Fantastic Four [2015]

August 5, 2015

Cinema 3, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City

Oh, I'm trying to make a review here. Don't hate me, I'm not real critic (I don't even know how to make one), I'm just a movie goer that wanna say my two cents worth.

I don't wanna go further to the details of the story because you can read them in Wikipedia or any other sites.

10 years ago, I watched the same movie title, Fantastic Four. So basically, almost everything here is about comparing the 2 movies.

What I Like This Movie

I like this movie because the story started from 5th Grade showing the solid friendship between Reed Richards and Ben Grimm which doesn't happened 10 years ago.

I also like how Sue's power became very useful compare to the previous one.

What I Don't Like This Movie

I don't like how they execute the movie because as a normal being, I can't feel the super heroes around me. Yeah, they maybe saved the world by fighting Doctor Doom but unlike the previous Fantastic Four, they were literally saving people yet struggling in fighting the villain.

Sorry but noticed that I was not convinced about Miles Teller aka Reed Richards' acting that he is a genius one. I don't know but I was just not convinced but on the contrary the younger version of him did a very good job.

Verdict

To be honest, I still like the 2005 movie than this! But great story though! No wonder there are lots of negative reviews to this movie. Oh, I forgot to mention, first day of showing here in the Philippines but I can count in my fingers the people inside the movie house including us. Sad :'(

Trip to Olongapo 2015

May 9-10, 2015

Olongapo, Zambales

Being away for a while or out of town trips has always been the reason why I'm excited for the next days. The feeling of thinking what to do while in there or what I'm going to experience is what excites me more. But nonetheless, just doing nothing in other place or new place is just enough for me. Taking pictures while waiting for the hours to pass will never be out of the picture. Ay, ano daw? Whatever!

This was my first time to visit the City of Olongapo. I've heard that there's a lot of bars along the highway, now, I can confirmed to that. A lot of foreigners walking down the streets and some of them are not really foreigners coz they're locals. They just look like one because of one of their parents is foreigner.

This was also my first time to ride a jet ski. For Php2,500.00/hour (discounted rate, regular rate is PHP3,000.00) you can never tell how fun it was. All I can say, it was a hell of adventure.

My Fear of Dogs

January 2, 2014

After our dog Brownie, askal, killed in front of me and after I was almost bitten by almost twice of my size during our visit in Makilala, North Cotabato when I was in grade school, I started to fear to be near with dogs specially the barking one. If they bark near me or at me, my feet can't almost move and shake like they perform without my consent. I don't exaggerate things but I really can't help it. So I always, as much as possible, get away from them.

This feeling never get away with my system even if I got older. The memorable experience of it, was during our dance rehearsal for our Christmas party in 2010 where we went to the house of our supervisor to practice, without knowing that they have a very huge dogs (exaggerated). But huge enough to eat me alive (for real). I don't know what happen but I almost can't remember how I got in the house passing those animals. The next thing I know, I quit the group, and luckily they won. So maybe, it was just my destiny not to be part of them so they could win.

On December 20, 2014 my housemate bought a Shih Tzu, he named him Pray. A very cute one. And most of all very active and sweet one. At first, I got scared, even if he is sweet, to touch him specially when he bark to Kit, a cat. I felt like he really wants to attack Kit, so every time he barks, I always caught myself folding my legs in our fording bed. Hahaha.. Funny but true.

Now Kit and Pray are now like best of friends because they cuddle or bite each other a lot. So Pray doesn't bark that much. If he bark, not that loud anymore and you can always feel that his barks are not to scare you but to play with you. So I started to like him already. From this day forward, I am playing with him already. Pictures below can show you how we get along.

Maybe I don't fear dogs anymore, or just depends on the kind of dogs, I really can't tell coz I still fear them when I see a big one in the street even the one at the malls.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Passing to the mall and have some poses would be a lot to cherish.

November 12, 2014

This is my first time to meet Rendel here in Metro Manila but not a good timing for catching up coz I was sending him off to Zamboanga to attend the burial of his little brother Ricky who died on Monday, November 10.

NESCAFÉ Cappuccino is the most indulgent coffee I’ve ever had!

Coffee has always been a big part of my daily morning routine. My day is incomplete without it.

NESCAFÉ Cappuccino is the most indulgent coffee I’ve ever had! The aroma of it gives you the feeling of wanting to smell it first before drinking that will definitely gives you the reason smile. The smile of happiness and satisfaction.

The coffee foam and choco sprinkles make it a more indulgent experience. When the coffee foam touches your lips, it will stay their and form like a mustache that most of the time, I make fun of it. The choco sprinkles completed the reason why it has its inviting aroma and a tasteful flavor.

How about you? How indulgent your cup of NESCAFÉ Cappuccino?
