Sundays at Tiffany's

Who was my imaginary friend when I was little? The thought of this excites me.

After reading James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's, I tried hard to recall one scene in my life where I think had an imaginary friend... BLANK.

Just like in the story, most of us forget who they were or the feeling that they have ever existed in our lives. Well if you're lucky, you might be just like Jane who remembered everything about Michael, her imaginary friend and later became her husband.

The book is a nice read especially when you're a romantic person. It adds color to your life and a little of crazy human imagination. It was exciting for me to read it for I know it won't be the usual love story I watch everyday in teleseryes on tv. It was a love between a mortal Jane and Michael (he was closest to an angel I believe).

The characters interest me. I like Vivienne's character, Jane's mom who was a strong, powerful, classy woman. I also like Hugh who mirrors today's good looking but arrogant and stupid men (some men). I like the little role of Clare, the supermodel who I expected to be bitchy and arrogant but turned out to be a woman of class and manner. I liked MaryLouise's character who seemed to be on Jane's side all the time and understood what she's feeling. These characters has added more color to Jane and Michael's love story.


Jane and Michael are of course the best characters because the story revolved on their love for each other. They were truthfully in love even if they were uncertain about how it'll work out for them. Michael strove to know the answers and didn't fail. He didn't fail Jane, her love for him and mostly he didn't fail himself. He was brave to ask and figure out what was happening and brave enough to accept that he's slowly turning into someone who feels pain, hurt and joy because of his great love for Jane. The perfect description of a man added magic to his beautiful character. While Jane's character was soft and a little bit boring at first who lives in her mother's shadow. A lonely girl who was unhappy with her mother and boyfriend, probably her whole life. She was in search of true happiness until she met Michael again, her long lost imaginary friend who then added color to her dull life.

The love story gives us something to hold on to... love. For them, it started with him being her imaginary friend (his job tasked by God) and her being that wimpy girl who never had confidence for/to herself and was in search of the real meaning of life, happiness and true love.The story brings realization that boundaries, social status and time aren't hindrances to a perfect and meaningful love. That if you want it, you should fight for it. And that leaving and turning away from the situation doesn't solve the problem. It takes only you to live the life you want.

"So let me see if I have this right," said Michael, "The big whoop about being human is that you get to die?" "To live and die" said Jane.

I believe in love and in angels. I believe that someday one person will totally teach me and you what love means. This person could be someone from your past, the present or someone who you'll soon be meeting. That perfect person will come... in the right place, at the right time. I guess when we least expect it.


Have you met yours?

Status Update

Have you posted?

Showbiz Inside Report (Entertainment Talkshow of ABS-CBN) tackled an interesting and timely topic a while ago on their episode. It is no surprise to many that Twitter and Facebook have become more than just a Social Networking Site. What seems to be interesting is how well social media has become a necessity even for the ordinary Juan dela Cruz.

What did Anne Curtis, Angel Locsin and Vice Ganda tweet today? Is it traffic in EDSA @MMDA? How about the weather Kuya Kim? Is Derek Ramsay transferring to TV5? Is it true that Showtime's a big noontime flop? So many questions for almost every Juan and organization. Ask Juan and he'll answer. He's very much updated. What gets my attention is how these celebrities and fans react to every question and to every opinion they're getting.

Twitter: my new newspaper.

I like twitter. I like how it works. I get to the point of spending all day looking at tweets from the artists I follow and can spend all day ranting and talking about random things. I tweet because I want to be connected to my friends and to the world.

I like to share that I was blocked by 2 celebrities now, RG and KD. (Hahaha!) I told RG that her report was a pickup from another stations report and it was my research. Then with KD, I told her that she shouldn't think of herself as god in her field because there are better newscasters around who are really good at what they do, not to mention they aren't bitches like her. So there, my next tweet to them I learned I was blocked. (Hahahaha!) I was just expressing my opinion. I thought RG was guilty and KD was really pissed by my rude words (well she was rude too. ganti lang.)

It's all in our definitions and perspectives on things and situations. I can be good in twitter but I can be really rude. It's freedom of expression I believe yet I also know that it has limitations. I am no stupid basher on twitter like most fans are. I like to say that these people are bobo! Or in Iza Calsado's term "mga kulang sa edukasyon". But not just the fans.even artists tend to be stupid.

I don't want to name names of those artists but they really are. Review their tweets and you'll know what kind of intelligence and values they have. Some are really JUST beautiful stupid creatures.

Social media builds better communication and relationships so we should use it to our advantage. We need not destroy its purpose and most importantly our values and our reputation.

At the end of the day, we define who we are by our actions and by our words.

Whether they're Mestizos o Kayumanggis...

 So today I tweeted:  Watched the Philippine #Azkals play Turkmenistan a while ago. Tatay ko keeps on saying "Di magagaling yang mga yan. Palaging talo".  Hay! Be grateful they're proud to represent this country, your country. Stop the hate. #Azkals
 

And one stupid guy with the username @imcutepoison replied saying "Magaling ba magfutbol tatay mo? Baka sumipsip ng itlog lang siya magaling!" I got irritated to the point that I told him to go back to school, get an education and learn good manners. See, the point here is not to get so obsessed with all your "idols" and to please read tweets carefully and learn to understand. Well at some point, fans can be so rude, irrelevant and stupid. Sorry for my words.

The Philippine Azkals faces a lot of issues, to name a few: sexual harassment 1 and 2 and their "true" / "real" nationality. I won't discuss the legalities of those sexual harassment issues for I'm no expert on that. I think these people are proud to represent our country in football. Majority maybe are mestizos but what the hell, at least they're carrying our flag and our name in international competitions. Let's not be too rude on these people, we are new to football and let's not cut their hopes of winning for our country.

Stop the hate. Please.
