***Do you guys want to win a GORGEOUS flower necklace?? Then go here!!***
When I started blogging, I knew that it would be my creative outlet, my information outlet of some sorts and not one drop of my personal wailing well would drip into my blog. I’ve broken this a few times but it would always be vague and ambiguous. Even in real life I don’t want to discuss my problems. I just retreat off into my own corner and just think and discern. Somehow it has always been that way *therefore talking to self is very normal for me. VERY.* Maybe I’d let it drip….ambiguously today XD
Hope you all had a fun Valentines and Chinese New Year! I’d been feeling down for the past week and then add to that what happened on Sunday. I swear I’ve got some family issues and now I understand how you can never fully judge a person. Hypothetically speaking, a kid is deprived of attention and gets beaten up by his dad constantly and physically abuses him. Kid grows up, gets a family but what does he do to his kid? He’ll probably still act childish and wouldn’t be a normal dad to his children thus making his children go “WHAT THE F– is wrong with my dad?” Why is my aunt so whacked out and keeps nagging at me? Somehow her past must have affected her too. The external factors and familial factors cannot be disregarded when observing a person’s whole attitude and outlook.
I learned this the hard way. I thought it was only my paternal side that’s whacked out, but what, even my maternal side of the family? I thought that they were my only hope of saying, hey my family’s kinda normal too. BUT NO. When I found out about… some things… I almost had a migraine and my heart probably turned darker. I don’t know. I felt so down… in Filipino, ang bigat talaga ng loob ko. I’m still feeling the after effects and I instead of staying for our Chinese org’s celebration on Monday, I needed to go home and think. I was feeling depressed and I still feel that way. But I know that I have to concentrate on living. Yes… I need to live. Sorry if I’ve been a pain in twitter and plurk lately 
Coincidentally, I have made a draft of my new entry (this one) last week around Friday and guess what the topic is?
I’m going to share the Movies That Made Me Cry XD How… coincidental and good my timing was XD But take note, I don’t cry easily, I didn’t even cry last Sunday or the past few days. It takes extreemee cases to make me cry so having a movie make me cry is something for me. 
This is inspired by The Movie Blog when the editor posted his own.
Up
- I’d been hearing very good things about this movie last year and when I heard that Up was moved to August instead of the MAY 2009 SHOWING (same time as the US), I was enraged because I didn’t want to pirate this movie. It would be a disgrace to the awesome PIXAR team for wasting their hardwork and I really want to boost their sales and be a good customer. So I waited patiently and didn’t download despite my “pirating” reputation. And it was definitely worth the wait. I still wasn’t convinced that it would drag me emotionally but drag me it especially in the scene where only music played as we watched the beginning and ‘end’ of Carl and Ellie’s life. That scene tore my heart out. Plus the scene near the end where Carl was pinning the Ellie badge on Russel… I remembered how my parents were late and absent on my own scouting graduation… and my friend’s mum had to pin me instead. So there….
It’s a Wonderful Life
- This was probably my first 30s movie (or was that Gone With the Wind? XD) and again I’ve been seeing references in movies and books how people in America upheld the tradition of watching It’s A Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve (am not sure if this applies to all Americans, I think they don’t do this anymore?) and I being a curious being wanted to see what the hulabaloo was about. Again it was the life story of George Bailey that had me bawling. His dreams and hopes were shattered when responsibility took over and he had to sacrifice everything. But he did have something good, which is love (really cheesy but come on, he had a perfect wife with Mary!) and in the end, he realizes that he was indeed the richest man in town. After watching the movie, you’d think, would I ever become a George Bailey? Would I too affect that many lives and be someone in my community? It makes me feel sad that I don’t think I’ll ever get the same recognition as he did…
Return of the King
- I think I also cried in Fellowship but I’m not sure… so I’ll just put return here. Everything must come to and end someday and we’d be parting ways with our friends and loved ones and family. This is what I felt at the end of the movie was Frodo separates with his friends and goes off to the unknown. Now you’d really know that the trilogy is over. This AMAZING EPIC was actually coming to and end. The last part made me want to learn more and to know more about everything about Lord of the Rings.
But it will never come back… it’s finally the end.
Life is Beautiful
- Seeing a father’s love for his child and goes to the lengths of making jokes and having fun for his son INSIDE A NAZI CAMP is just… amazing. People probably just rotted and accepted their fate but this dad… he knew that he wanted his son to live. The ending did it for me. What love really!
Princess & The Frog
- I cried over the fact that Disney returned to 2D. That this could be probably up with the greats such as Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, etc. It wasn’t but it had a charm of its own! I cried at the part that fairy tales do seem to come true in their world. But now I know guys, happily ever after doesn’t come after marriage. It’s a WHOLE PROCESS that you need to maintain THROUGHOUT YOUR WHOLE LIFE. Don’t think that snagging a man would mean it’s over, everything is okay. HELL NO. I cried because the story was beautiful and how beautiful the song Evangeline was and to see that they finally KNEW what the NEEDED.
Toy Story 2
- Sarah Mclahlan’s song When She Loved Me made me burst into tears. Plus the scene of Jessie being abandoned…. the feeling of someone close to you… abandoning you and just forgetting EVERYTHING that you two did together. That’s heartbreaking.
When Harry Met Sally
- The two main leads were SOOOOO blind to each other and I cried over the YEARS they spent finding it out. But it was worth it still in the end. It was just soo loong though! But you can never tell in real life… it is that hard…
Fox and the Hound
- The ending did it. You have to watch this!
I can’t think of anything else now. I can’t remember a rom-com movie that made me cry. And why this is mostly Disney’s work of making cry… I don’t know why. There are probably be more and maybe I’ll add more to this list next time.
I hope that you’re doing better than me guys. Keep your chin up! And look forward to TOY STORY 3!! Here’s the OFFICIAL FULL trailer guys. And Ken meets Barbie XD Finally XD LOLZ I’m sure that there’ll be more twists and turns though! I can’t wait for JUNE!!

