has been on repeat on my ipod for the last 2 weeks.
And I would like to dedicate this song to the love of my life, Loki.
Yes, yes.. I know he's the bad guy and he's out to rule
and destroy our planet. But underneath that angry, steel-like
exterior is a misunderstood creature who is just longing to be
accepted and loved. *Sigh* Or maybe he's just pure evil, but
either way, I'd still tap that.. Mmhmm..
I seriously need to go get me a heart-shaped locket
so I can paste his marvelous evil face in it and stare
at it all day daydreaming about our future together.. Tihihihihi..
Seriously.
Perfect Chemistry books about boys in Mexican gangs and their
unlikely love interests which make for a good story about star-crossed lovers,
that I suddenly remembered a movie I saw two years ago.
"Sin
Nombre"
(Nameless)
Sin
Nombre, directed by Cary Fukunaga, is an intertwined story
surrounding a teenage Honduran girl (Sayra) who is attempting to
escape to America for a more prosperous life and a reluctant teenage
boy (Willy aka “El Casper”) part of a notorious Mexican gang who
is trying to find a meaning in life. Their paths fatefully meet
when El Casper is forced to be a part of a hijack with his gang
leader “El Sol”. A turn of a events happen and El Casper is now a
marked man— “green-lit” for death by his own gang. (via tumblr)
This scene with new gang member, Smiley, after he was forced to
bludgeon someone's head with a metal bar. It was heart-wrenching.
There were times in the movie wherein I had a hard time watching
because I felt that it was just too harsh and too real. Like you know
something like this is happening somewhere else in the world at this very moment.
Sin Nombre is just too good of a movie to pass up. I don't remember
seeing anything this intense. Not to mention the cinematography was
just visually stunning in this kind of understated way. It makes you feel
like you're in the movie with the characters and going through every
emotion they're feeling and the situations they're in, too.
This movie wasn't really what I was expecting. It turned out
to be something more. If I had to marry a movie, this movie
would totally be the one I'd want to exchange vows with.
Hands down one of the best films you will ever watch.
Oh no, Casper. You could never fuck up my life.
What with a face like that? Never.
*Sigh*.. I swear this guy Casper will steal your heart.
The dynamics between him helping Sayra through out their
journey
to the border, and his heartbreaking expressions that seeped
through his tough exterior melted my heart.
Mara for life
I died a little during this scene :'(
In case you're still not convinced, watch the trailer here :)
I
like people who can teach me something about ”the world”. People who
tell me stories about their childhood. People who talk about their
favourite films and books and fictional characters. Dreamers and
friendly people. People in touch with their inner child. Idealists.
People who don’t complain too much. People who don't take themselves too
serious. These are the people I like.
Lagged post but I'm back now! Exams week is finally over and summer's here! Mwahahahaha! Just thinking about all the fun stuff I want to do (or not do) for this summer makes me all giddy inside. But more on that later. I'm giving myself a well-deserved pat on the back for surviving my third year in college and turning the big 2-0 without resentment! (yeyy me!)
So here's a bit of a photo diary for what went down during my birthday. As always, I spend it with la familia. <3 Didn't really plan the whole thing out but we ended up eating at one of Cebu's best-kept secret restaurants. That's because you have to know where it is to know that it actually exists. haha!
The fish fillet I had was divine! I am not over-exaggerating when I say it melts in your mouth because hells yeah it totally did melt in my mouth. I'm sure to have that again when I go back.
Their Uzobuco (I don't know if I spelled that right) is a customer favorite. That was some goood tender beef. My grandma even opted to suck out all the marrow. haha! #Neighborhoodies
And of course there's the mandatory two ice cream scoops for desert for ze birthday girl a.k.a MOI!
Apparently the owner collects all these bad boys. A BMW, 2 Ducati motorcycles, 3 ATVs.. What's not to like? This one reminds me of one of the Autobots from Transformers. Rock on!
The next little secret place we went to was this newly opened cupcake shop called Sweet Little Things. I swear if you didn't know where it was then you wouldn't even know it existed, too. Is this the new business trend now? Keep your cafes and restaurants a secret and hopefully people will wander off into deserted street corners and find out about you? Hmm.. Sounds a little shady to me but then what do I know? haha.. All this girly cares about is kinky cuppycakes!! Nomnomnomnomnom..
My favorites are Monkey Business and Cookies & Cream. But then their bestseller is the Flourless Mudpie.
Le mama looking like a prim and proper lady.. Oho oho oho
Random girl gets to be in the shot, too. haha! I give you claps for studying real hard! Clappity-clap!
Read all three books of The Hunger Games trilogy for 3 straight nights (instead of studying. Bad girl!) Have you guys watched the movie yet? I've watched it thrice already :( How obsessed am I?
