He's just not *that* into you

Today I watched this film with my friends called He's just not that into you



And I must say that I've learned couple things from this movie. I know it sounds silly that it takes only A movie to make me realize stuff about relationships. And it's really tough, especially since I dont know where i am in a relationship now cuz the boy im dating or was dating or probably never dated in the first place is giving me a hard time understanding him.

The thing is that, these past couple weeks I have realized that not all men are the same, yes, there are good ones out there. But it just takes skills to find the right one for us. It also takes A LOT of patience and motivation.

A girl is worth lot more than an asshole who doesnt call when he said he was going to, or a douchebag who says he likes you but doesnt show it to you, or a jerk that keeps playing around with your feelings when they actually just want sex from you. Common mistakes we women make is that we keep thinking that we cant be happy without that asshole and we keep looking for the most nonsense explanations or excuses just to think what we wanted to think.

Here's an excerpt from the movie:

"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope."

And i find that all very true. me and my friends applauded when the movie ended with that.

But the true lesson I learned from the movie is what the Alex guy says, "if a guy really wants to see you, he will make it happen" That means, he will call you, he will look for you, or in extreme cases appear outside your doow randomly when you less expected it to.

From now on, I will not sit in front of my phone waiting for the guy to call, nor keep opening my cellphone every 5 minutes to see if he called nor plant myself into him when he didnt even asked me in the first place. If a guy really likes me, he will have to show himself that he's worth my time and my attention. He's got to prove himself to me. Not by just those sweet lies of "oh sweetheart!" "i want you" "you are the most beautiful girl ever" ughhh LIES LIES LIESSSS and BULLCRAP! I need to see A-C-T-I-O-N!

I love how in the movie, that things work out in one way or another to most of the characters. Maybe one day things will work out for me in one way or another, like all the time. Maybe, there's still some hope for me out there...

Oh, Grandparents

I was just having a talk with couple of friends in the common room and we ended talking about how sweet and grandparents are. Like Robin's grandparents sent her a Hannah Montana valentine card for her, and they probably dont know who Hannah Montana is. Or her grandpa writing letters complaining about a pen and sent it back on the mail, and then he got like a big bag of pens.

The talk made me remember about my grandparents. On my dad's side, cuz i never really knew my grandparents from my mother's side. It brings me back a lot of memories when I was younger. I remember the times when:

- My grandpa would take me to the park all the time. we called it "ye-ye's park" (i also had "papi's park"). there was this very little cement hill i ALWAYS had to go to. i'd climb up and when i do i sing and swing around the pole.

- There was this little playground that was outside the park, in someone's house property. but regardless, my granda would take me on the swings there.

- My grandma told me this, and I have NO memory about this, that once I almost fell to the ground, but my grandpa put his hands around my head just in time to protect my head from hitting the ground. my grandpa got scratched.

- My grandma used to have a lot of food in the fridge, and when i came over, i would let her know which food i liked, and she would save it for each time i came over.

- My grandparents used to have a lot of colourful chicks on the backyard. I played with them a lot. Walking to the backyard was like walking to a whole new world for me, because the backyard had a lot of bamboo sticks, trees with flowers, rocks, and there was this magical trail where i can find the big turtle. there were also like three tanks of fish i remember liking to scoop them.

- My grandma gave me this a couple years ago, she handed me a piece of paper in which I probably made my first drawing ever. and she kept it for so long. now i think i lost it somewhere....

- Going to my grandparents house and i loved to sit on my grandpa's brown chair cuz it was the softest and big arm chair.

- Collecting oranges from the orange tree outside my grandparents house. dad used the big hook to grab the best oranges, i used it to grab the smallest and closest oranges.

- The front yard was kinda scary.

- I remember hearing something about cotton trees, so i stole a little bit of cotton from my grandma's room and made a whole in the front yard and try to plant a "cotton tree"..of course, that never happened.

- At the front of the house, there was a mailbox. I used to check it every ten minutes.

- There were three rooms in the house: one i never really went to cuz it was full of stuff. my grandma's big 'blue' room where she had a lot of sewing stuff and a big picture of her when she was younger, i thought she was beautiful. then my grandpa's 'brown' room, low lit, big bed i jumped on, and i liked to use his scotch tape.

- I found a dead bird in the front yard. my grandma burried right besides the orange tree and use its decomposing matter as a fertilizer. poor birdie.

- My friend Juan Ignacio met my grandpa once when he was living in an apartment. He said my grandpa had the coolest beard ever cuz if he geled it and braided it he would look like the guy from System of a Down

- My grandpa did karaoke and study session every thursday or something. all his friends knew me but i hardly ever remembered who they were.

- My grandpa used to take me to a stationary store close to the park, but we never really bought anything. I was just fascinated with all the toys. Except that one time my grandpa bought me a set of plastic tiny farm animal figures.

