Watch 30 movies

So far, I've watched two new movies! :) 1. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Wikipedia gist: Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is a 2008 romantic comedy film directed by Peter Sollett and starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings. Written by Lorene Scafaria and based on the novel of the same name by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, the story tells of teenagers Nick (Cera) and Norah (Dennings), who meet when Norah asks Nick to pretend to be her boyfriend for five minutes. Over the course of the night, together they try to find their favorite band's secret show and search for Norah's drunken best friend. What I love about it: I like the musical score of the movie - it was sort of casual romantic. Reminds you of young, crazy love - midnight escapades, drunken nights, etc.

2. Vanity Fair Wikipedia gist: Vanity Fair is a 2004 British-American costume drama film directed by Mira Nair and adapted from William Makepeace Thackeray's novel of the same name. The novel has been the subject of numerous television and film adaptations, and Nair's version made notable changes in the development of main character Becky Sharp. The film was nominated for "Golden Lion" Award in 2004 Venice Film Festival. What I love about it: I have always loved period films like this, it transforms me into another world. I like Reese Witherspoon's character - feisty, ambitious, talented, and gorgeous. The story was intriguing and interesting even though there were boring scenes.

Check list before hitting 3-0!

Last week, it dawned on me... I'm nearing the big 3-0! Honestly I have mixed motions- excited, anxious, afraid, happy, sad, etc! I'm looking forward to a new chapter of my life, but I'm also hesitant to let go of my 20s- it was so much fun that I'm wondering whether my third decade of existence in this world would be the same. We can't stop time from rolling, that's why I just chose to enjoy my last months as a 20-something young woman who is set to conquer wider horizons, especially now that I'm married already. So last week at the office, Jen (my BSB) and I thought of doing this "30 before 30" list - it's like a bucket list of the things we wanna do, we wanna go to, we wanna achieve before turning 30 next year. I guess this is also our way for us to easily learn to love being in our 30s! It took me some time before I finalize this list, because I tried to be ambitious yet realistic, given that I have only about 7 months to go before hitting 30. Some of the items in this list are shared with Jen, while some are just my very own: 1. Perfect 30 recipes. 2. Read and collect 30 books. 3 Visit 30 places you've never been to. 4. Donate to charity / foundation. 5. Try a new hair style of treatment. 6. Watch 30 movies. 7. Enroll in a class and learn something new. 8. Grow a plant. 9. Go on one local and one international trip. 10. Write a 30-page story. 11. Post 30 blog entries. 12. Go on a 30-day fast of something you can't live without. 13. Place a lottery bet 30 times. 14. Write a letter to yourself before your 30th birthday and read it only after 5-10 years. 15. Buy a piece of furniture for your future home. 16. Send an email to 30 long-lost friends or relatives. 17. Buy 30 grocery items you haven't tried before. 18. Eat in 30 new restaurants. 19. Throw or give away 30 items you no longer need or use. 20. Learn how to drive. 21. Buy an expensive jewelry. 22. Pay out all debts. 23. Treat your family to an expensive dinner or outing. 24. Buy a toy you used to play when you were young. 25. Compile albums of all yoour photos in Facebook. 26. Organize a cousins' reunion - mother side. 27. Do a follow-up consultation with your OB. 28. Organize your files in your laptop and delete unnecessary files. 29. Treat to lunch or dinner 3 important people that you've lost touch with. 30. Have P50,000 in your coop savings account.

Hibernation Over - New chapter in my life up next!

It has been six months since I last blogged. For the past months I swear I tried my darn best to write anything under the sun, but I just can't. For the first two months I'm excused, because my then boyfriend (now husband) Lito, Mascot my love arrived and of course... I've zoned out as we did a lot of catching up (at long last back in each other's arms!) Most importantly, I just got married! ***Hooray!!*** And I know you would probably say, that I should have written a blog about this important milestone in my life! ;) But yes, sad to say, I still don't have any new entry in my blog. I guess i was too busy being happy that I didn't find time to write anymore. Hahaha :D Many things happened recently, the most meaningful and memorable of all is that I'm now a Mrs...so now I'm thinking of getting back to this therapeutic hobby of sharing my thoughts about anything that is close to my heart. And to begin with, I'm in the process of completing my 30 before 30 list, which my BSB Jen and I thought of. We're both 29 years old, and we are doing a list of 30 things we would like to do before hitting 3-0 next year! That would be UP NEXT! :)
