VILLA ESTRELLA

Yesterday, me and my older sister watch Villa Estrella at SM Southmall Cinema 2.
Maybe now you are asking why i have watch the movie, maybe because we are used to watch Tagalog horror movies. Some says its very jologs to watch these kind of movies but sometimes you will see that Filipino movies can be compare to Hollywood movies but lesser the effect. I wonder if Pinoy directors and producer were given more opportunity and more budget and breaks then we can says we can infiltrate Hollywood movies.

Ok, so much of my day dreaming.. hehehe

Taste first the trailer of the movie before i gave out a synopsis and a feedback about this.




Hope, you liked the teaser.

Here is my synopsis and feedback..

Well, The movie starts at the house of Anna played by
Shaina Magdayao who is sleeping but was awake because of a bad dreams (usually someone that is being drowned) and later she packing her things and decided to flee to his father played by John Estrada with the help of his boyfriend Dennis played by Geoff_Eigenmann. Anna's father is an alcoholic and a smoker and he always physically hurting Anna when he's drunk, actually he emotionally and physically torturing her. i can say that he is just too coward of everything that is why he is doing power tripping to Anna(just my opinion.)
Back to the movie. But Anna was not able to do it as plan because she remembers what her mother(Yayo Martinez) said about not leaving her father. And looked at her locket with the picture of her mother inside.
Morning came and she was informed by her father that Alex played by
Jake_Cuenca, will come to be picked her up for some business purposes(Wow! the car is a BMW). Actually, Alex and Anna are childhood friends because their father are i think best of friends. With this situation both party wanted an arrange marriage except for Anna. Well, Alex loves Anna so much in this movie.
The next scene was in the car where Alex and Anna was talking about the relationship. Alex was Anna's ex boyfriend. But, Anna think that Alex has the same personality as her father who is a dictator so this means she do not want to take back Alex in her life. Poor Alex.
Alex informed Anna that they are going to Villa Estrella. This is an old resort owned by their families.

Villa Estrella, the real story started.

Mang Agusting, the care taker of the resort who suffers alot upon learning that her daughter Ading got lost. Some say that her daughter flee with his boyfriend or she was already dead which he never believed. There was a belief that you can see the soul of a dead person when you look at the mirror at night. Almost every night the poor care taker look at the mirror in the woods. He also wants cornick (sun dried and oil cooked corn).

Aling Susy, she's the all around helper of the resort and the mother of Karen and Giselle.

Karen, a little girl who is about 7 to 10 years old. A crippled child with an imaginary friend Danica. Danica is her friend who died in pool drowning inside Villa Estrella while saving Karen's doll. Such a friendly child.

Giselle, older sister of Karen with a mysterious act.

This was this mysterious teenage girl whom met Anna met in the resort which is being played by
Maja Salvador.

Guess i already put almost all the character.

Let's get started.
Well, when Alex and Anna arrived at the the place they were met by Mang Agusting and Alex's uncle who i think the over all in-change of the renovation of the resort. Mang Agusting recognized Anna but Anna was not able to recognized the old man. He also offer her cornick and was called to checked something.

Anna felt the eerie while inside the resort. A pool with water which is so dirty but i guess not that smelly because people to stay in this part of the Villa.

While shes checking the place she was able to meet Karen. Karen introduced her to Danica. Then came Aling Susy. The middle aged woman told Anna about Danica. Then came the mysterious girl.

Because of some reasons. Anna and Alex decided stay for a night in the resort. Because of this Anna called Dennis and told him about the situation. Dennis decided to go to Villa Estrella with his friend played by the commediane Estong.

Alex's uncle and his friend was drinking beside the pool. One by one they were pulled by an Algae child or woman.

At night, Karen was awake by a child i dont know if this is Danica. The child was so mean and eerie. She told Karen that doll was in the pool so Karen tried to get the doll she was pulled in the pool. Her mother and everybody was looking for her. Then they came to the pool and Karen came to out of the water with such a different personality but of course this was not notice by everyone except by Anna.

Anna was left in the pool. It was her turned pulled by the pool. She remembered what blind palm reader told her that when shes in the middle of death and life, a good soul will then guide her towards the light which is happening that very moment(Well, i guess if the movie have a lot of water scene that will be nice). Alex saved her. She got unconcious. When she was awake, Maja Salvador was beside her. Maja noticed the colloid on the her back asked her where she get that Anna told Maja that she was cause by her father.

