A few years ago, we all know the craze that happened at the release of Twilight. It dwindled only after a few years, the craze transferring to the succeeding film.
It only seemed fair to end the series of Stephanie Meyer by watching the last movie at the big screen since I started there in the first place. As a fan of the series, the end was so awesome, it makes me want to watch it over and over and over until I'm so sick of it my head'll hurt. Thought I don't think that's likely to happen.
Anyways, it was a great, perfect even in my opinion, end movie because there wasn't any cliff-hangers, the feel of bitin, even the feeling of something lacking was...well, lacking. From what I could remember of what was in the book, there were scenes that coincides with the film that I think were beautifully depicted, presented...whatever. I just think its awesome. (Now that I thought of it, the masterminds for these films already found the perfect Renesme for the movie long before the movie itself. Cool.)
I watched the movie with my bestie this weekend to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Her mom puts her in house arrest during weekends, and her Dad is kind of paranoid when she leaves the house on weekends. We laughed so hard when she almost fainted at the price of the food she was going to order at the restaurant I brought her to. She's kind of a none-spender-if-not-necessary kind of girl, which means she usually spends a small amount on food and putting away the rest for more dire needs.
Anywho, we spent what time we had watching the movie, laughing and just hanging out. Its been a long time since we hang that long seeing as we were both busy with schoolwork and stuff. (Which reminds me I haven't done my speech yet. Shit. I'm SO SCREWED!!!)
***
We were bestfriends since high school, been through thick and thin, able to stand my twisted, quirky attitude for that long and not leave me as others had done...for that, I owe her a lot and will always have her back as she has done before.
For me, its hard to say these mushy stuff, prefering to express what I feel through writing or through song if I've not choice. That's the purpose of this blog. For me to show what I feel deep inside because I don't have the right words, or don't have the willpower to say it. I can't help it if I just bottle it all up. Avoidance of getting hurt maybe. I don't know. But its the hurt I inflict whenever I hesitate or find it hard to tell the right things at the right moment that hurts me the most.
So, thanks for everything Jazz, love you and always, ALWAYS, take care of yourself. And always remember that I'll be there for you as you'd been there for me. Through thick and thin, anything, there's nothing we can't solve together. :)

Sad...but everything has an end
This is for those who know what I mean.. :)
With the Philippine Model United Nations at its near end, this delegate would like to reminisce on the good times in the committee.
Getting to know the other delegates and their skills was commenced on the very first day of the meeting as it should be. At first impression, I thought that everyone in the room was strictly serious despite the rumors going around that the current Chairperson was the most nicest and lenient Chair in the MUN. I thought then that in the General Assembly, they were the committee who were supposed to be the cool one. And I was surprised when I found out their Chair was one of the strictest and the former Sec-Gen. Poor them.
As the days progressed, the other delegates joined forces to create a new resolution concerning the current agenda in line with Economic and Social issues. They worked surprisingly well and with full cooperation that we finished the first agenda, which usually was supposed to accommodate longer than I had expected. And for that this delegate commemorates the efforts of everyone for their cooperation and assistance in drafting the working papers so that we finished the first agenda halfway through the second day. This delegate also commemorates and admires the delegates of other countries who talked the most off and on the podium, for their utter confidence and their deliverance of their speeches. its almost as if they didn't need notes when they were on the podium. Hopefully, I'll be near their level by the next year.
Because of the smooth and fast-pace progress we were having, we get to finish 15 to 30 min before the allowable time of adjournment. We even got to be on the front page of the PhilMUN World Press. Also, the ECOSOC was one of the committees who finished 3 resolutions by day two. A major achievement for us.
Since we had to wait for the allowable time to adjourn, the Chair suggested a country promotion...through picking personal privilege notes given to the dais. It was so hilarious, the country promotions. One memorable delegate for taking his time as one of the speakers in the Speaker's List was clearly one of the most unforgettable. It was so informal ending with "...for the betterment of you and me.." or something like that and his interpretive speech by using gestures while singing "Heal the World", that he was always called by the Chair and the others just cracks ups. And his country promotion? As the delegate of South Korea, and since he wasn't prepared, he demonstrated how to eat bibimbap(is this correct??) and unknowingly then, poured a cup of hot sauce all over it, thinking it was some red sauce, and took a huge bite. Seriously, it was all in the World Press. I really feel bad--though, at the same time laughing inside, sorry to say--when immediately, his face reddens and it wasn't just because of the adrenaline and being in front.
As I mentioned in my FB page, "Really honored to be part of the ECOSOC community and am proud to say that overall "global participation" played a big role in a successful meeting during the past few days. Special mention to all the delegates who showed their prowess while drafting the resolution papers. Pero, seriously, I was happy how it all turned out." I'm looking forward, more or less, to the next Model United Nations next year. And pray and hope that the Chair would be as great, lenient and MUN-savvy as our current Chair because sadly, this is her last PHILMUN and next year she'll be doing her OJT.
Anyway, this delegate, again, is looking forward to this learning experience next year.

What are the odds???
Imagine my surprise when I saw my midterm grade at philosophy...not only did I fail, but also almost of class. As in, there were only four people who passed, and there grades only ranged from 70 to 80%. My prof really, REALLY, gives some low grades. I mean, where's his Christmas spirit?? Its almost the season of freakin giving, for goodness' sake.
When he explained why we failed...man, I couldn't really believe it.
Anyway, good news is that the rest of the day went rather well, watching Sherlock reruns and waiting for the next season, or series as they call it. It was actually based on the book itself, and though there were theories of different people from the web, I'm holding my breath for the real answer. No guessing , no theorizing or anything of the like. Did you know that the websites, the blogs of the characters, really do exist? Sherlock's, Watson's and Molly's blogs are real. There were entries and stuff. It was really intriguing and the comments were funny, thought-provoking and adds to the mystery of the show itself.
For me, Sherlock's kind of sweet, though he has his irritating moments as well as hilarious moments where his wit, sarcasm and whatnot tickled my funny bones. His intelligence and his ways of deduction are really awe-inspiring, that most of the time I can't follow what he's saying because he TALKS SO FAST!!! :P
Really, I can't imagine many people being able t do that. And for that, Benedict Cumberbatch, I salute your acting prowess on the TV screen. Great job in playing as the legendary Sherlock Holmes as well as the brilliant Stephen Hawking in the film Hawking.
