To Divine-- We will not fall to pieces By Rachel Mendoza

Divine,

It's been months after you are gone and here I am, recently contemplating on things I should have done right after the news of your death. Vine, I was never a good friend to you. I know I wasn't bad, either. It's just that because of my fear of being labeled as soft-hearted during high school, I never really have the guts to tell you I love you. I never cried after hearing the sad news. I even thought it was one of the prank jokes Tophe, Lenard and Mark enjoyed doing when asked about the whereabouts of our long gone friends. But it wasn't a joke. You were gone. You died in an asylum without us around to take care of you. You died alone. You know I wish I was with you before you died so we could talk how much we loved Avril Lavigne and her songs during our sophomore years. You were good memorizing her songs, I for one never tried to do it.

I know how you loved Avril and how you relate your life with some of her songs. Whenever I hear Fall to Pieces, it greatly reminds me of you. The old, brown-haired Avril with all the black and spikey bangles and bracelets and the skater Avril. Her songs was you. The old Avril was you. I really don't know what happened and you suddenly changed. Partly, we were to blame. We got so focused on things graduating students do and we neglected you and your needs. You were our self-proclaimed campaign manager when we ran for student elections then, because of circumstances and your 'specialness', you ran as independent candidate, gaining trust from the lower sections. I can still remember how you tried to persuade the students to go to the church you used to attend to 'cleanse' their spirits and to be saved. They never knew what was happening with us. Well, I hardly knew what was happening with you.

Vine, you never gave me the chance to talk to you, to feel you. You locked yourself up to a world I would not dare enter. I am so willing to listen to whatever you have to say. No matter how stupid it would sound, no matter how long our conversation would be, I would listen to you. That's the only thing I could do as a friend. But, now that you are gone, how could I figure you out?

I guess I was to blame, too. Listening to you was the least I could do but I never did. Divine, hydrochloric acid would never listen to you. It only made your death classic. Contemplating now was the only thing I could do. I know I would still see you one day. To the place where there would be no muriatic acid to take you away, I would listen. We would forever play classic Avril songs and talk about things we never did when you were still here. Death may not be as simple as autumn leaves, but life is not as beautiful as spring either. To death we are departed, but I know we will meet again. I love you Divine. I always will.

In sanity and in insanity,
Rachel

Get ready for ‘THE LAST AIRBENDER’ –- the movie! By Jeric R. Mallari

Updated February 22, 2010, 8: 13 p.m (Philippine time)

After its great success over its animated series, the Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is now adopted into a live action film which is expected to be released on July 2, 2010.

Produced by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies, it is planned to be the first film in the novel’s trilogy.

The series is influenced by Asian art, mythology and various martial art fighting styles created by Martin Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and was adapted by Frank Shyamalan who will also direct and produce the film along with Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, Sam Mercer and Scott Aversano.

The ‘The Last Airbender’ is about Aang, a reluctant young boy known as the last airbender (controller) and the avatar. The avatar is the physical embodiment of the world with the ability to control all four elements (water, earth, fire and air) and drawn upon the combined power, knowledge and experience of the Avatar’s previous incarnations. Aang is expected to maintain peace between the four nations in the world (Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and Air Nomads) and in the spirit realm, ensuring that the world remains in balance, a balance threatened by Fire Nation’s war. With the help of a waterbender named Katara and his brother Sokka, Aang begins a journey to find teachers in helping him to control the four elements to prepare for the incoming war against Fire Nation. Standing against them is Fire Nation’s ambitious Admiral, Zhao and the vanished prince of Fire Nation, Zuko who seeks to capture Aang to regain his honor.

Aang will be played by Noah Ringer, Sokka to Jackson Rathbone; Katara to Nicola Peltz; and Zuko to Jesse McCartney. Isaac Jin Solstein is playing an earthbending boy. Aasif Mandvi will play Commander Zhao, Shaun Toub will play Uncle Iroh, Cliff Curtis will play Fire Lord Ozai, and Keong Sim has been cast in the role of an Earthbender.

What You Ought to Know, a Post-Valentine Madness By Rachel Mendoza

The fact of being replaced by someone after all that you have been through is really hard. You would feel abused mentally, emotionally and sometimes, physically and you have to pick up what is left of you. Though there is a known cure for a broken-heart, the prescription what is known as moving on, some would not still accept the fact that he or she is dumped and then replaced.

The bitter ones, the one who were left behind would compare the deeds of the pasts and the present. A perfect example of a lover's bitterness blended in one song is Alanis Morisette's 'You Oughta Know'. The song was written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, the producer of Morisette's 1995 Album Jagged-Little Pill. The song's lyrics was rumored to be about Alanis' relationship with David Couler of Full House. It was harshly written, full of angst and Alanis sang it as how they wrote it.

Here is the lyrics for you to follow the song. Better leave a loved one happy, or they will compose an angst-ridden song like Alanis did.


I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Well, I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
