Finally, In My Life

inmylife-bannerThe wait is finally over! I saw the much awaited movie of the year. In My Life stars Vilma Santos, John Lloyd Cruz and Luis Manzano.

I saw the movie on its first day of screening last night and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It’s like watching my mom, who by the way is an avid fan, acting on the screen with JLC and Luis <lol>. Too many sweet moments and teary-eyed scenes.

I thought it was an experience worth sharing and telling everyone how moving the story was. I must admit, while watching this film, I missed the feelings brought about by past relationships, but it was such an inspiring movie that transcends hope and the natural excitement for change.

Thought of the Day

Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.

Joshi’s Holistic Detox

41WX7DEBV3L__SS500_I chanced upon this book sometime in Aug 2009 and immediately, I grabbed it and took it home. Within a week I finished reading the book and helped me plan out my diet program. This is the kind of book that is very easy to read. It emphasizes the process of understanding why we need to undo the wrong eating habits and replace it with better eating lifestyle. I have read through it from Introduction to its delicious recipes. I got this copy from Fully Booked in Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City. You can also check several book reviews and alot of testimonials (in www.amazon.com) both from celebrities and non-celebrities alike who have tried and tested the “21 days to a healthier slimmer you – for life”. This book is written by Nish Joshi with Jane Slade in 2005. You may also browse his website at http://www.thejoshiclinic.com/index.php.

Happy reading!
