Avatar!!

FULL SYNOPSIS:
A paraplegic ex-marine finds a new life on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a war veteran who gets called to the depths of space to pick up the job of his slain twin brother for the scientific arm of a megacorporation looking to mine the planet of Pandora for a valued ore. Unfortunately the biggest deposit of the prized substance lies underneath the home of the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall, blue-skinned native tribe who have been at war with the security arm of the company, lead by Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Because of the planet's hostile atmosphere, humans have genetically grown half-alien/half-human bodies which they can jack their consciousnesses into and explore the world in. Since Jake's brother already had an incredibly expensive Avatar grown for him, he's able to connect with it using the same DNA code and experience first-hand the joys of Pandora while giving the scientific team, led by Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore), some well-needed protection against the planet's more hostile forces.

On a chance meeting after getting separated from his team, Jake's Avatar is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a Na'vi princess, who brings him into her tribe in order to give the humans a second chance at relating to this new environment. When word gets out of his increasing time with the alien species, Quaritch enlists Jake to do some reconnaissance for the company, as they'd like to persuade the tribe to move their home before taking more drastic measures to harness the treasure hidden below. Yet as Jake becomes one with the tribe and begins to understand the secrets of Pandora, his conscience is torn between his new adopted world and the wheelchair-bound one awaiting him when the psychic connection to his Avatar is broken. Soon battle lines are drawn and Jake needs to decide which side he will fight on when the time comes. The film was shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and offers a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual-effects house supervises Avatar's complex special effects.

Remember me this way

Remember me this way
Jordan Hill

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

* I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Hmm... this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more apart of time, you're everywhere
I'll always cares
(Repeat *)

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
(Repeat *)

It really makes me wonder why there are people who just leave you hanging on.... when you think that everything is perfect and right then one day you'll wake up and it's slapped in your face that those "perfect" things you've thought of are all gone... and even the memory of it has been flushed away.... without reasons. without goodbyes. i guess it's the same feeling being invited by someone to an adventure with them... along the journey... you start trusting them fully-- laugh with them, cry with them, pour out your darkest secrets... and then in a blink of an eye you'd realize that you are now finishing the adventure alone... then you never hear from them anymore.... without hearing reasons. without hearing goodbyes. its hard to get it over with at first. you deny. can either get mad or be more patient with them. try to understand them.... but then... i think, there are just people who leave you then and there... i am not mad at those people... it's just that, they leave questions that i know will just be kept within those who are left behind... and aside from being left alone, they are the ones who get hurt in the situation.... dont you find it painful that there were days that you wake up thinking about someone who makes you happy every single day... then the next day, you'll never find them.. without reason. without goodbyes. just locked up inside your thoughts.. along with all the questions, reasons, that you badly want to hear.... i was left hanging... was i? no reasons. no goodbyes.

I JUST MISSED MY BEST FRIEND :(

When i was a dancer

I used to be a dancer!

I started dancing at the age of 4 when i was chosen to perform a calisthenics dance with my brother. I joined competitions through out my childhood and I loved every minute of it. The costumes, the performances, the workshops and the spotlight. I studied ballet at the age of 5 but attended 4 seassions LoL... But I studied predominately hip hop, ballroom dances and ethnic dances in elementary. Thanks to my Auntie for her overwhelming support and for believing in my talents despite my parents disapproval.
It's been 5 years since the last time i danced and i kinda missed dancing like hell!. Few days agoI and my mom were cleaning our old cabinet and we saw my old costumes that i used. It was nice to know that even though they ( my parents) were never there in every competition that i joined they still value and respect my passion and i was touched when my mom told me that she wished to see me wear those little costumes of mine on stage.. ha ha ha...
I know i'm a bit cheezy. it was just so unusual... I and my mom talking about cheezy thing was way sooooooooooooo unusual. but i'm happy :)

I wish i can dance again... the way i danced when i was young... just wishing*

4 steps on mending a broken heart

Do you ever wonder why it hurts so much when love is lost?

The art of romance is to give your heart without fear. When it breaks, you become lost with only pieces that remain. It’s a journey of rediscovery and reassembly, as your hands bleed with each piece.


