unforgettable movie lines (part 4)

this is the last batch... Ü

“I fell in love twice. First was with you. Second was the person you became when you’re already mine… Ü” ---Joey to Dawson, DAWSON'S CREEK

"Just so you know, the only thing I really want is to see him laugh again. You know, hear him sing off-key... watch him roll his eyes at me when I steal french fries off his plate. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm crazy for him." ---Brooke Davis, ONE TREE HILL

"if two people love each other, but just cant seem to put things together, when would that point be.. when one would say enough is enough? NEVER.." ---THE MEXICAN

"There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me, there are some love that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky to end up with that somebody who has a little of that insanity. Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever." --- Ally Mc Beal

"Don't you understand? That everything I do, I do for you? Anything that might be special in me... is you." ---GREAT EXPECTATIONS

"They give their hearts to each other unconditionally ... that's what true love really is. It's not this fairy tale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love." --Lucas Scott, ONE TREE HILL

"One day, you look at the person and see more than you did the day before, like a switch was flickered somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can imagine yourself with. " --- X-FILES (series)

"I feel like the best version of myself when i'm with you... and that makes me doubt everything else." ---KEEPING THE FAITH

Jamie: hey, lighten up!
Landon: This is not funny... Aren't you afraid of death?
Jaime: No... I'm not afraid of death... I'm afraid of not being with you..
--- A WALK TO REMEMBER

"Yeah, losing your heart’s desire is tragic. But gaining your heart’s desire... It’s all you can hope for. This year, I wished for love. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic… then give me tragedy. Because, I wouldn’t give it back for the world." --Peyton Sawyer, ONE TREE HILL

again drowning in mushiness... Ü

excursion and baptism

Excursion (n), is a trip by a group of people, usually made for leisure or educational purposes. It is often an adjunct to a longer journey or visit to a place, sometimes for other (typically work-related) purposes.

today, I attended my new god daughter's christening. her name is jamie denise franco, chiqui's new born daughter. i met etel pips first at sm fairview before going to the church. and just like the usual, our officemates who all came from quezon city, pasig and manila felt like going on an excursion because of the trip they had.. haha well, it's really not that far, i think they're just exaggerating!

the sky is quite gloomy, it's actually raining... hastle! luckily mr. ed fetched us at sm fairview. of course, there were lots of pictures taken... here are some:

unforgettable movie lines (part 3)

here's another batch... Ü

"When you love someone, And you love them with your heart, It never disappears when you're apart. When you love someone And you've done all you can do, You set them free. And if that love was true, when you love someone, it will all come back to you.." ---FORGET PARIS

"You cannot find true love where it does not truly exist. And you cannot hide it where it truly does." ---KISSING A FOOL

"Half my days i cannot bear not to touch you, the rest of the time i feel it doesn't matter if i ever see you again. It isn't the mortality, it is how much you can bear..." ---THE ENGLISH PATIENT

"Do you believe in love? I bet you don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Have you ever seen someone and you know that if only that person really know you, they'd dump the perfect model they were with and realize that you are the one they want to grow old with? have you ever fallen in love with someone you've never talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spent the night confusing a guy in a coma?" ---WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

"anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of your time. there are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them." ---A DREAM FOR AN INSOMNIAC

"Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, of what I did, of who I am. And most of all, I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you." ---DIRTY DANCING

"how can you assume to be friends with someone when all you think about when you look at him is how much more you really want?" ---joey, DAWSON 'S CREEK

sigh... this is part 3 of 4 entries...

one more to go... Ü

Dalja's Spring Addiction

I have just finished watching the KDrama Dalja's Spring which stars Chae Rim and Lee Min Ki yesterday. Well, what can I say? I'm not really fond of may-december love affair types of drama... but this was really something different. Never thought I'd be hooked... but I was! I loved the series so much, I was so addicted!!! I loved the humor and the story itself... now, it has been added to my most wanted KDramas and Lee Min Ki has earned another fan... it's me of course! Ü

...

This drama is about a 33-year old single since birth never been kissed career woman named Dalja. With time passing her by so quickly, she suddenly felt the pressure of settling down and building her own family. The problem is, she doesn't seem to have luck in finding her mr. right. She bumped into Taebong (Lee Min Ki) one night and hired him as her fake lover (or boyfriend so to say) to seek revenge on her flirtatious and playboy ex-boyfriend.

...

Dalja, being so naive and ignorant on dating, was tutored by Taebong. He was giving her hints, techniques and all the other things she should know about love. Surprisingly, her "spare tire" boyfriend-by-contract Taebong slowly developed feelings for her. These feelings grew deeper and deeper when they started living together in the same apartment (as Min Ki had no other place to go, he left his apartment because he needed money).

...

Here's a synopsis I got from www.hancinema.net which includes character descriptions:

...
Synopsis

...

‘Dalja’s Spring’ is the story of Dalja, a 33-year old single at a crossroad of whether to remain single or get married before she gets older. The drama aims to comically and candidly portray the reality and undying pursuit of romance of a thirty something single woman.

The love triangle of Dalja, Taebong and Gijoong brews conflicts over love versus marriage. Taebong, a hunk six years younger than Dalja, works as substitute dates and becomes Dalja’s fake boyfriend. Gijoong is the type who dreams of an ideal and rational courtship. The drama also highlights the life and work of women in their thirties through Dalja who is a talented managing director at a home shopping channel.

Actress Chae Rim plays 'Oh Dalja' while actor Lee Min-gi is 'Taebong,' who freelances as a substitute date and develops feelings for his last client Dalja. Lee Hyeon-woo will play 'Yeom Gijoong' and Gong Hyeong-jin is cast for 'Shin Sedo,' a free romantist and Dalja's ex. Actress Lee Hye-young plays ‘Wi Seon-joo,’ a 33-year-old home shopping show host with a brilliant sense in dating.

