Oh my SHREK!

One word, FUNNY! I love Shrek, all four movies. Since it's the last chapter of Shrek it's kind of sad since, this funny guy will be gone forever in the big screen. Well what can I say about the last chapter, when we talk about the comedy meter, well it was super funny, especially Donkey and Puss. But, in the romance meter, well what can I say  Shrek:Forever After definitely won the award, I cried in the end, so sweet! I was touched in the scene where Shrek said to Fiona, "You know the best part of my day is? Having the chance to fall in love with you again", OMG! tears rolling out of my eyes already after that line, it's the sweetest line ever.

This final chapter gave The whole Shrek series a good ending and an ending with a BANG! It's clever to make a story that the characters will portray different roles and personalities as well, so I like how they did with Puss and Fiona.

Well if your asking about how's the 3D version of the movie, well it's good, I can't  explain the technical details of how it looks like. LOL.But, definitely worth your money. So If you're looking for something you can watch and laugh along and also be amazed, watch Shrek 3D and you'll never regret it.

Never underestimate the power of SMILE

Smile though your heart is aching 

Smile even though it's breaking. 

When there are clouds in the sky 

you'll get by. 

If you smile through your pain and sorrow 

Smile and maybe tomorrow 

You'll see the sun shining through 

For you. 

I love smiling. Do you know that you use up more muscles when you frown than of smiling? So, it's really tiring to frown plus you'll look old much faster since it creates wrinkles, so girls no-no to frown.

 I believe that if we all smile, it can make a better world to live in. Smile your worries away like the song of Charlie Chaplin above, great song isn't it?  One smile can make your day better, especially when you share your smile to your friends, your colleagues, to someone from the store where you buy coffee in the morning, and also to strangers especially to frowning strangers , your smile can make a difference to you and to others, so go ahead smile.

you know when I'm walking my way to work, some folks (security guards) from a hotel I passed by, when they greet me "Good Morning" with a smile, I say the same and smile back, after that moment I feel so happy and light because we shared a smile that can make a difference to our day. So remember the saying, "Frown and you frown alone, Smile and the whole world smiles with you". You don't want to be alone do you?

Are you waiting for your rocket to come?

I think from the song of Jason's Mraz song "Curbside Prophet" well the way I interpret it, is that the rocket is a metaphor for a chance that can change your life and fly you off to the moon. You might be waiting for the chance to be rich, famous, a big promotion you've been waiting for, the right man, the right girl, family and etc. Everybody's waiting for something, and it depends on the person, his/her needs.

You know, this chance may come or may not come, only destiny will decide. But, whatever it is you're waiting for keep holding on, you might be surprised that you're rocket will be much much better than you wanted. I have been waiting for a certain rocket to come, but I realized it's not possible to come, so I just stopped hoping and moved on and be happy on what I am now, besides, I'm waiting for a new rocket to come *wink*.

Well, I believe everybody's waiting for their rocket to come. And for those who got their rocket, well good for you!

Eating Fast Food Abroad

I am not adventurous when it comes to food, I don't like chinese food, or thai, or korean. That's why, when I'm out of the country I eat fast food. They said that when you visit a country, you should at least eat their delicacies, well that's true but eating fast food has its own benefits, well at least for me.

I don't travel much, just a few countries I've been to and just only once I ate Chinese food, in HK Disney Land, well it's not even authentic I guess. I'll give few tips on what and where to eat just in case you want to grab some fast food when you're out of the country ( WARNING :This is just a very short list, I'll just mention the foods that are worth noting for)

1. Hong Kong

• I LOVE KFC of Hong Kong. Why? Their chicken is much tastier than of here in the Philippines. Their chicken come in twos and you can choose your side dish, either mushroom rice, criss-cut fries and etc. I always order Criss-cut fries because it's something new to me. 
• I DONT LIKE THEIR MCDO. The burger don't taste good, it's kind of spicy. I don't dig spicy food so if you like some hotness then you might like this one. But their chicken nuggets is good, although you have to order the sweet and sour sauce rather than Philppine's favorite BBQ sauce, because their BBQ sauce isn't that good.
• I LOVE YOU PIZZA HUT . I love hk's pizza hut. Their PH is not the same here in the Philippines, the pizza hut is that the setting is more like of a fine dining (but really not close just the setting and ambience). Pizza is good and pasta is divine, and the most of all, the dessert OMG! I super duper love the molten chocolate cake ( I can't remember if that's the name but it's all chocolate and it's molten cake so... there). Don't you dare miss eating @ pizza hut :)

2. Singapore

• Their fast foods are nothing special but in kopitiam (Food Court) in one mall (Can't remember what mall), I like the breaded pork they sell. Sorry if there's no much details because I can't remember where and what store. LOL. But the point of this is that their kopitiam isn't that bad, it's delicious so it's a must try, it's near eating their delicacies I think.

