The keeper of the stars



Finally I have found a place into which I fit perfectly, safely, and securely with no doubts, fears, sadness, or tears. This place is filled with happiness and laughter, yet it is spacious enough to allow me the freedom to move around, to live my life, and to be myself. This wonderful place, which I never believed really existed,  I have found finally in your arms, in your heart, in your love.

And from that moment, there was never any doubt I had found the one, that I had always dreamed about.

I’m sure, it wasn’t an accident, Someone had a hand in it long before we ever knew. Now I just can’t believe you’re in my life. Heaven’s smiling down on me as I look  at you tonight. I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars. He sure knew what he was doin’ when he joined these two hearts.

I'ts true, some things are meant to happen. Some things are bound to be. Love has a way of making doubting hearts believe. Sometimes in spite of difference, sometimes against all odds, some things are meant to happen. It’s written in the stars.

I hold everything when I hold you in my arms. I’ve got all I’ll ever need.

A million thanks to the keeper of the stars.

L.M.H. : Fan girl for a day

Exactly a week and a day after that L.M.H gaga state in Manila and yet I still can't believe that I had that very rare chance to see the City Hunter himself in the flesh. I told you I won't miss that for the world--it's Lee Min Ho my gosh! Anyways, I'm sorry for the late post--I am really excited to share you guys my first ever fangirling experience but then, I have been waiting for my co-fan to upload all the photos she took with her camera so I can show everything in detailed. I know I am such a goosey~I didn't bring my own-- that's a lesson learned for me. Note to self: Camera is a must have in times like this--but at least my ever reliable phone is with me all the time so I was able to capture some photos--so sorry for the not so good quality though. Here you go--enjoy!

My original plan was to go to Glorietta--I thought most Minoz will go to SM North Edsa cause it's the nearest so it's much better there. Luckily I wasn't able to get an FX going to Cubao so I just took an FX going to North Edsa instead. Ok it's a sign! lol!


I was there from 11am till--guess what?! I'll tell you guys later-hehe. So that was me patiently waiting in line with no one--da boyfriend had to work so I didn't have any choice.


Just a part of a very-very-very long line. They're all wearing L.M.H. shirt from Bench. See the smile on their faces? They didn't really mind falling in line and waiting for ages--avid fans in deed!

 

Wearing my own L.M.H. shirt--lucky me, wasn't cramming to get a shirt. I told you the sweetest boyfriend bought mine before hand. Most of them were complaining for getting big sizes--cause obviously they're the only shirts left. No shirt--No entry!

 

Sea of people!  Even a needle won't hit the ground--swear! I really hate being surrounded with tons of peepz but yeah--I was able to bear the crowd.


I was surprised Teacher Flo was there too--I didn't expect that I thought they were just joking on fb. Thank goodness--I was no longer alone. Sorry for the haggard look--blame Lee Min Ho for that!


I just hope you guys saw how ecstatic I was when I got this pass--1039? WTF I was really happy--one step closer  to see Gu Jun Pyo *scream*


 Finally! I'm inside the Skydome--literally, I'm on cloud nine!


Just by seeing those giant Lee Min Ho posters on stage made me feel  like bawling at the top of my lungs!

 

I was counting every seconds--. I was just too excited and I just couldn't hide it--lol!

 

I envy those people near the stage--they were able to see him up close. Not to mention that they were the lucky ones who got signed poster and had the chance to greet Lee Min Ho up close--real close! Poor green-eyed monster!  

 

The crowd! There were cameras  rolling--capturing our fangirling moments while waiting.

 

See how excited everyone was? They were shouting every time the door at the back part of the stage opens. Hoping it's Lee Min Ho--all fingers were crossed!

 

I was this close--kinda close but I want closer--real close! Anyways, the meet and greet started a couple of hours late. It started at 5pm, so can you just imagine how long I waited just to see him? Can you guys imagine all the physical abuse I got and all the sacrifices I made? Totally unimaginable! Even I--myself couldn't believe what I've gone through--just for Lee Min Ho (pasalamat ka gwapo ka!). But I tell you this--it's all worth it. I'm really the happiest!

Ps.

I'll be posting all the photos as soon as T.flo got them all uploaded.

Memoirs of a Daddy's girl


  

11 years have passed after that most doleful moment of my life yet I can still tell exactly what happened and what I was feeling that very night I lost him. Though there's nothing worse than losing someone you love, I can't just let myself stuck in that moment for the rest of my life. I have had to learn how to let go, to live and appreciate life.  I know that's what he wants.

And although I'll never get to hear him laugh, see him draw, talk with him and celebrate birthdays with him again~I am still grateful. I am fortunate to spent 14 years of my life with him and I will be forever thankful to have grown up in a home with a father, to have had his guidance and love. I know that some do not get the chance to have a father in their lives. Some don't know who or where their fathers are. So I realized that even though God took him untimely from me, I'm still lucky and blessed cause I have had the best Daddy in the world and that I was able to share good memories with him.

