This movie is just beauty in its purest form, the book was just as beautiful.
This movie was one of those films that it feels like my heart is crawling up my rib cage and into my mouth because the message just made me want to cry, it was so breathtaking that i just sat there and watched it a second time.
It made me realize how many people must relate to Charlie and his friends, and how less alone that can make you feel, knowing that there are so many people out there thinking the same thing i am, which is. I get that and I’m not alone.
I just think every struggling teen or adult even, should watch this movie and read this book.
I’ve never ever thought this before, but i can’t even compare the two together, there just so amazing that they can’t be dragged down by each other, and the beauty of it all cant be tarnished.
So if you’ve never read or watched perks of being a wallflower, piss off and go do that now.
this is my all time favorite movie..

The Mistress. (Movie Review)
Posted at 10:51 PM

Watched The Mistress yesterday. I don't like how it ended. But I do love the lines though. So tonight I will make a movie review about the movie.
The Mistress is a 2012 Philippine romantic melodrama film directed by Olivia Lamasan, starring Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz. This film also celebrates the 10th anniversary of John Lloyd and Bea's partnership as a love team.
Federico Torres, Jr. (John Lloyd Cruz) plays a Ferrari-driving coño kid/architect who has shallow affairs with (presumable) junior socialite types. One day he meets a lovely young woman named Sari (Bea Alonzo) who works for a small but thriving tailoring shop run by an old tailor (Tony Mabesa, whose voice and presence is utterly wasted as supporting cast) with irate clients (Gabe Mercado, who has the best lines in the movie) and cheeky employees (K Brosas is awesome). Despite her seemingly wholesome existence, Sari leads a secret life: she’s the mistress of a rich old man (Ronaldo Valdez) whose boozy wife (magnificent Hilda Korel) reveals to her son the name of his father’s mistress. It’s a tangled web, to be sure: full of complicated relationships and emotional baggage which is fodder for crying and flinging insults, lots of confrontations and more crying. Aside from the rather brilliant acting of the supporting characters (including a chubby child actor whose name escapes me, the leggy Carmi Martin, the vastly underrated Nor Domingo, and Anita Linda, who is truly a national treasure)—The Mistress is just another cheesy two hanky drama with a rather nice ending but a truly unfortunate dream wedding sequence. It is what it is.
I jotted down a couple of memorable lines from The Mistress. Check them out below.
Spoiler alert: If you're planning to watch the film, don't read further because some lines will spoil the story and interconnection among the characters.
“Di dahil gusto mo, makukuha mo! – Sari Alfonso (Bea Alonzo)”
“I’m getting tired of flirting with you. I like you, you like me. Ba’t nga ba di ko pwedeng makuha ang gusto ko? – JD Torres (John Lloyd Cruz)”
“This my dear is your gift to me. Don’t worry Rico, mas cheap ito kaysa sa balak mong iwan sa kabit mo. – Regina (Hilda Koronel)”
“Pwede ko ba syang gustuhin? – Sari Alfonso (Bea Alonzo)”
