Jovit Baldivino – The Next Big Thing

Post created on May 7, 2010 by Reesie under Personal · 5 Comments » 

This is yet another amazing and jaw-dropping performance of Jovit Baldivino.  The natural talent of this kid is indescribable. I believe he’d go far beyond he could ever imagine. He also need to choose the right kind of people he wants to associate with to reach success. Humility is also needed.

I disagree with Kris Aquino when she said that Jovit should keep his old style. He looks better than ever with his new style. Love the hair and although I kinda hate his jacket but sure it looks way better than the polo. ;-) Agree or Disagree?

New Screenplay Need Help!

Post created on April 28, 2010 by Reesie under Friends, Movies · 2 Comments » 

My friend, Tim Fitzharris, director of the feature film, A Far Away Life is writing/researching a new screenplay for his next film, also set in the Philippines. It is to be titled Long Way from Texas and features a Filipina singer with a talent for American C & W music. Anyway, he is looking for interesting real life incidents that are especially Pinoy. They may be funny, tragic, sad, or simply amazing. Incidents connected to country life in general, cock fighting, petty thievery, prostitution, life on the road, panhandling and camping outdoors are all welcome. If you can, tell your story in English ‘cus he can’t understand Filipino.

If parts of your story are used, you get priority for being selected as a paid extra or paid bit actor when he shoots the film.
Thank you so much in advance! XOXO

Holding Hands While Skating

My JLC and I had nothing in common in terms of hobbies or interests. He is an outdoor-kind-of-a-man while I am an indoor-kind-of-a-woman. Hehe. He loves to jog/walk while I just want to stay inside the house and play with my computer. He wanted to start into biking but he never had a chance for he always caught up with his work.  He wanted me to tag along and  there’s no way I could bike with him. I had hoped that he would fall in love with photography but he has zero interest on it. I could not just drag him around, follow me like a dog, while I am shooting. On a second thought, I can actually do it but I am not that mean-spirited. Hehe. I want him to enjoy as well.

So we started listing on things/activities that we could do together..something he or I could fell in love with. Well, shopping is not included in the list of course although we both love it but we don’t want to end up living in food stamps. LOL. We do love going to the movies, but that doesn’t create bonding time. We want something where we can bond and work out at the same time.., a sport. He loves basketball but hell, could you picture me dribbling a ball?

Then one day he bought PSP3. Well, it’s not a sport but at least it’s something that we could do together. We were hooked for a few days at first but our momentum (mine particularly) died down.  So again, weekends were back to being boooring.

Then one day, isang araw, we were watching a figure skating contest. I believe it was a US prequalification for the Winter Olympics.  We were just mesmerized by how those kids skated effortlessly. And then we both realized that we never ever tried skating before. It’s a shameful realization for we are in a place where winter is really white. ;-)

So the next weekend, we went to a local ice rink and the rest is, shall we say,  history. We were hooked. We both love it. I am thinking of enrolling myself to a figure skating class while he’s thinking of doing the hockey class. Both have the same schedule and are using the same rink for the classes.  Now, we’ve been going to the rink every single week HHWS – Holding Hands While Skating. Charotz!

We never plan to be really serious about it unless if there’s a slight chance that I could be the next Kim Yu-Na or he could be the next best hockey player out there or Apollo Ohno perhaps. Who are we kidding?!  LOL.

 We are just happy that finally we found something that we both love. I guess it is also important in a relationship  to have an activity that both partners share the same interest with. It really can tighten the bond. Don’t ya think?!

Springtime! Yay! Allergy?! Nay!

Post created on April 12, 2010 by Reesie under Chika Galore, Photography, Travel · 6 Comments » 

I’ve been feeling rather uninspired lately which explains my  lack of post, I apologize for that.

Spring is finally here. The weather is really gorgeous these days – not too warm and not too cold – just perfect! However, there’s one thing I despise most about Spring and that is the allergy it brings. The pollen from trees (Pinon) are making people sick – sneezing, clogged-up/running nose, sore eyes etc. Unfortunately, I am one of these people. I’ve been following pollen allergy forecast  (yes, there is such a thing) and my place has been high since April 1 which explains my sleepless nights for days now. I’ve been taking anti-allergy but the medication is making me feel tired and lousy. I know my predicament is not as bad as I think it is compared to other people out there suffering from fatal illnesses but you know, I am just sharing. I just hope that this goes away soon. This is the worst allergy season. Last year wasn’t so bad at all.

I wish I am in Japan right now. They have the best and gorgeous  Spring season of all. Look at this photo taken by my friend from Japan via his blog.

Now I don’t mind allergies as long as my surrounding is as beautiful as this!But that’s not the case…… :-(

Hope you guys are well. ;-)

Last weekend it snowed and I was hoping that it would be the last for this winter. I was so wrong. There’ll be more snow coming tonight and over the last few days. Grrr.

Anyway, I took these photos  thinking it would be my last chance to capture that so called snow.

Took all these photos from our place. Now you might ask, how can I not love snow given the beauty that comes with it? I don’t hate snow but I despise the cold that goes with it plus the danger of the road after it. I wish it snows in the tropics, it would be very nice!!
