Madalas nalalaman mo lang kung gaano mo siya kamahal pag wala na siya sayo.
And when you lose that person, you lose a part of yourself too.
Umaasa ka na lang na sa paglipas ng panahon, maibabalik mo kung ano ang nawala sayo.
O kung hindi na maibabalik ang dati babaguhin nalang ng panahong ang lahat ng bagay.
Pero bakit parang hindi binabago ng panahon ang puso mo?
Bakit kahit kung alam mong tapos na ang lahat pilit mong binabalikan yung simula?
At lagi mong tinatanong, pa'no kaya kung mas minahal mo siya? Pa'no kaya kung hindi mo nalang siya
minahal?
Pa'no kaya kung hindi nalang kayo nagkakilala, para mabura nalang sya sa alaala mo?"
- Allan Alvarez (Miss You Like Crazy)
'Miss You Like Crazy' is a 'ferry tale love story' between Allan Alvarez (John Lloyd Cruz) and Mia Samonte (Bea Alonzo). The two strangers met on a ferry boat, unified actually by a stone. Yes, a stone! Mia, one of the passengers of the boat, was tired and exhausted from work and her ambiguous family. She expressed her pain and hurt by writing them on stones. Allan Alvarez, who was actually seen her lot of times and her stones was attentively watching Mia and her stuffs. One time, Mia consciously left her stone with mournful writings on it, and Allan picked it up. Allan thought she was in suicidal tendency so he interfered with Mia. That's the time they've known each other.

PUP Sta. Mesa is now celebrating it's 109 years of Excellence. In
connection to this, we featured movies related to the celebration of our
Sintang Paaralan. So I'm proud to present you a movie which is exclusively directed by my co-PUPian, Mr. Hector Barreto Calma. He also won two major awards: Best Editing and Best Supporting Actor for this movie.
The film “Kidnap” is one of the Two entries from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines that bagged
several major awards in the recently concluded 2nd PNP Film Festival last
August 7, 2012 at the AFP Theater, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
Set in the
city of Metro Manila, the story tells a lot about the plight of some of our
unfortunate brethren living in the most impoverished and trying circumstances
of life.
Actor Mon Confiado perfectly breathed life to and
undoubtedly sustained such an enigmatic character that solicits so much awe and
unperturbed emotional engagements from his viewers.
Kidnap
is a story of a taxi driver gradually becomes a criminal. Sam, played
by Mr. Mon Confiado, who loves his son so much was framed up by a
kidnapper.
PUP Sta. Mesa is known for a Political School. Compare to some school, PUP students are aware for what is going on in our society, specifically for its student activism that honestly, makes me ashamed for it sometimes. This school also has a limited budget so that our facilities is not satisfying one's.
Yet as time passed by, my disappointments turn to pride.
There are many things that i must be pride of such as broke the record of World's Largest Human Rainbow. PUP formed the human
rainbow to celebrate the university's centennial.
Producing outstanding students
inspite of the lack of budget and facilities.

It only a mirror of Filipino idiom, " Ang Kahirapan ay di hadlang sa tagumpay.
And in connection to the movie (Kidnap ) and from that information I read about PUP, I realized that no matter life seems so unfair, still we will continue to fight. Hindi ibig sabihin nahihirapan ka, susuko ka na. Hindi ibig sabihin kulang ka, hihinto ka na.
At iyan ang pinatunayan ng aking Sintang Paaralan, kapwa ko PUPians,kaya from this I'm proud to say, "I am a PUPian. "
David Mills: Murderers, John, like yourself? John Doe: [interrupts] A woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this s**tty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever.
It was one of the most memorable lines in the mind puzzling psychological
film, ‘Se7en’. Starring with the Hollywood’s finest actors, Brad Pitt, Morgan
Freeman, Kevin Spacey and Gwyneth Paltrow, written by Andrew Kevin Walker and
directed by David Fincher, it definitely rocked the cinemas in the year 1995. It
was one of the best crime movie I had ever watched, aside from the films Zodiac
(2007) and The Bone Collector (1999). It left
every audience a thrill on their hearts and I am pretty sure the film was tattooed
on their minds as well.
The story was all about two detectives, Detective Lt.
William Somerset, the veteran one, and Detective David Mills, a rookie and a
newly transferred detective. The duo will investigate on the series of murders
in their town and they will try to capture the infamous serial killer.
