Hachi
Posted by: Leina on: August 13, 2009
This just broke my heart.
Hachi is an Akita owned by a Japanese Professor. Every morning, he would watch his master leave for work from the front door, then wait for him at the train station when he comes home. One night, the professor was not on the train–he had suffered a stroke and never made it home.
For 10 years, Hachi continued to wait for him, every night at the train station, until his own death.
This dog’s loyalty amazes me. I’m watching this movie, even if it means I’ll be crying my eyes out in the moviehouse. Trailer pa lang, naiiyak na ko, hehehe.
You can watch the English trailer here.

Today I feel, unnaturally calm. And lonely.
Darling, are we hitting the highway soon?
MJ

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. My dad and aunties were huge fans. I remember them renting VHS tapes of Michael Jackson’s videos and concerts and us watching it while munching on chips.
I remember being creeped out by Thriller and Smooth Criminal, loving Billy Jean, and singing along to Black or White.
Even my little brother and sister, who were both born years after MJ was swarmed with controversies, loved the King of Pop. They’d watch the DVD of his MTVs every morning. At 8am, our TV would be blaring songs like Beat It, Remember The Time, and Heal The World.

I LOVE Photobooths, but this one’s the best of them all.

No explanation needed. LOL-ing at you, though.
Remember Darla?
Posted by: Leina on: June 5, 2009
I loved Darla in “The Little Rascals” movie. She was the love interest of Alfalfa. I find her sooo adorable and sweet looking. 
The girl who played the part is Brittany Ashton Holmes. When the movie was released in 1994, she was only five years old. I did some web surfing, wondering how she looks now.
Going Up? :)

Ever since we saw the flying house tied to balloons almost a year ago, the boyfriend and I have anticipated Disney-Pixar’s movie, Up. We even planned to push our trip to Alaminos by a few hours so we can watch the first screening on May 29. Much to our dismay, the movie was released all over the world, but not here. WTF.
Carl Fredricksen tied hundreds of balloons to his house to make it fly to South America, a promise he made to his late wife Ellie.
When we came back from the province, we were both dying to watch the movie. Especially because some friends have raved about seeing it online already. Thanks to pirated DVDs, we got to watch it. Hee. Malabo, pero pwede na. That’s how addicted we are to the movie.
The verdict? The movie was excellent. Our long wait was worth it.
10 Realizations during a 4-day Vacayshun

We left for Alaminos last Friday and came back this Tuesday. I brought home some Alaminos longganisa, plenty of photos and these thoughts.
10. When everyone is speaking in Pangalatok around you, and you can’t understand a single word, you can’t help but feel a bit out of place. And out of sorts. The boyfriend cheered me up and told me not to feel bad. Anyway if things work out, I might end up speaking (or, at least, understanding) the language. LOL.
If things work out, I'll understand everything they talk about. Hee.
9. Caloy looked so darn cute when he was a kid. I’ll post pictures as soon as I get my hands on them, har har!
Why I love the rain

Kung ikaw yan at ang crushness mo, mamahalin mo rin ang ulan. LOL. 
So, hello rainy season.
