Kudos to IN MY LIFE...the Movie

Ok, I have to confess that I am not a big fan of Filipino movies at all. Magalit na kayo, but that's me, in all honesty. But, the other side of it is, hindi rin naman ako big fan ng English/American films. I like some of them, but just the same, I don't spend my dollars to see their films, so quits lang. I am a TV-person! I love the comfort of home-viewing! However, if there's a film I really like, and an opinion of someone I respect alot, I might go and see it. So, just because a friend liked the movie "UP", yes, I did see the movie and liked it too.

This time around, this dear friend said, na hindi naman niya napanood ang In My Life, pero maganda raw. Stubborn me, I simply brushed it off, who cares? (So, ibaba na ang mga nakataas na kilay, I plead guilty naman eh). Sa tutoo lang, my niece Jeng called me Saturday, inaaya ako to see it, sabi ko lang, sige lang...am not interested. But Ate Delia, my sis-in-law, who happens to be a big Vilma fan called me Saturday night, and asked if we're watching In My Life. I actually don't have plans for real, after I got so disappointed with Bea Alonzo's And I love you so. Sorry na naman, pero di ko talaga nagustuhan. So this time around, I said, never again ako mag-watch ng Filipino film. But going back to Ate Delia, it was so hard for me to said no, so yesterday, off we went to see it.

OMG, yes I mean OMG! In all fairness, I liked it!!!!!!!!! Very funny and well directed. The script is well written too. There was no dragging part, and the story hits home, especially for filipinos who migrated here. Sobrang makaka-relate ka with the struggles one goes through when moving here in the US, but in a very funny way...ang galeng talaga! To top it all, may puso ang movie na ito!

The ending was anti-climactic for me, but you can't do it any other way, so maganda pa rin.

So, sa lahat ng Pinoy, take it from me, the movie is worth seeing! (ang galing kong magsalita 'no?) But I told myself, I'll get a DVD once it becomes available.

Congrats sa Star Cinema...Mabuhay kayo!...ang galeng...to the highest level!

IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON!

Yes, it's Football Season, and what a way to start it off for our very own CHARGERS, but a great win against The RAIDERS! Sorry my friend, anyways, any game at the O is always a win, if you know what I mean!
I remember back when I was still in the Philippines, that the one and only team sport that we grew up with and came to love is Basketball. Don't get me wrong, because we've love the sport so much, with all due respect! Who would forget the Crispa-Toyota Days? Later on the MBA was introduced trying to compete with the PBA. It was actually a great idea to bring basketball closer to the people. It became popular because of the team names like Laguna Lakers, Batangas Blades, and later on, more funnier team names came out. Unfortunately, the funny names wasn't enough to keep the league going, So in 2002 I think, it had to fold! Oh which reminds me of a dear friend who happens to be the MBA's barker...so what's up right now KMC?

When I came to the US of A, I was introduced to 2 team sports: Football and Baseball. If you know me that well, if you say sports, it got to be tough and rough, so Baseball never attracted me, the game I mean, because I like A-Rod and Derek, for obvious reasons. So when it came to Football season, I get all excited. Trust me, I don't understand how the game really works, what matters most to me is getting the ball to the other end, so I can yell: TOUCHDOWN! Later on, I find myself getting more interested in it, so I decided to buy the book-Football for Dummies, and start asking around why things are this and that. So now, I have a better way of not only appreciating the game, but understanding it too...the only sport I watch since.

So, if you need me on days that the BOLTS are playing, I wish you good luck, because most likely, you won't get hold of me...joke...joke...joke!

So, see you all at the SUPERBOWL? or should I say SUPERBOLTS!
