Review: The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian

Book Author: Clive Staples Lewis
Walt Disney Pictures
Walden Media Production

"Things will never happen the same way twice" - ASLAN

The power of mind and the ability to put that on writing was awesome. the power to create the most wonderful characters that tickles readers and viewers imagination.
I love the movie. I am fascinated with it. I am fascinated with the characters (the lion - Aslan, the centaurs, the brave princess and kings, the dignified rats etc) and how the author of the book (CS Lewis) created such powerful, fearless, un-imaginable characters.
Lucy - the faithful. she's the youngest among four siblings and yet she has this ability that surpasses her other siblings. she always have believed with Aslan. She is fearless, determined, constant.
The whole story however evolved with Prince Caspian's battle to win over his thrown as the rightful heir to the king from his greedy uncle who plotted Caspian's fathers death and the battle of Narnian's to bring back their freedom.

Review: Lonestar : Amazed

while doing nothing, i was, as always, seated on my lovely chair in front of the computer and was just simply listening to songs as it aired on my winamp.
then, i was hooked with this song and all i said was, wow. thats hot. hahaha
paris hilton? is that me? hahhaha :)
anyway....
my favorite part of the song would be:

EVERY LITTLE THING THAT YOU DO,
IM SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
I WANNA SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE
WITH YOU BY MY SIDE
FOREVER AND EVER
EVERY LITTLE THING THAT YOU DO
BABY IM AMAZED BY YOU

i was hooked by the song and im listening to it again and again.
this song is for you...

i miss you and i will always love you ---
please get back home soon...
i love you and i always will
..

Review: Josh Groban : THE PRAYER

The song is ecstatic. Magnificently sung by Josh Groban and Charlotte Church. Ms. Church willingly gave out a powerful falsetto and it was brilliant. Mr. Groban on the other hand has this perfect aura and baritone voice that gave justice to how A. Bocelli sang the song. His magnetic voice is powerful and convincing and he hits the notes perfectly. This enchanting songs is so good to the heart that I've listened to it over and over again.
I can still remember, during our last day in the review center, we have had a very healthy and heart warming "last-review-night-event" ended up 'til 12 midnight just to enjoy that affair and as the event started, two of our classmates sang this song in a very powerful manner.
I even cried as the song ended. it was so powerful that the crowd went off silence and i can see tears from every one's eyes. we were all tired of the long months of reviewing and one powerful exam will change our everything.
that exam was now done and i am presently waiting for the result and it will be soon. i kept my fingers crossed and prayed a lil bit more harder.
my favorite line would be: "lead us to a place, guide us with Your Grace, to a place where we'll be safe" --- true enough, in my deepest sorrow, when i felt hope is gone and confusions obviously seen; where self control is unbearable and strength is almost lost, it was Him whom i gave my everything. as i prayed deeply that night before the exam, i asked him to guide me all through out. and i believed that in Him, everything will be alright.
i will leave you with this lyrics and song of Josh and Charlotte. and i hope, like me, you will also be touched by the lyrics and the song and the powerful voice and the message the song has.

THE PRAYER BY JOSH GROBAN & CHARLOTTE CHURCH

Review: Jimi West : I love you but its over

"isn't that enough? thats is all i've got. i gave up everything for you. it isn't easy to say, but i have to decide someday and now the day is here, i have to face my fear, i love you but its over"

this line hits like a rock as i continued listening to the song entitled I LOVE YOU BUT ITS OVER by Jimi West, a renowned independent artist that hailed from Japan, a Filipino by genes and by heart, Jimi has this soothing voice and a romantic - soul jives that makes the song more lovely to the ears.
Jimi has proven himself in quite a number of events in Japan and is considered as the top artist in both soul and acoustic genre.
this song, I LOVE YOU BUT ITS OVER is something romantic and talks about how a guy could possibly love girl to the extremes and yet found him self giving up since he feels like everything isn't enough for the girl. and though he didn't want to, he feels like he has no choice, even ends up asking himself what went wrong and just couldn't find the exact reason.
the song can break a man's heart --- even a girl. and i know, from the looks of the song you don't want to be caught dead and unguarded with the same situation where you have no choice but to bid goodbye to the one you love.
so i encourage you guys to listen to this song and download it to your heart and not merely in your PC, appreciate the beauty of music from our own blood.

you can reach JIMI WEST through this site: www.myspace.cm/jimiwest22

ENJOY THE SONG GUYS :)

Review: One More Chance

it was boredome that brought me and belyn to the conclusion to go out and enjoy since it is friday night and we wont have review tomorrow and i wont be doing anything than wash clothes and read on any article concerning the medical - surgical nursing.

i was in this moview theather and i was so like having so much enthusiasm since the actor on that flick was so freaking good looking --- yeah! it was john lloyd cruz and he was so good looking -- ok fine, i admit, the child in me.

