Little Miss Sunshine

I was searching for a movie to watch because the commercial in FOX is starting to irritate me when im watching. So, I decided to go ahead and download "Little Miss Sunshine" since I don't have anything to do tonight. I'm not trying to become a movie critic or what not in here. I just really like the moral lesson about family value in the movie (GOd I miss my family so much *sob*), the plot is not as fancy as other movie, the story line is very original though. Here are some of the award recognition last 2006. I put the trailer here so you can have a glimpse of the movie...

My insights about the book im currently reading



It's 1:47 AM and still finding my self writing something about the book I'm currently reading shared by good friend of mine. I am actually in the middle of reading this book "Peaceful Warrior" from Dan Millman, and for those of you wondering why I am writing something when I haven't finished reading it yet. The answer is, I watched the movie already, yeah!,yeah!,yeah! I know it's kinda absurd watching novel based film when you are in the middle of reading it, but I can't help my self encouraging everyone to read the book or perhaps watch the movie, if your not into reading. The movie doesn't use the profound words on the book as a script, I guess the writer decided to make it easy to grasp. Imagine me reading some of the profoud nose bleeding phrases trice just to get the gist of it and internalize it. I'll soon post all my learning from the book, I just hope I'm not gonna be that oblivious from the thoughts to ponder :-P... So far let me share this OST video from the movie "Peaceful Warrior" for those who wanted a copy I can share mine :-P

Pag puno na ang salop...

Ako'y laki sa probinsya meaning ang mga tao samin inde sosyal walang "K" maginarte kaya di ako sanay siguro sa mga sosyal at ibang level ng kaartehan... i.e.

1. Madudumihan ang kotse dapat pag bumaba linisin ito specially kung nakikisakay ka lang..Dahandahan sa pagbukas ng kotse syepmpre nakikisakay ka lang..kulang nalang Wag pindutin ang pwedeng pindutin..

2. Pag aircon ang room wag maghubad ng sapatos kasi ang baho daw ng paa ko specially pag sosyal lang ang nakakaamoy dapat ispray ko ng konti ang perfume ko para mawala ang amoy

3. Wag basain ang sahig ng cr kadiri daw tsaka pag tumae ako tapos sya ang kasunud kadiri daw ang baho

4. Paghinatid ka galing sa long trip dahil pagod sya ibaba ka sa kanto lang which take note pwede naman iandar ng konti kasi kawawa naman ako ang dami kong dala...

5. Pag nag kamali ka ng instruction mag dadabog sa manubela na parang ikaw ang pinaka idiot na tao sa mundo...

Hindi ako mareklamong tao...Kahit kelan inde ako nag rereklamo sa mga sosyal inarte klasmeyt ko nung college at previous office mates...Pero pag napupuno ka pala di madaling makalimot sa lahat lahat... Siguro dapat cowboy lang lagi kasama ko parati yung tipong pwede kang umutut sa tabi nila ang effect ay mag tatawanan lang kayo... kasi pag inde baka maging BP ko ay 200/200.
