I love water. It has been my habit to play with water when I was still a child and a sight of an aquarium comforts me. Anyways, moving on, I searched online to know how come I love water and here's what I found.

Water people are the most caring. They symbolize kindness and compassion. Water people are born to love and nurse. They are amazingly sympathetic. Water occupies 70% of the surface of the planet. Water always gets its way and it’s more an evolution than a revolution, collusion rather than a force. Water people are rarely driven to put the material aspects before human considerations. Even a person, whose element is not primarily water, will put on weight if he or she develops a deeply humanitarian philosophy.

If it is time to deepen your human touch, to bring deeper loving values to your family, or to learn how to nurture and care for yourself, find a water person to guide you. By nature, Water people are patient, tolerant, peaceful, friendly and altruistic; also loyal, considerate and compassionate.

Globally the element water protects the innocent, defends the rights of children, protects and stops the forest from annihilation. Water is universal bonding, a peace loving element that will go to great lengths to protect the human aspect throughout.

The Water person, who chooses to stay in balance in his or her element, will surround themselves with

·         Plenty of opportunity to care for others.
·         Constant connection with friends and family, who are the essence of Water people’s life
·         Rigorous and regular low impact exercises and sports
·          Love – lots of tenderness and feelings.

·          Respect for the real world issues of being on time (early for appointments) and predictability.

Water Predominant people don’t always make good business managers but do make great people careers like human resources and nursing. They are ideal in environments where people need to care about themselves and others.

All things have a little bit of water in them along with the other elements.  In other terms, the Element Water is the force of cohesion.  It is what makes everything stick together.  It is the “love” factor. 

And more…

WATER TYPES

Water types are seekers of wisdom. In their youth, they typically possess a quality of being “wise beyond their years.” As adults, Water types are known for being unusually deep thinkers, always searching for truth and meaning. If you are a Water type, you are a philosopher, comfortable in the world of your mind, and you often prefer your own thoughts to a superficial dialogue with other people. You are strong-willed, and seek out quiet, tranquil environments. Physically you are healthy, vigorous, and have enormous willpower and a tremendous capacity for endurance.

If you are a Water type and you spend too much time alone, or in “survival mode,” you tend to manifest conditions associated with the kidneys and bladder. On an emotional level, when imbalanced your normally deep reservoir of inner strength can spill over into fear. I frequently advise my patients who are Water types to keep themselves in balance by drinking plenty of fluids and socializing regularly so they don’t become too emotionally isolated.

two day breather

it's such a breather to be away from the office even just for a couple o' days. anyways, my sister and i will start with our fruit smoothie diet this week since we got ourselves a new blender. i love smoothies. our kitty atari is growing up fast. whew, time flies...or they have this weird growth spurt? lol.

enjoying the weekend

Mars Needs MoMs (2011)

It’s a nice animated movie for kids who’s mean to their mothers, a must see. The movie is really cute because it brings out the kid in me. So, If you know kiddos out there who are not  obedient to their moms, this is the best flick to scare them of lol J

The Runaways (2010)

It was another one of those flicks about the makings of a rock n’ roll band but this time it’s an all chick band which is not so common back in the late 70’s I guess ‘cuz it was an era wherein the rock music scene is so testosterone dominated.

The movie isn’t something I’ve never seen before so nothing really exceptional about it. Dakota Fanning surprised me a bit how she was able to pull off the role of a teenage druggist. Kirsten Stewart did not surprise me anymore because she looks naturally 'stoned' lol. In fairness, she's a good actress.  

Snow White & The Hunstman (2012)

Speaking of Kirsten Stewart, this movie gave me quite a hard time separating Bella Swan (Twilight) from Snow White. It was ok for someone who has penchant with gothic and dark-themed movies. Another one of those kiddie fairy tales turned gloomy and grotesque.

It’s cold and gloomy again. I’m off to work again tomorrow. Geez.  

Anyways, I enjoyed the new MAGNUM caramel flavour.  A must try. J

I can’t wait for the release of Breaking Dawn II in celluloid! I just checked out the photos and press releases. It seems exciting having read the book. If the entire production team could pull it off, it’d be the best of all the sequels. Kinda like the last sequel of Harry Potter. I hope.