Dennis came and tried to get Anna but Alex was able to discovered this so the men got into one on one fight with the help of Dennis' friend. Anna was left in the pool. The 3 was able to knocked down Alex.

While on their way, Anna noticed that her locket was missing because of this they got back in the resort. Dennis friend looked it in the pool using a net. Estong was not able to retrieved clothes.
Of course, Estong became the victim. But before he was eaten by the pool. He said the most funniest script in the movie. " Are you a monster, an alien?". Hehehehe. With such facial and a face like that what should i do laugh out loud. Because of this, the two decided to stay in the tree house.

Well, the next morning came. Dennis decided to look for his friend. He was trapped inside a hole and was unconcious for quiet sometime.

Anna was awake and looking for Dennis. She sees Aling Susy packing their things inside a jeep because of what happened the other night. Anna was able to met Giselle for the first time which she was mistaken to be Maja Salvador. She gave Karen her sketch. The girl said "This is not me!". Weird but the crippled girl was healed with a nasty attitude. Anna camed to her senses and realized that Maja was already death. In the house, Maja was asking Anna if she know about her. That she was not help by Anna during her death.

Dennis was awake and unable to get someone's help he decided to check whats the other side of the cave. Inside he discovered a corpse beneath the pool, with a bracelet with a the name "ANDREA" engrave to it . He was able to go to the bridge in the entrance of Villa Estrella and sees Alex's father.

After Dennis introduced himself to Alex's father and told him about the corpse he was killed by the man using a gun. He felt in the bridge and died immediately. Upon knowing this Alex's father told Anna's father about the incident so they decided leave the place.

Alex's father was beside the pool. The Algae woman who came to be Andrea. She killed him and pulled her in the pool.

Anna's father and Alex was fighting because of Anna. Anna run into the room of Man Ading and was able to discover an Altar with the picture of Andrea on it.

Flashback of what had happened. Andrea was the only child of Mang Agusting and a friend to Anna when she was a child. Was killed and raped by Anna's and Alex's fathers and Anna witnessed the whole thing but was afraid to her father that is why she just kept quite.

Anna told Mang Augustin that Andrea was already death. Anna's father is pulling her outside the villa to escaped Mang Agusting killed Anna's father using a knife.

Anna was so afraid Andrea came to her. She told how it was losing someone and wanted to use the leading character's body to be able to hug her father but Anna was hesitated because she have to face death for Andrea to get her body.

Next scene, she sees her locket in the next the woman's statue in the side of the pool.Trying to get necklace the whole statue anf Anna fell in the pool. Again, she sees Andrea as the one get her body and a bad soul and her mother as the good soul.

Years after, Anna and Alex get married and Mang Agusting as theiw houseboy. Andrea inside the body of Anna.

The ending was it was Anna's turn to reclaimed her body.

That's all..

Small and Sickly and Stressed

Small i know im small. But they told me im cute(they just told me, again this is my blog i can everything).

Sickly, I became so sickly these past few weeks maybe because of lack of sleep and a clogging ears because of colds which is so typical with me that is why i hate colds. Colds kills me, the middle part between my jaws and ears ache. I guess i also got a slight fever and a lot of body ache. Still not feeling well. I guess my 2 days sick leave every Monday is enough. Monday sickness but no just sick i guess.

Stressed, always work issues. Since we are now few in our team, we just have to stick with the lousy schedule
to be able to accomodate the work. Maybe this is also one of the reason why i got sick these past few weeks until now.

Last Sunday, after work i was so sickly i almost vomit inside the bus but because of mind controlling i never did.

Thank GOD i got home in one piece.

At home, i just do my night routine got to sleep even my Nanay is pushing me to eat something. I wonder why when im sick i do not want to eat. I was so afraid to sleep that time because i afraid that i never be awake the next morning. Silly isnt it but that was i felt back then. The next morning, I ate around 3am and go back to sleep then around 9:30am go to the doctor.

Dr. Tan, the best doctor in town. Hope my doctor never mind if i say my thanks to him thru my blog. hahaha.

