the time traveler's wife by audrey niffenegger

I just finished the book by Audrey Niffenegger few minutes ago. I admit I first became aware of the book when the movie based from it came out...I red praises for the book. Sad to say, I wasn't able to catch the film adaptation at the cinema so I have to wait for the vcd/dvd release sometime soon. I like the book but I'm not yet decided if I will buy a copy for myself. I like the so many twists in Henry DeTamble and Clare Abshire's lives...their friendship that blossomed into something deeper...and how the author tells their story. The movie stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams and I want to watch it to know if it did justice to the best-selling novel. Here are the image of the author and the movie poster.

stephen gately died

A-WHAT?! I'm sorry to hear that one of the members of my favourite boy band of the 1990s, Boyzone, died last October 10 while vacationing in Mallorca and most likely by this time he's already buried. I just red the news today and it's more of an aftermath news about someone who's making a bad publicity about the cause of Gately's death and...ahh, never mind! Gately died at the age of 33 due to fluid in the lungs. Due to fluid in the lungs? Hydrothorax?

new moon movie companion book

Yah, I know...I know! All of the Twilight fans are now so excited with the upcoming movie of the saga which will be shown next month. And even my sister Ruthie is not an exemption...I'm a fan too and will definitely grab a movie ticket as soon as possible...but she's a bigger fan. And because she's practically drooling over the The Twilight Saga New Moon The Official Illustrated Movie Companion book by Mark Cotta Vaz (whew! such a long title for a 141-paged book) that I was showing to her through webcam...I dedicate this post to her. I haven't had the time to read the book yet but I will, soon. I love the images inside and from what I saw the book is about how New Moon movie was made...it's like a behind the scene book which I will love for sure because I'm the-behind-the-scene-of-the-movie-and-book-or-whatever-kind of girl, if you know what I mean, haha! So, for my loving sister here are some images and as I've promised more Edward and Bella because I know you are a member of Team Edward! Good thing I go for Team Jacob, so there's really no conflict. This post goes also to Jenefer 'Tot'...a vampire in the making. Enjoy girls!

happy birthday mamu!

It's a very special day for our family today because we are celebrating the 61st birthday of my Mom! I really get emotional when I think of my Mom...I always remember all the hardships she went through (together with my Dad) just to give me and my three siblings decent lives. She taught us so many things about life...what I am today I partly owe to her. Thanks Mamu Carmen for everything! May our Father continue to bless you with good health and happiness and may He add more days to your life so that we can still continue to show you how much we love you everyday of our lives. I LOVE YOU MAMU...WE LOVE YOU!

donations for ondoy's victims

Donations for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy are greatly appreciated. Countries like China, Japan, Singapore and US and as well as UN agencies raised funds for the relief work. In Hong Kong alone, two NGO's are committing to help more typhoon victims. World Vision ( initially committed HK$ 390,000) and The Salvation Army posted ads in newspapers asking for help to help the victims. Donation methods are through banks (ATM transfer or direct bank-in), credit cards, crossed cheques and even by 7-11. On behalf of my countrymen, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
