For The Love of the Soundtrack

Whether the soundtrack is a collection of ambient noise, a cool playlist, an original composition, or a recurring melody that is close to deafening silence, a movie is never complete without music. The movies I find most memorable are those with a good soundtrack. I often forget the plot, but never the music, and all the feels.

Joe Hisaishi's music is one of the reasons I love Studio Ghibli movies.

I managed to find one of his concerts in youtube. Set the volume on high and enjoy watching/listening!

I had major goosebumps at the start of "Tale of Ashitaka" and as the music progressed to the scenes where the characters were being chased.

Having the marching band there was fun to watch. The audience must not be expecting them. I used to play xylophone when I was a kid. Now I regret not being in a marching band.

The kids' song at the end of "Ponyo," is something that's refreshing to hear, (especially for someone of my age who really likes animated movies.) The music that plays all throughout the scenes under and on the ocean are grand and majestic, so hearing a children's song in the end was a departure from all that.

The melody from "Howl's Moving Castle" is my favorite so far - "The Merry-Go-Round of Life." It sounds like something you can waltz to in a fairy tale. Is it possible to walk the aisle in that melody? Because I really love it.

There's no doubt Joe Hisaishi is a genius.

"Tamang Hinala" (Suspicion)

By Kye Felix-Pajela - October 16, 2017

"Tamang hinala" When directly translated from Filipino to English it means "proper or right suspicion." However, this phrase is often said in a sarcastic manner, therefore it's a suspicion that turned out to be false.

REVIEW | Hardin sa Tabing-Ilog Adventure Camp

By Kye Felix-Pajela - April 04, 2018

It's been a long-time tradition for our church to spend the Holy Week together in an annual church camp. I've been to different campsites, some with better facilities, but I personally like this place. You can say it has a lot of potential, and a lot of charm! Let me enumerate the reasons why I like this place and what other ways they can improve to better accommodate people in the future. Hardin sa Tabing Ilog Adventure Camp is exactly what it says it is - a roughly landscaped camp facility beside the river.

It's always a lovely sight seeing couples grow old together.

MOVIE REVIEW | Dennis the Menace

By Kye Felix-Pajela - September 08, 2015

"Mr. Wilson!!!" "Dennis the Menace" is one of those movies my brothers and I like watching over and over again. It's a comedy about an overly active mischevious young boy and a grumpy and impatient old man in his senior age. The comedy is mainly based on how Dennis inflicts pain to older people - literal pain. {SPOILER ALERT!}

Our Epic Wedding Review : IMP Sea Breeze Resort

By Kye Felix-Pajela - August 27, 2016

As I have said in a previous post, finding the venue is one of the first steps in wedding planning. Almost everything will adjust according to your chosen venue. DO NOT PLAN ANYTHING ELSE unless the venue is FINAL! We already set our sights on another venue, but it was just too pricey! The Search (READ HERE) And to give you an idea of how overwhelming married life can be - not to discourage you, of course. Our Epic Wedding Review : Introduction In the attempt to sway me to practicality, my hubby and mother-in-law brought me to IMP Sea Breeze Resort in Taguig City . I've only known the resort from some friends (mostly teachers and students who went there for outings) . I never knew it as an events place so I googled the place plus the word "wedding." The results showed several videos of a wedding which did nothing to convince me yet.

Having a D&C (Journal)

By Kye Felix-Pajela - July 11, 2016

I was praying for a go signal from God if I should go through the procedure or still wait for a natural miscarriage. It was confirmed that I had a failed pregnancy - a blighted ovum. The Firstborn That Wasn't Meant to Be (READ HERE) I know we've already discussed. Hubby and I have agreed but I still have doubts. Until the last minute at home, I was still contemplating.

Meeting the Parents

By Kye Felix-Pajela - November 23, 2015

The Tradition Pamamanhikan is a Filipino pre-wedding tradition dating from Spanish colonial times, if I'm not mistaken. In this tradition, the groom with his parents visit the bride's house and formally request her hand in marriage. The word "pamamanhikan" originated from the root word "panik" meaning "to go up the stairs." Carpio Ancestral House in Sta. Rita, Pampanga Image Credits to Wikimedia Commons During those times, the living spaces were placed on the second floor of the house while the ground floor serves as storage area.

STAYCATION | Astoria Plaza, Ortigas

By Kye Felix-Pajela - August 25, 2016

My husband... having an affair with the TV. **Just kidding** ...But he really misses watching TV. Happy rainy season to all! As expected in the greater Manila area, rain showers and thunderstorms are coming in. Classes are suspended. Floods conquer some of the streets. A tornado has also been spotted this month. Yikes! What better time to book a staycation than a rainy day? And also, our free accommodation voucher is about to expire in a week. We decided to FINALLY use our voucher to avail of the free accommodation in Astoria Plaza in Ortigas.

RSVP + Philippine Culture = ?

By Kye Felix-Pajela - February 10, 2016

RSVP is short for " Respondez, s'il vous plait ." Translated from French to English, it means "Please respond." How does it work? You simply have to confirm your attendance on or before a set date prior to the event. You should also inform the celebrator if you are uncertain of attending or won't make it to the event. How should a guest respond? Most invitations include a response card which will be returned to the sender. Some invitations have contact numbers printed on them. The guest may send his response to the said contact number. If he is meeting the celebrator frequently, either they are neighbors or workmates, he may personally respond to the invitation. Why is a response important? The celebrator needs to know the final count of guests so he can inform the management of the venue, set seating arrangements, and inform the caterer. Is it necessary for a guest to provide more details than the response itself? Usually, t...
