Circle of Trust

I watched Killers with my sister last night. I am not going to blab about how hot and gorgeous Ashton Kutcher is - my Facebook and Twitter accounts are doing that for me. This is what the movie is about - people (read: their friends) are going to kill Jen's (Heigl) husband (Kutcher), who by the way is an ex-assassin, to get that $20,000,000 bounty on his head. All those hours running from their friends [who were trying to kill them] made me realize something: Your family is the only people you can trust completely. I mean, even their closest friends are hunting them! Note: I don't think the movie is really about this and I have no idea how I have come to think this way. I won't spoil the movie in case you're planning to watch it.

It made me realize that one must be careful who he tells things to. People will kill you if they see $20,000,000 on your head. Those closest to you, they know when you are on your most vulnerable situation. And those people who care only about their happiness, they will never hesitate to hurt you if such an act will be of advantage to them. This doesn't mean you have to shut yourself from people outside your family. You just have to choose what and what not to tell them.

I remember my dad telling me something he told one of my sisters way back when I still believed in Santa Claus. He told my sister that he doesn't have a best friend and that best friends are for children. Well he said he does have a best friend, best friends actually - my sisters, my mom. But there's one lesson he taught my sister, and me: Never throw away friends because you might need them someday. He was probably referring to business purposes. You know what, that has got to be the hardest lesson he taught me. Maybe because he forgot to mention one important detail: Keep them but reduce your care meter don't allow them to hurt you again.

Families - you don't even have to tell them what and what not to tell. They won't give you the cold shoulder out of the blue. Sure they will misinterpret you and judge you like any other person but you know that they will never ever leave. They allow you to make mistakes; they give you infinitely many last chances.

Speaking of family, I got to spend some time with my sisters today, yay! I missed having someone to squeal with while watching Glee. My sisters and I are hardcore FinChel fans. Too bad Inna left this afternoon and Ate Ange has to go tonight although we're planning to delay her with a bag of rambutan. I'm planning to have a big stock of movies to watch the next time we're all home. With popcorn. And more Cheetos next time.

Meanwhile, here's a tribute to my family who feeds me and pays for my expenses even if I still haven't settled my INC last summer. Sana mabigay na 'yung grade ko.

Frozen Yogurt and 3D Glasses

I have decided to blog about things that happen everyday. I got tired of waiting for something grand to happen and then blogging about it. I mean, why not make every day grand and blog about it? I know that it's highly impossible but I guess blogging on weekends will do no harm to tight schedules. Instead of refreshing Facebook and Twitter over and over after my weekly movie, why not blog? So here.

I am a big fan of Harry Potter but I am not here to talk about its pure awesomeness. My Tumblr says it all anyway. I mean, who doesn't know about the boy who lived and the boy who loved?

I watched the movie twice; the first one was on its premiere night at SM North Edsa with Taters popcorn and rootbeer. Taters popcorn is the best. And ohmigodwatchingitonitspremierenightwithallthefansissobeautiful. The second time was at Alabang Town Center with my mom, my dad, and my two other sisters. My third sister, well, she's rarely home. I hoped she was there with us to witness the magnificent story come to an end. And to enjoy a bowl of frozen yogurt which Ate Tek paid for.

Doesn't Ate Tek look so blissful?

That's my bowl of yogurt. I can't remember what's it's called but it has cookies and almonds and white chocolates and so much yumminess.

Too bad I don't have a picture of my dad wearing 3D glasses, he looked cute and weird at the same time. Haha.

Marie Had A Little Lamb

Remember I promised to show you turkey and sheep photos? Well there's bad news and there's good news. The bad news is no turkey egg hatched. I really don't know what happened but Dad said that he saw one of the hens pecking the eggs and gobbling its contents. Anyway, the good news is we now have a lamb, yay! We were just so surprised one day that one of the ewes gave birth to a cute lamb. You remember those books you used to read when you were little? Those with pictures of little white lambs? Well, I have to say that you weren't fooled. You see, when we were little, we were made to believe about a lot of things that don't happen in the real world. But the cute, little, white lambs were real, I tell you. This is coming from one who has not seen a lamb before.

Isn't Cottonball adorable? I named the lamb.

Up there is the first turkey egg we saw and yeah, we've grown a mutated carrot.