- They used to have two rabbits. one was "mine" and the other was my sister's.

- In kindergarden, my teachers gave me a chick to take care of. Because I couldnt keep it at home, I left my chick at my grandparents. It didnt last long cuz apparently a neighbour's cat ate it =(

- One day my grandpa took me on those little poor trains that went around the city. It was probably the happiest day at that time.

- At the house there was a head of a deer (probably fake) on the wall. and everytime me and my grandpa went out, we had to put hats on. I had my own, i think it was either yellow or red. or both.

- There was a mirror at the door. I remember i liked to look myself at it and make silly faces. That was probably the first time i became narcissist.

- When my grandpa died, my aunt cried A LOT. I told her, "you have no reason to cry. he is now in a much better place now, quiet, white, place with angels around, and he will always be there for you". and apparently those words calmed my aunt a lot and she couldnt stop thanking me for those kind words.

Brad 'Breathtaking' Doggett

I discovered a while ago this musician called Brad Doggett on youtube. He is really good with the guitar and singing. What I like about him is that he makes covers that I wouldn't even think you could make an acoustic version of. Songs like Say Isn't So by Weezer, Toxic by Britney Spears, My Love by Justin Timberlake, and many other videos. Go to his YouTube here or you can just look at this video below:



I became a fan of him on Facebook, and he added me as a friend. Of course I would accept his request! I wrote on his wall and he replied me today. Here's the proof!


He is doing a project with some other people, its called Earthone. Haven't really checked them out....cuz im more interested in Brad's solo projects. My, oh my! think you should check him out on Myspace

Oh, Brad, if only all the guys were like you.... <3

Pre-Valentine's

What if more guys were like the guys we see in the movie??

Why can't guys be more like Colin Firth, or Matthew McConaughey, or Hugh Grant, or Ewan McGregor, or Johnny Depp, and the list goes on...

Why isn't love like in Disney movies, where you are the princess and Prince Charming comes to you?

After watching a cute romantic comedy movie, I ask myself, if only my love life was that easy! The thing about them is that everything suits perfectly and everybody wins in the end. Life might have its ups and downs, but in the end, two cute people always end up together. Makes me wonder if my love of my life will come like that.

I have come up with couple of my favourite cutest scenes from movies. This is what I have so far:

Heath Ledger from 10 Things I Hate About You


Mark in Love Actually


Michael in Princess Diaries


Henry in 50 First Dates


Jack in Nightmare Before Christmas


Christian in Moulin Rouge


Landon in A Walk To Remember

I Want A Dog!!

I was sitting down by Vari Hall with my friend Nina today and there was this girl who walked in and stood a little bit besides us. She was carrying her doggy which was a white puppy. It was the cutest thing ever! She allowed me to pet the puppy and I was sooo friggin happy!! It totally made my day.

I SO cant wait to get a place of my own and have a dog. Which made me think, what kind of dog would I like to have? If residenced allowed me to have one, I would know by now! So I did a small research, and I have come up with certain types of dogs I would like.

First thing that comes into my mind, or whenever anybody ask me what kind of dog I would like, is the Golden Retriever


Although I think Beagles are Adorable!!! If you dont believe me just look at this:


However, one of my all time favourites Got to be, GOT TO BE, the Siberian husky:


But you know that Chihuahuas are always fun to play around with. Plus they are super cute with their big eyes. Mmmm Yo Quiero Taco Bell!



Yet, OH MY GAWD! Looking at a Cocker Spaniels makes my heart pound as high as the sun! I think they are the most adorable thing EVER! If it was legal to marry pets I would marry to a Cocker Spaniel.


And of course, my list would not be complete without including the Bulldog. Reminds me of the bulldog they have in the show Rob & Big. They are just sooo cute!

Stop - Spice Girls

You just walk in, I make you smile,
It's cool but you don't even know me,
You take an inch, I run a mile,
Can't win your always right behind me.

And we know that you could go and find some other,
Take or leave it or just don't even bother,
Caught in a craze, it's just a faze,
Or will this be around forever.


Don't you know it's going too fast,
Racing so hard you know it won't last,
Don't you know, why can't you see,
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're going.


Chorus:
Stop right now, thank you very much,
I need somebody with the human touch,
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun.


Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, (x3)
Always be together,
Ba, da, Ba, Ba, (x3)
Stay that way forever.


And we know that you could go and find some other,
Take or leave it cos we've always got each other,
You know who you are and yes, you're gonna breakdown,
You've crossed the line so you're gonna have to turnaround.


Don't you know it's going too fast,
Racing so hard you know it won't last,
Don't you know, why can't you see,
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're going.

Repeat Chorus

Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line,
Cos I don't care bout the money, don't go wasting my time,
You need less speed, get off my case,
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face.

Repeat Chorus x3

Stop right now, we wanna thank you, we wanna thank you,
Stop right now, thank you very much, thank you very much
