Quotable Quotes

Noah Calhoun:
"I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter any more, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love.
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me.
That's what I hope to give to you forever.
I love you. I'll be seeing you."

Please Dont Drink and Drive

This is Jacqueline Saburido on September 19, 1999.

This is her and her Father, 1998.

This is her on Vacation in Venezuela.

Birthday party as a child.

At a party with friends.

The car in which Jacqueline traveled. She was hit by another car that was driven by a 17-year old male student on his way home after drinking a couple of hard packs with his friends. This was in December 1999.

After the accident Jacqueline has needed over 40 operations.

Jacqueline was caught in the burning car and her body was heavily burnt during around 45 seconds.

With her Father, 2000.

Getting treatment.

Three months after accident.

Without a left eyelid Jacquie needs eye drops to keep her vision.

Now 20 year old, he cannot forgive himself for driving drunk on that night three years Ago.
He's aware of devastating Jacqueline Saburidos life.

Not everyone who gets hit with a car dies. This picture was taken 4 years after the accident and the doctors are still working on Jacqueline, whose body was covered with 60% severe burnings.





God forbids this happens to anyone close to me or I know. People are stubborn!!

Just recently right after I got my drivers license and started driving around the city, I thought about something. What is the disadvantage of getting your license and start driving? I say it was being unable to drink whenever your out clubbing, or partying or just plain drinking at the bar with friends. So for a slew of occasions now, I wasn't able to drink alcohol at any parties and bars I have been to ever since I started driving. And Im very proud of myself for that. Even proud of my friends to for they did not let me drink and drive. But I have a confession to make, yeah, I need a spank in the behind because I totally just did that today. I had a couple of shots in the bar and even took some with me on my way home. Okay, I wasnt drunk, but tipsy enough to drive in swirls on the streets of vegas. I am guilty of this, I am stubborn but I promised my self, even way before this, I will never drink and drive or at least try not to.

Ironically, right when I got home, I saw this message posted on Myspace bulletin. This totally hit me and made me feel guilty, nauseous and sad. This story is so sad and it had to happen to someone so innocent. Live is so unpredictable out there. So please, dont drink and drive. Spare someone their lives and even yours.

Hope this will serve as a lesson to stubborn people out there who could care less about anything....

Big Kiss,

FLiCK PiCKS


DREAMGiRLS-
You have to have a sense musicality in you for you to appreciate this movie. It is based on a 1981 broadway musical, therefore there is a lot of singing in this one. This movie debuted American Idol 3 reject Jennifer Hudson. She did a terrific job acting and extra terrific when she sang.
This movie is something you might want to watch with your mom or aunt or girlfriend. Some boyfriends/brothers/guy friends, I think, will have a hard time appreciating this one. Nevertheless, this movie is worth watching. A lot of goosebump moments when they perform. This will leave you wanting more...

50 FiRST DATES-
Ive seen this movie thrice now. Until now, I still laugh my ass off, cry and laugh some more. For some reason, I find this movie bittersweet. It is just so sad that they have to go through that over and over again for the rest of their lives for what? just for her to forget it again and go through it again and its just going to be a cycle like that forever. But then again, its sweet and touching, because she has a man that loves her that is willing to go through this redundancy just for her to remember it even for a small period of time for the day. This magic is called...TRUE LOVE

BECAUSE i SAiD SO-
A very typical mother and daughter relationship kind of story. The story evolves around a nosy and protective mother. Who, according to her, only wants her daughter to have a healthy relationship and not ending up alone. So, she does her daughter and her self a favor by setting up a blind date for her daughter where she picks the guys herself. The only thing is, she picked the guy according to her likings and not necessarily to her daughter's likings. This caused chaos because on the other hand, the daughter found another man. So she basically dated with two different guys at the same time. One guy she dated just because her mom said so, and the other guy, she came to really like and love. Very interesting to watch. Makes you wants to have sisters and a sassy mom, very funny relationships with the characters.

THE HOLiDAY-
A feel good movie. Very refreshing to watch. Loved the character and the story. Im sure you'd love it too...

...so thats my flick picks for now. These are the four latest films ive seen for the past two weeks/month in the theaters, my tv and/or computer...

MUSiC & LYRiCS



Lyrics:
Cora:
I've been living with a shadow overhead I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

Alex:
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

Chorus: [Both]
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

Cora:
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

Alex:
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

Chorus: [Both]
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

Cora:
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

Both:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Philippine Election 2007

Many things have had happened in the Philippines over the years. A lot of good things, and certainly many more bad things. Through the years, Filipino people had only felt and seen suffering, pain, hunger, illness, bitterness, murder, and poverty. This year and the coming years, we deserve way better than this. Its time for a change! Obviously, change does not occur overnight. It is something each and everyone of us needs to work on over and over again. If we fall, we rise up again. And change comes with wise decision making

I haven't been in the Philippines for almost eight years now. I never had the chance to exercise my right to vote there. Firstly, I wasn't at the right age while I was still residing there, and secondly, I together with my family just decided to become US citizens for various valid reasons. So, a lot of people will think that I do not have the right to even meddle with Philippine politics anymore. And this is all I have to say....YES I DO!!! I am in this as much as everyone is. I respect and still care for this country, my country.

Even though I cant cast my votes anymore, I still wanted to choose from the senatorial candidates. My Top Three would have been;

1. Chiz Escudero
2. Edgardo Anggara
3. Panfilo Lacson

These people, I think are the rightful ones to rule the senate. I like these three because they are proved to have had a change in the society. I remembered Lacson's day as a PNP Chief, and certainly he has done a lot of changes, for the better. Anggara and Escudero had the fair share in the society as well. They, and not some movie actor should win. So What? They acted out as politicians in the movies and they think its as easy as the real life. I probably do not know or understand where they are coming from, but Filipinos are smart enough to make wise decision. Actors are strictly for screens and they should just let the politicians who studied, and went to school or at least came from a family background of such to rightfully fill in as law makers, crime stoppers and helpers of the Philippines.

Im not expecting anyone to understand and agree with these opinions I made. After all, what do I know about all of these? RIGHT? I do not fully understand whats going on inside and out as much as I wish i could. SO dont hate. Hehehe....


PS. oooOOOOoohh. I heard Pacquiao is losing over Custodio. THANK GOD.... People are smart you know. LOL...we have been there and done that. What happened? a BIG nothing... lol.. Know what I mean? anyways.. hope everybody voted wisely. Have a safe week ya'll.

Big Kiss,
Eileenie
