excerpts from honey and clover

a long time ago my sister recommended me
the jdrama called Honey and Clover she told me to
watch it did but i only watch the first and second
episode.....i think!?! but there's this line and
scene that really struck me
this is how it goes...

they were buying some stuffs then they bump into
a crane game...

this is how a crane game looks like

then the girl liked something inside it, the guy
insisted and tried to get it, eventually he got
one but it's not what the girl was eyeing for so she
said this line

" that game was really tormenting....
Because what you want is right in front
of you but you still can't get it..."

the guy answered

" yeah cause in this world not everyone can get
what they want."

the girl said:

"cause quantity is limited"

i don't know why but this lines struck me so much
that it still remains in my mind until now....

it hurts to think that something you badly want is just an
inch away from you but you still can't grab it cause
it's not for you, no matter how you try you can't
have it cause cause quantity is limited, maybe someone
came first with a strong will and when it was
your turn it was gone...

it's been a while

Ang Huling Kalbaryo..Mt.Banahaw

Friday, October 17, 2008

Last monday was our outbound then tuesday
we didn't have any classes well that's
reasonable cause if your not into hiking
and trekking like me your body will ache
and that's what happened to me, my body was
aching for 2 days it's so hard to go up and
down stairs and even though we had one day rest
still my classmates and i are complaining about
different parts of our body aching....

As they say Mount Banahaw is a big church many
people go their and pay pilgrimage to the place
it's a holy mountain!!

here are some pictures

we went to Sta Lucia falls before we got there we took about
250-300 steps that's kinda tiring....but worth it!!!

the whole class saying prayers

we thought that 250-300 steps were kinda hard but it's nothing
compared to climbing/walking the "kalbaryo" from the word itself it's
a real Calvary!!!

here's some pictures..

going up was super tiring i got really tired not only that
we still have to go down after few minutes of rest this i can
say is the most tiring part of the trip!!!

at the peak..

the VIEW..

having this very beautiful view just imagine how high
the mountain was just imagine us walking,trekking,climbing for
about 2-3 hours.....that's high...

The cross..

other pictures have not been uploaded so I'll just update!!

I'm not gonna forget the Husgado Cave it' a small cave
that only one person at a time can enter... it is said that
when you enter the cave and went out w/out any scar your
7 year of sins are forgiven

fortunately i got out just fine!!

sadly i don't have any pictures cause you
seriously cannot take any pictures inside..

overall my last outbound was really the hardest and the most
adventurous it's fun, tiring, educational and spiritual a
good way to learn new things...

A & D review part 2

it's sad that Vatican did'nt allow it to be shot
in that place..

here's the article

The Vatican has banned the makers of a prequel to The Da Vinci Code from filming in its grounds or any church in Rome, describing the work as “an offence against God”.

Angels and Demons, the latest Dan Brown thriller to be turned into a film, includes key episodes that take place in the Vatican and Rome’s churches. Archbishop Velasio De Paolis, the head of the Vatican’s Prefecture for Economic Affairs, said that Brown had “turned the gospels upside down to poison the faith”.

“It would be unacceptable to transform churches into film sets so that his blasphemous novels can be made into films in the name of business,” he said, adding that Brown’s work “wounds common religious feelings”.

Father Marco Fibbi, a spokesman for the Diocese of Rome, said: “Normally we read the script but this time it was not necessary. The name Dan Brown was enough.”

The Vatican fiercely condemned The Da Vinci Code novel and its film version, which starred Tom Hanks as the Harvard professor Robert Langdon. Hanks is also starring in Angels and Demons, which like The Da Vinci Code, is directed by Ron Howard.

Published before The Da Vinci Code, which suggested that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children, Angels and Demons revolves around a plot by a sinister elite known as the Illuminati to install their candidate as Pope and blow up the Vatican. Crucial scenes are set in the Vatican and two Rome churches — Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria. In both churches, cardinals are murdered and mutilated with mysterious marks and symbols. Father Antonio Truda, parish priest at Santa Maria del Popolo, said that there was no question of allowing scenes to be shot there. “It’s bad enough having to put up with tour guides explaining the scene to tourists,” he said.

The production team is set to recreate on a set in Hollywood the interiors of the Rome churches from which they are banned.

Vatican officials said they had been unable to prevent the film-makers from shooting exterior shots of St Peter’s and the surrounding medieval streets of the Borgo, with the permission of the borough council.

However, the film-makers are having to use the marble halls and staircases of the former royal palace at Caserta, near Naples, to double for Vatican interiors.

“When a film is about the saints or about stories regarding the Church’s artistic values, then we give permission without any doubts,” Father Fibbi told the TV listings magazine Sorrisi e Canzoni (Smiles and Songs). “But when it is a question of content which does not relate to traditional religious criteria, then our doors are closed.”

that's so sad if i were Dan Brown i would rather not
make it into a movie cause the whole story revolves
around Rome,Vatican,churches... how could they portray
the movie without that. You cannot replace the pieces
of artworks mentioned in the story with artificial ones.
One of the things that makes the story interesting are
the places itself..

how's that??

for sure another book will not be justified by the movie.

as they say "Don't judge the book by it's movie!"

Angels and Demons

Dan Brown's work..

Never really read the "The Vinci Code"
since i don't want to have any doubts
about my faith upon reading it... but
ive watched the movie though not the
whole movie i just watch the latter part
of it,so i can't really make a comment
about that book/movie.

But Ive read Angels and Demons and i have
to admit Dan Brown is a genius!

He so good that thou it's a fiction book you
will think it might have happened in real
life..

I really liked the solid fussion of FICTION and
FACT

i also like other informations i got about the
art history, science and the church

it took me to a lot of places in ROME

The informations were so precise and detailed
that you will believe it.

another thing about the book i like is thorough
discussion of the centuries fight over who's
right the CHURCH or SCIENCE?

it gave both sides view...

i wanted to put up some excerpts
of the part were the chamberlain/
Camerlengo set a press conference to admit that
in deed theres a threat against the Church
which is a science society called Illuminati but it's
to long.

It's really good overall this book does not condemn
the church nor science instead makes us aware that
still the fight continues over who's right?!?
the CHURCH OR SCIENCE?

The symbols used in the book were so good it's seems
really true..

and take note for a person to write this kind of
book and to now all those things about Rome it must've
been a hell research..

OutBound

Our outbound is sorta like a field trip
but not really it's more of nature trippingin a different place....

It's very tiring thou rewarding....

you'll have to walk for miles and get muddy
go to different caves and learn about the
place history....before you can walk out..

it feels so good
at least i can say that i've done hiking,
trekking, caving etc...

this year's the last,most memorable and
hardest one...

im gonna post pics after our outbound next
monday

heres a pic after the hiking and trekking we
had last year...

Hagardness...
