8 MUST-SEE ROMANTIC COMEDY MOVIES

by: Maelette O. Masbate

 

"If you love someone you say it. You say it right then. Out loud. Or the moment just passes you by."

Sounds familiar right? To some movie enthusiast, for sure you’ve recognized this quote. This is a line from the romantic comedy movie My Best Friend’s Wedding starring no less than Julia Roberts as Julliane Potter and Dermot Mulroney as Michael O’Neal.

Romantic Comedy movies have been popular in the movie industry particularly in Hollywood for quite some time now. Some of these movies are top-grossing films which only proved that people do patronize and watch them, not just by the female populace but the male species as well.

What does Romantic Comedy really mean? According to bookrags.com, “Romantic Comedy films are movies with light-hearted, humorous dramatic stories, centered around romantic ideals such as a ‘true love’ able to surmount most obstacles or the ‘perfect couple’. Romantic comedy films are a sub-genre of comedy films as well as of romance films.”

The plot of a Romantic Comedy may not be as intense and complicated as the sci-fi movies, as grotesquely hilarious as the comedy films, nor it is a tear-jerker like the drama movies but still has gotten and can still get the viewers attention.

So to those who wants to be in love and laugh at the same time and to those who merely wants to go and have a movie marathon here are some of my suggested romantic comedy films that you must see:

 

1.    PRETTY WOMAN - Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) has found a way of living by working as a prostitute on Hollywood Boulevard . When she runs into the prince of her dreams, who comes along on his wild horse, she first does not recognize him as her savior. The prince, a ruthless and wealthy businessman by the name of Edward Lewis (Richard Geere), does not know that she could be more than just a girl from the sidewalk, but he changes his decision after the first night with the beautiful stranger. Her being the first person in a long time who could surprise him, Edward can slowly feel the light at the end of the tunnel. He is on his way to become a better person, whereas Vivian has got a new chance to start over again.

WHY WATCH IT: Pretty Woman is one of the best and timeless romantic comedy movies ever made in Hollywood . The film doesn’t only fire-up the hopes of the hopeless romantics out there, but it can also make the people realize that indeed it isn’t wise to judge a person base on the kind of living he or she has; that just because his or her work is against the norms of the society, he or she is already consider less than a human. -Kayin

2.    50 FIRST’S DATES- Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) lives in a Hawaiian paradise with the company of endless women with no strings attached. This is until he meets Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore). Both Henry and Lucy enjoy the company of each other and feels the start of a serious relationship occurring. Approaching Lucy the next day, Henry is confused when Lucy fails to recognize him. This is the moment Henry discovers that Lucy actually suffers from short term memory loss and can't remember each individual day. Henry won't let this stop him and is prepared to make her fall in love with him all over again, each and every day.

WHY WATCH IT: “Nothing beats the first kiss!” Who would ever forget Drew Barrymore’s famous line in this movie? The film didn’t only left me laughing with all those crazy antics of Rob Schnider, who happens to be Adam Sandler’s best friend in this movie, but the film also left me weeping in my seat. Who wouldn’t shed a tear for this remarkable and one-of-a-kind movie? This film surely is worth watching today and the day after that and the day after that… -Mae

THE UGLY TRUTH- A romantically challenged morning show producer (Katherine Heigl) is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent (Gerard Butler) to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.

WHY WATCH IT: “The characters were like cats and dogs. The guy was the epitome of pervert and a brute all wrapped in one while the girl was manipulative, perfectionist and a romantic. But despite their being the total opposites; criticizing each other's weaknesses, somewhere along the way; they found true happiness in each other's arms.” - Lala

3.    MAID IN MANHATTAN- Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) is a single mother born and bred in the boroughs of New York City , who works as a maid in a first-class Manhattan hotel. By a twist of fate and mistaken identity, Marisa meets Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes), a handsome heir to a political dynasty, who believes that she is a guest at the hotel. Fate steps in and throws the unlikely pair together for one night. When Marisa's true identity is revealed, the two find that they are worlds apart, even though the distance separating them is just a subway ride between Manhattan and the Bronx .