The film was actually inspired by ‘Seven Deadly Sins’, which
was written in the various passages in the Bible. The seven deadly sins include
pride, lust, wrath, envy, gluttony, greed and sloth. Every victim in the film characterizes
one of the seven deadly sins, and it’s the prime basis of the serial killer,
John Doe, on who is going to be on his murder list.
The crime was designed according to what sin he was into. The
first on his list was the ‘Fat Man’, the one who barely walk due to his massive
weight. The cause of the death is too much eating, until he had internal hemorrhage
and hematoma. You can have the direct link of his sin to Gluttony.
Second one is a lawyer, the one who lords the money by lying
in the court with all of his breath to give freedom to rapists and murderers. And that sum up to the sin, Greed.
Other Sins and Murders:
PRIDE
The victim had her nose sliced off and a bottle of tranquilizers glued to the palm of one hand, and a phone to the other, she seemingly chose suicide over calling for help, because of her pride in her former appearance.
SLOTH
A man was shock after coming out of some kind of chemically induced coma that has kept him immobilized in bed for exactly one year.
LUST
The victim is knifed to death by her (sex trade) client wearing some sort of lethal strap-on device, while a gun is pointed at his head.
The film was intended to be dark that you can actually feel
the eerie atmosphere as you watch the film.
The rain and the architecture of the environment gave its audiences creeps
and chills which technically added texture to the film. The killer’s brutish
and violent way of killing is actually a kind of teaching, or rather, according
to Detective Somerset, “He’s preaching.” Yes, the killer’s killings are actually lessons he want to share to the world. It feels like at some point on his life,
he wants to change the world in a way that everyone will definitely remember, and
it is the art on his murders.
What’s in the Box?
The ‘What’s in the Box’ Scene was definitely one of the most
unforgettable scene in the history of all films. For me it’s a classic, we are
stunned and inquisitive at its best, for it’s like the world we lived in
momentarily lost its oxygen, that we need to gasp air with our earnest.
In most crime films and novels, the ending was fairy tale. I meant
there’s happy ending like the protagonists captured the killer, or the murderer
was killed by the central character, and then ta-dah! Happy ending. But this
particular film, they changed the generic way of finale and it’s pretty unpredictable.
This is what I love about ‘Se7en’; it can daze an audience on each and every
scene throughout the film. And even after the audience watched film, they will
tend to think and think and think on how spectacular it was.
All
of us are facing different giants in life. It could be giants of problems in
the family, in school, in work place, or in the society we live in.
Admit it or not, when tough times come, we
choose to run rather than to face it. This movie will absolutely inspire you
and help you to deal with your giants. But first, let me tell you the story.
Plot
summary
How to
face your giants?
1.Know
your giants
In the movie, before they determine the
problem of the team, they first identify and solve the problem within
themselves.
Like what did. He realized that lack of purpose
is the problem as well as his foot ball team attitudes.
2.Know
the purpose
Every trial has its own reason and
purpose. Search for it and focus on what is good.
3.Stretch
your strength
Develop your talents, abilities, and
skills at the highest level

4.Turn
your weakness into strength
ØAll of us had its own weaknesses.
David, the team kicker, had a many insecurities. He always says he is weak and
small. But when he trusted God, that God can turn his weakness into strength,
he make up the things he can’t believe that he can do.
5.From
fear to faith
Face your fears, worries,
and anxieties with confidence that you can do it by trusting God as the movie
portrays
"Whatever the
problem in life is... just say to yourself 'Aal Izz Well', this won’t solve
your problems but it will give the courage to face it.."
"Chase Excellence
and success will follow"
" Life is not
about getting marks, grades but chasing your dreams"
These are the golden
rules which 3 IDIOTS taught me as I was watching this movie. These are just some
of the famous lines in this hilarious yet very inspiring movie that anyone can
surely relate their selves into it, especially those college students out there.
This movie made me laugh and in the process I learned many golden rules which I
can use as my motivation in my college life.
*****
Here’s a brief
summary of the movie which I would like to share to you.
Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) and Ranchhordas Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three students who share a room in the
residence of the fictional Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). Farhan is
studying engineering to pursue his father's wishes, over his own passion for
wildlife photography. Raju is studying to get his family out of poverty. On the
other hand, Ranchho studies for his simple passion in machines. Rancho believes
that one should follow excellence, not success, as success will take care of
itself if excellence is followed.
Farhan Qureshi: forced by his father to take engineering, but photography is what he really wanted.
Ranchhordas Shyamaldas Chanchad: He's the great man in this movie who played a very serious role in the life of his two friends.
Raju Rastogi: A god-fearing boy that depends his life to his charms and rituals but then turned away from it. How he was changed? Watch the movie, it's great!
Dr. Virus. Have the guts to watch how he screwed them all.
*****
However, this
different approach is sneered upon by the college director, Dr. Viru
"Virus" Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani). Virus's favourite student, Chatur Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya), known by the ICE community as
"Silencer", believes in mindless memorizing over understanding in
order to reach his goals of corporate status. Raju, who is initially annoyed by
Rancho's methods, moves in with Chatur, where he fares worse. In order
to impress Virus on Teachers' Day, Chatur, writes a speech in pure Hindi which
he will memorize to deliver on stage but Rancho had secretly changed a few words.
When Chatur was delivering the speech, it became so ridicule that it pissed of Dr.
Virus and the other heads. Highly insulted and driven to vengeance, he swears
retaliation and bets that he will become more successful with his methods than
Rancho.
*****
Here's the scene when Dr. Virus was introduce in the movie and how Rancho throw out his wit to him with a question that he didn't even dare to answer.
Here's how Chatur made his very intelligent yet ridiculous speech.
*****
This story is framed as intermittentflashbacksfrom the present day, ten years after
Chatur vowed that he'd become more successful than Rancho. Chatur, who now
boasts of his wealth and his bright career with an American company, is eager
to rub it in Rancho's face. Raju and Farhan have tried to find Rancho for five
years with no results. With Chatur's help, they travel to the Chhanchad estate
inShimla, where they find a
completely different man: the real Ranchhoddas Chhanchad (Jaaved
Jaffrey). Breaking in to the estate after the real Rancho's father's
funeral service, they coerce him into revealing the truth. The real Rancho
tells them that their friend was an orphaned servant boy called Chhote who
loved learning, unlike the real him. After seeing Chhote's intelligence,
Rancho's father arranged for the servant boy to go to college and earn a degree
in Rancho's name with the real Rancho going to London for college too. After he
reveals that he would pocket the qualifications and the benefits thereof while
their friend would cut contact with the world to start a new life after earning
a degree, he says that he is now a schoolteacher in Ladakh.
Here's a sample how Rancho saved his friends and made me laugh hard.
This is how teaching must be done, the Rancho's way of teaching life.
This clip shows how Rancho did really affect and change the life of Farhan and Raju, very inspirational.
*****
On the way, the three rescue Pia from an unhappy wedding, over
Chatur's objections. He wants to get the trip finished quickly, because he is
in a hurry to seal a business deal with Phunsukh Wangdu, a world-class
scientist with hundreds of patents. In Ladakh, Raju and Farhan find the
schoolchildren working with gadgets that are obviously inspired by
Rancho/Chhote's ingenuity, and learn from an old acquaintance MM that their
friend has all of Farhan's photography/research books, reads Raju's engineering
blog every day, and kept Pia's helmet. The three friends reunite and Pia and
Rancho/Chhote rekindle their love, while Chatur mocks his rival and makes him
sign a "declaration of defeat". When Rancho/Chhote reveals his true
name, Phunsukh Wangdu, a mortified Chatur accepts his own defeat and pleads with
Phunsukh to forgive him and accept his company's contract. Phunsukh, Pia,
Farhan and Raju run laughing into the distance as Chatur begs him to sign the
contract and save Chatur's job.
Here is the last minutes of the movie that proved Chatur is still the biggest looser of them all.
Pia: Virus' daughter, ought to marry a 'price tag' man according to Rancho, but ended up marrying one of the Idiots. Want to know who was that idiot? I'm telling you, watch it or else you will going to miss half of your life. I'm not kidding.
When everything else seems to be falling out of their places, don't panic, remember what these 3 idiots taught you, just shout...
ALL IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to thank these sites from where I took my movie plot, the pictures and the videos: Wikipedia.com, Google images, Youtube.com, THANK YOU.
