had to send him to the room when I watched Desperate Housewives because he is too young for that. I promise to post Almond's picture in the future.

birth

This is probably one of the hardest stories for me to tell. Why? I think it is because of the circumstances surrounding it and the sensitivity of the issues within it.

It started out last Saturday night when I was asleep. As some of you know, I was out of Manila for the weekend. I had a very lucid dream. I dreamt that I was in a forest surrounded by the most beautiful trees and wild flowers. It was totally grool feeling the cool and truly fresh air.

As I was walking through the forest, I met someone who accompanied me and showed me around the forest. I was shown how beautiful this place was. I think I have been there so many times and yet I never saw it through someone who really lived in it.

While I was enjoying the tour around the forest, I was introduced to the others who lived there. They were so nice. I loved the food that they served there. I ate so much and yet it didn’t make my stomach ache. It was so hard for me to think that I was going to leave this place soon because this was not my real world, at least not yet. I somehow felt that I truly belong in this place but it was not the right time to live with them yet.

In such a short time I made new friends and they all have become a part of me. Everything that had life surrounding me was telling me in one way or another that I should stay in this beautiful place.

In the middle of all of this, I felt that the coolness of the temperature was slowly changing and turning into an unpleasant and stabbing heat. I knew that I was supposed to leave soon. After this, I had to maximize the time I had left. I wanted to try bathing in the waterfalls that I saw when I was walking around the forest. So, that is what I did.

As I was swimming around, I felt someone was watching me from behind a tree. As I looked, I saw that it was the first person I had met when I got in the forest. Wearing an unexplainably and loving smile, I asked for this person to join me. Every minute was magical; the forest was humming what was like a hymn that everything was falling into place and that something majestic is supposed to happen. We kissed and held each other close, it was a silent goodbye for the both of us but somehow we knew that we would see each other again.

I closed my eyes as we held hands.

As I opened my eyes, I was alone or at least I thought I was. It seemed that there was no one else around me and I was no longer in the magnificent forest. I was back where I was hours ago… I was home.

I wanted to cry but I knew I shouldn’t because even if I wasn’t there anymore, I knew that they would always be in my heart forever.

As I continue to lie down on the bed, I heard a voice. It was still dark in the bedroom, I couldn’t see so well so I had to stand up and turn the light on. To my surprise, there he was not far from me, a baby. He was smiling at me and wanted me to carry him. I carried him and was so curious where he came from.

I was surprised when he called me "father". He was speaking through my mind because I never saw his lips move. He said that he was my child and was conceived when I was bathing in the waterfalls when I held hands with the one from the forest. He continued by telling me that the forest was magical and only true love could conceive or bear fruit. I couldn’t deny that I was in love, with the forest, the creatures, and the people I had met. I guess the baby was the reminder of all that. He said that I should never be worried for all will be put in its’ rightful place in the future.

I only had one question left in my mind, what should I name my baby who was going to play an important role in my life now. As I was thinking of a name, my baby said that he already had a name which was already assigned by the elders of the forest. So I asked him what his name was.

He said, “My name is Almond Lai Tsi”.

addicted

I have a confession to make. I am officially addicted to a local Fantasy Series(Fantaserye).

I love watching Encantadia and it's not because I was able to mingle with the stars but it is because I like their storyline and the simple twists and turns.

Their costumes are also nice and the special effects are quite good too. Now, my VCR has another purpose than just recording ATBG episodes. Now, I can record the episodes that I will be missing.

On a separate note, I am getting bored with watching "Darna". I find some of the characters very lame. I wish they would kill the "Wendell" something character. He's such a snoozeball. Of course, this is just my point of view. Darna might have a better storyline in the future.

I loved Friday's episode. Here is one line that got stuck in my mind:

"Kailan man ay hindi ka magiging reyna ng Encantadia!" by Casiopea.

Hehe. Cindy Corletto looks cute as an enchanted character but one of my favorite characters is the one played by Diana Zubiri.

I hope that GMA keeps it up for I am already addicted to this show. ;-)

heat

It's official! The heat and humidity is back after the rain that I thought was going to make me feel better.

Brrrrrr..... not!

rain

It's now 8:21pm and I am still at the office.

I have been wishing for rain for the past few days, and now, it looks like it's starting to rain. I remember telling the cab driver a few hours ago that the weather is nice but it wouldn't hurt for it to rain in the evenings so that we can all sleep better.

I am not a big fan of rain but durnig times like this, it is the one thing that everybody wishes for. Just a little rain to cool down our hot and humid nights. I'm going home in a while and I couldn't be happier.

All of it is because... it rained.

Cady

There was this girl named Cady. I watched her so many times and I have come to a point of recognizing some similarities in our traits. I have learned so much from this young girl. There were instances more than a week ago wherein I almost lost my cool but managed to remember that Cady would have realized that it was not the right thing to do at that moment. I know that you reading this would be lost, so I'll give a few examples.

While I was waiting in line at the standby counter of the airport, a young man tried to break in so he could go ahead. I looked at him and immediately saw that he was a huge fashion victim. He was wearing a brown leather vest over his shirt which was somewhat summer themed. What made it worse was that he was wearing rubber shoes that really didn't match any of the things he wore. I am not quite sure but he looked odd with what he was wearing. Anyways, I started to make fun of him in my mind but quickly realized that making fun of this young man wouldn't stop him from getting ahead of me. I remembered Cady during this instance and had a change in my course of action and instead politely told him that there was a so-called system and continued by telling him that there are a lot of people waiting ahead of him. It apparently worked and he followed the system brought up by the airport.

I am also trying something new that I learned from Cady. I am trying not to talk behind other people's back. I haven't perfected it yet but I am getting there.

It is in these instances that I thank Cady for coming into my life. Thank you Cady! You are so fetch! Keep it grool! :-)