WHY WATCH IT: This might be just another modern Cinderella or the usual poor-girl-meets-rich-guy story with a twist, but this movie surely did catch my attention. Despite the simplicity of the movie’s plot, it was still able to etched and leave some good impression to the viewers. Marisa Ventura definitely can again sing “I’m coming out...”

4.    HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS - Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) is an advertising executive competing with two female co-workers for a major campaign for a diamond merchant. He cuts a deal with his competitors that the account is his if he can make a woman of their choice fall in love with him in 10 days. In comes Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) who, in turn, is writing a story on how to lose a guy in 10 days as a bet with her boss to be allowed to write more substantial stories. With a hidden agenda in each camp, will either party be able to complete their mission?

WHY WATCH IT: This film is a very concrete example of “Having a taste of your own medicine!” Both the main characters’ hidden scheme backfired and instead ended up messing both their lives and consequently their hearts as well. But luckily they were able to fix their differences and recognized their own flaws and eventually found their way back into each other’s arms ones again.

5.    27 DRESSES - Two things about Jane (Katherine Heigl): she never says no to her friends (she's been a bridesmaid 27 times and selflessly plans friends' weddings), and she's in love with her boss, George, nurturing dreams of a lovely, romantic wedding of her own. She meets Kevin, a cynical writer who finds her attractive, and that same week her flirtatious younger sister Tess comes to town. Jane silently watches George fall for Tess, a manipulative pretender. Worse, Jane may be called upon to plan their wedding. Meanwhile, Kevin (James Marsden) tries to get Jane's attention and has an idea that may advance his career. Can Jane uncork her feelings?

WHY WATCH IT: Love indeed comes to you when you least expect it. Just like Jane who always sees her self being in the arms of her boss but instead ended up marrying Kevin who made her open her eyes to reality. This just goes to show that sometimes, the person whom we thought is the right one for us may not actually be the right one for us. - Belle

6.    JUST LIKE HEAVEN- Elizabeth Masterson (Reese Witherspoon), a dedicated doctor in San Francisco , had almost no time for anything. When her sister with two kids set her up on a date, she gets into a tragic car crash and gets in a coma. Meanwhile, an artist named David Abbott (Mark Ruffalo) moves into San Francisco and coincidentally, into Elizabeth 's apartment for rent. While at the apartment, Elizabeth 's spirit haunts him. She doesn't remember who she is, who her family is, and what she did - All that she remembered was her apartment and where everything was. To settle the arguments, David agrees to figure out who Elizabeth really is. When they get close to figuring out who she is, they eventually find love in each other and as they finally know who she really is, they learn that fate really has put them both together.

WHY WATCH IT: Indeed love goes beyond death, this movie proves it! Finding love even on the verge of death or shall we say, near-death in this case, is utterly remarkable. Logically speaking though this scenario may sound absurd and next-to-impossible but then again, who knows; love knows no boundaries they say. - Bamba

7.    SWEET HOME ALABAMA- Melanie Carmichael (Reese Witherspoon), an up and rising fashion designer in New York , has gotten almost everything she wished for since she was little. She has a great career and the JFK-like husband of New York City . But when he proposes to her, she doesn't forget about her family back down South - and, more importantly, her husband back there, who refuses to divorce her ever since she sent divorce paper for almost 5 years. To settle matters straight, she decides to go to the south quick and make him sign the papers. But when things don't turn out the way she planned them out, she realizes that what she had before in the south was far more perfect than the life she had in New York City .

WHY WATCH IT: I like how the story goes first, they got married at a very young age and then the guy doesn’t want to sign the divorce paper years later when the girl decided to divorce him to marry another guy. And after sometime they decided to give each other another chance and they were able to make it work. It really showed that if u really love someone no matter what happens you would really end up together. After all the storms that they’ve encountered like even though the girl really decided to give it all up, the guy still tried to hold on until the very end; he even showed her how much she loves her and what she would be missing if they wouldn’t be together. It was touching when no matter how she denies that she doesn’t love him anymore at the end love did prevail eventually. –Vain

So there you go, the eight must-see romantic comedy movies that you need to check out for yourselves, especially those who have not seen them. See for yourselves and find out how these movies could change your views on both love and humor. Let’s all fall in love and fall in laughter all at the same time.

