First of all, I would like to say that I loved the setting of the movie. The road all covered in snow. I have this fascination with snow and have always been dreaming of experiencing it, especially on Christmas. And somehow this movie made me experience it virtually.

The Noel Diary is a Christmas movie. The story is about hope, forgiveness and love. Spoiler alert: Justin Hartley is not Noel. And if that didn't intrigue you, I don't know what would. 

Jacob (Justin Hartley) is a novelist. His mother died and he didn't know about it hadn't he received a phone call. Cause he and his mother didn't have a good relationship, he is living alone. Well, not totally alone, he has Ava. Upon hearing the death of his mother, he needed to go back to his childhood home, where his mother used to live when she was still alive, to do some major clean up. 

Rachel (Barrett Doss) is in search for her birth mother. She went to the only address that she knew her mother had lived. When she visited the place, Jacob was there. Cause her mother used to be the nanny of Jacob's family.

Eventually Rachel and Jacob became friends. They helped each other in different ways. He helped her finding her birth mother. On the other hand, she became an instrument to help him patch things up with one of the most important people in his life. Throughout their journey, the inevitable thing happened. They fell in love with each other. Wait, did I forget to mention that she's already engaged with a different man? 

If what I said intrigued you and made you want to watch the movie, you should definitely give it a try, especially if have a huge crush on Justin Hartley. (I mean who wouldn't?) The movie will give you the chance of completely staring at him for more than an hour with only a second of interruption every once in a while.

I give this movie 4 stars cause there's this one thing that I was expecting to see on the movie, but I didn't. I was hoping for a reunion. Even so, this is a must see movie. Especially to those who have a hard time forgiving. This is perfect to watch now that Christmas season is already here. Because like I said, the movie is about love, forgiveness, and hope which is basically what Christmas is all about.




au revoir. 😊

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

Happy 8th Anniversary to us, blogspot. At sa'yo na palaging nagbabasa ng mga blogs ko, maraming maraming salamat sa paglalaan ng oras. Sana andiyan ka pa rin next anniversary natin at sa susunod pang anniversary at sa madami pang anniversary na icecelebrate natin dito sa blogspot.  Maybe you're wondrin' paano nga ba nagsimula ang pagsusulat ko dito? If you're a "legit" reader of my blogs especially the old ones you probably have an idea on how I struggled with finding a job. Kaya madami akong time mag-browse ng internet at madami akong time magbasa. Gustong-gusto ko noon na magbasa ng mga articles or mga inspiring stories. Everytime I read a well-written story especially the ones written in pure english I am always impressed with the writer. Doon nagsimula yong pangarap ko na maging isang magaling na manunulat. Gusto ko rin maging katulad nila. That time gusto ko rin magsulat at may mainspire ako sa mga sinulat ko. That time I was following a lifestyle blogger