Back on Track

Drive (2011)

Top billed by one of my fave actors Ryan Gosling.

All he did was drive in the movie since it was his job. He was a murderer hiding underneath the veneer of a goody-two-shoes neighbor. It was OK but I was bored because I like fast paced movies and Drive isn't. It was a li’l gruesome as well because of the violence involved in that flick.

The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo (2011)

Stars: Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara and Christopher Plummer

Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing for forty years by Lisbeth Salander, a young computer hacker.

I definitely loved The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo  it's because I'm a big fan of Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy so I’ve known the story even before I watched it. I think I kind of like Rooney Mara than the previous girl from the other The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo (2009) movie released prior. I liked this movie adaptation really, hats off.

Contagion (2011)

Stars: Matt Damon, Kate Winslet and Jude Law

A thriller about a threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak (as per IMDB).

The movie was also ok. It was interesting although it freaked me out because it can be really scary if ever an outbreak like that would exist. 

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hollows II

Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint

Harry, Ron and Hermione searched for Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes in their effort to destroy the Dark Lord.

It was so action packed and was never boring. I think this is the best HP sequel I've seen. Voldemort's death and peace in the entire Hogwarts is what every HP fan ever wanted. This is the end I guess. Harry married Ron’s sister and Ron married Hermione. The two couples were both blessed with wonderful kids. The movie ended with them accompanying their kids to the train station bound to Hogwarts.

Puss in Boots (2011, Animation)

Stars: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis.

A story about the events leading up to the sword fighting cat's meeting with Shrek and his friends. It was cute. Absolutely GP. Drag your family along if you’ll watch Puss in Boots J And oh this is something for cat lovers as well.

The Cat (Korean Horror, 2011)

So-Yeon suffers from claustrophobia due to a traumatic incident that occurred to her as a child. So-Yeon is still being treated for her condition to this day. She works as a groomer at a pet shop and one day, a cat named Bidanyi comes into the store. The next day, the owner of Bidanyi is found dead in an elevator. So-Yeon, by request from police officer Joon-Suk, takes the cat home. Shortly after, So-Yeon starts to see a mysterious young girl. She becomes frightened. Then, So-Yeon's good friend Bo-Hee is found dead. Near Bo-Hee, there is a cat which Bo-Hee recently adopted from an animal shelter. So-Yeon now fears for her own life. So-Yeon and Joon-Suk investigate deeper into the mysterious case. There is a hidden story related to the cats.

I like it because I'm a fan of Korean horrors. Their horror movies are interesting because I think they have weird take on stuff like supernaturals and their movies are kind of grotesque. I'm just wondering why cats are always being associated with something evil while they’re such a sweet creature? Anyways, the movie was ok, nothing really special that you can’t afford to miss. The movie was also top billed by this girl from this Korean series City Hunter if you happen to watch that TV series. 

Red Riding Hood (2011)

Stars: Amanda Seyfried, Lukas Haas and Gary Oldman

Set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.

The movie made sense and I kind of liked it although am not a fan of medieval setting type of flicks. It wasn’t as gothic as the trailer though. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), found she can hear the thoughts of the wolf that has been plaguing her small village and happens to communicate with her asking her to join him to this place away from the village. She was treated as a witch and later on she realized that there's a wolf blood running in her veins because the killer wolf happened to be her father. Her beloved Peter was bitten by her father thus made him like one. Her love for Peter never faltered until he’s fully turned into a shape shifter wolf himself. -THE END-

It was a love story. That’s all.

live like a cat

It’s raining and foggy outside. Just earlier, after work, the weather was humid but getting close to muggy.  Now, it’s raining as if it's already rainy season!  I miss buying  ‘pandesal’ from the nearby bakery where our office’s shuttle service stops. I really enjoy my life here. It’s just so nice to peer through the windows in the office and see the bushes and pine trees plus the fog. It’s just so refreshing. We don’t have this down South. I guess It’s 'cuz I hailed from the South thus explains why I enjoy the sight of everything here. It’s just the simplicities of life around here. As the saying goes –little is always more J

Live like a cat. They always put their best foot forward no matter what and play and plummet and frolic like crazy like there's no tomorrow with a li'l bask in the sun to complete the day. Their life is so simple. All they do is chill--eat, sleep and play.
