My Favorite Paulo Coelho Quotes

I am a certified Paulo Coelho Fan. It all started with "By the River Piedra, I sat down and wept" and as of now I have a total of 10 Paulo Coelho books.
Here are some of my favorite qoutes taken from his books...


"'Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is. ...'"
— Paulo Coelho

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."
— Paulo Coelho

""Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.""
— Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes: A Novel (P.S.))

"If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day."
— Coelho, Paulo (The Alchemist)

"It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary."
— Paulo Coelho

"In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire"
— Paulo Coelho (By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept: A Novel of Forgiveness (P.S.))

"Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day
"
— Paulo Coelho (Brida)

A Very Special Love - A Surprisingly Good Movie

A movie is a good one for me if it successfully entertained me. I love watching feel-good, Romantic Comedies. I love it when I leave the movie house with a smile on my face. That's exactly what the movie "A very special Love" did last Sunday.
I was curious if the John Lloyd - Sarah Geronimo tandem would click, and surprisingly it did. Sarah was quite a natural comic, she was so cute and funny, and not OA (Over Acting). My mom can't stop gushing how "pogi" (good-looking) John Lloyd was. This is one of the few Filipino Rom-Com flicks that I will recommend people to watch :) :) :)

Family Dinner at Privado's

We had a Family Thanksgiving Dinner / Despedida Dinner for my Brother and His Family at Privado's last Thursday. Privado's is our Favorite Italian Restaurant. They have the best Pasta ever, always Al Dente. My Favorite Pasta Dish is their Arrabiatta and Ravioli (either the one with cream sauce or the tomato based sauce). I also love their Eggplant Parmigiana and Roastbeef Parmigiana. My mom loves their pizza. My dad, the Osso Bucco. We always go there for special occasions, very good ambiance and a very private location. The restaurant is located at Angeles Citicenter Phase 2 at Pandan, Angeles City. For reservations call 045 - 8886127.
