The storytelling is masterful and I must say that just like Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinkerbell et al, this story made me believe that I almost flew.

I'm exaggerating, of course.

The little girl who goes by the name of Abby is Brooklyn Rae Silzer, who, by the way, looks like my cousin, Kelly Lumanlan-Soriano when she was that age.  She made me fall in love with her that I wouldn't mind adopting someone her age and still love her as my own daughter or son.  Well, even long before meeting Abby, I did not mind taking someone under my wing and care for that someone as my own.  I have borrowed daughters, but it would be lovely to have someone who would call me mom in the true and legal sense of the word.  Abby made me long to have a child who needs love and affection more.  I am still praying about it until now.

I don't remember donating my eggs to research, but I dreamt several times that someone out there became a surrogate of my child or children.  Silly dream.

Music by Michael Reola
Written by Rachel Noll and Joe Crump
Directed by Joe Crump
Cassidy Mack, who plays Jen, is perfect for her role as someone who feels unloved and is grieving for the loss of the only person who loved her.

 I think I get why Samantha Colburn was chosen to play Maggie.  Besides "delivering", she also had this charm that could transcend to higher heights, if she wanted to.  When she started to let go and lessen her guilt even just a bit, she became so beautiful that somebody like John Griffin longed for her more and wonder how long he would have to wait.

 Speaking of John Griffin, James Snyder is perfect for the role, musically and visually.  He also acts well, plus that killer smile could melt anyone's heart.

 Constance Towers has always been a true thespian and in this movie, she did not disappoint.  She's perfect as Rosemary.

 Need I say more?

EX with BENEFITS (2015) R-13

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et ce...

Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(a...

When The Love Is Gone (Graded A by the Film Ratings Board) R-13 Romance/Drama- 2013

Official Trailer When I heard Alice Dixson utter the classic infamous line, "Nandiyan ba ang asawa ko, na asawa mo, na asawa ng buong bayan?" in the trailer of WHEN THE LOVE HAS GONE,  I said to myself, "Wait, I've heard that line before!" Or something to that effect.  I was not wrong.  Something similar to those lines were uttered by Laurice Guillen as Delza in NAGALIT ANG BUWAN SA HABA NG GABI (click to read the story written and directed by Danny L. Zialcita...Since the blogger doesn't know the name of the actor who played Antonio Almeda aka UP Boy, I'll tell you that his name is Tommy Alvarado)---more below Alice Dixson, Gabby Concepcion, Cristine Reyes, Andi Eigenmann and Jake Cuenca Source Except for the very long title(in terms of syllables), the movie this one was based on, is very beautiful.  When Janice de Belen played the role of Jenny, I felt her pain...her agony. All of the members of cast f...
