I like love stories but I'm a horror nut.

When I was a young girl, I remember watching Child's Play. And honestly, I was and still am terrified of Chucky. It's one of the reasons why I dislike dolls with a passion. Barbie dolls are included. My parents stopped giving me dolls when they saw me drawing on their faces and cutting their heads off. Hm. That just made me sound like a psychotic child. Anyways, I've been exposed to horror movies at such a young age that this time around most horror movies just bore me to death. It's not because I can no longer feel fear. It's because I like the feeling of being scared. It gives adrenaline.

Lately, that's the case. I watch all the horror movies I can find only to be disappointed 70% of the time.   , which is why I don't want to watch horror movies alone. It gets boring. It's much more fun when you have someone who gets easily scared out of their wits. The favorite person I like watching horror movies with is my sister. We are only about a year apart, so we saw the same films when we were younger. Somehow, she turned out to be quite the opposite of me. I remember when we watched No Tell Motel, which was incredibly stupid. She kept on screaming all the time, even when it wasn't even scary. And, whenever we watch a horror film in theaters, she usually covers her eyes and ears.

A close second would be my cousins. As you all know, the only girls in our family is me and my sister. All of my cousins are males-- easily scared and emotional males. They cried when we watched A Walk To Remember. Sure it was pretty cute of them, but heck. I remember the time when we all gathered to watch Tale of Two Sisters and they all insisted that we stop. We didn't and they covered their eyes the whole time, while bothering me with questions.

The third is Fido and Gatb. The first movie I saw with Fido was Drag Me To Hell. I wouldn't call it a date because Page and MC were there. Anyways, he seemed pretty cool with the not screaming part. We were more occupied with Page who kept holding us as she sank further down her seat. (Also a favorite horror movie companion). Since then whenever we wanted to watch a movie, I always demanded the scarier ones. I didn't think it bothered him, until we watched Paranormal Activity and he literally made a little scream and jumped out of his seat. Like WHAT? He readily confessed that he wasn't a fan of horror films after all.

“Men often like [scary films] as date movies because women are more likely to seek physical closeness when they’re scared, and men can show off their strength and bravery,” Cantor said. (This is aptly called “the cuddle effect.”)
In one study males liked a horror movie more when they saw it with a female who was scared, and females liked the movie more when they saw it with a male who wasn’t scared."
Oh well XD

GATB. Hmm. Page is my favorite companion, because she has the cutest reaction of all. Penda comes a close second, because she tends to get fidgety and violent. It is also very fun to watch. Ezzy just avoids horror movies at all cost, so we tend to force her just to watch it with us. She usually has the same reactions like Page, which is SOOOOO FUNNN to tease. Lorry just quietly sinks in her seat, but she jokes around from time to time to distract herself, I guess. Angel is the one I can relate the most when it comes to horror movies. We actually talk about the plot while watching, which is very refreshing because she actually knows whats going on.

LOL. I didn't intend to dwell to much there. I just wanted to share my excitement because there are alot of horror remakes this year. I'm super PSYCHED about Evil Dead and Carrie. Evil Dead is originally a trilogy made in the 1980s, and I haven't seen it for myself. A lot of reviews said that the ones who didn't watch the original would enjoy it more. Carrie is a work of my all time favorite horror novelist, Stephen King. He's just soooo awesome. All of his works are! Especially Children of the Corn. I also saw it when I was younger, and it terrified me so much that I actually liked it. Anyways, Evil Dead is a bit gory. I dislike gory movies, such as the Saw series. I avoid that as much as possible. I'd rather be scared, not sickened. I'm sure I can handle Evil Dead. OH BY THE WAY, the Director of Evil Dead is the same person who directed Drag Me To Hell and Spiderman. LOL.

Some of the most recent horror flicks that I like.
1. Cabin In The Woods
2. Mama
3. Let Me In
4. Insidious
5. Scream 4
6. The Woman In Black
7. The Orphanage (This is a bit old but I just saw it. IT'S AWESOME)
8. American Horror Story (It's actually a series but it deserves to be mentioned)

Boxing Drama

I am not into boxing. Er. Well, maybe I am a little. I just like it when they are really beating each other into a pulp part. It gives me adrenaline, and I can't help but punch the air along. I blame the fact that I am constantly with male companions. Anyways, that's not my point. Today is Pacquiao-Marquez 4 (and my lovely tita's birthday!). I watched the previous three fights, and I've got to say that it's always pretty close. Pacquiao barely won two out of three. This time, the fourth time, Marquez got his game on. Serious stuff happening in that ring. Oh! Funny thing. Mexico's singer for the National Anthem had no voice. She was barely making out the words. It was pretty fun to listen to her as she tries to reach the high notes. Back to the topic! The fight started pretty good. The two of them were not letting the other land a punch. It's always a hit for a hit. It was amazing, because it didn't have many dull moments (My fault for watching cow

Last post for the night

11. Another picture of you and your friends I will skip post 11 because it's basically the same with the previous post ( making up lost time ). I don't have any other pictures and I don't feel like uploading the older ones. 12 . How you found out about Blogger and why you made one So, I found out about blogger from my friend Penda . She kept talking about blog posts, and I couldn't quite understand what she was talking about. In the end, I checked her blog after a few more conversations about the blog. There was just no making sense until I saw it for myself. It was interesting, but not that interesting to get me started. I already had a google account by then, so it was easy for me to keep track. I started  blogging  because everyone that mattered was doing it. I wanted to be able to follow their posts easily, without having to be the anonymous  comment-er . Basically, that's it. I have no intention of profiting from the internet since my posts ar

Fourty-two

@ Doshia's 17th Birthday Love doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be true. Okay. That might not be the best picture for us, but I recently realized that we don't have many pictures together. It might be because I don't like having my picture taken, and he doesn't too. I guess it's something we can agree on. Now, fourty-two months is quite a long time for any couple in a relationship. If I recall, I was just about fifteen then. He was about sixteen or so. We were young, just two kids in love who didn't know how demanding a committed relationship was. We didn't care then, so we had to learn the hard way. In those years we've been together, there were too many ups and downs in our relationships. The rush of reality was so overwhelming. Lies, insecurities, jealousy and even the point of obsession were thrown at us far too many times. It seemed like an endless battle, but I knew deep down. . It was all going to be fine. I just hadn't re
