Ex With Benefits (A Realization..)

OMG!  The hopeless romantic in me strikes again!!!  Hopeless, that is!!!

While I was randomly browsing through youtube videos a while ago, I came across with Ex With Benefits movie.  I got curious as I remember my officemate talking about it few years ago but I could not recall exactly what she was saying.  I thought it was just another boring movie, so I kept hitting the forward button not until I realized that Adam (played by Derek Ramsay) must have been so much in love with Arkisha (portrayed by Coleen Garcia) after all those lost years.  That got me!  As you may be all aware of, men like Adam, who are unconsciously faithful, are hard to find in this material world.  Perhaps they are already on the brink of extinction?!?!

This movie reminds me of my two favorite movies - "An Affair to Remember" and "The Notebook".  At least in a world of make-believe, Adam, Nikkie, and Noah do exist... :(    

I have a Youtube Channel!!!

This is a long overdue post, but nonetheless, read on:

I may be a nobody but it doesn't mean I do not have the right to own a Youtube channel.  It's free, isn't it?!

Well, I would not have bothered to create one had it not that my 1 terabyte portable drive finally gave up on me!  Modesty aside, year 2017 gave me so much out-of-country travel opportunities (the most ever since! 9 countries and 24 cities!) to document for.  And on those travels, I opted to take more videos over still photographs.  My phone's and camera's respective memory cards complained, hence, I was forced to transfer the data to my portable drive.  But then, my portable drive was already loaded with e-copy of movies and tv series (which, by the way, remained unwatched, to date).  So, I thought of the Youtube videos.. why not?!

As much as I would have wanted my videos to be at least presentable to the prying eyes of the viewers, I could not do so.  You see, my uploaded videos are RAW, meaning, enhancements were limited only to adding background music and some subtitles.  But even that, I could barely compel myself to do so due to time and effort constraints.  Hence, I should prepare myself for the vulnerability of my channel to the harsh words of the self-proclaimed-but-not-practicing perfectionists a.k.a bashers.  But no, I'm too busy to spend time preparing on and dealing with nonsense issues.

In other words, I don't give a damn!  Oops! Happy new year! ;)

I knew you were there..

For the past few months I had been grieving for the loss of my mama (and still am..) while dealing with a mryiad of workload.  And now that I am halfway done, I've been spending my weekends taking a break including watching movies in the comforts of my home sweet home.  Then I came across with an article posted in Facebook that had something to do about 10 best romantic movies.  When I checked, the movie entitled, "An Affair to Remember" was not even there!  Albeit my other favorite romantic film, "The Notebook" was listed in the article but it just didn't seem right that the movie of one of my most adored actresses, Annette Bening, wasn't!  (By the way, we have the same birthday!)

I'm sure I have a copy of the original version of the movie but I don't like it as much as I do with the 1994 version.  Since I was too lazy to check my external drive and watch again the entire film, I just settled for 3-5-minute unforgettable scenes in You Tube (why don't they just post the full movie so I can watch it?!).  And mind you, I've been watching the final scene for countless times already while writing this post!

Goin' Loco Over Bruno

I've been playing this music video everytime I go online.  It's a shame though that I don't get to have a youtube access at the office. Guess, I'll just have to make use of the youtube downloader. :(

I don't know if this is an old music video.  I just happened to watch it only last Monday, August 15, 2011, while I was having breakfast at the office cafeteria.  Since then, I've been hooked to it.  That makes me, officially, an instant fan of Bruno Mars. ;)
