My Sister's Keeper

We watched this movie this morning. It was nice, though, I was a little disappointed with the ending and the development of some of the characters. I read this book when I was in second year, my sister's friend loaned it to her. Strange how nurses like to read medically related books. Well the book was awesome, as much as a tearjerker as the movie.
The differences are these:

1. Jesse burned buildings to the ground- he does not wallow in self pity all the time. He did drugs and drove a Jeep around. He is not dyslexic.
   
2. Anna is pretty much the same as she was in the book, but get this, she DIED.
3. Kate did not die she lived on because Ana, even though she won in court, still gave her her kidney.

To those who would like to know the original ending you could read it here.
Ana was the one who revealed why she was suing her parents in the first place. Jesse wasn't even there. After all the revealations everything was going good. Ana and her lawyer (Campbell)
left together after the hearing was done. It was raining at the time and a car hit them. Ana's father, a fireman, was at the scene. They rushed both of them to the hospital. Everyone was there. Sara, her mom, was frantic when she saw Ana's body. Campbell was okay but Ana was not, she was far from it. Ana was brain dead. Her father held her mom saying what made Ana, Ana, wasn't there anymore. So in the end Ana did give her kidney to kate, and kate survived the operation. The family wasn't okay afterwards, not because Kate died, but because Ana died. What made it worse was the fact that if kate died it would have been expected, but when Ana died, healthy Ana, it wasn't.

The movie's good even though it wasn't by the book because it's still inspireing. It still speaks of the lessons that are hard to learn but sooner or later learned anyway. Letting go isn't easy but we should think of the people who want us to let go. Even if it hurts a lot to do so we shouldn't be selfish and just think of ourselves.

Funny Guy

My cousin is back!!!

My Family ate out last night to celebrate. It suck that I wasn't there but I'm really glad that my cousin's back here. This morning we talked and it kind of reminded me of talking to a psychiatrist, though I'm not really sure who's the psychiatrist, me, or him? Well, maybe it just goes to show what I might be in the future.

Fridays and Cafes

7 days of nothing but homework and studying totally suck. As much as I like doing some of the things I do in school, as much as I know I should be really happy and appreciative of this blessings, I can't help feel a little down and defeated after every week. Try going through a week of continuous bombarding of knowledge and feel fine and dandy. A good book, food and two days of sleeping in in the morning usually cure me when it comes to these school blues. But one thing that I really love and look forward to every week or so is Friday outings. It isn't anything grand and expensive, basically it's walking a lot, looking at a lot of books and DVDs, and eating at some restaurant (KFC). This would really be boring if I just did this on my own but with my friends it's a happy joyride out of a sad and suckish day. Today we did the usual things but we learned and checked out a new hit spot. Actually two (but the other one is pretty well known all ready so it doesn't really count), the Mooon Cafe, and Book Latte Cafe. I would've really liked to check these cafes out but it was all ready dark by the time we went out. So that adventure would have to be for another day. I won't forget about it though. I love school, I really do, but if I have to be really honest it wouldn't be so great if I didn't have my friends.
GOAL: Membership at Book Latte Cafe!

Waiting Bride.

There's a bridge called "Covert's Crossing" or "Covert's Bridge" up in New Castle. A young couple had gotten married on Halloween. Around midnight, they were riding in a horse drawn carriage across the bridge at the same time a car was. The bridge was only one lane, so by the time they saw each other it was too late. Story has it that they crashed and the hubcap of the car flew off, decapitating the bride. The police never found her head or the body of the groom. Its been said that if you sit on the bridge on Halloween night around midnight, you can see the headless bride standing on some rocks in the river. However they don't know if she is looking for her head or her lost love. Submitted by Courtnie

Toy Story 3

My brother and I watched Toy Story 3 last weekend, I didn't expect the movie to be sad and in truth it really wasn't, it was just really touching. I used to have a lot of toys when i was a little girl, my cousin and I shared drawers and a large box of toys. I loved those toys a lot, we used to play with them everyday. I remember the day that signaled the end of my toy-playing days.It was when my uncle brought home a young and adorable dog. Every afternoon instead of playing with my toys I trained my new dog to sit and to do some other stuff. A couple of years later I found out that the school librarian wasn't so mean or scary after all, I started to read a lot after that. All of those thing happened When I was about 7 or 8 yrs. old. After awhile I grew up even more and I forgot where those toys went, or the fact that they were even there. I appreciated those toys very much and I understand how Andy felt at the end of the film, I wouldn't want to give my toys to anyone, I guess that shows how selfish I was and probably still am. We should learn to appreciate the things we have because they all have a purpose in our life. no matter how long or brief we may need them in the long run.

Classically Modern

I know that not all of us may love classical music or even like instrumental music. I also know a solution that will solve that problem. My cousin introduced to me this Quartet that did tributes to all the great bands of today, creating their songs into masterpieces with their violins. Please take time to listen to their work because you might not know, you'll end up loving it

Another embarrassing experience

You ever had that experience where you think of something bad happening and then you do every thing to avoid it, but even if you've secured yourself of the improbability of it happening it actually happens! (yeah... [-_-])

Every Friday however I'm always undecided because I hate going home early when it's not going to be a school night, it makes me feel like I'm throwing away an opportunity. An opportunity to have FUN.

Sooo.... I stayed later than usual at school, spending some time at the library, waiting for my friends from the homeroom club to come back from Greenwich (the pizza place), the one in Gaisano. When they did arrive however I abandoned the idea of going to Robinsons, it was pretty late by then. I decided to buy large fries from Mcdonald's for consolation instead. I boarded a jeepney and was well on way my way home. You may be wondering by now what's embarrassing in any of this, or, how could anything I've wrote so far be of any relevance to what I've said earlier. Well, here it is.

I hate dangling food while I'm in a jeepney, it makes me feel a little inconsiderate because no one else is eating anything. My bag was already bulging from all the things I've stuffed in it but I'd rather carry books than food. I, along with some friends, was ambushed once by a group of street children. It was a traumatic experience. Not Really.
I took out the book I was reading for my English book report, interesting book though I'm not halfway done with it. With the available space I stuffed my fries. So far so good, I kept the book in my sight and in my reach. When I was out f the jeepney, and when it was already driving away, I realized something so very horrible. I did NOT know where my book was. I panicked and I had to stop the jeepney. De ja vu, much. I had to ask over and over again if the book was anywhere in the spot I seated. They said "No it's not here" (in Ilonggo), and I said, "are you sure? Can you look again?" and finally I said Okay because they were so ure it wasn't there anymore. Thats was a mortifying time for me and even more motifying when i found out my book was in my hand the WHOLE time.

Lesson Learned:
Always check your hands when in search for a missing object before alerting other people.
