Books, movies, music, series of 2011

NOTE: there are other books that I read this year, movies I watched, music I heard, and series I followed but these are the most remarkable ones for me
BOOKS
1. The last lecture by Randy Pausch (EPIC book read as a finale for 2011)
2. First things first by Stephen Covey, Steve Merill & Rebecca Merill (helped me come up with my own personal statement)
3. The Time Paradox by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd (inspired more to pursue Psychology; bought after an SS meeting)
4. Sophie's World by Justin Gaarder (bought in UP booksale; reminded me of Ate Len)
5. Like the flowing river by Paolo Coelho (bought from the GCs I got from the SS exchange gift; lesson: there's no guarantee that wishes are always granted)
6. The Roadless traveled by by Scott Peck (bought last 2010 but got to read only early this 2011)
7. The missing piece meets the Big O by Shel Silverstein (I used this in one of our SS classes)
8. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (I used this on my story reading portion in the Galileo Halloween Party)
9. Love you forever by Robert Munsch (one of the students who made a great impact in my 2011 life as a teacher read this to me; got the copy from Ms. Joji after one of the SS volunteers' workshop)
NOTE: there are other books that I read this year, but these books are the most remarkable ones for me
MOVIES
1. If only (last movie watched with Iren, super worthwhile; story of our life..importance of time, priorities, love…life)
2. The three Idiots (watched nth time and gave a copy to my mentor as a parting gift)
3. Serendipity (watched with Max and Gijik this December; offered a new insight about the importance of choice and destiny)
4. Crazy Little Thing called LOVE (watched on my own first, then with Anne and Max, finally with college friends during an overnight surprise party for April; one message: love makes the world go crazy)
5. Thor (I simply love this one)
6. The adjustment Bureau (showed the importance of freewill; got the copy from my roommate Ate Mityl)
7. I am SAM (watched it when I was taking my Social Psych class during undergrad but still caught my heart when I watched it again this year)
8. Harry Potter (watched the finale of the sequel on one spontaneous date with Lai and Kaye; watched the whole series on one HP marathon)
9. Letters to Juliet (love defies time and distance)
10. Just Like Heaven (a movie that reminds me of the beauty of being a teacher)
11. RENT - (This one isn't a movie but a theatre play which reminds me of that crazy thing called love; instead of watching this on a "supposedly self-imposed double date with max and the "guys"", I ended up watching this with one of the best girl friends I have, Luz and the best couple / mentors I know: Ate Solvie and Kuya Cris--> a couple with one extraordinary love story told)
