Old Traditions, New Standards

The year 2010 for me was a year full of unexpectedness. Getting to know a number of people and welcoming them as they become an integral part of my life, as others have bid farewell as they go into transformation and head another path.

A great number of valuable lessons of life have been learned through different methods from here and there. All these, I am grateful of despite the downside that I had to face. All lead however to a fruitful experience in which I was able start applying to the rest of my coming days.

A person who was included greatly into my life is my girlfriend, Ging.

Yiheeee! Lol But yeah, this 2010  would be way different without her. I would have made it through but as a different person.

Never Let Me Go: Review

Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go is a story revolving around three friends who have been together since they met in school in their childhood. It goes on following their lives to their adulthood. It is a very touching movie that dwells highly on the concept of living or being alive.

I have not read the book, though I highly look forward to, I can say that it is quite a story. With how the lives of people come together and create a beginning, fall apart and again reunite. As the plot unfolds, it will lead you to surprises that you won't see coming. It indeed has left me awed.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone as it is one great movie.

My Dog Tulip: A Review

Aside from my reading, I currently keep my self busy with watching movies and My Dog Tulip is just one of a few. I promise to try and not spoil anything if you haven't seen the movie. If you have you would know what I will be talking about.

Animated movies about dogs are easily spotted here and there, mostly targeting the younger generation as an audience. Not this movie. It takes a lot of patience and understanding with a whole lot of maturity to watch the movie. With scenes and languages found in the movie, it strongly suggest that one understands between the lines before running into any conclusion. However, it is easy to understand beyond that. The narrative flow is easy on the eyes and easy to follow. The animation is also quite amusing with how it was done.

It is under my list of those great movies to watch on a cold weather. With such a story of a man and his dog companion its uniqueness will bring warmth to you in a different way.Watching this movie is a definite must, especially if you are a dog lover.

Heart to Heart

Right when I came home from the North, Ging and I went out. Cheesy and corny it may be to you, we missed each other that much. I brought her pasalubong from Baguio such as the strawberries. She gave me this book as a present. It consists of poems inspired by paintings and/or vice-versa. I have looked through some of them and there are those pretty interesting ones and those really great ones. The paintings/illustrations are quite good too. A painting by Andy Warhol was translated into a poem and became one of my favorites in the collection. The way it was made gave me a laugh. I could also get ideas for my writing here.

Dinelli Gourmet: Baguio

Baguio's Dinelli, together with other stores, is located on Camp John Hay's 'Filling Station'. 

 They serve salads, sausages, bread and a lot more.

For beverages, they serve coffee but also sell wine and maybe other alcoholic drinks for their customers to
take home.

I had their frankfurter when I was there and it tasted great as well as it looks. It would be one of the places to remember and return to. It is worth it and I look forward into seeing another branch to taste their other products. It really had that american feel because of the size of the hot dog, though I think they have it bigger where they are, but it gave out more taste than one would expect.

You can visit their website to see and know more about them.http://dinelli.ph/
