isang araw na masaya at ang isandaang piso.

it was an ordinary day. clouds are thick but you can still see the sun is up. its really an unpredictable weather. paving the way of araneta center at 12:30pm, i was heading to anonas complex together with toots and jeffcrazy when we felt the need to obey our stomachs because it sings radically the tune of a hungry organ. we decided to eat in chowking rustans branch. having only a hundred bucks in my pocket, i ordered 2 tofus, 1 mirienda size wanton noodles,3 plain rice and 3 h2o's for our drinks. its a bash, we ate like we havent eaten since last year. the good thing is... we survived. asteeg! after we ate, we helped ourselves with a big scoop of laughter and never ending funny stories we had together in forums.. reminiscing times like these, ayos lang kahit wala kang pera, ang mahalaga masaya ka.

kaibigan and the meaning behind it

friends with expiration date???


i was down for quite sometime. wala ka man lang taong makausap para ilabas ang problema mo sa buhay. at home, you were tired of every misunderstanding sermons of your mom but you always believed that its for your own good.

is there a part of yourself that you felt very ill? its like in most of the movies were this person holds a gun. inches away from his hand to his head, in no effort at all can put the gun thru his head pull the trigger and be dead... he's minutes away from breaking apart with his soul... is this the only choice? confused and silently cryng. have you ever felt that certain feeling that your sitting in a park, alone, needing someone to embrace with and hoping somehow there's a person who could sit beside you and offer you the most expensive coffee from starbucks. it doesnt matter what this person can offer but the moment she/he thought of giving you 5 minutes of his/her time to sit beside you is enough to wipe the sorrow away. you see, its not the things that you count most but the uncalculating moments that person gives to you when it needed most.

i do believe people change. people come and go like applicants on your office. the harder part that you cant accept is the fact that somehow they will change their part that you see them as a person or a friend. you can say right into my face that "ok lang, dami naman ako kaibigan e.." or the filtiest "hindi ka kawalan!" its like they were never important to you at all... and what an irony, you heared those shattering words just when you needed a friend most.. these occurs to me all the time. i dont know... its really hard to believe that their are this so-called temporary friends & buddies for life... not to mention the friends for benifits foundation. its up for those people to realize where to put their friends around. do they desrve to throw in the box full of imitations, back stabbers, snakes & expiration dates or to a small jewel box packed with goodness and tender loving pals!

when you need to treasure those friends that are hard to find, you show them a full appreciation despite the only things they can give you is time. ok.. when was the last time your friends never bother you to text but when the time comes you have been hospitalized they were there, just to see if your doing fine. these are the pals that touched your heart... if you already find them, grab them and never ever let them go. but when the time comes they are grabbing them to you by the so called inevitable "change" or if you had done your part to him/her, maybe that will be the sign that person doesnt need you anymore.

..but since when was the last time a real friend finished to be your friend? i think its never ending... anjan lang siya.. maga aantay na kailanganin mo ulit ang serbisyo niya bilang isang mapagkawa at maarugang kaibigan.

"my sassy girl"

a remarkable korean film that will surely make your heart soft as your pillows


this film was 2 years late when it hit on the vcd shelves of the philippnes. how could this great film never flashed on philippine cinemas last 2001? when it bagged several international awards and critically acclaimed by media and movie goers all over the world..

its a simple love story with a very unique plot and ending, delivering fresh acting and twists that had been gone thru ages in cinemas! it talks about giving a chance in love, fighting for it and let it grow even if it happens in the very least you expects it. forget all those teenyboppy american love stories crap! (except 10 things i hate and she's all that) that have bland endings and the same plots.. this movie will make you cry and fall in love all over again. i recomend this film to all sentimental fools, finder of true love, and hopelessly in love... hehehehe! now were's my hanky?

