Besides the gwapo points ni Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian, the lush green sceneries and not to mention the rocky beach of Narnia there are nuggets of wisdom you can learned from the movie. Scholars says most of works of C.S. Lewis have allusions to Christian ideas. For one, Prince Caspian has to fight for what is rightfully his and that is to fulfill his destiny as the ruler of Narnia. Christian teaching tells us not to let the dark forces steal the future that God has promised us. When Jesus died on the cross, what comes with the gift of salvation is the freedom from whatever that enslaves us. This truth can free us from doubts that we can enjoy a prosperous and successful lives. If we believe that we are destined to greatness then we can be. It is what we call faith.

I was invited by Kate to join her and her family for a long weekend getaway to Northern Samar!!! Woohoo!!! May 1 was spent on the road as we drive through Laguna, Batangas, Quezon and Bicol region. This is the longest road trip I've ever been to and I really love the view of South Luzon countryside. Amidst the dawning of a new day are mountain views, rivers, rice fields and the faces of simple rural life. We were all awake when we finally reach Camarines Sur and sure we beg to drop-by the well-known to CWC complex in Pili, CamSur. We did stop by and took pictures of the water sports complex I've been dreaming to go to and try my "athletic" persona. But no try-outs just yet on that day despite our silent clamors, the "elders" have different plans at that time and that is-to finish the road trip as early as possible. With greater things waiting for us in Samar, we happily obliged and get back to our seats for another seven hours of travel to our beach destination! http://marialourdes24.multiply.com/photos/album/135/Road_Trip_Stop-Over_CWC Tue, 6 May 2008 06:39:42 -0000 I Promise Myself To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet. To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet. To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that... http://marialourdes24.multiply.com/journal/item/84/I_Promise_Myself_ Thu, 24 Apr 2008 06:40:53 -0000 Manood ka ng PLONING I am joining the bandwagon of Ploning supporters in promoting this movie. We have have been waiting for this. As I've commented in my friend's page, I saw the persistence of people na may pakana nito in their blog entries all over multiply for nearly a year na. Contagious ang passion ng mga churchmates naming sina <a href="http://jourdanthedreamer.multiply.com/">Jourdan</a>, <a href="http://dantenicogarcia.multiply.com/">Dante</a> and <a href="http://guiagonzales.multiply.com/">Guia</a> for this project and their vision for Philippine Cinema is really something you would want to look forward to. Who wouldn't want to see Filipino filmakers of non-violent and Pinoy culture enriched films into the pedestal? Plus, these people are God-fearing individuals whose one goal is to bring back the glory to the one who bestowed them such talents in film-making. Kudos to Panoramanila! And please don't ask me for free tickets. Jourdan has a lengthy piece of anecdote on why buy your own tix.

When was the last time we saw a quality authentic Filipino movie? But... "PANORAMANILA has a New Vision of Pinoy Cinema. They are a young breed of Filipino filmmakers who are passionate in producing films that will help promote a new and inspired age of Philippine Cinema..." I've seen in multiply how the filmakers were persistent in blogging about this project. Nagpapansin talaga sila. And in fairness to them it really is worth keeping an eye on how their dreams are coming into reality and that is to produce film worthy of claiming that it is made by fellow Filipinos. When I was in Palawan, I was charmed by the beauty of the city, the county of Cabayugan and Honda Bay. Judging by these amazing landscape and seascapes I have no doubt that Cuyo is equally wonderful. With the beauty of location alone in mind, I'm really encouraged to see this movie.

Growing up in a "Sagrado Katoliko" familia means that Visita Iglesia is the only official gimik that we could do. But I never had the chance to do that when I was younger. My folks would have been beaming with smile to know that I actually did it. But sorry it's for art's sake. And I'm giving this "church concept" another chance when I get my dSLR.