San Remigio: The Rural Bliss

By: Maelette O. Masbate

 

“When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself Yes indeed, all that belongs to me!”  ~Henri Rousseau

What better way is there than to spend your soul-searching and stress-relieving activities on a sheltered and nurtured paradise somewhere in the north. Known to have the longest shore-line in Cebu , San Remigio is definitely the place to be. With just a two-hour drive away from the metropolis you can already experience the life away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. This hidden paradise do sure has a lot to offer not only to its natives but most especially to its patrons and first-time visitors.

Having my native roots in this place, I definitely can bear witness to how this silent sanctuary can make you appreciate more the life they have in the rural. Waking up in the mornings while listening to mother nature’s orchestra is the best way to stir you up from your dreams. While in the middle of the day, the perfect masterpiece of God would then behold in front of you like a valuable piece of art work in an art museum. When twilight arrives, the exquisite splendor of the setting sun will then make you marvel the mystery behind it. And when evening comes, you would then be dazzled with how amazing the nights can be with all those sparkling jewels covering the skies above.

To give you a more vivid picture of the splendor that lies behind this unparalleled place allow me to share my little adventures of the different places that I have been in San Remigio. To start things up, let me take you to the place where I made some of my child hood memories, the humble baranggay of Argawanon. This is the place wherein me and my other cousins spend our early mornings drinking hot chocolate and eating pandesal. When it’s time for us to take our bath, we would then go to a nearby deep well to have our shower. Since Facebook’s Yoville, Farm Town , Pet Society, Crazy Planet and the likes are still unborn during those times; so we spend our leisure time playing Hide-and-Seek, Slipper Game and all those other childhood Filipino games that are on their way to extinction as of the moment. Before we hit the sack later in the evening, me and my younger cousins would then lay outside my grandma and grandpa’s veranda making figures out of the stars above.

Another place that I have been in San Remigio that surely made me be pleased about mother earth is in baranggay Batad; this is where the family friend of my grandfather resides. One sunny morning, the family was invited to the house of this family friend of ours to take part in what they called as “gango” wherein they would try to get or “collect” fishes from the fish nets near the mangroves. This was my first time to be in waist-high sea water with an above-the-knee mud! I was both so nervous and excited during those times that I can’t help but let out a giggle from time to time. I was so excited seeing those fishes, crabs and other sea creatures that I knew would become our sumptuous meal in a little while. I was nervous at the same time because I was thinking what biting-creature I might come across with while being immersed on that muddy water. On that adventure, I was also able to experience maneuvering the “bangka” for my self; though the water was just enough to keep the boat afloat and my father was just near me while I did my “paddling stunts”. Aside from my chance to get acquainted with the sea, I was also able to try getting the fruits from the singuelas trees. Even though I wasn’t allowed to climb up high on the branches, but still I did enjoy and just satisfied myself eating and reaching out for the fruits of the easy-to-reach branches.

The next adventure I’m going to share is the one I had in Hard Rock Beach Resort in baranggay Victoria . I sure did enjoy the ride we had on the way to the said beach resort. The road there was like on that of a roller coaster, but it was a lot of fun though. The beach resort was in a way in resemblance to that of Dos Palmas in Palawan wherein they have some “floating cottages” as what is shown on T.V. I wasn’t able to try swimming in the pool though since we just happen to drop by to see the place and though I went back there after a year or so, still I wasn’t able to go swimming again because the weather was not that good when we arrived there. Maybe the next time I’ll be there would finally be my time to take a plunge into their pool.

Another nice place that I was able to visit was the Verdemar Golf Course. That was my first time to see a golf course up-close and personal! That is why the moment we stepped on the perfectly-manicured grass my younger cousins and I immediately went running around the golf course with our bare feet.  They also have a swimming pool there and of course, the white-sand covered beach.

Aside from the must-see and should be-visited places in San Remigio, another enjoyable occasion in the place is the town’s fiesta which is Celebrated every 16^th of May. This merry-making is one thing that you should not dare miss in this place especially now that they have made their festivity more fun by having their own festival, “The Lapyahan Festival”.

