Nostalgic, my colleague was playing songs from the original sound track of this Disney movie Hercules. I kept on saying "I know the songs back when I was younger and I could even sing with it back then.". I really love this movie since it portrayed a story of being a hero from being zero. I too am a zero and am hoping that someday, though not here and not at the moment, be a somebody that everybody would be proud of.

Disney musics are indeed very creative as this movie is another evidence of their non-dying musicals. The songs added a significant effect to the mood of the movie since its music range from being joyful to being extravagant. The music is never of no relevance and the songs do complement the messages that the writer would like to convey the audience. There was never a boring sound in this movie and I can say Disney is indeed a trademark of grandiose music and a magnificent musicality.

The story line of the movie involves the fall of Hercules as was turned into a human when he was just a baby. He lost his immortality and the claim of the throne, but it is a start of an even greater honor which would lead him to a more challenging adventures. Meeting new friends along the way, a city where he will be praised for his heroic acts and a lovely damsel in distress that would soon become his love affair. The transition of being a zero to a hero is very typical but Disney has indeed made it very interesting to eyes of the viewers that even adults could enjoy and get a lesson with.

The animation sequence itself is splendid and is very well-done. Color combination are very well coordinated and every color compliments the attitude of the character.

Character creation is very interesting, though each character is a deviation of the original since the movie itself is another version of the real Hercules story. Maybe the reason for this is to make appeal to the child auditions and to portray happy endings since it is a Disney movie.

This movie is really a fun-filled movie and to those who haven't watch this yet, bring out the child in you and view this awesome film.

Silent is a must.

I was full of words to express to my friends back then. The world seems not to end when I am with them. I tell them everything I feel without even setting limits. I am very transparent, I mean almost, since they know almost all of my sentiments. But now, everything seem so settle in a quiescence. I turn myself into the embrace of silent and could never come back to the time where I was restless and hyper.

The nostalgia is still chilling me whenever I hear my friends laugh. I miss the times where I could still relate to them and could even go on a day just giggling. Its as if I don't know them at all. They are close yet my hands are reaching to a distant somebody that whenever I try to reach, they all keep moving away. I turn myself into a silent, and it is a must. Since I realized they hate me being a loud mouth person. They hate me for being me. That is why I slowly removed myself to the social interactions that is around me. As much as possible,I avoid gaining new friends.

Another reason for this unending silence that I keep myself as a promise is the betrayal of a once good friend. I anticipated the time that my friends would just go out without me. I may be over acting for thinking such pathetic little misery, but I can't deny how I feel. I ask them why? I was only given a stare of blank face. A face who is against my morals which I can no longer comprehend. I moved away and muted my heart. I became silent.

The tragedy did not occurred once. It has been done not once, but a number which I can no longer count with either both my fingers and my toes. I don't know if it was my fault or was it theirs.  The only thing that keeps me going right now is the instinct to live.

Silent, they asked me why I am silent. Silent as if I did not exist. I made a big wall against them. I did not lost only one, I lost everything. Its my fault. I just need to grow up that is why I kept myself into silent.

Paklay: Goat's Guts

This my friend is called a Goat's guts. Actually, its just a term to make "Paklay" sounds enticing. It is a one of the favorite Filipino recipe which involves cooking the internal organs of the Capra aegagrus hircus commonly known as the goat.


Guts? Sounds very yucky right? Just imagine the internals entering you mouth and a odorous smells welcomes your nose while devouring the unimaginable. Well, it is not really like that. Actually it taste really good. It is indeed the internals you are eating but minus the odor if it is cooked well.  Just don't be deceived by the idea of eating a disgusting guts, then you would surely taste an exotic cuisine with fine taste.  A mixture of a sour feeling and bitter taste makes it very appealing to the taste buds.


This Paklay "Goat Guts", is actually cooked by my personal favorite infamous chef that I usually bully, my brother. I always scold him for being a reckless cook, but I do commend him for a job well done in cooking this tough food. He made it find that you could no longer care whether it is an internal of a goat. The taste is just perfect. Even the mixtures of the ingredients, you could say it is a fine cuisine. Just don't
