Writers Store:Story Mapping the Films of Christopher Nolan


I have more or less than 12 hours to decide whether I'll join the webinar presented by Writers Store and it looks like I'll be missing this opportunity since I had recently ordered Story Cards from Writers Store before the Christmas holidays and well, the shipping cost (even if I expected it, was quite costly).  The package hasn't arrived yet. I've seen the tracking list and the package was just several towns away from me. lolz  So close! I hope the package will reach me by January 2 because I'll be leaving for my cousin's wedding.  :)

Oh, I want to check out this webinar! :D

Music Monday: The Brewer Boys - Christmas Song/Mistletoe (Cover)

                 

It's still December so the carols go ever on. :D A friend of mine posted several months ago about The Brewer Boys visit to Manila and I also think I've heard this rendition played on the radio too.

Saturday's Photo Hunt

Today, a different turn of photo hunt was suggested and I think it's a great challenge. This time around each week, we'll be presented a photo theme and the picture will answer the current photo theme. Easy? Let's see how I'll fare in the next few weeks. Haha

Theme for today is gathering. Others can be seen here.

Skywatch Friday

For other snapshots visit here.
The moon was bright last night
I love the blues that translated into this capture and the way the tree branches reached out to the moon. The caretaker of our neighbor from across the street must have been wagging his head in puzzlement, why I was taking a pic of the moon. Hey, it was a beautiful night. :D

My attempt using a different setting
The moon just sent a streak of light to the heavens :D

Once Upon Time Fans: Caption This : My Take :D

Evil Regina

I had the chance to catch one of these "Caption This" pics lately (and I'll post the one from NatGeo   once I find my answer to it. I should saved it earlier. Oh, well.)

If you have been following the series, we are getting more and more into Regina's motivation why she was plotting havoc to people in Storybrooke while at the same time trying to atone for her misdeeds in between. Hmm, something might crack along the way.....

Once Upon A Time Fans Facebook page posted this pic above and you'll find some funny captions there too. I wanted to join in the fun so I wrote this:

Cue ominous/ heart-gut music
"I've sealed my fate to the choices I made then so be it, not one will have a happy ending."

Ruby Red Tuesday: Happy Holidays!



Happy Holidays to Everyone! 


The Nativity at the Plaza

Beautiful Poinsettias in a Christmas tree fashion at a garden center

I would like an array of Poinsettias arranged that way but somehow our area at home is a hot spot for aphids. :(  For other Ruby Ready Tuesday, visit here.

Music Monday: After All It's Christmas by a1


I hope somewhere down the line, they'll release a Christmas compilation. This B-side was from "Another Year Gone," a winter edition to "Waiting For Daylight" album for Norway release.  While I was listening to this, I had Hallmark movies scenes in my mind and in fact, I even thought of an idea for a music video too. :D

"After All It's Christmas
by a1
I feel the joy in this Christmas time
But something's missing in this heart of mine
The choir sings that the season's here
I always miss you this time of year

It's crowded out in Trafalgar Square
But it feels so empty when you're not there
They're all waiting for snow to fall
But I'm just waiting for a miracle

Left my heart underneath the tree I believe
After all it's Christmas
Pray the lights lead you back to me
I believe after all it's Christmas Oh, Oh
I believe after all it's Christmas Oh, Oh
I believe after all it's Christmas time

If New Year comes and my gifts still there
The lights come down and the tree is bare
I'll keep it wrapped 'til December when
I'll place it under the tree again

I left my heart underneath the tree
I believe after all it's Christmas
Pray the lights lead you back to me

I believe after all it's Christmas Oh, Oh
I believe after all it's Christmas Oh, Oh
I believe after all it's Christmas time

Christmas morning finally
I run down stairs excitedly
Then to my surprise
I see the greatest gift in front of me

You left your heart underneath the tree
I believe after all it's Christmas
I guess the lights led you back to me
I believe after all it's Christmas oh, oh
I believe after all it's Christmas oh, oh
I believe after all it's Christmas oh, oh

You left your heart underneath the tree
I believe after all it's Christmas
I guess the lights led you back to me
I believe after all it's Christmas oh, oh
I believe after all it's Christmas oh, oh
I believe after all it's Christmas time

Music Monday: Between The Raindrops by Lifehouse ft. Natasha Bedingfield

I've been searching for this song since it was aired around last week on radio but the radio dj didn't add the artist's name fortunately, the voices were familiar and 'lo!

On my way back from Lapu-Lapu Shrine (pictures to come soon), we passed by International Academy of Film and Television (IAFT) and BigFoot Studios.
