I'm so happy that this year, the Philippines managed to bag three crowns! First, we got Miss Supranational 2013 Mutya Datul, and then Miss World 2013 Megan Young. And before we end this year, Bea Rose Santiago was crowned as the new Miss International last December 17, 2013 in Tokyo, Japan. After 8 years, we got to get the Miss International crown again. :D

Truly, the Philippines is the country of the year. We do not only have 3 crowns (2 major crowns and 1 minor crown) for this year but we also placed runner-ups and semi-finalists in other beauty pageants. Bea's win has been a good Christmas gift to all the Pinoys. We are all proud of you, Bea! Congratulations!

She looks so beautiful. She kind of reminds me of Amelia Vega ( Miss Universe 2003). I do not care about the bashers and non-believers, I firmly stand by my belief that she's truly deserving as Miss International 2013. And yeah, I saw her performance. She was so regal, queenly, she's smart and she's very articulate that I love hearing her talk. She's got what it takes to be Miss International! Congratulations Bea Rose Santiago!

The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug

The second installment of The Hobbit is pure awesome! I love everything! I know the "purists" won't agree with me, but I have to say that Sir Peter Jackson has made a great film. I'm such a huge fan. I wanna see the movie again and again! The execution of the battle scenes / fight scenes were epic. And there was this scene where in Bombur had his shining moment. And I'm so glad he had it. You gotta go watch it ;).

I love all the characters in this film and I can't help getting "kilig" seeing Legolas again ♥. His character does not exist in the book but I love how Peter Jackson brought him in this film. The most refreshing character for me is having a girl in the movie in the person of Evangeline Lily who played the fierce Elven warrior "Tauriel". Her character is amazing I wanted to be like her ♥. I'm not just sold on the Tauriel x Kili thing. Hihi. I mean, well, I just can't picture a charming dwarf and a pretty fierce elf together. On the other hand, Thorin Oakenshield is awesome and so male as ever. And do you know what's more exciting? Finally seeing Smaug the dragon on the big screen! I was so "kilig" with his scenes with Bilbo. Sherlock Holmes, err, Benedict Cumberbatch, hello? He was remarkable!!!

I thought in this second installment they're gonna have the Battle of Five Armies, but then we have to wait for the part III! I'm sure that it's gonna be so freakin' & epic-ly staggering!

Suffice to say, Peter Jackson has not disappointed me... yet. I was really satisfied with the The Desolation of Smaug. I'm sure he won't let me down with the last film.

And oh, it's nice seeing this film with two of my friends who are also a huge fan of  The Lord of the rings and The Hobbit. :)

Awesome soundtrack from an equally awesome film! ♥♥♥

I See Fire

~ Ed Sheeran~

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below

Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke

Keep watching over Durin's son

If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn together

Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

And if we should die tonight

Then we should all die together

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father, oh

Prepare as we will

Watch the flames burn auburn over

The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall in

Surely I'll do the same

Confined in mountain halls

We got too close to the flame

Calling out father

Hold fast and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

And I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning

I will cover my eyes

For if the dark returns then

My brothers will die

And as the sky is falling down

It crashed into this lonely town

And with that shadow upon the ground

I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

And I see fire

Blood in the breeze

I see fire (Oh you know I saw a city burning) (fire)

And I see fire (Feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)

And I see fire (Uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)

And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

V-Neck Shirt & Sunglasses

I really find men in white V-neck shirt and sunglasses so fuckin' hot. Not all men can pull-off this outfit. But if a guy/men can pull it off, man, I get weak in the knees and I'm drooling over. Kaya rin, kadalasan ang mga bida ko, kailangan nakasuot ng white v-neck shirt at sunglasses. LOL. Magawa rin nga `yan do'n sa story ni Micky :p.

Confused

Hello December!

Finally, I got the time to update my blog. *throws confetti*

Anyway, what would I talk about here?

Oh yeah, I got it. Things that are making my head spin. Have you come to a point wherein you don't know what to do first in the goals you wanted to attain or achieve ? Mine's not really big of a deal. I'm just kind of confused what to prioritize. I have so many things I wanted to buy and do. But what to do first?

Here's my list:

1) Buy a new phone. The one I'm using right now is still operating. I just want to have an Android phone.
2) Buy new clothes (dress, pants, blouses for office attire)
3) Buy a purple laptop, I'm so dying to have!!!
4) Buy Keds the Taylor Swift edition. ♥
5) Visit the dentist, have my teeth clean and stuff. XD
6) Get a new computer glasses.
7) Buy an external HD where I can store all my Arashi files and whatnot, and the movies I downloaded.

So many things on my list, eh? Ha-ha! And then I have to pay all my purchased Arashi goods... and my mama's making hingi pa ng bonus from me, and I have a Tita and cousin whom I have to give bonuses too.

So what to do? I want all these things to happen but then, thinking about all the amount of which I’m going to spend, it just makes me want to save up all the money I’ll be getting this season! XD

Aside from this confusion, I'm also having a problem with the novel I'm currently writing. Yeah, guys, I'm back to writing again! But I'm stuck at Chapter 6. I have plans for the characters, and I have ideas, but here I go again, I don't know which way to go. Am I doing the right thing? I'm kind of lost. I don't want to disappoint the readers who appreciated Jaeden's story. I want to do better in Micky's story. I really wish I could do it right. I'm having this doubtmare again. *sigh*
