Remembering Good TImes and Awake

Last Saturday, June 13, Eva, Melai, Kate, Tere, Jed, Jonathan, and I planned a surprise party for our friend Hazel. Instead of our kikay bonding scheduled that day, we decided to postpone it for Hazel's surprise party and besides we have two guys with us.
We did our surprise party at Kate's crib in San Mateo. While Kate's preparing at their house, my friends and I met in McDonalds. After awhile, altogether we went to Kate's crib. We took the cab. It was quite a long ride because it was traffic.
As we arrived at their house, we watched a movie entitled "Serendipity." I didn't like it that much but it was just fine for a wholesome love story that is worth waiting. After then we ate and sang a happy birthday song for Hazel. We told our wishes for her. Because she's turning 20, we prepared 20 questions just for her. After answering our questions, she asked us questions back which is really fun. We also did tell our first impressions with each other. Wow! Secrets were revealed. It was really exciting.
Since we will sleep at Kate's house, we decided to watch another movie entitled "Awake." Awake is a 2007 suspense thriller written and directed by Joby Harold. It stars Hayden Christensen (Clay Beresford), Jessica Alba (Sam Lockwood), Lena Olin (Lilith Beresford), and Terrence Howard (Dr. Jack Harper). The story focuses on a man who suffers "anesthetic awareness" (an occurrence where during surgery where not enough anesthetic medication for the patient's body weight), and finds himself awake and aware, but paralyzed, during heart surgery. His mother must wrestle with her own demons as a drama unfolds around them, while trying to unfold the story hidden behind her son's young wife. On the eve of his heart surgery, Clay marries Sam and during the surgery, he experiences an "anesthetic awareness" that leaves his conscious but paralyzed. Clay witnesses the dialogs in the room and discovers dark secrets about his surgery. It was really cruel of Sam doing that to Clay because Clay really loved her so much. The line that we won't forget in the movie was that before Clay went to the surgery room he said something to Sam "Do you think my new heart will love you as much as my old one?" We were really touched with that line because it was a proof that Clay will not love Sam anymore with his new heart and with what he knew when he was "awake."
I miss them badly. I miss our song "Pera, Pera...Pera, Pera lang yan!" Funny huh? Well this is just one of my memory with them to be treasured for a lifetime..more memories to come.
