Mr. 152 Insights Into My Soul

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in
You've Got Mail (1998)

"Don't cry shop girl... don't cry."



I cannot remember how many times I have watched this movie, and yet I never get tired of it. I don't know, but I just love everything about it. I even like it better than "Sleepless In Seattle". Starting with Tom Hanks, who has always been a remarkable actor, portraying the role of Joe Fox who is not your typical leading man. If anything, he could have passed for an average Joe. Nevertheless, his talent is unmistakable. Then there's the beautiful Meg Ryan, with her bright blue eyes and extraordinary smile, she IS the typical leading lady. Shot in stunning NYC, the movie offers nothing short of wonder.

The music. Ahh.. sweet music. Kind of puts me into the mood of nostalgia. The soundtrack includes "Dreams" by the Cranberries, "Anyone at all" by Carole King, Harry Nilsson's "The Puppy Song", "Remember", and my personal favorite, "Over The Rainbow". It just pulled everything together.

For some reason, yours truly was compelled to watch this film again. And so, I did. It was amazing. Seriously, what is up with me lately?

Abi's Mindless Ramblings

I had a long day.

After getting home from the hospital, I spent most of the afternoon learning "La Langue Francais" with my newest favorite person, Michel Thomas. Though I got thoroughly confused with all the "avez vous", the "voulez vous", and the "avec vous", it was "generalement" fun. And needless to say, I learned a lot. And I'm doing it again tomorrow for another session.

Which reminds me. Just assuming that he reads this. A shout out to my friend, Manu in France. Allo Manu!

Anyway, after the lesson, I went to the bank to pay Jeff's tuition fee. Then I paid the internet bill. Then, I went out looking for a beret that looks exactly like this, especially the the color, which is hot pink.


Unfortunately, I did not find one. I guess we don't sell berets in this country. I'll keep looking when I'm free. Saturday, maybe. However, I did find a really cute "bolero". It was so cheap, I bought two. One in black and one in bluish gray. The black one looked perfect with my black dress which I both wore to the party tonight.

I'm tired right now but I'm still totally pumped, so I am now spending my time writing this blog entry.

BTW, for the people who need clarification about the California application for the NCLEX-RN, please do not hesitate to ask me. I am always at your disposal. And it's FREE! :) Likewise, I also know a thing or two about the IELTS examination. I used to teach it. So, if you have questions, just fire away and I'll get to you as soon as I can and to the best of my knowledge.

Yashmin texted me the other day asking if I could accompany her to watch the movie "New Moon". I am not a big fan of this "Twilight Saga". One can even say that I hate it. But since I want to spend time with her, I said yes. we will go see the movie before this week is over.

I got to talk to Erika tonight, she was complaining that the Nurse Licensure Exam she took was nothing short of a "Nose Bleed". :) Erika if you're reading this, I believe that you passed that test. Don't worry. We'll celebrate in 2 months!

I think that's it. I'm going to lie down now.
Au revoir!

The Big Romantic Gesture...

Haaayy... I guess every girl dreams of the big romantic gesture from that special person. I wish that something like this happens to me. Yeah, yeah.. I know, as it turned out, I am just as big a hopeless romantic as anyone else. Sue me, okay! Anyway, I want this. I want to fall crazy in love with a guy. Someone who will sweep me off my feet, and love me back no matter what. And I don't want just any kind of love. I want the -- (and I quote a line from the movie ''It Takes Two") -- "I want the CAN'T EAT, CAN'T SLEEP, REACH FOR THE STARS, OVER THE MOON, WORLD SERIES kind of love." I WANT IT. The question is... where the hell is it? It already feels like I've waited forever. Ha! look at me, I am such a fool for love, I admit. It's crazy. I'M CRAZY!

I woke up early this morning, like 5:30AM, despite the lack of work for today. Then proceeded to doing my laundry. Then I cleaned my room. Now, I feel like I'm about to get sick.

Somehow, I managed to injure myself. I was about to wash the dishes when the knife fell to the ground and hit my foot. It's a small wound but it was bleeding for a couple of minutes.

A shout out to my friends Erika and Tin who are about to take the Nurse Licensure Exam tomorrow. I believe you guys will pass it. God Bless.

I still don't know what to wear for Nana Let's party on Wednesday.

If you're not the one...

Ikaw! Oo, IKAW... para sa'yo 'to!

I hated this song.
I don't know but I always thought it was too cheesy... until this morning.
It's so weird. I woke up and its lyrics are the first thing that came to my mind.

Abi's Mindless Ramblings

Today I watched the new episode of How I met Your Mother (Slapsgiving 2; The Revenge of the Slap) like 6 times because I can't get enough of it. It's so funny. I wish there's a new episode everyday. hahaha


On a completely unrelated note, I was at Facebook today minding my own business when suddenly something went horribly wrong. My curiosity got the better of me and now I ended up deeply hurt and on the verge of tears.


Anyway, this afternoon I was on a jeepney and I heard the song "Next thing you know" by Matthew West. I liked the song very much. It's about finding God.

Oh, and I'm still waiting for my next IVT completion schedule.