Growing up with him will always be one of my favorite memories. He's without a doubt my first love and I will never forget the time I spent with him. Though he's gone and things changed, memories remain and I will always hold ours close to my heart forever.

I am daddy's little girl~ always have been, always will be. I love him and I'll be forever proud to be his daughter. I know that he's still with me and all of our family in spirit and that he's watching over us.

Here's to celebrating your another year older in heaven~Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you so much and I miss you.

Poem: Daddy's Little Girl

It's my Daddy's birthday tomorrow and like the usual I'm as emotional as ever. And I'm loving this kind of day cause I can be more poetic and dactylic. I feel like doing a poem today  so here's what I did. I made this in between my classes~yes multitasking as it best. Feel free to read and tell me if you like it guys!

Daddy's little girl

As I walk down the aisle
I close my eyes and stop for a while
Tears fall down my face
I ask for mom's embrace

See the groom at the altar
Waiting patiently from a far
He smiles at me as he almost cry
Cause he knows the reason why

I'd been waiting for this day
And finally come my way
I'm happy and sad
Wish you're with me Dad

Kiss all my tears away
Hold my hands all the way
To the man who's standing there
Tell him to handle me with care

Like what you always do
When I was still your little boo
I know you're right here with me
Always, forever you will be

I soon would be a wife
Will go on with my own life
But there's one thing I want you to feel
That I'll be forever Daddy's little girl

The Twilight Saga: All's well that ends well

Obviously I'm still having my Breaking Dawn part 2 hangover and Twilight Series separation anxiety--somehow I feel glum--I just find it quite hard to outbreak all this Twilight hysteria in me--I'd been waiting for this and now I can't just get enough--silly!. I know I can always watch them back but--yeah I dunno, it's just weird. Imagine 5 years?  its' no joke (parang break-up lang-lol). But seriously--I'm missing it already--real bad that I just find myself editing the TWILIGHT post I made on Tumblr a couple of years ago. By that time Eclipse just came out so da boyfriend and I watched it together (we were kinda late though). And as mentioned there--unlike me~ my boyfriend, Michael wasn't really a fan cause he actually didn't  watch twilight and new moon when they first came out. He thought that it wasn't his thing and he wasn't really interested at all. Well, not until I became his girlfriend. Knowing me, I am obsessed with anything novel based movies so he didn't have any choice--lol! I convinced him to watch TWILIGHT and NEWMOON online and he did. Surprisingly he liked them and from then on we have this 'let's watch Twilight' tradition yearly. Sadly--next year is going to be Twilight-less for all of us. *insert sad face here*

And because of that--here's a refresher for everyone, for nostalgia's sake--let's take a stroll down memory lane and recall all those years following the story of Bella and Edward. Enjoy!

'THE TWILIGHT SAGA (According to wiki)
(click the highlighted words for more info link)

 

The Twilight Saga is a series of five romance fantasy films from Summit Entertainment based on the four Twilight series novels  by the American author Stephenie Meyer.

The films star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The series has grossed over $2 billion in worldwide receipts and consists, to date, of five motion pictures. The first installment Twilight was released on November 21, 2008. The second installment, New Moon, followed on November 20, 2009, breaking box office records as the biggest midnight screening and opening day in history, grossing an estimated $72.7 million. The third installment, Eclipse, was released on June 30, 2010, was the first Twilight film to be released in IMAX.
The series was in development since 2004 at Paramount Pictures, during which time a screen adaptation of Twilight that differed significantly from the novel was written. Three years later, Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the film. After Twilight grossed $35.7 million on its opening day, Summit Entertainment announced they would begin production on New Moon; they had acquired the rights to the remaining novels earlier that same month. A two-part adaptation of Breaking Dawn began shooting in November 2010 with November 18, 2011, and November 16, 2012, release dates.


Plot

Twilight (2008)

Seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan moves to Forks, a small town near the Washington coast, to live with her father, Charlie, after her mother is remarried to a minor league baseball player. She is quickly befriended by many students at her new high school, but she is intrigued by the mysterious and aloof Cullen siblings. Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in biology class on her first day of school; he appears to be disgusted by her, much to Bella's confusion. A few days later, Bella is nearly struck by a van in the school parking lot. Edward inexplicably moves from several feet away and stops the vehicle with his hand without any harm to himself or Bella. He later refuses to explain this act to Bella and warns her against befriending him.