ok -- here goes my drama. popoy is an engineer, and basha is the architech, they work together on the same office, went on the same school in college and had their relationship for 5 years. while i was watching the movie with less emotions in my heart, i can feel what the actress --- bea alonzo --- aka: basha --- felt. that tingling little feeling of being "tired". tired because she felt that the relationship isn't moving and is stagnant. the relationship is not growing when it is suppose to grow. she felt tired because she is doing the same things all over and over again.

but when she left popoy ( john lloyd cruz) on the movie with the main reason of feeling choked with the relationship perse, the reason of being tired of her being so attached with popoy, the reason is that, she isnt growing personally and her life for 5 years has been so stagnant with her relationship with popoy, and her main reason is that she is tired because she is unhappy with her present job and for popo's being so incontrol and possessive.

i can really feel her and actually said "the same" line when i have a long speech with who ever i am breaking up with... hehehe... she said: "hindi ko alam kung tama ba itong ginagawa ko, pero alam kong kelangan ko tong gawin" yeah! so gay-ish, oh so mellow dramatic, but in real life, someone have to say those words. i even said: im unhappy of the relationship because i think this relationship isnt going to work out anymore. but i didnt say: i dont love you anymore.

when basha broke up with popoy, i can also feel how popoy felt, how popoy suffered from the un expected event / change in his life and he was so devastated of how his 5 long year relationship ended.

but moving on...

i was so hit with what derek ramsay said on the movie: he said:
"mas nakabuti na naghiwalay kayo because it taught you how to love yourself a little bit more. minsan, kelangan ng dalawang tao maghiwalay, for them to grow. it takes two mature people to make a relationship work"
or yeah, maybe something like that, i was so also hooked with derek's macho gwapito look.
(derek plays one of the office mate of basha --- but i forgot his screen name though)

in the middle of the story, while popoy and basha was out of each others arm, popoy met this beautiful lady named trisha, played by maja salvador. she plays a girl whom popoy met in a bar since she was working there as a singer. she plays gig along with her band, she was talented and she kept on writing popoy a poem and later made him a song.

it was sad that when basha realized things are different now because popoy have already had trisha and she was left alone with no one she felt unhappy being alone and seeing popoy happy with someone else. and though she thought she will become more happier with her so called: "new life", without popoy tagging along with her all the time.

what made me cry the most is when trisha and popoy was talking after having their dinner --- and she said: "mahal mo pa ba sya?" and he said: "ayaw konng makitang nasasaktan ka" then she closed popoy's eyes and said that he should try close his eyes for him not to see her hurt and asked him with the same question and he said: "sorry"
gosh! with all the mized emotions trisha had that moment, i can really feel that too. hahaha

before the movie ended, popoy accepted the offer of working in qatar and he was there for 2 years, before he left, he found basha sitting on a bench in a soccer field where he and basha used to sit when they were still in college.

as they talk he was vocally saying: "sana tayo na lang.... sana tayo ulit.. pero... "
gosh! the BUT thing was so freaking heart aching since he was so sincere in saying that he too needed space for him to find his old self, the one that was not shattered with the pain basha caused him when she broke up with him, the one who's firm, the one who's more happy and out going, the old one whom basha loved.

the movie ended with basha and popoy getting back together --- hahaha --- freak!

the morals of the story: NONE... hahaha

i relayed this story because i feel the urge to say this:

im sorry for miss L for causing her pain --- on the character --- she was trisha. in the real scenario it was her choice to love a man whom she know and she leaned to love though that man loved someone else and she took the risk, and she failed to get into his heart because it already belonged to someone else.

i was just sorry that until now she was still too bitchy and she cannot forgive me. hahaha... it was her choice that made her what she is now. and though she claims that shes ok --- transparent as she always is --- she aint ok. and she will not be ok not until she will accept to her self that it was her own choice that failed her.

my moral lesson for my self:

it was his choice to break up with me because he felt unhappy and confused of whom to choose, me or miss L. it was my choice to accept his humble goodbye and though i often find myself regretting the decision that i made, i stood up for it and proved to my self that things can never be the same again.

it was sad fate that when he learned that he loved me and wanted to get back to me, i was with someone else already --- and though i know to my self that i still love him --- i cant have him no more. im just too coward to have him back because i know to myself that theres that fat chance of me getting hurt again when he becomes confuse again.

it was my decision not to get involved with him. a decision that until now, i do not know if it is right, all i know is that i have to do that for me to grow personally :) bwahahaha :)

if only im brave enough so that i can say: CAN WE HAVE: "ONE MORE CHANCE?"

this sums up all the things :) --- a tribute to my old chat addict self :)

PS: pasensya na po kung mali mali ang litanya ng mga salitang nabigkas ng mga artista sa pelikula --- basta --- the same ang thought :) bwahaha... past 12 na kasi... :(
