Yesterday, Mark and I watched (500) Days of Summer. The movie was good, there were a lot of parts that gave me a good laugh. I also got amazed at seeing a song-and-dance-number in a foreign movie, which is very common to Filipino films. In the middle part of the movie though, I started to get mad at Summer. She was cute, funny, and all, but that didn't stop me from hating her! Well fine, I just hate how she just left Tom all confused and clueless.

Maybe I just got used to stories wherein a guy breaks a girl's heart (for so many reasons, most of which are very lame) and I know, this is what usually happens even in real life. But everything was turned upside down in this movie. It was the girl who broke the guy's heart. Though Summer insisted that she's not interested in being serious, I think she should have just said no from the start. But what she did just gave Tom some hope that's why he still chose to ignore everything that Summer said as he falls for her.

I know, right? I should have just believed in what the narrator told a few seconds after the movie started--"..this is not a love story." But being the hopeless romantic me, I just took the warning lightly and still hoped for a happy ending haha!

After watching the movie, Mark and I agreed at how Summer got us confused, how sorry we felt for Tom, and how the movie got our feelings changed from being happy to being in love to being sad in an instant. But we both liked how the movie made us realize a lot of things.

I must admit that I love the moral lesson of the story. I also admired Tom's bravery of taking the risk even if he doesn't know where it may lead. He hoped for a happy ending (well doesn't, right?) but he was brave enough to let go of everything that wasn't meant for him.

I believe that we should be like Tom. Instead of being angry at people who hurt us, we should be thankful to them. Because the very person that caused us pain might also be the very person who will make us know ourselves more and will make us realize everything that we never thought we are capable of doing.

The very person who gave us all the heartaches that we could ever imagine might also be the one who will make us a better person.

The very person who left us all alone and got us all confused might also be the very person who will lead us to a love that we truly deserve.

My mom already started putting up Christmas decors in our home in as early as September. And being the thoughtful mom that she is, she would always buy extra decors for my office desk.

Every morning before I go to work, she would always remind me of bringing the decors but because I'm always in a hurry, I would always forget about it. Until finally I was able to bring them this morning, good thing my mom placed it in my bag. :)

She bought a mini Christmas tree and Santa Clause candles/figurines. (Sorry for the poor pic quality, I just used the cam of my P900 phone. ;p)

I also have a snowman candle/figurine, which unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture of, because my phone went off. I forgot to bring my charger! (Oh forgetful me! haha!)

It's been a while since I last shopped online. I got so hooked into online shopping about a year ago. I remember spending around seven thousand pesos on 2 bags that I bought online. :p

I said to myself that I should take it easy in shopping online, well shopping in general I must say, but what can I do? I'm only human, I've got weaknesses, and Hello Kitty is one of them! Haha! I really can't resist the charm of this adorable little feline. So here's another cute addition to my Hello Kitty collection! :)
