An exhausting way to end the day...

     Last night was one hell of a night. I still can't believe what we went through just to get home. It was damn exhausting!

     We left the office at 5, when we got to UN Avenue, we came upon flooded streets along Taft Avenue, and of course when theres flood in Manila expect traffic my dear. Short heavy rain, flood, immobilized traffic...it's a given already. But it was not just the ordinary traffic, it was extreme traffic. Public transport was literally at its worst that time, bumper to bumper, and "walang galawan" just what everybody clamors. Number of commuters started to build up, "lakad mode" na ang lahat just to find a ride home. With my officemate, me and son walked from UN Avenue to Quirino Avenue hoping na makasakay, but sadly and frustrated as we were, still we weren't able to. It's raining, my feet is soaked and wet already, my back is in pain, and the worst thing and really broke my heart is the fact that my little man is complaining from exhaustion, he was deeply irritated and weary. 

     Finally at Quirino Avenue, while waiting less patiently, the only jeepney to cubao came along kaya sumakay na kami even if it's out of our way. We just wanted to get the hell out of Taft Avenue that very moment, plus the fact that our feet was aching bad from a long walk that we just badly needed to have a sit. Huge volume of vehicles and commuters as well we're stranded along Taft Avenue, some patiently waiting and the others were obviously frustrated and irritated with the situation. Vehicles were still paralized, parang pagong kung umusad. The jeepney dropped us at Welcome Rotonda and the same scene awaits us. All bus, fx, taxi, and Jeepneys were full, commuters were on the streets already. It was almost 11 when we spotted a bust going to sm fairview, and it was 12 midnight that we were able to get home, finally.

EAT PRAY LOVE. A journey to self discovery.

     Just after lunch, and after i tucked my li'l man for a nap finally i have seen Eat Pray Love, watched it without any disturbance.  

     Eat Pray Love is a story about a  woman who literally seemed to have everything in life but still feels unhappy, having the feeling of not knowing what she want's in life. With that, she takes herself into a journey to self discovery across Italy, India, and Bali in search for pleasure, inner peace and balance, and to discover what it is that will finally complete her life.

     I enjoyed watching Eat Pray Love, got my mind filled with beautiful thoughts and inspiration about life. Another great movie to watch for those who haven't.

     By the way, i've listed down some of the interesting lines from the movie.

The only thing impossible in staying is leaving.

If you wanted to know how to be here, then stop constantly waiting for something.

The only thing permanent in life is family.

The sweetness of doing nothing.

Just let it be.

Bites'll go away, eventually everything goes away.

First rule in India, never touch anything but yourself.

So love me, So miss me, send me love like every time you think of me then drop it. It won't last forever, nothing does.

God dwells in you, as you.

(Rambutan) it's like orange made love to a plum.

We must take care of our family wherever we find them.

When you set out in the world to help yourself, sometimes you end up helping Tutti.
(Tutti - Italian word for everybody)

Sometimes to lose balance for love is part of living well in life. - Katut

One of a kind, mind blowing movie ever...

     After seeing the movie at home, i was kinda frustrated cause i wasn't able to watch it in the big screen. But still i'm thankful to have watched it already.

     It was quite confusing at first, but as i went along with the story my attention started to focused on the story. Inception is a complicated movie yet one of the best movies I've seen. And If you just put your full attention and intense concentration, you'll be able to understand and appreciate the story of the movie.

     To create and manipulate a dream within a dream is way beyond my imagination. Just imagine you could construct somebody else's dream and actually insert an idea to a person so that the said person will make a decision that will benefit those who hired you to do so, a brilliant scheme right. But to plot the perfect scheme requires people with brilliant minds like the Extractor, the Architect, the Chemist and the Forger. 

     I believe the author created a story unlike any other story, extraordinary story.  For those who have not seen it yet, i highly suggest you to watch it or you'll miss one amazing movie/story ever.
