I am home

(from tumblr, april 4)

yesterday was my sabbath day. one pleasure of sabbath day is movie time! after 10 years, it was only yesterday that i took time to watch avatar. on a personal note, the story is just like the other ordinary sci-fi films. of course there is a BUT..it was excellently done!

the ending of the story caught me. how could jake exchanged his human identity to become a true na’vi? is it because in the land of pandora, his ambition to walk again became a reality? how could someone adapt a living in a strange land? i just could not imagine. that was a total surrender of the comfort zone!

ala’s blog has introduced me to a different meaning of home.

Home used to be a place. Now, home is person.

i get it. what a quick answer! jake fell in love with neytiri. the beauty of pandora is just secondary. he has found his new home. same with mine. sydney is one lovely city. i have personally experienced its magnificence. anyone can fall in love with it’s unique beauty and living here is one’s realization of a dream. but to enjoy it alone, it’s a different story. like jake, i have found my new home, who happens to be in sydney. i fell in love with cesar. now, home is person. cesar is my home.

though it means living in a foreign country, wherever cesar is, i am home.

“dy, i see you.”

The blind side

oh how i love saturdays! it's what i call my sabbath day. and for today, i have watched over filmhill the movie "the blind side". such an inspiring story. teary eyed ako while wacthing it. i asked myself, "when was the last time that i became a christian to somebody?"

i am grateful to God for giving me cesar, my family and friends to protect my blind side. and thank you Tatay for you are my ultimate defender!

here are some of the lines from the movie that i liked:

Beth: You're changing that boys life.
Leigh Anne Touhy: No, he's changing mine.

Leigh Anne Touhy: Now, y'all would guess that more often than not, the highest paid player on an NFL team is the quarterback. And you'd be right. What you probably don't know is that more often than not, the second highest paid player is, thanks to Lawrence Taylor, a left tackle. Because, as every housewife knows, the first check you write is for the mortgage, and the second is for the insurance. The left tackle's job is to protect the quarterback from what he can't see coming. To protect his blind side. 

very good job sandra! you deserve the best actress award.

'til next saturday!