Apart from the breath-taking sceneries that San Remigio has to offer, they also have opulent sea foods that would surely satisfy your appetite and not to mention their local delicacies like bibingka.

Even though I have been going back and forth from the city to my father’s native town since I was young, but I do believe that San Remigio has still a lot more to offer to its locality and to its tourists as well. In fact, an existing renowned beach resorts that have been acknowledge by Cebu ’s local tourism is found here, the “San Remigio Beach Club”. I have never been there though but maybe, before the year ends I will be able to set foot on that place.

I bet you all now want to see for yourself this hidden paradise in the north, right? So if you have any future plans to pamper your self andget away from the city noise, or if you just want to relax and chill with your friends or loved ones, or if not, you just want to try a different place then I suggest you visit San Remigio. I guarantee you not only a silent sanctuary but also a perfect get away from all the mayhem that the urban-living brings.

HOW TO HAVE GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

 by: Maelette O. Masbate

            Thesis. Internship. Projects. Personal Stuff. Family Matters. Social Life…

            What more could the fourth year college students ask for? Indeed the life of a senior in College requires not just his or her dedication but it also demands ones ample time and attention. With all these busy schedules and countless deadlines it is inevitable for us, soon-to-be graduates, to feel the pressure and experience stress. However we have to bear in mind that no matter how demanding and assiduous our undertakings could get at times, we have to remain on top and in control of our life. That is why I have decided to write this article so we may be reminded to still have the grace despite being under a massive pressure.

            Before giving you some tips, let us first define the word stress. What does stress mean? According to one of the definitions given by Dictionary.com stress is a mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.

            We also have two kinds of stress as stated by “Steven and Chris” on their CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) show. According to them there are two kinds of stress, they are the GOOD stress and the BAD stress. GOOD STRESS is a motivator. It keeps you alert and focused. An example of which includes getting a job promotion and purchasing your first home. BAD STRESS on the other hand is harmful to your body and mind. A few of its examples are work pressures, challenging conflicts and job loss.

            “Steven and Chris” also mentioned some warning signs of stress in physiological aspect, mood and other stuff. As what they have stated on their CBC website, a person who happens to experienced stress will have sore muscles, trouble sleeping, sweaty palms and fast heart rate. They would also feel anxious, snappy and detached from the world. Lastly that person will have poor quality of work, lack of focus, and will have the tendency to forget.

            Before we all get piled-up with all these laborious matters on stress let me now give you some tips on how to handle stress. The first five tips are as what Steven and Chris have stated on their page on the CBC website and the remaining tips are given by yours truly and by some of my fellow graduating students as well.

Get the Blood Pumping. Exercise transforms that same energy that’s normally wasted by worrying or fighting, into something valuable. Do some jumping jacks, go for a jog, jump rope, or just do some push-ups.

Healthy Comfort Foods. Food is fuel. What we put in our mouth is converted to energy. The better quality the food, the better you will feel. So choose healthy comfort foods instead of fatty or carb-heavy junk. For example: fruits instead of sweets; salads and grilled instead of greasy options; non-caffeinated teas instead of coffee or sugary drinks.

Sing Loud and Proud. Blast your favorite song and sing at the top of your lungs. Even if you sound like a squealing chipmunk, it will release tension and pressure.

Indulge In Pure Silence. Take ten minutes a day to sit in complete silence. You may be itching to get up after three minutes but force yourself to sit still in peace and quiet for a little while. It may be a challenge, but you will begin to feel peace if you are open to it.

Create an Adventure. Do something out of the ordinary. Perhaps it is something you have always wanted to do but never made the time for. Just do it!

Use Time Sensibly. Whenever you have the time to do and or finish your task, do it! Do not linger around and waste your time doing unproductive stuff. Avoid being the “I’ll-be-doing-it-in-a-while” kind of person. Remember: A lost time is never found again.

Anticipate Your Needs. Be prepared! Try to have the initiative in identifying your needed resources that would aid you in accomplishing your task. In that way you will be able to avoid repeating the same job over and over again.

Don’t Forget to Smile. Aside from having a wrinkle-free face, smiling also helps you lighten-up your heart. As what George Eliot, the English Novelist said, “Wear a smile and have a friend; wear a scowl and have wrinkles. What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?”