“No because I bet you, I’m a damn better lover. – JD Torres (John Lloyd Cruz)”
“Walang babaeng pinangarap maging kabit! – Sari Alfonso (Bea Alonzo)”
“Layuan mo ang asawa ko, tagalog yan para maintindihan mo! – Regina (Hilda Koronel)”
“As long as I am alive, you will never be promoted to wife.”
“Ang daming dahilan para hindi kita mahalin. Pero may isang dahilan para ‘di ko magawa yun. Mahal kita. Yun lang yun.”
“Anong karapatan mo, kabit ka lang!”
"Tapusin mo na para hindi ka masaktan."
"I can't. When I married him, for better or for worse... I love him."
“He keeps on doing that to you because you keep on forgiving him.”
“Alam mo kung ano ang kaya kong gawin na hindi kaya ng Mr. Thursday mo. Kaya kitang pakasalan. Sa akin, wala kang kahati.”
"Sari. Finally. Isang linggo ko rin pinag-isipan ang pangalan mo. Gusto mong magkape? Kasi ako, gusto kong magkape kasama ka."
"Have I told you how much I hate Thursdays?"
"It's Thursday. It's the day of the week that hurts me... He is with her every Thursday, every fuckin' Thursday fuckin' her."
"So the next time you call her a whore, I'm going to hurt you so bad so you can't say those words again. Ever."
"Yes, I am Mrs. Torres, the wife and the mother of the two men willing to kill each other for this bitch."
One of the most dramatic confrontation scenes from the movie.
JD: Do you love me?
Sari: Oo, pero
JD: Sari
Sari: Hindi ko iiwan si Rico
JD: Bakit hindi mo siya maiwan?
Sari: Umalis ka na
JD: Is it the money?
Sari: Mukha bang pera ang habol ko sa kanya?
JD: Kundi pera ano? Sex?
Sari: Kung oo. Titigilan mo na ba ako?
JD: No! Because I bet you. I'm a damn better lover.
Sari: Tama na!
JD: You enjoy being some old man’s dirty little secret ganoon ba?
Sari: Walang babaeng pinangarap maging kabit.
JD: Then get out.
Sari: Mahal ko siya.
"Eh kasi, hindi ako madaling mahalin."
"You know I don't like that woman. I hate her."
"I'm not giving up. Have coffee with me."
"Makukuha ko dahil gusto ko. Gusto ko talaga."
"My gosh. You are so beautiful."
"Because you deserve someone better."
"Because you know, if you want it, you can have it back."
"Another gold digging queen? Who's your newest whore?"
"Rules? Ganun ba talaga relationship niyo? Covered by rules?"
"I'm not expecting you to say it back. Gusto ko lang maramdaman mo na mahal kita."
"Yung Thursday na finally sasabihin mong gusto mo ako maging Mr. Everyday."
"I cannot share you with any man."
"Are you falling in love with me?"
"Oo. Limang taon. Limang taon na kuntento lang ako sa kung anong meron kami ni Rico. 'Di ako nagreklamo. 'Di ako naghanap... Tapos dumating ka. Nagsimula akong magtanong."
"Hindi mo malalaman na may kulang hanggang walang darating na mag-pupuno."
"Horrible. Shameful little secret."
"If only you will let me. If only you will choose me."
"Paulit-ulit kitang nasaktan. Pero you know I love you."
"But I also know I'm never enough."
"Maybe that is the reason why I have to die para hindi na kita masaktan."
"Kung mabuhay man ako ulit, I'll make sure I'll never hurt you again."
"Siguro sa kunwari nalang natin pwedeng mahalin ang isa't-isa."
"Gusto kong maniwala na he died a happy man. He wasn't perfect but he was a good man."
So that’s just it for now! I know I can share more after watching the film And by the way, it takes a lot of effort to compile all these so give credits and have fun sharing.

