Sex and the City : The Movie

The movie is all about the continuing adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda as they live their lives in Manhattan four years after the series ended.

I liked this movie a lot. I've been watching it in HBO at times when all we need is someone to talk straight to our brain much like Gilmore Girls on regular TV... If you prefer witty and no nonsense dialogues then this is the one for you. I watched it with my wifey, she I think enjoyed it too... Even if I didn't like the place (you know how filthy SM Cinemas sometimes are!) I enjoyed it a lot. I kinda missed the points and jerks of their New York City life bring to anyone of us. Yeap! you know how that would affect someone rural like most Pinoys are...sheesh!

Well, let me see if I remember where they were in the movie...
Kim Cattrall aka Samantha is in chemo, she has this model turned steady boyfriend all the way but she, after YEARS, seem still unsatisfied with him. She thanked that boy, and stayed single at the end. Maybe in the hopes of finding a new one. She celebrated her 50th birthday in the movie! ^_^

Cynthia Nixon, aka Miranda is still married to Steve, not having that much action though... they still are trying to get their son raised.. Since they did not have sex that much, Steve gets into trouble as he blurted out the truth that he had an affair with someone else because he has been not dealt with in 6 months. Go figure! But in the end they still loved each other and gave it another try.

Kristin Davis aka Charlotte is pregnant! After they adopted a chinese girl they named Lili, she just found out she's pregnant with their new daughter Rose. ^_^
She crapped in her pants by the way!! hahahaha

Sarah Jessica Parker aka Carrie on the other hand really was in Melon Collie,,, You will really really feel mad at BIG played by Christopher Noth because he was not able to muster enough strength to get married. On the day of her wedding, she cried a river. Louise played by Jennifer Hudson although not award type role helped her through the ordeal. The whole thing was probably because Miranda mentioned that things will just get ruined if they wed *coz she was mad at Steve at that time when she said that* but in the end... she survived that and got back her $ 525.00 Manolo Blahniks!

The movie and everything they wore was fabulous! I'm giving this 5 KUMAGS just because of witty content... I like smart movies you know! ^_^

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. ^_^
