"This is not a love story, this is a story about Love."

Finally watched (500) Days of Summer after the putting it off for hmm... about 500 days. Simply because I really need to be in the mood or have company to watch those types of movies. Ended up watching it alone anyway, but I'm happy I did, cause the movie really took me through an emotional ride: 95 minutes of laughters, tears, anger, and frustrations... This entry is not only a brief review for the movie, but it is also the thoughts I have gathered and put down before my short-term memory goes away.

Be careful reading what's next if you have not seen the movie and want to see it, I don't want to ruin anything for ya ;).

Random post

I understand that this is my blog and I should be writing my own thoughts, but sometimes I come across things that others have posted and think... "That's exactly what I'd do," or "That's so meaningful..."


So, I think it's good to share what we all have learned, and that's what this entry is for... All going back to getting hurt and how to get back on our feet. I have said my own opinion about it in more than one entries, but this comes from a complete stranger, a post I accidentally read while surfing through forums online... and I have to say, not everyday you can come across something that makes you nod your head and say "So me!"

A Year in Status...

It really amazes me how fast time flies. This past year has been nothing but greatness, I have learned more and done more than I would have ever thought. I have met or/and got closed to many wonderful people, and I could not ask for more than what I have been given.

Another new year is approaching with new challenges and opportunities, and I am so ready to face everything and giving it my best.

.Goal Set.

Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.  ~Les Brown

Within the past two weeks, I have heard the phrase "Write down your goals" literally more than one hundred times. Therefore, in order for me to say I have done just that, I'm writing them down as you are reading this entry.

The catch here is that goals must be attainable but are clearly something higher or greater you would like to achieve.

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

I am sharing with you one of my favorite short films today... It is not really a film, just an about 8-minute-long video called "Father and Daughter," put together by talented people, and the meaning of it is by far as great as hour-long movies...

The Big... 22!

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

And so it has been 22 years... 22 wonderful years of my life. Not too short, certainly not long at all, but enough for many valuable lessons and experiences... I could never ask for anything better than what I have been given.

Only more than 20 days 'til Christmas, "the most wonderful time of the year," and I cannot think of a better way to start this month by seeing the smiles on people's faces, specifically children's...

"When You Love Someone"

Just finished watching one of my all-time favorite movies, "The Notebook" and I am very much inspired to talk about love.
