Feelin’ good
The title of this post pretty much describes the state that im in right now. Never felt so good in quite a long time. I just recently celebrated my birthday last august 14 and im 23 but still the same old me. I just celebrated my bday with my whole family at my aunt’s place. I haven’t hang-out with them for quite while now due to work so it really feels good spendin’ some quality time with them. It was just a simple celebration over lunch. But I still can’t believe that im freakin’ 23 years old already?!
As compared to my bday last year this year was wwwaaayyyy better for a whole lot of reasons. Mainly bcoz this year I’m no longer in a state of depression. Now I can laugh my hearts out and smile. Simply put I no longer in an “emo” state. Nothing special happened though but still its all good.
As a treat for myself I watched “Evan Almighty” and here’s what I think about it…
Movie Review: “Evan Almighty”
Jim Carrey…Adam Sandler…Rob Schneider...Ben Stiller and then there’s Steve Carrell. I believe that these guys would have to be the best comediennes of our time (well, for me at least) and Steve’s got to be included in this list. Im not a big fan of his though, I haven’t seen his big hit “40 yr old virgin” or watched his television shows but still he sure made me laugh in his last endeavor “Evan Almighty”.
The movie is sort of a sequel/spin-off of the first film “Bruce Almighty” wherein God chose Evan Baxter, a news anchor to build him an ark. It’s a Noah’s ark adaptation in modern time. I liked how the story was presented, as to how it was incorporated in our time. Though it was presented as a comedy it still didn’t deviate from the original story. It’s funny seeing how God convinced Evan to do the ark and how the animals flock him. I can’t even remember how many times I laughed; the movie from start to finish was really hilarious. Steve’s acting was superb and the way he delivers is really funny.
The movie was not all about fun it also has some sense in it. It shows the value of faith and love for your family. I liked the part wherein God was convincing Evan’s wife to go back and help her husband. He was explaining as to how our prayers are being answered. I don’t know if these were those exact words but it was like; “if you ask God for patience he wont give it to you but he would give you the opportunity to be patient; if you ask God for courage he want make you brave but he would give you the opportunity to be one…” and it bought sense to me. If God would answer our prayers he wouldn’t give it to us directly but he would give us the opportunity to have our prayers answered. Like for instance love, for sure most of us have asked for this yet we still looked and searched for true love but to no avail. God knows who’s best for us and when that person arrives for sure he would give us that sign or opportunity to love and be love. Another good point from the movie is how we could change the world. Its simple…A Random Kindness or ARK coz if we treat each and every one kindly the world for sure would be a better place to live in.
It was my first time doin’ a review for a comedy and I have nothing but praises for this film. It’s not a heartwarming story which usually makes you cry but its more of a feel good movie which not only makes you laugh but also enlightens you about a thing or two. You wouldn’t miss out on anything if you don’t see this film but you wouldn’t have any regrets if you do.
We sure do need to laugh sometimes.
Rating: 4/5

Fall Out Boy is performing this month at the Araneta Coliseum. I thought I’d never get to see them live coz their initial play date was sold out but thank God another concert date was announced. I just bought my ticket for their Sept. 20 concert and man, am I excited to see them play live. I’m really a big fan and I wouldn’t miss out on this once in a lifetime chance of seeing them play. I saw Good Charlotte’s concert 2 years ago and I had a blast (even by lonesome) and this year im thankful that im able to go out with two of my friends. Its still a few weeks before the concert and I’ve already uploaded all my F.O.B. songs into my mp3 player. That just shows how excited im for the concert. See you at the show.
