Movies...Movies...

Half of the year is almost over. Time to review the five movies I've watched for the past months. I'm not an expert when it comes to movies, so whatever I write here is purely based on my taste and preference. 

Let me start with the first movie I watched at the beginning of the year, The Grey. 

I watched this film with my good friend, Lhyza and she told me that I should have warned her. There were scenes in the film where wolves suddenly attack the group of survivors from the plane crash. Actually, I watched this movie because of Liam Neeson. I was bored and I remembered that my friend is coming to my place, so I invited her to see the movie. I think the movie is great! It's deep and scary at the same time. I was hoping that the main character would be able to survive till the very end of the film, only to find out that the movie's ending is a hazy. Still, that makes the movie awesome. You will really think if he survived or not!

Overall, I give the movie a 6/10. But story and acting-wise, I give it an 8/10. I'm a Liam Neeson fan after all. :)

The next movie that I watched was The Hunger Games! 

I VOLUNTEER as a tribute!

Lhyza and I watched this filmed in Shang Ri La.I've read the book that's why I was excited to watch it on the big screen. I even posted a status on my Facebook account about this movie. While watching, I felt great because I was trying to remember the scenes from the book. I didn't expect that all of them will be included because of airtime. I liked the movie, Jennifer Lawrence moved me and almost made me cried when she shouted "I volunteered!" However, I felt a little dizzy because of the camera shakes. After watching it, I became a J-Law fan. No comment about Josh and Liam. Certainly not my type. LOL. Overall, I give it a 7/10.

I watched two movies last April, namely Battleship and The Avengers. 

First reason why I watched this was because of Liam Neeson. However, I was kinda disappointed when I found out that his scenes were very short. I even thought that Battleship wasted his talent. But oh well, I had to deal with it because in the first place he's not the main actor in the movie. I had no reason to rant. Peace!

I dunno but I really enjoyed watching Battleship even though there were some loopholes in the story. Maybe I was just amazed with it's special effects. Or maybe it's Taylor Kitsch. Or Rihanna. 

It's just my opinion but I think it's a mixture of Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and Transformers. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed watching it. When I got home, I immediately search the name Alexander Skarsgard on the net. He's so damn gorgeous! I'm in love! Haha.

I'm giving Battleship an 8/10.

Up next is the The Avengers!

While watching Thor last year, I fell inlove with Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki. I was really looking forward to him this year. Well, he never let me down. He's the best villain for me. :-).

I should say that the casting is SICK! It's AMAZING!

I have some favorite lines from the movie. 

Loki: I have an army!

Tony Stark: We have a HULK.

Captain America: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that away and what are you? 

Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist? 

Since I really had fun watching this film, I gave it a 9!! Can't wait for Thor 2 but I'm hopeful that there will be enough exposure for my Tom. LOL

And finally, just this month I watched Dark Shadows with my friend, Sam. We both like Johnny Depp so we agreed to watch it before our shift. I don't wanna elaborate on this, but I should have watched another film. Period. 

I Miss my Puppies :'(

I miss my puppies already. I hope they're eating very well. I wanna see them already. TT.TT

See you when I get home!

Holy Week :)

Spending Holy Week is a MUST for me! 

Why? It's the time wherein I am able to spend longer time with my family especially my parents. I remember when I was young, we spent Holy week with our friends and neighbors at the beach, but now, not anymore. We have our own priorities already and somehow I kinda feel awkward already. I dunno why...but it's how I feel. 

Last Friday, I arrived at home in the afternoon because I had to work last Maundy Thursday. I'm not complaining because we're payed doubled. LOL. And besides, traffic condition is awful on those days because there are a lot of people who travel to their provinces. I was just worried because I was not sure if there are available buses to Batangas during that time. But thank God, there were but it took me a long time at the terminal because passengers are quite few already. Most of them were in the province already. 

My niece and nephews, my cousin's children were persistent to go to the beach, so I granted their wish. Saturday morning, we went to the sea with my parents and our new puppies, Prince and Princess. 

When we arrived at the sea, the sun is already up! Such a great scenery! Perfection indeed!

My nephews and nieces went to the water already and my parents took the dogs onto the water. Princess showed her skill in swimming while Prince seemed a little scared. LOL. Me? I'm searching for something...

Before 8am, we went home already because the sun is totally up. What a day! :)

Happy Birthday to ME :)

Gifts....gifts.... gifts.... 

I'm posting some pics of presents I received last April 9 from special people who took time to give me something. To all of you, thank you very much! I don't really care much if I receive something on my birthday to be honest. I'm already happy with greetings from people who remember that it's my birthday. So, to all of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)

Honestly speaking, I didn't receive yet the gift that I asked (secretly) for my birthday. I guess, only time will tell when will I receive it or will I ever receive it. But I'm still keeping myself optimistic that someday He'll grant my birthday wish. God is great! :)

Game winner

I woke up early, thanks to my headache. Kinda pissed off right now. I checked what happened to Maria Sharapova's finals game in Miami and found out that she lost again. Maybe it's not yet the time. Maybe at Rolland Garros this year. =)

Well, I went to bed early coz I woke up early, too yesterday morning to catch Dallas game against Orlando. It was one hell of a ballgame. Orlando led for almost 46 minutes, then at the last 2 minutes, Dallas took over. Dirk sunk the game winner! That was a tough shot because the opponent was defending him well, but he still nailed it!  He's a beast indeed! Sooo proud! =).

Speaking of this man, I just found out from his interview that he's already engaged! Congratulations Dirk! The audio is here: http://bobanddanshow.tumblr.com/post/19965549332.

Inspiring CF

 

There's no doubt that when I'm down, I always watch their NBA finals games against Miami Heat. I dunno but their championship made a BIG impact on me. Sounds like a fairytale but they really won a championship last year. And regardless of this year's result, they are WORLD CHAMPS! and DIRK is GREAT!

Kidding aside, this week has been tough. I'm faced with an adversity which I dunno how to deal with. Damn! I'm not yet ready to speak about it, probably in time. I'm still keeping positive about it though. This too shall pass.

God, please help me.
