Gone Girl

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Photo from the web
It took me a week to finish Gone Girl. I intended to finish it little by little because a part of me doesn't want it to end. I've seen the movie several times before and I got curious about its printed version. I know that there is always more in the book compared to the movie. 

This, I could say, is one of the most gracefully written stories as it leaves you craving for more - parts that you quite expected, but not quite. It leaves you hanging in just the right amount then you flip the pages until you realize you're done reading yet it doesn't feel like you're craving for a better ending. It just about right. 

Though I couldn't remember many quotable quotes, the story really got into me like I was, for some time, part of it, and I could relate to some of the problems or issues Nick and Amy were going through. It is merely loving someone that gets you all crazy and paranoid, and as much as you want it to end, there is no better person you know who can be with you through all stuff. Maybe all love stories are different - some are cool, to begin with, some might sound ordinary, others can give you chagrin, but all of them require work and constantly trying.

You'd be mind blown where relationships can take you and how it can change you. But, just a piece of advice from a tita like me, do not lose yourself in the process. Find someone you can support you and can understand you even if you do not explain yourself that much. Be with someone who you can reflect with, can discipline you, and can help you be to be a better version of yourself.

Love can consume you at most times as it will always be part of who you are. Stop pretending to be someone you are not and start living you. But, you should also be aware of how you can improve yourself, how you can be able to compromise with your partner. Just because you are so self-aware, that does not mean that you are perfect.

You know, I have read and reflected from the book that insecure people tend to be insecure lovers and hurt people hurt people too. Heal. Reflect. Survive. We should all know it by now - that whatever devastating thing got to us in the past that we almost felt like we are going to die, we have survived it.

Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort

A 15-20-minute ride from Commonwealth, Quezon City, Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort is one of the nearest relaxation spots where you can swim and enjoy peace and quiet time (given that it is not peak season). Entrance fee is P250 and they allow guests to bring their own food and drinks. There's also a convenience store near the entrance that sells everything from charcoal to rice and other things you might need to grill, cook, or eat; and of course, toiletries, most importantly. Cottage rental amounts to P700-P1000; if you are a group of  20 or more people, there's a pavilion available for rent that can accommodate that much. They also have an area where you can conduct seminars and other events such as debuts, weddings, birthdays, etc. You can also use the videoke for P900 (or if you can haggle, you can only get it for P700) and it is good for use during your entire stay, so you better get your songs ready and lined-up. Their restrooms and shower rooms are impressi

Ang Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Ka Oryang

1897  Mayo  1 Mahal kong Oryang, Andres Bonifacio at Gregoria de Jesus photo from the web Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga'y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin. Hindi ka dapat masabi

Some might find it weird about how we juggle up on our interests. Some would say that there's always so much going on and some (might) find it interesting, too. Nonetheless, we just do what we love, what we are interested and passionate about and even the things we don't even know at hand hence trying out and its conversion. Interests, passions and talents turn to 'work' and eventually to crafts (well, whichever comes first). And same goes as what Tina Fey once said, "Your work is your craft and your craft is your art." How we care and hone our given skills and talents, as well dig into the deeper process on the things we are interested about (and even with those we are not totally into); then learning goes along with it.  Speaking of interests and different approach to ideas, medium and overall art... art galleries and/or museums are the best places to see the various aforementioned accessions.  I've visited different art galleries and museums