Look at Problems as a Challenge. As what Lala, a fourth year Masscom student explained, “Do not be instantly distress if ever you are faced with all these shortcomings. Try to view and take your problems as challenges instead. If you set your mind that way, you will be more motivated to face your problems and you will be more eager to work it out as well.”

Believe in What You Can Do. What better way to finish your task on time than to believe in our capability to do it! Thea, a senior Masscom student shared, “Trusting yourself to do your job well and believing in ones self to perform a task accordingly will surely help you ease out effortlessly from your work.”

Learn to Set Your Priorities. According to Jumar, a fifth-year Industrial Engineering working student and at the same time a candidate for an upcoming male pageant, “You have to know how to set priorities in your life. You have to know for yourself on what makes you feel happy and satisfied. In that way, you will be able to decide for yourself on which area are you going to spend most of your time and attention.”

Learn to Say No. Maybe you are loaded-up with work because you don’t know how to say no! You may feel that you are too selfish and inconsiderate if you are going to decline someone who is asking something from you, but I believe you are not. That is just what we called, self-preservation! You must also learn to put your self first once in a while, that wouldn’t hurt you, would it? –Emz, fourth year student from USC.

Have Someone to Inspire You. Working your minds out every day can really make you all worn out as the day ends; but if you have someone or something that inspires you to religiously finish what you’ve started then it would certainly make your work less laborious and who knows, it can even make a difference. –Net, 4^th year Chem. E. student from USC.

Never Be Afraid To Ask For Help. If you feel like you don’t know how to do a certain thing, or you think like you need some assistance, never hesitate to ask for one. It wouldn’t make you look so incompetent or helpless if you’re going to ask for help from others. We must realize and accept the fact that all of us have limitations and it is but normal to call on for help sometimes.

Don’t Try to Know All the Answers. You don’t hold the answers to all life’s mystery so don’t pressure your self too much in trying to find them either. Life itself is already intricate so avoid making it more complicated by trying too hard about everything.

I believe we are now all geared-up and ready to win our fight against our number one enemy, stress. Well handling stress might sound so far-fetched and strenuous, but with those given tips, I guess it would now be much easier to fight all those bad stress away. Fighting!

xoxo,

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE

By: Maelette O. Masbate

 

I'm stubborn, I'm relentless, I'm self-willed, and I stick to my beliefs no matter what...and so I thought!

I reckon I would forever live up to my firm belief, "I WOULD NEVER, EVER ALLOW MYSELF TO LIKE A FRIEND... to the point of FALLING FOR HIM!"

But darn! Stupid Cupid aimed his arrow at me one day and I just found myself beaming and smiling at the thought of "this friend"! At first I tried to reason out that what I’ve felt for him is just a fleeting feeling and an overstatement of my emotion. I even convinced myself to not entertain the thought of liking this certain guy pal and instead I kept on instructing myself to just push the unusual feeling at the back of my mind. But as what other people would say, bottled-up emotions would eventually overflow or if not, would find its way out.

I hate to admit it but I guess I ate up my own words this time. I'm conceding, I'VE FALLEN FOR MY FRIEND! Honestly I can't think of any concrete reason why I came to the point of finally making known to myself of what I truly felt for him; what I know now is that I've been carrying the torch for him for quite some time now. As what Kanye West's line from one of his song says, "It wasn't meant to be, it just happened!" 

Even though I have learned to like him for more than a year now I still I can’t help but think of the absurdities behind our situation. Probably that is the reason why every now and then I would go and take a trip down memory lane and try to relive the memories we had together; I would usually try to recollect the past things that took place which brought me in this direction…

I started to be friends with him during the second semester of our second year in college. Yeah, we went to the same University. In actuality, we’re batch mates, classmates to be exact. Although we belong to the same department, we weren’t that close at first since I happened to be a non-block when I was in first year.  We only get acquainted with each other and eventually became friends because of a common friend. We used to take those long walks and head home together with our other classmates from the school towards the Cathedral to take our ride home from there; and that had become the group’s routine for quite sometime. During those long walks, we either walk by pairs or by a group of three or more. I don’t know whether it is just mere coincidence or some lame joke brought about by fate, but more often than not we would end up walking along together. There are those moments as well when the boys (him and my other guy classmates) would have to wait for us (me and my other girl classmates) because we’re still attending the novena mass in a church or we’re just taking too long doing something after class. I guess it was between the walks we have taken and those countless waiting, talking and teasing that I have finally realized that I was actually slowly falling for my friend.

