It All Ended with Ginger and Cinnamon

When I am happy, I cannot write. However, I would, with all my heart, regret if I won't write on this one glorious moment. This direction would be a start of something new for me and for all who is a part and will be a part of it.

In spite of the news of a typhoon that would hit the weekend afternoon four days ago, the never ending quest on when will our schedules will meet, and the scarcity of time to rehearse, finally, we've shared the same tune as we dive into the pursuit of our long lost passions and dreams. Words weren't enough to describe what had happened last weekend. It was just-- a BLAST! I realized that one way or another it maybe the universe and fate telling us, not to worry at all because each one of us is sourced with a gift.

To Francis, Alec, Lea, Nathan and Gel:  

You guys were awesome and prolific!

We went home at around 5AM after a nice hot soup and woke up noon hitting the Shang to watch an Italian movie at the Italian Movie Fest--- for free!!!! :)

(Loved it! Ginger and Cinnamon after a share of humble banoffee pie)

We won't worry our lives away,

And the only Answer is YES!!!!

The Fringe Benefits of Failure

TED really makes me thinking... 

I have been watching this clip over and over again and find it amusingly inspiring. I jotted some ideas of Ms. Rowling about the benefits of failure and this is what I got...

1.Once you take the wheel, the responsibility is with you.

2. Poverty entails fear,and stress and sometimes depression it means a thousand petty humiliation but    climbing out of poverty by your own efforts that is something to which you pride yourself and poverty itself      is romanticized by fools.

3. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.

4.  Failure is meant to scripting away of the inessential.

5.  Some failure in life is inevitable it is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might not have lived after all in which case you failed by default.

6.  Personal happiness is knowing that life is not a checklist.

7.  Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control and the humility to know that will enable you to survive this vicissitudes.

8. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fountain of all invention and innovation. in its arguably most trans-formative and revelatory capacity, it is power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we never shared.

There were a lot of good points that I would have not jotted down.... Hear for yourself and be inspired!

Gotta go Back to Work....

This kind of hit me right in the face...



"You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world." — Ray Bradbury




(Oh... and yes, I am writing again....)

In a Very Unusual Way, You've Made Me Whole

I remembered this song back from the days that my ears won't shut till I hear something so soothing... sometimes putting me into a sort of trance then fall asleep. I'm actually in the hunt for a DVD of this movie now. Nicole Kidman is just so ethereal. The song and the scene--- surreal. (Pardon me for the conversation parts..it may or may not be accurate)

UNUSUAL WAY

In a very unusual way

One time I needed you

In a very unusual way

You were my friend

Maybe it lasted a day

Maybe it lasted an hour

But somehow it will never end

Claudia: These women who come up that pedestals for a kiss... they're just fantasies.
Guido: No you misunderstood.

In a very unusual way

I think I'm in love with you

In a very unusual way

I want to cry

Something inside me goes weak

Something inside me surrenders

And you're the reason why,

you're the reason why

You don't know what you do to me

You don't have a clue

You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you

It scares me so that I can hardly speak

Guido: She's an inspiration...
Claudia: I can't keep playing that part.
Guido: But I fall in love with you everytime...
Claudia: When there's a camera between us?
Guido: No...
Claudia: He's not a real person, Guido, this man you describe, he doesn't know how to love.  

In a very unusual way

I owe what I am to you

Guido: There was a time once when on location, on some terrible hotel, you were in the room directly above me. I could hear you're walking above and all through the night, I wanted to rush up the stairs and hammer on your door till you open...
Claudia: Why didn't you?
Guido: I don't know... i don't know.

(lines that Nicole didn't sing but is included in the song: Thought at times it appears I won't stay I never go)

Special to me in my life

Since the first day that I met you

How could I ever forget you

Once you had touched my soul?

In a very unusual way......You've made me whole.

Another version that I really love was sung by my all-time favorite Joan Cano of the UST Singers.



Stupenda... Bellisima... Kaunis...

still in a trance,