PSII (para sa iyong impormasyon): a friend of mine watched it 12x na, pero hindi pa rin nagsasawa sa kaka iyak.. hehehe!!!

opinionating movies!

to this point, i am now 1 of the millions of people all over the world who had watched the most anticipated harry potter movie of the year! and according to my reliable source, it hit to a box office hit! S93.7 million in gross opening weekend... breaking the record of shrek 2!


i decided to watch with my bandmates together with kuya gavin, jeffcrazy and my bandmates girlfriends at robinsons galleria, since i havent experienced it to watch there...

harry potter and the prizoner of azkaban:

i definately love the book. but never do i expect anything less on the movie.. because before i watched it i searched and get some infos bout the director, alfonso cuaron and some other casts. although at first i expected changes and different styles particularly on camera angles, cinematography, special effects and on acting... i respect others opinion bwt the movie like.. lacking of some vital explenations and some new added scenes which are not on the book itself. and for me, this is the art of films! in order to have a good movie, one must reinvent and reformat some scenes to be cinematic. talagang ganyan pag movies, expect the unexpected. some movies didnt have to be more loyal to the books, na dapat kaparehong kapareho nung nasa novel. movies will be useless if there will be no changes that will impart.

here are some novels, comics & fictional books that make it to the silver screen:

1. a walk to remember
2. LOTR
3. the green mile
4. the diary of anne frank
5. to kill a mocking bird
6. gone with the wind
7. oliver
8. le miserable
9. spiderman
10. snow falling on cedars

as for the third instalment of harry potter, it really defines the word change. very alfonso cuaronish style of film...
comparing to chris columbus's harry part 1 and 2, columbus really is devoted to the book. kaya for me npaka biased kung ikokompare ng ganun ganun lang ang part 3 sa part and 2.
i'll give it 3 out of 5.

yep, i believe in miracles!

there are times in our life we feel like an awfully dull person who only waits for something extreme to happen. and i do think miracles are extreme and the most outrageous things happen to our lives. unless your an unbeliever, ofcourse there's always excemption to the rules...


it was 10:05am. still chilling in my bed. i wake up and felt like something good will happen. aaahhh... that postive vibe i felt! it was different. "oi!!!chigo gising na!!! pupunta pa tayong AMA!!!" shouts my big bro. i descends at my double deck bed and went down stairs straihght to the sala... i was born mabagal, so i found myself sleeping again in the sofa.. "florencci!!! ligo nahh!!!" i recognize it was my mums voice. dedma. sleep pa rin ako.. but theres something i cant explain that eventhough i felt bored and dizzy after that last encounter on Yahoo instant messanger, i manage to stand up, fixed my own breakfast(which are consisted only of pandesal and coffee with cream.) and take a bath. myabe its something from above. after 20min. of talking to the mirror, i decided to join my mudra, deempee and my brader gavin in the car and went on to the school op 2 dey to get my "crucial" credentials.

as we drive along the epifania de los santos avenue (edsa), i look back 5 years ago when i'm still taking up ab masscom. halos wala pa talagang direksiyon ang buhay ko nun, we were a little bit broke and many family problems are on the loose and almost teared my family down, we were just short of losing every hope we got.
but now, as we approach the facade of an old skul that offers me my big dream to be a broadcast journalist, i smiled and said... "haha!! i survived that piece of adventure!" maybe it really meant that way, na mag hirap kami, para magkaroon ako ng chance sa nursing...? thats the power of the word "maybe".
i make myself to believe that my past due accounts in the school after i left are growing higher because of some rumors that it might got up from P20k to P50k if we cant pay immediately! it was a miracle! i enrolled there in school year 1999-2000! man! that was five years ago! due to our problems financially back then, we havent done something to pay my debts in ama so... it was a miracle when i went to the cashiers office to found out that my account doesnt went baloon in thousands of cash! it was still remained the same.. haaaayyy.. it was a relief! it sounds like it was just a little miracle for others but for me, it kinda save my life.. =)
kayo? any small but life moving miracles that you have encountered???


LET ME ADD: ralph6 was there too! nakipag chikahan lang.. kaya yun... si deempee naman intresado na makita ang dating prinsesa ni... u know hu! hahahahaha! blind item! nyeknyeknyeknyeknye!!!

Finally!!!

hahahahaha!!!! may Blog na ako!!

testing one two.... ok, lets get started!
writing some of your personal stuffs that happend in one whole day makes me feel free.. i got 2 advantages: 1. practicing freedom of expression and 2. giving out your angst just about almost anything and every thing in life! and yes, this will shocase some of my death defying experiences, the most hilarious and the most crucial i did in the last 24 hours of my hilaw days. but untill then, my blogsite is still under renovation..

i named it greenmangoes because i still consider myself "hilaw". i am now on my 22nd year of my life, but i still feel 14. i believed every person in this world is like mangoes.. may matamis, may maasim. ang iba hinog sa pilit, yung iba bulok na. and thus these are what i called green mangoes of ccigaux...

come! try some!