“I vow to fiercely love you, in all your forms, now and forever...” -Channing Tatum.
A love story inspired by true events. In theaters Valentine's Weekend.
Paige and Leo (Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum) are a happy newlywed couple whose lives are changed by a car accident that puts Paige in a coma. Waking up with severe memory loss, Paige has no memory of Leo, a confusing relationship with her parents (Sam Neill and Jessica Lange), and an ex-fiancé (Scott Speedman) she may still have feelings for. Despite these complications, Leo endeavors to win her heart again and rebuild their marriage.
I just can't wait to see this movie with baby! Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams = perfect match! Just so you know, I'm an avid fan of Channing and Rachel. As well as Amanda Seyfried. Just saying.

The Vow.

The movie poster itself is so lovely! ♥
The Vow is certainly one of the movies I’m dying to see this 2012, alongside movies like The Hunger Games, The Dark Knight, The Avengers and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
I just firmly believe that Channing and Rachel looks so perfect in this movie. Ever since I saw Dear John and The Notebook, I’ve always wanted for them to do a movie together, and when I saw the trailer, there are definitely no words to describe the exhilaration and the ecstasy I felt.
Eeeeeeee! I really can’t wait for February! I will storm inside the theaters the very first day it opens here in the Philippines!

The Parent Trap (1998 film)
Posted at 3:31 PM

I miss watching The Parent Trap. My all time favorite movie when I was a kid. And oh, I love Lindsay Lohan and Ms. Natasha Richardson.
The Parent Trap (1998) is a remake of the 1961 family film of the same name. It was directed and co-written by Nancy Meyers, and produced and co-written by Charles Shyer. It stars Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson as a couple who divorce soon after marrying, and Lindsay Lohan in a dual role as their twin daughters, who are accidentally reunited after being separated at birth. Both films are based on Erich Kästner's novel Lottie and Lisa (Das Doppelte Lottchen). The novel and the 1936 Deanna Durbin film Three Smart Girls are the basis of the screenplay written by David Swift for the 1961 and 1998 film, only the novel is credited however. Meyers and Shyer are credited as co-writers of the 1998 version along with Swift.
Plot
Nick Parker (Quaid) and Elizabeth James (Richardson) met and married each other during an ocean cruise on the QE2. Elizabeth gave birth to twin daughters Hallie and Annie (both played by Lohan), but the couple divorced and lost contact with each other, each parent raising one of the twins without telling her about her sister. Nick raised Hallie in the Napa Valley and became a wealthy wine grower, while Elizabeth raised Annie in London and became a famous wedding gown designer.
After the ocean cruise and onboard wedding ceremony, the story jumps ahead to a summer in which Nick and Elizabeth coincidentally enroll their daughters in the same summer camp in Maine. Annie and Hallie, who are now eleven years old, first meet at the end of a fencing match, when they remove their masks and see that they look alike. A comical hostility between the two girls leads to a prank war that ends when the camp counselors fall into one of Hallie's traps and isolate the twins from the other girls.
Living together, Hallie and Annie discover that they were born on the same day and they each have half of a torn wedding photograph of their parents. Realizing with delight that they are twins, the girls hatch a plan to meet their previously unknown parents: Each girl will train her twin to impersonate her, and they will switch places at the end of the summer.
When camp is over, the plan succeeds: Hallie goes to London, where she meets her mother, her grandfather, and the James family's butler Martin (Kunz). Annie goes to California, where she meets her father, the Parker family's housekeeper Chessy (Walter), their dog Sammy, and Nick's young, opportunistic fiancée Meredith (Hendrix), who is only interested in Nick's money. Distressed by Meredith's deviousness, Annie telephones Hallie and persuades her to bring Elizabeth to California to break up the engagement. Soon the girls' identities are discovered, and, except for Nick and Meredith, who remain unaware of the switch, their newfound family members tearfully welcome them.
In order to bring Nick and Elizabeth together, Annie, Hallie, Grandpa, Chessy, and Martin conspire to have them meet at a hotel in San Francisco by arranging for Nick to meet Meredith's parents and by not telling Elizabeth about Meredith. Nervous about meeting Nick, Elizabeth asks Martin to accompany her and Hallie. After a few comical mixups in the hotel, Nick and Elizabeth see each other, Nick finally learns about the switch, and the twins host a candlelit dinner for Nick and Elizabeth, served by Martin and Chessy, on a yacht decorated to recreate their first meeting. At dinner, Elizabeth mentions that Nick did not follow her after she left him, and Nick responds that he was not sure if Elizabeth would want him to. They make plans for the twins to spend holidays together, but decide against resuming their relationship.
Hallie and Annie dislike this idea, so they force their parents to take them camping by refusing to reveal which twin is which. After Elizabeth persuades Nick and the girls to take Meredith instead of herself, the twins play tricks on Meredith, who becomes enraged and insists that Nick choose between her and his daughters. Nick chooses the twins, and Meredith breaks off the engagement.
After Meredith leaves, Nick shows Elizabeth his wine collection, which includes the wine they drank at their wedding. Elizabeth is touched by this gesture at first, but has a change of heart and returns to London with Annie. However, when Elizabeth and Annie get home, they find Hallie and Nick waiting for them, having flown there on the Concorde. Elizabeth is fearful of remarrying, but she yields to Nick's confidence, and Annie and Hallie look on happily as Nick and Elizabeth embrace. The final credits feature photographs of Nick and Elizabeth's second wedding, also aboard the QE2, with the twins as bridesmaids, and Martin presenting Chessy with an engagement ring.