To mend a broken heart is a process of healing, while emotional wounds are akin to physical. Some say it’s best to keep busy, but at the end, the hurt remains. Rid the poisons that linger, instead of using a temporary fix. It’s about standing tall, even when the world crumbles before your eyes.

Step One

Cut all forms of communication. It gives a sense of connection, and getting over requires its removal.

Rid yourself from physical memories, items that were significant.

Take drastic measures because you have to be ruthless in determination. Make it an instinct by doing what’s necessary without involving your mind with consequences that don’t exist.

This is disownment. If the phone rings, hang up. If again, do the same. No matter how many times, hang up, or even better, block. Block all known e-mail addresses as well. If you receive e-mails from another account, delete them immediately, emptying the trash altogether and so on. This also goes for online communities. If they come through snail mail, burn without opening.

You have to take action without giving yourself the chance to think.

Step Two

Think logically. Instead of listening to your heart, listen to your mind. Find reasons and make the choice to believe them. Write them down.

Deny yourself the hope that lingers with the logical reasons you’ve found and listed. Use them to refocus your hopes.

Stop trying. Choose, because choices are set in stone. There’s a lot less room to back out.

Time helps nothing. It only provides opportunities to prioritize. What we choose to do with it makes all the difference.

Step Three

If you’re unable to eat or sleep, acknowledge the difference between inability and unwillingness. Force yourself to take care of basic needs.

Take food as you would medication. If you’re eating too much, portion meals and get rid of junk. If you can’t sleep, close your eyes. If you’re not concentrating, think later.

Don’t give yourself the luxury of self-pity.

Step Four

Let yourself cry. Understand it’s simply another way to express feelings and emotions that overflow. Do anything possible to express yourself, through tears, writing, music, etc. Remember the importance of faith.

Remember that crying isn’t a sign of weakness. Letting your heart out is a crucial step. Why not hurt once and for all and be done with it, instead of continuously?

Talk to friends and family. Allow them to be your support system. There’s no shame in asking for help.

Provide yourself the unturned love. However much it hurts, you’ll always remain your own best friend. It’s your responsibility to take initiative.

I know that the bridges that I've burned along the way have left me with these walls and these scars that won't go away and opening up.. It always been a hardest thing.....

Happy New Year!

It felt like I was just entering another year with a bright, energetic and full of resolution ready to be fulfilled. Now it’s Santa’s turn to be busy making his list and me also with my how-did-i-finish-another-year list. Hmm, I guess it is done and now it’s time to move on to another page of myself and stepping into another realm of life level. It’s sweet, bitter, dark yet adventurous this remarkable year.
Well, all we want is something happy for ourselves, our family, our love story to turned out to be okay and yes, pocket full of ching-ka-ching. I made some happen this year, some went bad and disturbing, but most of them made a good mixture of my life story. If I read my blog, most of them filled with stories of desperation, courage of being tortured and fragile single soul afraid to be left out alone in the big jungle. Years to come will be more mature and self reliant, more powerful to fight them, brave to spit on your faces and say no to what I really don’t like doing. Sounds harsh, but as a tree grow tall, it will grow stronger and harder. Maybe I can’t put aside my melodrama-personality; at least I can make this pathetic life more interesting with dramatic point of view.
I really can see the difference I made throughout the years, People lie to me; they throw away the true meaning of love, and meaningless but painful words by those people least expected. So I start to build the firewall against the world outside, It was me with full anger capacity, cold against every people try to reach in. But somehow deep inside, I was lonely and more hurt than before, damage by my own ego and self-denial though i had friends and i know they were always there but my self built firewall controlled me.
Then, I was introduce to a world of relationship, full of ridiculous dreams and hope of long lasting love until the day that I die. I promised dro that I will try once more to walk on the yellow brick road leading to sunshine and beautiful shores. didn’t trust him at first, well how could I? I could even trust myself. Bit by bit, I feel something was different about me, after I cool myself down for a while. I start to loosen up and feel the life I’m living.
My point is, I change myself like no one can do it. The lesson I learn wasn’t easy and cute, but meaningful turning me to be stronger to face another year. Yeah, life always has its own way to protect us somehow. Between the barb wires and open wounds, we can always find hands that will heal us and at least make the pain go away.

All I can say is: Be crazy, be happy, be fun with yourself coz it’s your life after all!