Found out that its just an allergy problem, a 30 day treatment. Worst of all, i got a flu shot. Why? I am afraid of injections. I felt i was a child when i got the shot because my Nanay and my doctor is very eager to give it to me. This is what happened, my Nanay told the doctor that i was commuting to work every single day so i needed protection so badly from A(N1H1). You know the scary air borne flu virus affecting almost fifteen thousand people around the world and killing almost 150 people. With that signal Dr. Tan opened his bag get the injection,anti flu liquid, cotton and alcohol. Put the liquid in the container and pour alcohol in the cotton. Put the cotton in my upper arm and without hesitation injected the anti flu at that part. I can even see my Nanay standing in her sit and i was thinking that she will hold me if i declined to be injected. See, is that a sweet thing my Nanay did to me. And ouch that cost me pain and 1,500 pesos. My arm was aching for almost 3 days.

Mind you, I think i have insomia eversince i got sick but i was happy i have overcomed it today. I almost drink all the milk in our ref and drink almost half of honey. hahaha.

But because of what happened I was able to appreciate my family so much.

I LOVE YOU MY FAMILY!! I GUESS I CAN DO EVERYTHING starting today to make you happy. I guess kisses, hugs and i love yous are not enough for me to show appreciation.

Next Attraction

Well, to start with, I watched the movie DRAG ME TO HELL last night.
With my office mate Alan, Chard and Kuya Renan.

Actually, it was really Alan's and my idea to watch a movie but definitely this was not the movie we first intended to watch, it was ANGELS and DEMONS back then. But due to some workaholic reasons i was not able to attend our first planned movie outing.hehehe.

Back to the topic, DRAG ME TO HELL directed by Sam Raimi, who is also the director of the Spiderman movie series and the producer of the Grudge series also.

The movie never scares me. Can i say that the movie was so lame?
When i first saw the movie trailer in the moviehouse, in youtube and in our TV set, i was really excited about it. Imagine we watch the movie in its first day showing. Can is say that Chard's 600 pesos all worth it?

I can say that the movie is really so gross. From the start of the movie until the end. Christine Brown(Alison Lohman) who works in a loan company and the cursed one ate almost everything. From Mrs Ganush's saliva and even the mud in the cemetry.

Christine was cursed because she never granted an extension on Mrs. Ganush's loan, who is a malevolent gypsy. I loved the part where Mrs. SlyviaGanush(Lorna Raver) told Christine that " I never begged for my whole life and this is the first time i did it and you shamed me", I hope i remembered the statement right. Those word really strucked me. What if those things happened to me where i have to live in the street because my house is foreclosure due to the loan i can not pay. Maybe i will also cursed the bank loan officer. Hahahaha. Just joking.

Back to the movie again.
How Christine was cursed? Using a button of her coat. Wait seems that im so groggy right now.
I'll better get some sleep and edit this later. hehhehe.

Well, again back to what im saying, about the movie.

The first scene was inside the loan company where Christine was working and she was talking to her boss, Mr Jacks(David Paymer) about the managerial position which she was aiming to get, so to cut off the story short, she just simply become the goody good girl to almost everyone in the story except for Mrs Ganush. Then the next sequence in the story was her boyfriend Clay Dalton(Justin Long who also played Darry Jenner[his head was ripped by the creepers] in Jeepers Creepers and also the voice of Alvin and the Chipmunks) talking to his mother about his ex-girlfriend and Christine over heared those things making her miserable. Then came my favorite scene where the first encountered with Mrs Ganush. At first, Mrs Ganush was so kind to Christine and the latter just pity the former about her miserable life, can i say that Mrs Ganush seems to be a bit weird and yucky..heheehe because of her saliva in her almost semi black false teeth she put in Christine's table while the latter is to talking to her boss about the loan. Well, eventually Christine never gave Mrs Ganush the loan that's why she was cursed. Next was in the parking area where the cursing take place if im going to type almost all this scene or i will be entering into a next topic of this blog.( This time is so enjoyable people inside the movie house are screaming... hahaha. Alan just commented that "Seems that they have alot of energy to burn bwahahaha.." . All i can say about this scene transport you in a scene of Shaolin Soccer.)

