the climb

a while ago, I’m thinking of a new topic to posts on my blog..

it just so happen that I remember listening to this song and find it beautiful..

actually, I’m not really a fan of her, i didn’t know her either..

all I know, is that she’s in Hannah Montana, I didn’t even watch it..

anyway, I like her song and the lyrics itself..

this is it..

The Climb

By Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

Chorus
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I mean I know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Movie Review: The Proposal

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Plot:

When high-powered book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Betty White) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

Review:

The Proposal is a total feel good and heart warming movie. If you love Sandra Bullock and have fun with Ms. Congeniality, then this is a must watch movie for you. This is also her comeback after a long absence from a romantic comedy. It was rumored that the Margaret Tate role of Sandra Bullock was supposedly played by Julia Roberts but for some reasons Sandra got the role.

Anyway, I like Sandra Bullock, especially in Speed and Ms. Congeniality. She can be smart, tough, and funny then transforms to a vulnerable woman in an instant.

n The Proposal, Sandra Bullock plays Margaret Tate, a high-powered book editor. She’s the slave-driving bitch in the eyes of her co-employees in their publishing company. Ryan Reynolds plays Andrew Paxton, the assistant of Margaret. The hook of the movie was when Margaret forced Andrew to marry her just to save her from being deported to Canada and when they went to Andrew’s home in Alaska to inform his family that they are getting married. From there, she discovers that Andrew belongs from a rich family, most of the business in the town of Sitka, Alaska was owned by their family plus he lives in a big mansion, to think that Andrew was only her assistant.

The movie has its share of laughs as Margaret gets into awkward situations caused by their supposedly sham marriage. The old grandma of Andrew also adds fun to the movie she’s so cool and funny.

At first, I thought the ex-girlfriend of Andrew was the hindrance in their growing affection to each other but as the story goes, it was the father of Andrew. The ex-girlfriend of Andrew is not really a threat to Margaret.

I don’t like the immigration official who follows them up to the Alaska just to prove that their engagement is a fraud.

It is very entertaining movie and there are lots of comedic moments. I wont spoil the ending for those who haven’t seen the movie, but it is a happy one!

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy or Your Own Best Friend?

Author: Rose DesRochers

Are you the kind of person who is your own worst enemy? Do you live your life with doubt, always trying to live up to the standards others set for you? Life can be filled with disappointments if we live each day seeking the approval of others.

Remember that you are who you are because of you, not because of another’s perception of you. At the end of your life the only important question will be: "Did you live your life as you saw fit?"

In all honesty, I can be my own worse enemy. I let people get the better of me.

When you let someone get the best of you than you are really letting them win. In life we are faced with the joy of living life or the pain and disappointment of not living life to its fullest.

I have always gotten by the strength and courage that I learned from my mother. One thing that she taught me was that life is a battle and sometimes you have to fight or you will die having never tried.

I am in charge of my destiny, and it is up to me and only me to live my life. I know what’s important to me. I set goals for myself and I meet those goals. I know my friends, and I know my family, and most importantly, I know myself. I know who Rose DesRochers is.

Ask yourself, what is important to you? Do you know who you are? Are you happy with yourself as you are?

Never lose sight of who you are, and what you stand for. If someone wants to dismiss you because you don't meet up to their standards, that is their problem. Maybe they set their standards a little too high.

Don’t allow yourself to be your own worst enemy. Sometimes it’s just a matter of putting yourself first. If you can love someone else, why can you not love yourself? You are worthy of being loved.

Be true to yourself and your values. Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself even when it feels uncomfortable. Accept yourself as you are. Never let anyone dictate to you who you should be. A poor self-image will only make you feel worthless. Believe in yourself, because the one person you can trust and rely on is you.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Can you see in yourself who you really are, or do you see yourself as others want you to be?

Building self confidence means learning to love yourself. Learn to believe in yourself. Learn to accept the things that cannot be changed. Learn to accept that you’re not perfect, nobody is. Learn to accept that you cannot change someone’s opinion of you. Quit wasting time dwelling on what is negative in your life and concentrate on what is positive. Stand up and be counted, because at the end of the day when you look in the mirror, you should see your best friend.

In my own views..

Sometimes, we live life according to the perceptions or standards set by other people around us. We tried to be nice to all of them just to please them or maybe to receive acceptance from them. Until we realize that we’re no longer living the way it should be, the way we want, or we might say to ourselves, “this is not me!”

I knew a lot of people who lives like this, for some people around them they thought that they are happy for what they’ve become, for their achievements.. but the truth is they aren’t. At the end of the day, when they are alone, that despite of all achievements, they are weeping.. because it is as if it’s the achievements of the person/people who sets standards for them, not them.

We don’t have to be super nice always, sometimes we need to show our bad side so that we would know who can accept us at our worst mood. It’s good to be nice, but by doing this sometimes we let other people get the better of us.

Definitely, we are in charge of our own destiny and its up to us on how we live our own lives. We shouldn’t care about the perceptions of other people to us. Anyway, it’s us who knows really well our own selves.