3. Malaysia

• MCDO . The nuggets is good, and again order the Sweet and Sour sauce because it's much better than BBQ Sauce. But the McFlurry, OMG. It's much bigger than of the Philippines, they have Cornetto McFlurry Imagine that! And it's 2-3x bigger than we have here so, it is one real ice cream treat! and it's delicious too! :)

4. Thailand

• Before, I don't eat at Burger King, but after I ate Chicken Sandwich here at Thailand's Burger King, gosh, I loved Burger King ever since, so that trip is memorable to me even we just stayed their overnight, BUMMER right?? Blame it to the flight we got from Malaysia to Thailand. 

So stop by to the fast foods that I had mentioned if you happen to visit that country, because each country has its own version of the food, well mostly not all. Hope you find my post very informative.

The more you hate, the more you write

Sometimes this is true, emotions comes out flawless when you hate someone and you're talking to that person. This maybe doesn't apply to all but it applies to me. The more you hate, the more you write. the more emotions you feel the more words are placing perfectly one by one to produce a sentence that is sharper than the knife. Of course, there are cases that you wouldn't want to offend someone, but let's go back to the phrase, the more you hate. If you care about someone, even though you're mad you'll stop yourself saying awful things because you're afraid to hurt that person, well you don't hate that person that much.

I've been observing that some people, when they're mad, they tend to speak English fluently when they are saying their feelings, getting all emotionally mad. This is because emotions come out so easily, when you love that person,so much, emotions come out naturally. You even tend to add flowery words to the sentence.

Emotions can really do a ton of things. There's even a saying,that don't make decision when you're mad. Because we're so carried away with the emotions we tend to slip away from our normal behavior.

The Chemistry of Geek Running

I love Running, especially in the morning. Well, I haven't tried running in the afternoon or in the night time well just because the place where I run is only open until 6 pm. And I always run with an empty stomach, since I'm having a hard time running with I drink/ate something, I feel pain in my stomach.

Why I love running? Because of the feeling when the air touches my face constantly. The carefree feeling. The freedom. Do I need to say more?

But, every love there's a weak spot. For me, my weak spot is waking up in the morning. It's hard for me to wake up especially when I slept late the previous night. But, after waking up and I washed my face, I am very good to go. 

Every hobby, there are essentials.  My essentials, are the basic + advanced essentials. What do I mean? Well the basic are:

1. Running shoes : this is the basic, well make sure that the shoes are comfortable and fits perfectly because it is important that you run comfortably. 
2. Towel
3. Water Jug - well, I don't always bring water since I'm kind of lazy to bring my own water, but I think it's essential.

I think that's the basic essentials, but since I'm the geek runner I have my own list of essentials that is added to the basic:

1. This is in reference to the running shoes:  my shoes are Nike+. Why? Because the Nike+ shoes have a built-in pocket where you put the Nike+ Sensor.
2. The Nike+ Sensor, since my iPhone already recognizes the sensor, I don't need the dongle that came along with the kit. This sensor gives feedback and tracks all your runs. Like the kilometer/miles,  time, pace and calories burned. So when you plug your iPhone/ Ipod it automatically sends the data to Nike.com
3. Ofcourse my iPhone. Since it is needed for the sensor to work. And also, I want to run with my music. I never run without music.

That's how I run, maybe you can share how you run to me email me at meltingsorbetes@yahoo.com

Beautiful Moon

I just want to share this beautiful picture that I have found in twitter.

Today, May 15, the moon appears closest to Venus. The effect to Venus is that the planet is currently experiencing eclipse.  I guess Philippines is lucky to have this sight available to us.