Christine just lost her consciousness and the next scene was of course she was reporting everything with a policemen then her boyfriend came. While she was walking home with his boyfriend they came into a fortune teller store where the met Rham Jas (Dileep Rao), greedy fortune teller i guess. Asking for a 100 dollars for his service. This time the charaters learned that a dark spirit was upon her.
At home, the house was a vintage, Christine was attacked by a Goat like monster who is so powerful yet invinsible. Who cut the power in her house, bruised her, pushed her, put her in the air and most specially ruined her room. This time around Clay is so supportive to her gf yet i think his thinking that shes crazy because of the trauma about the encouter with the gypsy.

Morning came, a fly just came in Christine nose while sees asleep and dreaming about Ganush attacking her again. Cough cough and cough, shes coughing. Ariving in the office with a sosy convertible car rented by Clay. At the office, Mr Jacks told Christine that her big transaction with a her client is doing well. Christine was quite a mess. Why? Because Mr Jacks' finger turn Mrs Ganush' s finger tapping her desk. Cough! Nosebleed! Seems that all Christine's blood just came out in her nose coating Mr Jacks(Hello Director, can you please lessen the blood next time maybe just a cup or glass but not a bucket..because it makes the movie lame).

Fleeing to work and decided going to Mrs Slyvia's house (i wonder where she get the address) where she met Ilenka Ganush( Bojana Novakovic) the gypsy's granddaughter this is the time where Christine learned that Slyvia just die the previous night. After knocking the coffin she was attacked by Ganush corpse and Ilenka just think that Christine deserves it.
Cursed one just went again to Rham. Rham just told her that it was a Lamia and she only got 3 days to be drag to hell and just need to offer a blood. She offer her poor kitty (its like a philippine cat we can see in the street which we often called Pusakal, short for Pusang Kalye)

Visiting her fabulous in laws while she was thinking that the cursed was already stopped but again the Lamia came to torment her. This time Rham told the couple about Shaun San Dena ( Adriana Barraza) who can help our lead actress, that the Shaun had a previous encounter with the demon but they should pay 10,000 dollars.

Christine decided to produced that huge amount of money until Clay decided to pay for her(i love you, Clay). Then, the next day Rham and Christine goes to the beautiful place of Shaun(10,000 worth of chandelier i guess). Just a normal scenarios of calling the anyone from down under. The Shaun dies because of that. Rham told Christine that this is not over yet and there was this idea giving gifts to the death. On her way to the cementry she encountered Mrs Ganush possessed handherchief which she ripped it in two.

The graveyard, Christine dugged the ground where Ms Ganush laid, give the white envelop containing the button in her mouth(I wonder if she didnt smell the fool odor) then it rains hard enough to fill out the dugged place that became a pool like mud and water. Having a hard to get off the muddy . I guess, this is the funniest part of the movie where she was struck by a big silver cross in the cemetery..hehehe(Again, If i will be the script writter i should let Clay saved her whoa.). But instead just a few minutes she just came back to life and manage to escaped the pool.

Next morning came, the couple decided to go out of town. She got a beautiful coat for the event. Till they met in the train station, actually i think Clay is proposing to her but to my dismay Clay give her the enveloped containing the button which was fell off in Clay's car last night. Scared or rather idiotic scene she went out of balance the ended in the railway and a train is fast approaching. The ground opened up and swallowed Christine. Poor Christine should i say.

Well, the movie got a lot of sound effect and mind you Reggie Lee (Chinese Filipino, who was known in the Phillipines about I think his role in Pirates of Caribbean)who also played as Stu Rubin Christine opponent to the managerial position and also the one who stoled the planned and papers about Christine's biggest loan transaction and the first person Christine decided give out the button but because she pity the man she never did it.

Hope my next movie synopsis is not that long. heeheh. Bare with me this time around.

Our ventilation just went off

Huhuhuhu.
The aircon just went out for 2 days now. With this kind of weather i hope that the aircon will be the last to go in our room. My Nanay has been contacting someone to fixed that aircon. And im hoping that its was just a simple problem else worst comes to worst we just have to buy a new one. That will cost us a lot of money.