So now you’ve gotten the picture? He has been a close friend of mine for almost two years now.  The friendship that we have built is like that of the relationship between a brother and a sister. As a matter of fact the longer we spend time together, the stronger the bond of our friendship had become and the more comfortable we have been with one another. We used to be very reserved with each other before; I don’t even really talk to him about personal stuff and all, but now he’s been one of the best confidants I had. He is one of the few friends I have that can truly tolerate and understand my ever changeable behavior; I seldom talk to him when we are in a group before but now he is one of the few people I would directly go to and talk with.

I guess I have finally figured out and comprehend that aside from this stupefying closeness I have developed with him, the reason why I am drawn deeper towards my friend is because of his close-to perfect personality. I may sound like a besotted-school girl but I really think that most of the girls would definitely fall for him for that sole reason. The thought that boys rarely act and behave the way he does made him more appealing to me. This guy friend of mine happens to be very gentlemen caring and sweet, the characteristics that would actually make my knees go weak. I can also confidently say that his good looks has been a great addition to the whole package.

Behind all this hidden attraction I have for my friend though, I really do believe that the situation I am in is in a way both complicated and risky. It is complicated in a sense that I know this thing I have for him has no where to go because I am more than aware that my love story is categorized under the one-sided or unrequited love area. It is risky because I am laying our friendship on the line since I supposed he still doesn't know that I have a thing for him. And much worst I feel like I’m betraying our friendship because I see him as more than my friend. I am juggling both my wanting to keep our friendship unscathed and my desire to carry on what I feel for him. But no matter how complicated and risky this might be for me I am still determined to keep what I have for him... I'm taking the chance!

though I am allowing my self to continue loving him in silence I am also open to the possibility that he might and would eventually find out that I have fallen for him. I have been readying myself if worse comes to worst that day would eventually take place so I would not be caught off guard. I am making myself geared up for the likely confrontation that might happen, which I doubt would; I am preparing myself as well to the odds that he might not be talking to me anymore or worse would be avoiding my presence, which I hope he wouldn’t.

I know I have all these worries with regards to where would my unspoken desire would take me but, as of now I am not letting that stop me from making more unforgettable moments with him. He might not be aware about it but I have been cherishing all those simple little things he has done for me since then. From the senseless talks we have shared, the corniest jokes we both laughed at, the littlest secrets I have confided with him, to the most bizarre moments we have had together, all of these have been occupying the biggest part in my life. Like what most of my close buddies have been telling me, “Do not think about all your worries and queries, for now just cherish and relish the moment. Just be thankful for every moment you are able to spend with him”

And that is what I have been doing for the past year and so, just living through the sweetness while it last; treasuring every memory that I could make out of the times spent with him, etching every minute detail of him in my reverie. I fathom I would never know until then where this thing I have for him will take me, I do not hold the answer to all these questions surrounding my mind and it is not for me to decide how all of these will eventually end; only God knows and holds the answer. There is one thing though that I am positive about with where am at in my life right now and that is, “There is definitely a thin line between friendship and love.”

To finally end my article, let me share to you one of the poems that I’ve written for him:

UNSEEN

I wasn't supposed to feel for you this way.
But lately I've noticed,
That just a thought of you completes my day...

I wasn't supposed to think of you this way.
But somehow I feel,
That you wanted me to be okay...

I wasn't supposed to wish for you this way.
But being around you,
Wipes away my worries...

I wasn't supposed to yearn for you this way.
But when you're away,
My mind seemed to look for you inside itself...

I wasn't supposed to long for you this way.
But the look in your eyes,
Wants me to be lost in it forever...

I wasn't supposed to hope for you this way.
But the way you care,
Makes me feel secured and love...

xoxo,


Mae =)
