Coocoo-kachoo. 

Have a great weekend :D

My mother

My mother is a very, very misunderstood person.  She is loving and wise, quirky and funny, as well as forward looking, innovative even, but traditional.  Others may think of her uh, differently, but I will always see her as Mommy.

I was inspired by THIS blog and its entry.  Also because I've been hanging around my family so much, I thought why the heck not.  Also, 8 is my mother's favorite number, aside from the size of her shoesies. :)

1. Your hair is your crowning glory.  However weird your clothes are, if you're hair is neat, you will look neat.  (My dad said that a measure of someone's cleanliness and hygiene is if their nails are neat and clean.)

2. Every woman should have good posture.  It also shows your confidence when you have none. 

3. There are different kinds of strength and sometimes, it is really, really quiet so it is mistaken for weakness.

4. You can shut someone up with a look. (In tagalog, "makuha ka sa tingin")

5. Every woman should learn how to depend on herself. 

6. You can never love too much.

7. Makeup can be taken off with Ponds Cold Cream and be used as overall body moisturizer.

8. There is always, ALWAYS hope. 

I love my mommy :)

Across the Universe

I'm officially in love with the movie "Across the Universe".  It was my soundtrack for the weekend and made me feel better about the world.  Why wouldn't it?  The songs are all by the Beatles!!! :)  I'm a Beatlemaniac.  I love their songs, if not all of them, then ALMOST all.  I can't think of one song I don't like actually, nor can I think of JUST ONE FAVORITE.  *sigh*

I know I'm late in the game with this movie having been released a couple years ago, but better late than never.  :D  Now I'm bordering obssession.  hehehe!

I heart it.  Or rather, STRAWBERRY IT.

And who knew Evan Rachel Wood could sing?  I like her voice, even if I'm not a big fan of her in general.  I love her version of "If I Fell".  It adds a whole other layer to the emotion of the song in her version.

They all look so happy.

Then there was this other chica who I'm pretty sure I have a girl crush on.

TV Carpio.  She played Prudence, who turns out to be a lesbian.  She sang the best remake of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" ever.  EVER.

But. BUT. BUT.  I am truly, madly and deeply in love with this fellow:

Jim Sturgess.  I liked you in "21".  I fell in love with you in "Across the Universe".  *sigh*

The cameos of Bono, Eddie Izzard and Salma Hayek were genius too.  Bono's version of "I Am the Walrus" is, was sheer awesomeness.

There.  I'm done sharing the strawberries I have for this movie.  *sigh*

New York or London?

I've lately been feeling the wanderlust more than usual.  I guess it's because also of the season.  This season doesn't seem right to be all hot and stinky.  I would like to be in crisp cold weather.  Autumn, I miss that season.  All the colors, the brisk walking that comes with it, the golden hue to the world. 

Of course when it comes to places, the two favorite places I have lived comes to mind, which are New York City and London.  I miss them both.  Now that the wanderlust has taken over, I'm trying to imagine myself where I'd rather be.  My heart is in London, my soul is in New York. 

I guess I'm just a traveler.  In my head.

Though recently the desire to move out of this country has taken hold of me.  Again.  But I think that sadly, this may be permanent move, IF I do move.  I'll give myself til next year to decide and save up.  After all the troubles of this year, I need to save up first. 

For now, before I make any decisions, I will just look at pictures.

Though it does seem different without the twin towers.  :(

Aaaaaaaaah London.  And the Thames.  Wow, what I wouldn't give to go back.  Then again, I have nothing right now.  But then, well, you know what I mean.

*SIGH*