After much research, Bella eventually discovers that Edward is a vampire, though he only consumes animal blood. The pair fall in love and Edward introduces Bella to his vampire family, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. Soon after, three nomadic vampires—James, Victoria, and Laurent—arrive. James, a tracker vampire, is intrigued by Edward's protectiveness over a human and wants to hunt Bella for sport. Edward and his family risk their lives to protect her, but James tracks Bella to Phoenix where she is hiding and lures her into a trap by claiming he is holding her mother hostage. James attacks Bella and bites her wrist, but Edward, along with the other Cullen family members, arrives before he can kill her. James is destroyed, and Edward sucks James's venom from Bella's wrist, preventing her from becoming a vampire. A severely injured Bella is taken to a hospital. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their school prom. While there, Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to grant. The film ends with Victoria secretly watching the pair dancing, plotting revenge for her lover James's death.

 New Moon (2009)

On her 18th birthday, Bella Swan wakes up from a dream in which she sees herself as an old woman. She expresses her distaste with growing older than her boyfriend Edward Cullen, a vampire who stopped aging physically at 17. Despite her lack of enthusiasm, Edward's adoptive family throws Bella a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, Bella gets a paper cut, causing Edward's brother, Jasper, to become overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill her. Realizing the danger that he and his family pose to Bella, Edward ends their relationship, and the Cullens leave Forks, Washington.

Edward's departure leaves Bella heartbroken and depressed for months; however, when her father, Charlie, finally decides to send her to live with her mother in Florida, Bella refuses and agrees to spend more time with her friends. After seeing a movie with Jessica, Bella sees a group of men on motorcycles. This reminds her of when Edward previously rescued her from an assault, and she sees his image warning her to stay away. Bella discovers that all thrill-seeking activities evoke Edward's preserved image. She is also comforted by her deepening friendship with Jacob Black, a cheerful companion who eases her pain over losing Edward. When Jacob suddenly begins avoiding her, Bella discovers he has become a werewolf, an age-old enemy of vampires. Jacob's pack members are on constant patrol for Victoria, a vampire who wants to kill Bella to avenge the death of her mate by Edward's hand, leaving Jacob little time to spend with her. Alone again, Bella returns to seeking thrill-inducing activities.

Through a series of miscommunications, Edward believes Bella has killed herself by jumping off a cliff into the ocean. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward travels to Italy to provoke the Volturi—a powerful vampire coven capable of killing him—by exposing himself as a vampire to humans. Alice, Edward's sister, and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, and arrive just in time to stop him. It is then that Edward tells Bella that he always loved her and only left to protect her. However, the Volturi determine that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire herself. Alice stops them from killing her by sharing her premonition with Aro (Michael Sheen)—a Volturi elder who is able to read thoughts through touch—in which Bella has been transformed. Soon after, they return to Forks and Bella forgives Edward for leaving her. The Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, much to Edward and Rosalie's dismay. Later on, Jacob reminds Edward of the treaty the Cullens made with the Quileute tribe: they will not attack each other, as long as the Cullens do not bite any humans—an action necessary for Bella's transformation. The movie concludes with Edward telling Bella that he will change her into a vampire, but only if she marries him first.

 Eclipse (2010)

In Seattle, not far from Forks, Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) attacks and bites Riley Biers (Xavier Samuel), in order to begin creating an army of newborns set to destroy Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). Back in Forks, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella discuss the complications of becoming an immortal vampire. At 18 years old, one year older than the age Edward was when he became a vampire, Bella expresses her aversion to the idea of marrying so young, though Edward refuses to turn her until they are married and she's had various human experiences she would otherwise miss. While Charlie Swan (Billy Burke) investigates the disappearance of Riley Biers, Edward suspects his disappearance was caused by the newborn vampires. Furthering his suspicions is the intrusion of Riley into Bella's room.

Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella insists that Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and the rest of the werewolf pack would never harm her, but Edward is still not convinced. Bella goes to La Push to see Jacob, and returns home unharmed. During one of her visits, Jacob confesses that he is in love with Bella, and forcefully kisses her. Furious, she punches him and breaks her hand, and Edward later threatens Jacob and tells him to only kiss her if she asks him to. Bella even revokes the invitations of Jacob and his pack members to her graduation party, but when Jacob apologizes for his behavior, she forgives him.

Meanwhile, Alice (Ashley Greene) sees a vision that the newborn army is attacking Forks led by Riley Biers. Jacob, accompanied by Quil (Tyson Houseman) and Embry (Kiowa Gordon) overhear this, which leads to an alliance between the Cullens and Wolf pack. Later, the Cullens and the wolves agree to a meeting place and time to train and discuss strategy. During the training Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) explains to Bella that he was created by a vampire named Maria to control a newborn army. He hated his original existence and upon meeting Alice, joined the Cullens with her. Bella sees the true bond between a mated vampire pair and begins to understand Jasper better. Despite her reluctance to marry, Bella realizes that spending eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything else and agrees to marry him. Edward and Bella camp up in the mountains to hide Bella from the bloodthirsty newborns. During the night, Bella overhears a conversation between Edward and Jacob, in which they temporarily put aside their hatred towards each other. In the morning, Jacob overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and becomes very upset. Before he can run off to get himself killed in the fight with the newborns, Bella desperately asks him to kiss her, and she realizes that she has fallen in love with him. Edward finds out about the kiss but is not angry, as Bella says she loves him more than Jacob.

