It's actually Braces (dental braces).. but zombies tend to pronounce it as "BRASHESH", yeah.. just for fun I guess. We'd intentionally pronounce words the wrong way , especially those that comes with an "S". For example, instead of saying YES, it'd be YESH.. We're that silly you know. Well we, zombies, do have a world of our own-- Zombieland as we call it. Yes it's ours, and it will always be ours-- The Spectres.
Anyways, my post isn't about the zombies or the zombieland.. It's about an x-zombie. My superman. Yeah, this afternoon I saw him... now with Dental Braces, and the funny part is... we have the same rubber color (blue). So I called my dentist just this afternoon and immediately made an appointment for my next dental visit.
Okay.. I'm out of line once again.. it should be about him, right? So yeah, I saw him again. This time, it doesn't feel awkward anymore. He brought us to the foodcourt and bought us Cornetto (the five of us). Because he won this certain contest.. What contest? I don't know.. I just don't want to ask further. I'm afraid he'll assume the other way around. I'm moving on.. at least I'm trying to do so. So please, back off. I'm the one whose trying to forget here. Not you. So please, not now.

MEETING IN A WHILE
Zombie mode? Hmmm. Not yet. Wait until this coming weekend, cramming weekend to be specific. Zombies will be out to eat their own brains for they will be thinking a lot.. I mean A LOT. From the concepts, to layout to final editing. Gahh! Can we make it in a week?? Can we be able to survive and surpass this "challenge"? Can we produce on time? Arrrgh. I don't know.
Okay, gotta go now. Meeting time. XD Wish us luck.
Pray for the Zombies.

ACADEMY AWARDS
And the Oscar goes to...
been hearing that for the past few days during advertisement breaks while watching some silly soap operas. So I decided to watch the replay this night, plus the fact that it was hosted by my Hollywood idol, Anne Hathaway with James Franco. Loved her since her Princess Diaries days. Since then I'm starting to keep track of her movies and some are my favorites like: Ella Enchanted, The Devil Wears Prada, Bride Wars, Valentines Day and Alice in the Wonderland. I wanted to watch her latest movie, Love and Other Drugs... but, as I have said in my other post, I'm broke at the moment. NO CASH. :( So I guess I should wait and I hope it will still be showing in the movies this week.. or else, I'm gonna patronize pirated DVDs once again. XD Okay, Enough about her..
So yeah, as I've mentioned.. I'm currently watching The 83rd Academy Awards through ABS-CBN's Sunday's Best. I'm not a film buff..I just liked few movies and honestly I only love one genre- ROMANCE. Err. I'm afraid I cannot finish this rant anymore...
Dead. The monster's here.
Ooooh. Look who's talking. Shut up!

Online Job
I was thinking of applying for an online job.. because I badly need cash for my summer classes. I cannot rely to my parents' money at all times. I want to do something for myself wherein I can feel my worth. So yeah, is there anyone from you, guys, who could give me a good suggestion for an online job? Even if it's just a part time job.. it would be okay.
At least I can have extra cash for my self and not ask some money from my parents anymore. :) Please.. Thank you. ^_^

My Childhood Crush
I don't know why I suddenly remember some stuffs from my childhood.. like the "cute" guys I used to go gaga over with.
When I was five, I already have a crush. At that early age I was able to appreciate God's gift to women I guess. XD Anyways, while I was going over the "Most Recent" posts in Facebook. I saw him, and made me wonder.. from guy, to gay, then back to being a guy again? Sounds confusing.. eh?
I liked him before because he was cute.. it was during Flores De Mayo when I first got the chance to meet him. They were actually three in the group. Their very own version of the three musketeers. We got along so well.. we were in the same barkada eventually.. then someone told me that he's gay. And it's pretty obvious that's he's a SHE not a HE. Okay, major turn off.
The Ultimate Gift
Just last night, I have no plans of watching any movie until a group of people introduce this certain movie to me.. "The Ultimate Gift" starring Drew Fuller as Jason Stevens, James Gardner as Red Stevens, Ali Hillis as Alexia, and Abigail Breslin as Emily.
The story revolved around the happy-go-lucky, rich kid named Jason. When his rich grandfather Howard "Red" Stevens died, he thought he could inherit a piece of the old man's multi-billion business.. but it came with some conditions. In order to get his share of the inheritance, he must complete 12 separate challenges within 12 months, at the end of each challenge awaits a gift.. and at the end of the 12 challenges, lies the Ultimate Gift that was promised to him through his grandfather's will.
The 12 Ultimate Gifts
- Gift of Work
- He was sent to Texas for his first challenge. He worked in a ranch. At first, he was not used to the life in the ranch.. but as days passed by, he finally embraced it.
"Appreciation and Satisfaction come from earning something.. Leisure is only enjoyable when you earn it."

- Gift of Money
- After working in Texas, everything he values was taken away from him- luxury apartment, car and MONEY. His girlfriend, Caitlin dumped him after his credit card was rejected at a fancy restaurant and asked her to pay the bills.
Days after, he finally received his first pay check worth 1500 dollars. He thought that was it.. Mr. Hamilton asked him how he's gonna make use of the money.. but when he discovered Emily's condition and Alixia hasn't paid her daughter's hospital bills that's worth 1600 dollars, he gave the money to the inspector who's been spying him and asked him to pay the bills. But the inspector said, he is a hundred dollar short... so in order for him to come up with the total of 1600, he began to find ways just to have the 100 dollars.
"Money is simply a tool.. not a goal"

- Gift of Friends
- While strolling in the park, he met Emily and Alixia. He asked them if they can be his friend.. and if they are willing to go with him to the firm just to confirm the FRIENDSHIP. But after that, he left them.. So Emily and Alixia was disappointed and they thought that Jason is just one self-centered guy and not anyone they want to have as a friend. But later on, Jason discovered by accident that Emily is suffering from leukemia, and sees her as a chance to bond with someone and later on develops a good relationship with them.

- Gift of Learning
- In the video of his grandfather he asked him, "Do you truly know how to learn?" Then he was sent to Ecuador at the Steven's Library. He discovers that the books in the library are so old that the people in that village are waiting for new books which will be delivered by him, supposedly. So he fixed the books, brought new books and finally learned about the truth behind his father's death. He went to the place where his father died even though he was warned that no one gets out of that place alive. They were held as hostages of the rebels residing there and was set to be killed the day after Christmas. But during Christmas, the rebels were drunk after celebrating the holiday and that became the opportunity for him to run away from those rebels and finally returned to America.

"Faith can make our dreams realities."