Casting

Chae Rim - Oh Dal-ja:
33-year-old promising home shopping channel managing director. She owns a house and a car thanks to a career driven life. She’s interested in men but is a disaster on real dates.

She hires a boyfriend by contract, Taebong, to seek revenge on Sedo.

36-year-old prospering businessman who heads an importing firm of foreign brand goods. He is polite and humble with reputable character. But he’s very possessive and hates to lose.

He is aghast at her elementary dating experience but grows attracted to her more and more.

Her skills shine in making Shin Sedo as her man.

Another thing I liked about the drama is that there were a lot of love quotes or should I say lessons you'll learn... below are some lines/quotes I got from the drama that gave me goosebumps... because they made me super kiliiiiig:

Dalja: How would i know if it's love?
SeonJoo: Simple. If he's the person that makes you smile... and the same person that makes you sad... the same person that makes you cry... and makes you wanna see him when he's not around...
...
Dalja: Why did you choose me?
Taebong: because... (became silent)
Dalja: There are many other girls who are younger and who are beautiful, why me?
Taebong: Because you're also beautiful. You're beautiful when you smile. You're beautiful when you cry. You're beautiful when you're sad. You're beautiful when you're mad. You're beautiful when you wake up, even though you haven't washed your face... even when you haven't combed your hair... you're beautiful...

Dalja: Happy bday! (prepared dinner and cake... after going from work to the hospital to visit a co-worker)
Taebong: You didn't have to do and prepare all these...
Dalja: Aren't you suppose to thank me instead? I had work and I went to the hospital before going to the supermarket to prepare all these...
Taebong: I said you didn't have to do this coz I know you're tired. I don't want you to be tired. You don't have to show me you're strong. I've known you form the start. I can be strong for you.
...
These and a lot more... there were a lot of lines, I just can't remember them all right now...

All I know is I love Lee Min Ki!!! I love his character so much! I love this independent guy who looks so tough on the outside but so warm hearted on the inside! I love this guy who's willing to give up his dream for the woman he loves. I love this guy who patiently waits no matter what. He just got the charm that kind of hypnotized me.. haha Ü ...

I give this drama a two-thumbs up! really a must-watch korean drama series! So kiliiiiiiiiiiiig!!!!! Ü

the bus

this is another article i got from the office... this is also nice so read on...

You know, LOVE is just like waiting for a bus. When the bus comes, you look at it and you say to yourself, "Eeeew, so full… cannot sit down. I’ll wait for the next one." So you let the bus go and waited for the second bus. Then the second bus came, you looked at it you say, "Eeeew, this bus is so old… so shabby!"

So you let the bus go and again, decided to wait for the next bus. After a while another bus came, it’s not crowded, not old but you said, "Eeeew, not air-conditioned… better wait for the next one". So again you let the bus go and decided to wait for the next bus. Then the sky started to get dark as it is getting late. You panicked and jumped immediately inside the next bus. It is not until much later that you found out that you had boarded the wrong bus!

So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you want! Even if an air-conditioned bus comes, you can’t ensure that the air-conditioned bus won’t break down or whether or not the airconditioner will be too cold for you. Wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it wouldn’t hurt to give other person a chance, right? If you find that the "bus" doesn’t suit you just press the red button and get off the bus (as simple as that)! Hey who said life is fair? The best thing to do is be observant and open while you scrutinize the bus. If it doesn’t suit you, get off. But you must always have an extra something which you could use for the next bus that comes. But wait. I’m sure you have this experience before. You saw a bus coming (the bus you want, of course) you flagged it but the driver acted as if he did not see you and zoomed pass you! It just wasn’t meant for you!

The bottom line is, being loved is like waiting for a bus you want. Getting on the bus and appreciating the bus by giving it a want. Getting on the bus and appreciating the bus by giving it a chance depends totally on you. If you haven’t made any choice, WALK! Walking is like being out of love. The good side of it is, you can still choose any bus you want. The rest who couldn’t afford another ride would just have to be content with the bus they rode on, ugly or not.

One more thing. Sometimes its better to choose a bus you are already familiar with rather than gamble with a bus that is unfamiliar to you. But then again, life wouldn’t be complete without the risks involved.

AND THERE IS ONE BUS THAT I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT - THE BUS THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR. IT WILL JUST STOP ON ITS OWN AND WILL ASK YOU TO COME INSIDE AND TAKE A FREE RIDE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding
back….

one long week

finally...

...

it really felt so weird that this past week seemed very very long for me... after freakin' out of how fast time seems to fly, the past week suddenly played in slowmo (as in "slow motion"). quite unbelievable, yeah.. and i tried refusing the idea because i've been used to my "fast track" view of life. astonishingly, everything seemed to pile up. i had so much in mind.. so much to do.. so much worries, basically my AHT and mailbox tasks.. so much plans.. so much stress.. but of course i can only do so much...

...

sigh... this is just one of the most stressful weeks i've had besides those i've been to since i became a mailbox officer... oh what have i done? my life just became more complicated than it was when i was just an agent... living care free and just minding my own stats...

...

i'm just so thankful that the week is finally over.. and hopefully my aht calculator will not fail me... well, it hasn't since i started using it. if i calculated right and everything falls into place, i'm saved... i really really hope and pray... coz if not, after everything i've done... i'd really feel sad and disappointed... but being the optimistic and jolly me, i'm keeping my hopes high and crossing my fingers crossed for several times until now... Ü

...

time to relax and spend my off watching my korean and taiwanese dvds that have piled on the rack... i'm just so excited, finally it's weekend and i'm free!!!
