july 27, 2003 - there's another coup attempt from the junior officers of the military. this time, i want them to win the game. unfortunately at the end of the day, they “lay down their arms” and went back to their stations :( wierd? ndi naman. nagkataon lang na naniniwala ako sa mga pinaglalaban nila. tapos sa bandang huli parang wala ring nangyari.

i just love MARK NELSON. he seems to be a very sweet, sensitive and kindhearted man. in addition to these he is so so sexy :) and he also got a nice name combination. Nelson (actually nielson) is the name of my crush in grade 6 (oh, if you would have noticed, i didn't even bother to conceal his name that's because i don't think he knows this site exists or better yet if i exist. so why bother, di ba?) and mark is the name of my boyfriend, whom by the way i love so much.
sana lang i could get a picture of him, the one posted in every bench store. he looks so guwapo there :)

last saturday (july 26, 2003) i'm watching "sana maulit muli" staring lea salonga as a filipino immigrant in america and aga mulach, here in the philippines, as her fiancé who's also a family bread winner.
the film is divided into 3 parts.
part 1 established lea & aga's relationship with each other; lea's relationship with aga's family & vise versa; aqa with his parents; and their view towards staying here in the philippines and migrating to america (the so called promise land for the filipino people).
part 2 started when lea left for the states. here problem starts. she started missing aga. unfortunately aga's too busy working his butt out for their upcoming wedding & therefore neglecting lea. whenever lea called aga, he was either working or with his boss. please don't get the wrong impression that he doesn't love her anymore, what happened was that there's so much miscommunication between them because of the distance (see that's why i'm not in favor of long-distance relationships!).
in part 3, after a year & a half, it was clear that lea's already adjusted in the US, was in fact successful over aga. then one day aga called her. he's also in the states sent by his boss. they met, went out for dinner, had fun and rekindled the old flame all over again. but there was a twist of fate. lea now is an independent woman very unlike the one aga knew in the philippines. there aga observed & accepted the new lea while swallowing his pride & principles just to be with her. it went like that for a while.then one day he realized & he knew that he had to go back to the place where he belongs. and i just got so touched by his lines to lea when he announced his decision.
"hindi ko kayang magmahal ng di buo ang pagkatao ko. Nawawalan na ako ng respeto sa sarili ko. at ayokong dumating ang araw na mawalan ka na rin ng respeto sa akin."
and with this, she had to let go.
epilogue: in the end, the film illustrated aga as a successful officer in his company and as he went out of the building, he saw lea waiting for him. they hugged and held hands while walking side by side with the crowd :)
WALANG HANGGANG PAALAM
joey ayala
`di ba tayo'y narito
upang maging malaya
at upang palayain ang iba
ako'y walang hinihiling
tila ika'y ganoon din
sadya'y bigyang laya
ang isa't isa.
koro:
ang pag-ibig natin ay
walang hanggang paalam
at habang magkalayo
papalapit pa rin ang puso
kahit na magkahiwalay
tayo ay magkasama
sa magkabilang dulo
ng mundo.
ang bawat simula ay
siya ring katapusan
may patutunguhan ba
ang ating pagsinta
sa biglang tingin ay
tila walang kinabukasan
subalit `di malupig ang pag-asa
(ulitin ang koro ng dalawang beses)
