For The First Time - My Review

I watched this movie for the simple reason that I am a KC Concepcion admirer and fan. As I predicted, there is nothing really new about the movie except of course that Santorini is really a magnificent place and sight.

For the first part, I somehow enjoyed it but as the story comes half-way, it shifted from a comedy into a mellow drama and I wonder where could Candy Pangilinan be?

For the first time, seriously, is not a movie that I expected. There were so much hope for the stars of the movie but it is still raw. I don't really like it and if not only for KC, I would just wait for the movie to be released in DVD.

Eraserheads - The Reunion

It was August 30, 2008, when the reunion of all sorts of reunion happened in the history of the Philippine music industry - it was the Eraseheads' Concert.

I got hold of their ticket only a day before and i was quite hesistant at first because it is really costly but thinking that it would be Eraserheads, i just said, "okay lang, para naman sa mga pare ko, ito."

Arriving at the Fort open field is quite easy. I took a cab from my office in ortigas and in 30 minutes, i was already at the concert venue. I was there around 5:00pm and there was already a small crowd of fans flocking everywhere. Security was tight but that is for the safety of everyone. Now I only have to wait for the concert to begin.

Eraserheads, who would have thought that they will have this concert. It was a dream come true for every soul who was able to experience the euphoria, the magic, the excitement of the four guys playing their hit songs once again!

Every soul was singing with them. Every one was in a party mode, happy mode and whatever mode..All I know is that, it was a dream come true. Just seeing them there is history.

Unfortunately, it was cut short because of Ely's exhaustion but what the heck, they have given a spot in the Philippine music history. They have proven that they are indeed an ICON.

Eraserheads is ERASERHEADS and until then, that day, that concert, that August 30, 2008 event at the Fort is a night where everyone had the time of their lives. Kudos, Eraserheads!!

For my Mama, Dr. Buenavida Arendoque Pareja

It was May 4, 2001. How can i possibly forget? It has been seven years since she passed away, since i last held her hand, saw her smile, touched her face, and kissed her lips...I still remembered how she looked at me that friday morning I last saw her..She was just staring at me and it beats the hell out of me. She was a great mom indeed and no one could ever replace her in my heart.

It has been seven years and yet everytime i think of her, everytime i look at her pictures, tears just keep pouring down my cheeks...*Sigh*i still miss her so much.

Life has never been easy since she left us...especially for me. I have learned life the hard way. I have been out in the cold, lost in the woods, and technically, i was not really living right. It took time for me, a very long time, that is, for me to realize that I have to get up and do something with my life, a slow realization that somehow seemed unreachable to face life's journeys. Life has to go on. No matter how painful, no matter how hard, no matter how rough the road may be, life has to go on.

Ma, (as i fondly call her) you are my star...you left a deep mark that will always occupy 101% of my heart. I took the courage of living life because I know this is the only way that you could be proud of me and even if you are no longer here, I know and I can feel that I have proven my worth as a person and even if still many of the people around me don't see whatever it is that I am doing right, i really don't care because I know, in my heart, you are still there who believes me.

Thank you Ma for making me the person I am now. You will always be with me until I too, will die.

NOTE: The picture was taken months before she died
