One Tree Hill: Sometimes, all you need is ONE

Did you go through the One Tree Hill frenzy as well?

Aside from having the best soundtrack, thanks to Peyton's character, One Tree Hill also has one of the most insightful scripts. In fact, there are so many quotable quotes sprinkled throughout the seasons.

Dream for an Insomniac: Mad, Passionate, Extraordinary Love

When I was back in college, I was looking through old org files and I saw a particular speech that really struck me. It talked about how our love for going to area (apostolate areas) should be like mad and passionate love. Even though we will look crazy and irrational among our friends, we'll still go to area because we simply love doing so. Rain or shine, despite getting caught in traffic or struggling to have time for academics, we'll still go to area because of sheer love. 


This speaker quoted a particular line from the old movie, "Dream for an Insomniac"

"Shall We Dance" on Marriage: We Need A Witness To Our Lives

One of the things that suck about graduating is missing out on Philosophy and Theology classes. I miss those classes! Seriously. 

Anyway, I suddenly remembered one of my favorite Philosophy 102 classes. I loved how my professor integrated Philosophy with songs (ex. Time after Time), movies (ex. The Gods Must Be Crazy) and TV series (ex. House) in order for us to have a better grasp of our lessons. There was one particular lesson that really struck me - it was about witnessing. This was the lesson where she quoted the Susan Sarandon, Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez movie, "Shall We Dance"

Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything

I was with a dear Jesuit friend yesterday. :) I really like hanging out with Jesuits since they have a lot of inspiring stories to share. He's assigned as a chaplain in a public hospital so he's confronted with deaths everyday. However, there are several glimpses of hope as well in the hospital. I'll share some of these sweet real life stories some other time.

The Danny and Annie Love Story: Love at a Time of Cancer

My friend Fid posted another great video clip on Facebook, "Danny and Annie."

It's a short clip about the love story of two couples: from their very first date, their marriage and until they died. 


It moved me to tears. Maybe I'm really such a crybaby. It's such an awww video clip but really sad as well. I want to share it with you guys. This is the kind of love that really amazes me.

The Bonding Food Magic of Steamed Crabs!

Just got back from a six day trip in Aklan! Six days in Aklan = six days of crabs in every meal! YUUUUM!

Before going to the airport for our flight back to Manila, we had hearty lunch at my Tito's place - crabs, panga ng tuna, grilled chicken, ginataang manok (chicken) and my cousin's chopsuey! I had such a great lunch that I was the last one to finish eating. I only had to stop eating because we already had to go to the airport. Haha! I eat too much :P

Before heading to the airport, my Tita urged me to bring home the remaining crabs on the table so that I could share a piece of my Aklan trip with RJ. Awwww.. my Tita's so sweet :) 

Say it, right then, out loud

When I woke up this morning, I suddenly remembered one of the killer lines from the movie, "My Best Friend's Wedding": 

Michael O'Neill: Kimmy says if you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment just... 
Julianne Potter: Passes you by... 
Michael O'Neill: Passes you by... 

Right Place, Right Time

You can give a person the usual chocolates, stuffed toys, mugs, neckties or whatever and make it special. You just have to give it at the right place and at the right time. 


For our anniversary, RJ gave me a huge bouquet of roses. I've received roses before but I think this is the most special bouquet I have ever received. :)

One Tree Hill: The only thing wrong with love and faith and belief is not having it.

Haley: [To Lucas] You know that romantic notion that all the garbage and the pain is really healing and beautiful and sort of poetic? It’s not. It’s just garbage and it’s pain. You know what’s better? Love. The day that you start thinking that love is...

Date Night: I choose you, every time.

Phil: No, not tonight…us, you, me, the kids…all of it. I’d do it again. I choose you, every time.

—Date Night ♥♥♥

This movie just hits home. I love how it talks about how hard couples try to keep the romance alive in their relationships... Read more on this post at www.everydaysweetnotes.COM!
