LOST

A year ago I downloaded LOST the tv series on my computer (I'm very sorry about this, I promise to buy the collectors edition $330+ *yeah!!* ((i roughly earn $500 a month, then deduct rent, utilities, need, etc.)) when I can afford it, Sorry ABC, Lost Actors and Actresses, Producers, Directors, Writers, Editors, Prop and Other Personnel and Personalities involved.)

I vaguely remember being able to watch a few Lost episodes years ago on our local cable provider, but it has not made any impact of excitement for me to continue watching. Maybe this is due to the fact that I have not watched the show from the beginning.

I writing this today because I am feeling very happy, empty, sad, emotional and even dreamed of a new season for Lost. I never imagined how deep my emotions were after watching the last few episodes of season six, where the main characters are dying very quickly. I read somewhere that it is better to just write something about it, to help me let go of this feeling. I even tried finding out what was the word for the way I feel after this series closed. Came up with the words nostalgic, bittersweet (in a good way). I was watching YouTube videos of everything Lost, the interviews, comic con panel, behind the scenes, bloopers, etc. I just cannot get over the series.

Lost was about mixing spirituality and science, love and hate, good and evil, past, present and future. Lost is about human nature how flawed we are and how we must accept it, learn from it and make something better out of it.

Relating to the environment, characters is really easy. I was a member of the scouting movement, I did enjoy nature at its best and worst. Same as what the cast and crew experience while filming the show. I am flawed and I could see my weakness and faults in the characters, which while watching the show made me realize that it is never too late to change my attitude towards life. How we should spend eternity enjoying, experiencing with what we have and the people we are with right now at this very moment while we are walking this earth. Because we want to have a good memory of what we have done. I mean people say when you die, everything flashes before your very eyes, I want to remember good memories.

Sayid had to sacrifice himself running to another part of the submarine to save the other candidates. He is my favorite character. :) although in real life I more to being the character of Hurley.

I cried during the dying moments of Jin and Sun, it was the saddest for me, I'm not the ideal husband and watching the two reunite after so long, made me happy and after that moment they drowned, but that was because Jin chose not to ever leave Sun.

I cried when Jack entered the church and everyone was there, it made me realize how much I wanted all my friends and family to be with me even in the afterlife.

I felt real sad when Jack was already moving through the bamboo forest lying down and what made me more emotional was Vincent came to his side, a man's best friend... Suddenly I also realized that Vincent will be alone, after a few hours of crying, well Hurley and Ben are still alive someone would still be able to take care of him. :)

Few things I learned from Lost:
Make this life worthwhile.
There are demons in our lives, we just have to acknowledge it then overcome it.

Either I keep writing what's on my mind or already stop thinking about this. If someone is reading this, thank you for your time. I hope I didn't spoil anything. 

Let Go, even if your Lost you will still find your way.

Basketball Blooper

Today was the craziest basketball 2 secs of my basketball life... Standing on the baseline waiting for the inbound pass. *stares blankly to my teammate* he passed me the ball, i catch it properly. looked to the right. see the open space. open shot to the rim. one dribble. jump. made sure of the shot. used the glass. rimless shot.


......


opponents say thanks. teammates stunned. referees even forgot to stop the game clock. scorer add 2 points... to the opponents score. OMG!!!! wrong rim.


after all the confusion. the referees call it a turnover. (turnover due to confusion). removed the 2 points from the opponent. gave possession to the opponent.

Felt like a real idiot for a minute. trying to realize whats wrong... blank stares...

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! that's life!!!! sorry no video or picture... just the moment...

YAO FAMILY vs ALTAVILLE no.29

Out of Service

Me and my officemates were invited to a restaurant opening at "by the bay" next to MOA. The strip of paluto, restaurant and bistros just in front of Manila Bay. It was set at around 5pm to enjoy the food and follow the sunset. Yet, as always in any party that I usually attend, it failed to start on time.

Enjoying the food, the laughter, and the company we soon part ways as it was already getting very late. I parked at the 5th level of the south side of MOA.

Taking the elevator to get there was surprisingly calm. Especially when the elevator went out of service at the third floor. For no reason whatsoever. The was no power fluctuation, everybody was just standing when it happened. And seriously everybody was calm. Except for the elevator operator which didn't even know that were on the "east side" (which actually made me think about a compass, to just find out if we were on the east or the west side) of the south building, and kept saying "wag po kayo mag alala ma'am. which obviously was only looking at the pretty girl (mom na) in front of us. and kept on saying that like 3 times already. The funny thing is he was instructed to turn off everything and start all over. He literally turned of everything except for pressing the red reset button, just flipping the 9 switches(killing the lights, fan, and i don't know about the rest). Luckily outside help was able to open the elevator door and got us out. It was a really boring 5 minutes. Nakatitig nalang ako dun sa Krispy Kream at Beard Papas nung hawak ng mag asawa.

Oh well at least naka labas, kundi ubus ung binaon nila dahil sa gutom namin lahat. =)
