Karate Kid

 

  I wanted to make separate blog about the movie Karate Kid and this is my first attempt in making a movie review, it deserves one as well, it was too good than expected.

Well of course, the first time I saw the trailer I was so-so about this movie and was even hesitant with Jaden Smith, but after it showed,  it received good reviews and comments, even my nephew enjoyed it and he’s just 7 years old!

  It couldn’t be helped, it has to be compared with the old movie, which I watched as a kid and never enjoyed it. This is the one I’m talking about

  It has almost a different plot though, as the new Karate Kid portrayed by Jaden Smith has a “deeper” dilemma, he lives in China and feels like an outcast and bullied by a Chinese boy who turns out to practice Karate as a sport. And Jackie Chan a maintenance guy who knows the art and there’s a story behind him. Not just him, being a master and teaching. I’m not bad mouthing the old movie okay, I’m just a sucker for good stories really.

  For Jackie Chan, this wasn’t his usual role that he portrays and it just proves that he is a very flexible actor. He did very well (in my opinion) with his acting and of course at his age man, he can still do karate! haayaaah! lol. And for Jaden Smith this will definitely open doors for him. Upon filming this movie, his dad and mom Will and Jada we’re part of the producers and man, Jaden so looks like his dad. A complete carbon copy, even the facial expressions. I still have a hang over this movie and deserves a 2nd watching. All I can say is that I love this movie a lot, deserves in my list of favorite movies.

My verdict: 4/5 popcorns

Fun filled date

 

Hello readers! How are you all doing? It’s my 2nd day off today and I’m loving it, I was able to catch up on my 8 hour and more beauty rest, haha. Because yesterday had only 2 hours of sleep for the whole day and went to work after the fun-filled date with the BF then. We had breakfast together at Jollibee because I was craving for their longganisa meal for the longest time. Nothing beats Jollibee’s breakfast meals, yum! In the afternoon, we headed to Megamall to check out a few things and at the same time, just enjoy looking around at gadgets and girly stuff for me. We ended up watching there too, supposedly we we’re to watch at Robinson’s Galleria since it’s near the office but I like it better at Mega Mall. We decided to have dinner first then watch the movie Karate Kid, I thought of eating at the food court since we wanted something cheap, but it was so funny when we passed by Shakey’s I suddenly got un-decided of what to eat, but he knows me well and he was walking reaalllyyy slowly for me to think fast if we should go with Shakey’s or food court. haha. I made up my mind and we went inside Shakey’s. First I recommended that we eat the bunch of lunch, since it has everything already, but to our surprise while browsing at their menu was the Family deal 1 which had: Your choice of pasta or chick’ n chips, pizza, garlic bread and a pitcher of ice tea all for P541. Not bad at all eh? good for 2-3 persons. We also ordered additional Mojo’s n Dip with ceasar dressing, both our favorite!

                           Mojos and Dip with ceaser dressing served hot P85

                                                                            Pasta

                                                                                Pizza

                                                                      Garlic Bread

  This is such a good deal that I noticed most of the customers are ordering the same thing but others opted for chicken. It was quirky actually, ^_^ The food was served freshly cooked and importantly hot! When I saw the servings of the pasta I thought we couldn’t finish it because it was a-lot! the bits of meat was so flavorful it’s a rave. He also loved it that he finished off the plate, we both just love pasta so much (Can’t wait to cook for him).

  As for the pizza, I’m not a fan of their Pizza both thin and thick crust. I don’t know why, I just don’t. It’s not that their pizza is bad, maybe it’s the combination of flavors or something. The garlic bread was as usual not bland at all, another spoon of approval. Our total bill cost us around P687.75 and tipped the waiter for fast and good service. ^_^ As usual, they always ask if we can answer a survey sheet which we gladly answered and at the back of the survey is -

   His avatar of himself. Sorry for the bad lighting it’s too yellowish. I think it’s a good idea that he makes this every time he eats out, who knows people may wonder who this guy is right? Here’s a sneak peek of his works http://diobrando.deviantart.com/. He’s both a gamer and an artist

Shakey’s  isn’t really new but we keep coming back when we crave for pasta and Mojo’s. I guess it’s the service that makes it different to us customers. So far, the branches which has good customer service are SM Bicutan and Megamall Ortigas.

By the way, I couldn’t resist but take this picture, gotta love Puss in Boots right?

My Verdict: 4/5 spoons (the 3.5 for food and the additional point goes to their customer service)

Of course we’ll be eating there again when we crave for pasta!

More blog posts coming up!