When Victoria finds Bella's hiding spot, Edward kills her while Seth kills Riley. The Cullens and the Quileute wolves, meanwhile, destroy her "army", though Jacob is injured saving Leah Clearwater from a newborn. Several members of the Volturi arrive to deal with the newborn army. They also see that the Cullens are guarding the newborn, Bree Tanner (Jodelle Ferland), who had refused to fight and surrendered to Carlisle. Jane (Dakota Fanning) tortures Bree to get information, then instructs Felix to kill her, despite the Cullens' efforts to spare her. When Jane notes that Caius will find it interesting that Bella is still human, Bella informs her that the date for her transformation has been set. Bella visits the injured Jacob to tell him that even though she is in love with him, she has chosen to be with Edward. Saddened by her choice, Jacob reluctantly agrees to stop trying to come between her and Edward.

Bella and Edward go to their meadow, where she tells him she has decided to do things his way: get married, make love, then be transformed into a vampire. She also explains that she never has been normal and never will be; she's felt out of place her entire life, but when she is in Edward's world she feels stronger and complete. At the end of the story they decide they need to tell Charlie about their engagement.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)

The film starts out as Bella Swan plans her wedding with the Cullen family. Before the wedding, Edward Cullen tells Bella that he has murdered people in the past. Undaunted by this, Bella and Edward go ahead with the wedding. During the reception following her wedding to Edward, Bella is visited by her friend Jacob Black. When Bella admits that she and Edward plan to consummate their marriage during their honeymoon, Jacob becomes angry but is held back by his pack. He then runs off into the woods, and Edward takes an upset Bella back to the reception.
The couple spends their honeymoon on the Cullens' private Brazilian island. Although hesitant, Edward has sex with Bella for the first time. After, Edward realizes that he bruised Bella's arm, back and shoulders during sex and he vows to never be intimate with her again, much to her disappointment; he later gives in to her seductions. Two weeks into their honeymoon, Bella discovers that she is pregnant with a baby growing at an extraordinarily accelerated rate. After consulting with Carlisle, they rush back to Forks. Bella refuses to consider having an abortion, and enlists Rosalie's help to protect her wishes.
Opposed to Sam Uley's plans to kill Bella and her child, which is thought to be a demon, Jacob angrily leaves his pack and arrives at the Cullens' to protect Bella; Seth and Leah Clearwater join him, forming a new wolf pack. As the pregnancy progresses, Bella's health severely deteriorates. As a last resort, she begins drinking blood, which satisfies the fetus' vampiric thirst and allows her to regain some strength. Soon afterward, Bella goes into a painful labor and gives birth to her child, Renesmee, an conflation of the names of Bella's mother, Renée and Edward's adoptive mother, Esme. To save her life, Edward injects Bella's heart with his venom to transform her into a vampire, but nothing seems to happen and Bella is thought to be dead. Greatly distraught, Jacob attempts to kill the baby, but stops when he realizes he has imprinted on the child.
When the werewolves learn of Bella's "death", they attack the Cullens' house in an attempt to kill the baby. They are forced to stop after learning Jacob has imprinted on Renesmee (imprinting is the involuntary response when a werewolf finds his soul mate; thus under their wolf law, Renesmee cannot be harmed). After Bella is thought to be deceased, Carlisle notices there's a slight pulse and tells Edward and the rest of the Cullens as they clean the body. Soon after, her wounds suddenly heal as the venom spreads through her body. Bella's heart finally ceases, and she awakens as a newborn vampire.
In a post-credits scene, the Volturi hear about Bella's conversion; Aro notes that it does not end their dispute with the Cullens, proclaiming, "They have something I want".

Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012)

After being brought back from near-death by Edward after childbirth, Bella begins her new life as a vampire and mother to their daughter, Renesmee, who is growing at an accelerated rate. But when Irina, a member of the Denali coven, mistakenly reports Renesmee as a human infant who has been bitten and transformed into a vampire to the Volturi, they set out to battle and destroy the Cullens for breaking vampire law. To prove Renesmee is not an immortal child, the Cullens gather foreign vampire clans, including the Denali, the Amazonian, the Egyptian, the Irish, and Romanian covens, and also European and American nomads, to stand as their witnesses to the Volturi. Aro, the Volturi leader, has ulterior motives for battling the Cullens, however. With their vampire allies and the Quileute wolf pack, the Cullens defend themselves against the Volturi.
