Umaaraw, Umuulan

Movie Review-Umaaraw Umuulan

The story is about Paolo (Ryan Santillan) a photographer who was rejected by the producers to have his script be a movie, since it was too heavy and not likely to be a blockbuster. That same day, he sees Rhea (Mariel Rodriguez) with another guy at a mall and was planning to break up with him because she does not see too much of him. That's too much for a day. So he sits alone in a restaurant on the night that he was to propose her marriage. The ring? He gave it at the mall. His friends take him to a bar to entertain him and was about to sing for him when he walks out and decides to end his life by driving his car recklessly. He did not die.

His aunt decides to send Berto (Herbert Bautista), his mute cousin, to take care of him. A few days later Paolo sees Lynette (Precious Lara Quigaman) and falls in love with her. He was not able to get her name nor number that night. He sees her waiting for the rain to stop one night. They decide to live together. Berto sees all of these and reminds him to take care of himself, especially his heart. Meanwhile, Paolo takes photos of Lynette and even makes love with her. All these made Berto more concerned. However, Lynette is not around when his friends are there so that he could introduce her. Unknown to Paolo, Berto wrote a letter to Paolo's mother. His mother comes to visit and Paolo wants her to know Lynette.

While buying food, Paolo sees Lynette and talks to her. Lynette says that's not her name and denies any knowledge of Paolo. Lynette's husband interferes (Ramon Christopher).

Heartbroken again, Berto decides to let Paolo read his diary. Paolo's father (Joel Torre) was a gambler so his mom decided to leave him. Bankcrupt, his dad commits suicide and Paolo was taken to the USA. He came back but Berto was worried that Paolo had invisible playmates. His mom sent himto USA for therapy.

After reading the diary, Paolo decided to commit suicide but Berto took care of him and Paolo's mother made him undergo treatment in the USA again. Six months later, while driving along Ortigas Center, he sees a mystery girl (Judy Ann Santos) and imagined he was kissing her. Berto saw her and approved. This time, the girl's for real.

12 Powerful Life Lessons

1. It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.

I believe this to be true and have experienced this with my own family. When I think of the times where we laughed the most or had the most fun – it was when we were doing the simplest things. Swimming in a pool, combing a beach for shells, playing a board game, or sharing a delicious meal – all simple things making up the best times we’ve had as a family.

Question: What were some of the happiest memories from your past? What were you doing?

2. Support your children in pursuit of their dreams.

In the beginning of the story the shepherd boy (named Santiago) tells his father he wants to travel and see the world. The father explains he wants his son to stay in the village and become a priest. But Santiago persists – being a priest is not his dream. What does his father do? He gives Santiago the small amount of money he had been saving for the boy and wished him well.

How many of us had parents who have – in not-so-subtle-ways – influenced us to take careers that were not in-line with our dreams? Be honest now, did you pick your current career because you’re passionate about the work or were you trying to make your parents proud? How do you feel about your career now?

As a parent, it’s difficult to accept when your child wants to take a path other than the one you had hoped and planned for them. But, it’s ok. Like my wife keeps telling me “give them roots and give them wings”. Give them a solid foundation of love, but give them the freedom to follow their dreams.

Question: What were some of your dreams as a child?

3. There is nothing to hold you back, except yourself.

There is only one question to ask yourself here: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” Think about it.

4. There is only one way to learn, and that is through action.

Trying to learn without doing is like trying to lose weight by watching someone else exercise. It’s just not going to work. We are all fundamentally hands-on learners.

Question: What would you like to learn? What next action step can you take?

5. Trust your gut (or Learn to recognize omens, and follow them.)

Many times our subconscious has already made a decision before we’ve caught up and made the same decision. Sometimes we don’t make the same decision and then ‘something does not feel right’ or there is a persistent naggingthat bothers us. Malcolm Gladwell wrote extensively about this phenomenon in his book titledBlink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking. Trust your gut – it may be more accurate than you think.

6. Follow your dreams.

There are many of us who dream our dreams without ever actually realizing any of them. For whatever reason we get locked in a “dream state” and never take action. We analyze too much and our dreams turn into giant mountains in our imagination that seem impossible to climb. As a result, we never learned that foreign language we’ve always wanted to learn, or traveled, or started that business, or written that book. Just think of the many bestsellers that would have been, but were never written.

The time is now, to awake from dreamland, to live the life we want and to achieve the extraordinary potential within us all.

Question: What are some dreams you’d like to realize now? Write them down on a piece of paper and make sure the success of their attainment is measurable.

7. Know what you want.

Set goals and make a plan to achieve them. It’s like the saying, “a goal that is never written down is nothing but a New Year’s resolution” – and we all know what happens to New Year’s resolutions.

8. Make a decision and dive in with massive action.

The river of life will take you to places that you have never imagined. Once you make a decision, take action. You’ll be surprised to find where it will lead.

9. Move on – always look forward.

It’s ok to look back once and a while, but don’t live in the past. You can visit “pity city” for a short time, but after a while you have to leave it all behind and walk on.

10. You will encounter obstacles and take detours while realizing your dreams.

As you strive to achieve your dreams, you can count on there being some setbacks and disappointments. Don’t get discouraged, the road to your dreams may not be an easy one. Think of these challenges as tests of persistence and courage that life throws at you during your quest. They were necessary and were meant to help you grow as a person.

Learn to adjust the sails of your life to unpredictable winds, while keeping your focus clear on your destination.

11. Don’t fear the unknown.

As long as you’re resourceful and have a few skills, you’ll be able to provide for yourself (and your family). Have confidence in yourselfat all times.

12. Learn to understand the universal language – the language without words.

There is so much more said from a person than just words alone. You can read the expression on someone’s face, sense their body language, or hear the tone in their voice – these thingsare all part of the unspoken language. The more conscious we become at noticing them, the better we become at interpreting them.

Question: What are some subtle unspoken gestures from the language of love?

Obstacle in our Path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, But none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.

After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Without feet..

"I complained because i didn't have shoes until i saw someone without feet."

Trust Him

"When GOD leads you to the edge of a cliff, Trust him fully.
Only two things can happen; either he will catch you when you fall or he will teach you how to fly."

and the Lonely boys just had sex. :)
