21- A nice movie! ^_^

BLACKJACK was the name of the game. Ben Campbell is an MIT student incredibly good with numbers. He needs money so he can get into Harvard Med School. His simple geek life changed. Doing good in Linear Equations, he met Mickey Rosa played by Kevin Spacey and got invited in a group called the Black Jack Team.

With 5 members comprising of 3 spotters and 2 big players, they all went to Las Vegas and started working on casinos turning them bottoms up! Clearing them up required the team. Then one night when he lost focus because of personal reasons, he lost a lot as well. Mickey took him out of the team and got him caught, ransacked his apartment and got everything that he earned, even the money he was saving for Harvard.

With nothing to lose, he pretended to make amends with Kevin Spacey and got back on the team. Not knowing he only set him up so he can get his money back.He got Cole Williams played by Laurence Fishburne easy retirement money and got all his friends to join in and rob the casino of millions.

Now he got his revenge. All in all it was a very nice movie. I thought sometimes the scenes were predictable, but some were twisted a lot here and there.... I give this movie 4 KUMAGS!!!!

When saving Euros REALLY matter…

My brother (bragging aside) is a famous executive chef in Dublin, Ireland. He often calls home and talks to everyone about what he’s doing. He keeps us updated on his latest successes in Europe and who what when where and how he deals with people on that side of the globe.

Just this past year, he had remarkable things done with the hotel he works for. He’s one of the reasons why they won some of the country’s premier awards. He eventually became Employee of the Year obviously! He’s going back home to the Philippines in July and probably travel to New York afterwards. But of course he whispered something to me about planning to buy his own laptop computer.

Since he had big news, he tried calling home. Then again his eagerness to buy one in the UK was getting bigger. He tried numerous local stores in Ireland but that was really too expensive compared to the rates in the Philippines, Canada and the United States. There were local computer stores in Ireland but the rates were too high for my watch list. So after a few convincing words from his handy dandy personal Computer Engineer (that’s me!), he never bothered to buy there at all. Until I recommended that when he goes to New York, he should take advantage of black friday… Asians that we are, we were a little unnerved about this event in the US. Nobody hears about it at all until you receive the details in your Thanksgiving Day paper. The webby that I was, I read on the Internet where he can purchase all gadgets online. The prices were way cheaper compared to European rates (taxes and all) and priced lower than in the normal US stores. Now he tried this site out since they promised black friday ads before anyone else. From Asia to Middle East and Europe, he can use the web site to search for best deals in the United States from virtually anywhere in the world. Bought a Dell Laptop Computer from Circuit City and I tell yah the deal was so sweet! It even matched the European counterpart at almost half the price. This was one big convenience for him of course! Saved a lot of money too since Christmas time was a big deal in the Philippines! I’d probably try this out when I would need a present from him on holidays. Hahah! Aren’t you glad I told you about this? ^_^ Tell your relatives in the US or elsewhere in the world about the site and they probably won’t get hassled that much too! xoxo

Metamorphosis - Changes are Inevitable

This blog has been with me for several years. It has parts of it telling my ups and downs. I can't believe its going to change a bit for the better. Yes ladies and gentlemen, something big is going to happen to this blog...and I like change.

I'm the best guy to listen to when there are some things in life you should know about, the perspective of an all knowing guy as my friends call it. About anything under the sun! Funny but I feel the same. Not that I'm trying to do that but I think it just became effortless with me... with everything that I've experienced in my so called life... I should know." Let me just take the challenge now to prove it to you.

This week has never been better. I've seen people here and there who needed my help. The people pleaser that I am, I'd gladly do that.

I'm inlove... there are about 2 things that could happen when this come about. It's either I'd feel happy while on the relationship, or feel rubbish because as much as I'm trying to keep this other person happy....it doesn't turn out like what I want it to be.It hurts as bad as you think, that's the gamble you have to take. Taking risks is not that easy as everybody knows. But really, everyone would try it just to experience how it feels to belong to someone. The feeling of waking up each morning to anticipate someone thinks of you everytime. Things should change with everyone's lovelife, learn from the past and enjoy what promises it brings to new ones after that.

These changes will happen to my blog just like the changes in my life...and it is inevitable. Nobody can stop it, because it is meant to happen. Fate. That's how it means in a single word. You just hope something good comes out of it. ^_^

CHARICE with David Foster & Friends

Well, this kid has indeed come a long way. She is so lucky to have the opportunity to be with the best singers/performers in the world.

From the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Alicia Keys, Brian McKnight, Katherine McPhearson, Kenny G and Josh Groban to name a few."I had the great pleasure of being able to stand inside behind the stage when she was performing... she has a beautiful voice," as the famous Josh Groban said.

Famous chef Wolfgang Puck who mede food for the event and famous celebrities also saw the show with his wife could not get enough of Charice. Puck's wife even said, "I want to be your mother from now on."

Charice got a standing invitation from Wolfgang for free dinners with him and his wife every time Charisse is in Beverly Hills and I bet that will be good!!! ^_^ YUM-O!

After her songs, Charice got two standing ovations. Some even cried during her performance, and she received loud cheers and applause after each song... Aren't you kinda proud to be Filipino?! ^_^