Yes, I have noticed that you’re not really fond of releasing your emotional baggage in your blog. *unlike me*. Cheer up, Tiff!
Ohhh. The song When She Loved Me also made me cry because of the lyrics and the meaning of the song.
Even UP. I felt sorry for the old man (forgot his name) when he lost his wife. Ohh. 
Anyway, I hope you’ll feel better.

Well.. we all need someplace to dump all our garbage don’t we? ^^ bombs away. keep it coming. It’s good for the heart.
ah…La Dolce Vita…
A beautiful Life…or Life is beautiful for some is perhaps the most beautiful movie I have ever seen in my entire life…
I saw it way back in High School while discussing the history of World War I.
The ending was just plain beautiful… no words could describe it… the hiding, the tank, the promise, the…everything! whew… time to look for it in the net to cherish it again. ^^ *pirate mode*
ps. Passion of the Christ also never fails to make me emotional. and deep impact too.

Belated Happy Valentines and Chinese Hew year dear!
*hugs* DId you have a good one?
I love how blogging plays a different role for each and everyone.
Without it, I don’t know how to express myself since I’m really bad at it. Haha.
I haven’t watched some of the movies you stated. Thanks, I’ll take note of them.
Haha. I haven’t cried in LOTR since I haven’t watched it. -.- Karibal kasi yan ng Harry Potter eh. Hahaha.

i hope you’ll feel better soon sis.. every family has their own dark side naman talaga and there’s no such thing as perfect family.. why not talk to them and tell them what’s bothering you.. maybe it will resolve the issues and it will even make you feel better..
i did cry also while watching UP.. it was a beautiful movie.. Carl thought all along that Elie did not get what she wished for and he partly blamed himself because of that.. but when he flip over the adventure book he saw that Elie did became happy and contented because of their marriage..
prior to watching the princess and the frog, i was an emotional wreck so maybe that’s why i also cried buckets.. i especially get emotional when the firefly died and gets what he wishes for, to be with his love, Evangeline, which is a star..

aww movies that make you cry :o i get the same from land before time ..

I don’t think any family is really ever perfect. We all have our skeletons in the closet and eventually we discover them all. My dad’s side always seemed the messed up one, but the older I get the more I realize that people in general are crazy, so family is crazy.
I can’t wait for June either! The movie that inspired my childhood is releasing a 3rd installment for the next generation, it’s almost poetic,
.
My list of movies that made me cry is too long to count. Most movies the ending is touching so I shed a tear or two the first time I see them, but a few get me every time. I think the top two, though, would be The Notebook and P.S. I Love You. No, P.S. I love you is the top, seriously the entire movie I was bawling.

They say that there’s no such thing as a perfect family. People may have a perfect family at first, but after some time, something will go wrong, and it’s all up to the members if they want to fix it or not. Extended family and the relationship with them is another thing. What’s good is that you’re part of a family, it makes a person feel complete, in some ways.
Toy Story 1 and 2 is a great movie, though it seems to be childish, it has some lessons that are instilled in the movie.

I think our blogs are a good way to rant sometimes. I do it on my Tumblr too. Keeping all our emotions to ourselves (especially the bad ones) are not healthy.
I hope you feel better soon. We can’t choose our family but I’m sure things will turn out right in the end.
About the movies, Up makes me tear up too! I tear up pretty easily so I find that a very touching movie.

I’m sorry about the personal things. But I really won’t mind reading entries about that on your blog. This is your blog anyway. It’s an outlet where you can express your emotions.
I hope you feel better soon. Cheer up. *hug* Ma’aayos ren ang gusot and problems. :3
Wow. Nice list. I also have a list of movies that made me cry. I easily cry… because I am a freaking crybaby. ;_; Especially when I witness touching scenes. Damn~~ ;_;

I’m so sorry to hear that something about your family upset you so much. =/ My parents have issues and upset me a lot, but the rest of my family is okay as far as I know. If you feel like getting it out, I’m here. <3
I don’t cry very easily either, and a movie has yet to make me cry. I can think of some that have brought tears to my eyes, but I haven’t actually cried, and couldn’t have even if I had tried.
I’ve never seen UP, but I’ve also heard great things about it. Maybe I’ll have to watch it one day!
I actually haven’t seen any of these movies except for The Return of the King and Toy Stoy 2. I love LotR.
Maybe I’ll watch some of these other movies someday. 
Probably not, I’m not a big movie person. xP
[Reply my friend]
oh my, the only movie I can relate to from your post is Pixar’s UP!
I soo love Russel, he’s way too chubby and everything! kudos to Pixar.
I even memorized the line out there like “It might sound boring, but sometimes it’s the boring stuff I remember the most.”

Hey, Tiff!
I hope you feel alright. You’ve always sounded so bubbly & joyful in your posts and it’s just sad when you’re sad.

Aha, I cried at Lilo & Stich 2!

Naku, I can relate sa mga movies that made you cry. Pero sis you know what? Dito ka sobra maiiyak, watch Haciko: A Dog Story sa watch-movies-links.tv. You’d really get the real grasp of loyalty.