Hay!!!
MONEY always money matters.. I thought love can make us alive according to a song but these past months its been all about the money. Hoping that one day people will realized that its not the money that is keeping us alive its the love for one other that makes this world go round and round. But i know that all of us, in our inner side think that its love and not the money that giving us the happiness in our lives but come to think of it our ways and deeds its always keeping us for not living LOVE but loving the money. Guess its just a human thing. Thinking that material things are the one that will make our loved ones happy. Well, I remember when i was young. Things are just simple, as a child your only concerns are like; what kind of pasalubong(this is usually a take out food) will my Nanay got for us? or what will i buy with my allowance in the canteen? and so on. So many petty things that will make a child smile.
I knew a friend who is taking pictures of her money, from Peso to Dollars to Euros. She will always make it a point that she will put all her money in the bed and take a picture of them before she spend every single penny of it but the weirdest part is posting it in her friendster account. Sweet...
Just remember that Jesus told us to live life as a child. Imagine all people living that way maybe we will be in the next Heaven. This is just my opinion in my own blog. Im not exempting myself on all of this issues i posted in this. People needs money to live but we have to consider if these things can make us happy. I'll always thought that we are responsible in our own happiness.

Hope ill be responsible too on my future in my OWN ways....

Im still excited in my future..

Seems that nowadays i was so excited about my future. For the last few months i do not have any plans yet all i want is to be stable but still do not know how? Why? becoz i was so busy thinking about my past. Still have to move on until i came and see a blog that opened up everything for me. Coz i was deceived and i was so ignorant about life then. But now im stronger much stronger than was before.

But now my future is waving back at me with so much color on it. I was so happy that i even try to scream out when i was inside the bathroom why again? because i never told my family about my future plans till all my plans come to life. Secretive no just im just realistic about it.

Got to go.. its dinner time already.. Maybe ill try to update this tommorrow.

Living my life as it was before?

Hmmmppp still thinking what to write?
Think ... Think... Think
Bwahhh... Where's my first writings just when out after i highlight everything...
Too naive of me...

I was thinking now to buy a new digicam for this blogsite but im was wondering where can i get the huge amount of money for me to be able to buy a nice one. hehehe. But im thinking the most if i will sent my CV to my agent for me to have a new job or i sent it to my college friend instead or will just wait for calls because i have updated my resume in http://jobstreet.com.ph or finish my contract with my existing company. I work as a contractual employee and deployed in one of the largest computer company in the Philippines. As a contractual employee i need to pay my company some of money if i will never finish my 1 year contract with them..

hay!!! decision making sucks a lot..

Im poor with it. Maybe someday ill be good.

But i still cannot resists my agent's offer but i was wondering if i will pass the interview got a lot of hoping that i will.

Hope after i finish eating my twin popsies (this is a joined popsicles ) i will also finish this entry hehehe. But twin popsies are too expensive nowadays. It was 25 pesos? What!!!?? When i was a child there was a time that me and my siblings was hooked up with it, its was only 5 pesos. I remember buying 2 to 3 twin popsies and finish all of them in one eating while hiding because im sure that if my siblings will find out that i have twin popsies they will asked me to give them a stick. too childish? hahaha.. BAD GIRL indeed.

Again, There was the sticks of my popsicles lying in the trash bin. Brrrppp.. Hope i can take a picture of it. Back of thinking of buying a new digicam just like what Momi Wends have. Its a Canon brand with 10 megapixels.
Im planning on buying a Sony cybershoot one but again to expensive for me. Should i use my credit card in buying? Hope i have a lot of money and learned how to be a thrifthy buyer instead a impulse buyer like i used to be. Got a lot hoping and praying this time around.

For me, to not experience rainy days again. hahaha.. Guess you are thinking that i spend my salary on such lame things. Well, your right and your wrong. First i spent a lot of it, in things that gives me energy, food. You think that im fat, well im not. Friends and families think that im thin they do not knew that i was eating drastically, a lot of oil and carbo and caffeine in take because of fast foods and junk foods plus a hot coffee addict. 2nd i spent them on materials things such as pants, t-shirt and many more. But sometimes when i become a impulse buyer i just buy without thinking if can i use it everyday. Did i told you that i watched the "CONFESSION OF A SHOPACHOLIC" for me to know if im really a shopaholic well im not again. I just brought a thing or two if im stressed out. Im paying my credits on time.
Got to park my pen. My Nanay needs my assistance. Till then.
