“The Time Traveler’s” Wife Coming to ABC as a Series?

i wonder when it will be shown here in CDO. I’ll be waiting.

regarding my life, we’re currently preparing for Intrams and for the 2nd Philippines Nursing Students Association debate which will happen on September and this Saturday, August 29 respectively.

We trained with the Debate Circle this morning and I still need so much to improve on. But I’m working on it. I still need to read articles and laws and bills and rights and the list goes on.

We’ll be in the DR area next week. I’m excited and anxious but I’ll do my best. I’ll head out now, I have to review for a Psychiatric test tomorrow.

Oh yeah, notice how they spelled Clare’s name wrong in the icon? i did. Che, I want Henry back! :p

what Ingrid couldn’t have..

Ingrid Carmichel 7/19

And she writhed in pain,
unable to compensate the losses
she bathed in red, consumed whole by her flaws.

He had to leave her
and all that was left of them nowhere
she wasn’t who he was–she wasn’t Clare

time

The presence of time can incur so much chaos and gratifying peace; no rush, no order, no pressure and no sense. And yet the sea would have long been dry had the waves stopped rushing to the shore, and all of marine life would have died, causing a great deal of imbalance in the ecologic food cycle.

Time, according to Aristotle, is only a wide set of motions at different intervals of space. And yet Paulo Coelho believes that time does not exist. Maybe because he thinks, as I do sometimes, that it is only an excuse to quantify our actions, to measure our every movement and to keep score of the consequences to prevent falling into oblivion and nothing else. Time is the indicator of a lifespan, of a person’s countless days and nights contemplating on death; a powerful being that limits or expands our talents and skills; and the one bully that pushes the words out of our mouths, our thoughts into our hands, our emotions unto gestures, and our thirst unto desperation.

Whoever invented the sundial was a freak and a genius; he never would have thought of the consequences a ‘tick-tock’ sound would bring.

Anyway, here are two great films related to time. I was obsessed with Audrey Neffenegger’s “Time traveler’s wife” novel and I’m awaiting the release of the movie starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams this August 14. “Somewhere in time” on the other hand, stars Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, and I saw the movie and in dire need of a copy of the novel. The soundtracks are meshing in my head.

Here are the trailers. I honestly think Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) is Henry DeTamble’s (Eric Bana) grandfather.