L’oreal Damage Repair Shampoo

 

Happy Tuesday Ladies, how are you all doing so far? As for me sleep deprived as usual and looking forward for my day off from work (just one more day). Well it’s the 15th so payday again, WOOT! I’ve managed to budget my money just in time for the big step of “ensuring” my future, hehe. A good friend of mine and I plan to have a girl’s out pampering day this September, so we can have enough time to save up, which is a good idea too! It’s been a while since we spent time together or even talk since she’s in the morning shift and I’m on graveyard shift. I hope that we can push through with our plan.

 

Anyway, I just couldn’t resist buying the new product of L’oreal, aside from the many products they have out there (shampoo products), this was the only thing that made me want to buy and hope that it is effect as they say in the commercial. So here it is

                                            The 375ml P270 and 180ml P165

 

   Aside from this being a need, it is also a want so it serves as rewarding myself, I got much a much higher pay as expected which was a surprise. Maybe next month it will be cut by a thousand due to taxes, etc. Maybe in 2 weeks I hope there will be a (if not big, maybe slight) difference with my hair and will make a review in 2 weeks time. I also bought food for the office since I plan to just make baon at work. Mostly asian spicy noodles, hot choco, chips and century tuna’s corned tuna (yeah I know it isn’t very healthy) haha!

 

  Well, it’s still a long week ahead, till then!

Weekend Surprise

 

Happy Sunday Ladies! Hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend. Traveling every Sunday is just a breeze in the MRT, just wished it was always like that specially on weekdays.

For today’s “little” surprise which I wasn’t expecting made my day a little better. I wanted to attend Espresso Comics’ Launch last Saturday but couldn’t get off to work (more about Espresso comics http://espressocomics.wordpress.com/) So, the BF then told me how the event went and I was hoping to get free copy of the comics but told me there was only one copy of the magazine comics, then slowly handed me a Garnier loot bag from the event.

 

                                                                Inside:

 

  It was sweet of him actually, when he gave me the bag I felt I was a kid being handed a bag of candies. Pretty much the same reaction at that time :) Thanks so much dear, I really appreciate it much. The facial wash and toner is nothing new to try since I’ve been using this for a month now, although I haven’t tried the self heating mask yet. I will be making my review about it on the first try and if I like it that much then I’ll definitely be buying this for sure. My week ended with a nice touch and I love it!

 

  Remember my post about the Nature’s Spa Shampoo, well I can’t give a thorough review about it yet since I didn’t buy the conditioner variant. I stopped using this as I noticed that it doesn’t do anything in my hair, or maybe because I should have bought the peach one which is for dull hair. So, I just used this for my 2 cats, haha. Yeah I know! but it would be a waste if I just leave this unused right?

                                                 This is what I’m talking about

  But I’m not sure if I’ll be buying this again, I knew I should have bought the L’oreal Shampoo. But I’m glad I didn’t because there’s a new product that came out just recently I believe, The L'oreal New Total Repair Shampoo and Anne Curtis is the endorser for this product. This is what my hair needs, I’ve been recently conscious about how frizzy and dry it is so I’m giving this product a shot.

 

 

That’s all for now! My kitties says goodnight too!

Rewarding Myself + Gadgets

Happy Saturday Morning everyone, lucky for those who can spend a long weekend plus a declared holiday!
In my previous post, I made a list of rewarding myself on make-up products, this time it’s for gadgets. Ever since the first LG cookie came out, I instantly fell in love with it. Sleek and black, just the way I like it in mobile phones. Currently, they released a new LG Cookie KM555e which now has wi-fi capability, 3 MP camera, full touch and social networking. Which fits my needs perfectly. Also loving the specs!
                                             LG Cookie KM555e
Key Features:
- 3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
- microSD, up to 16GB
- bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP
- Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate
- MP4/H.263 video player
- MP3/WAV/AAC audio player
- Music ID
- Organizer
- Voice memo
- T9
I really love it! and I think it costs around P10,000 max since SRP is around P7000++ not bad really, I don’t mind spending for a phone that costs P15,000 or less. I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying this, this year since the other gadget that I’m planning to buy will take a long time, what is it? it’s the ASUS EEe netbook 1008P Karim Rashid collection. BF then says that it fits perfectly since I love anything color pink and the features fits my needs, mostly because it’s pink. But for that, I would need at least P20,000 more or less.

Another reason for buying a netbook is because I’ve had my 15 inch ACER laptop with me for 4 years, UNTIL we got robbed at home just last week. Good thing it was the only item stolen in our house. So it’s one of the reasons why I want to buy my own laptop, for now mom was able to have an X Deal with a client in exchange of a Compaq presario for the family to use. I just want my own really, so I can also bring it in the office or where ever I am. Don’t you just love how pink it is? I’m just so kikay really, sometimes BF then just does the face palm when I make the quirkiest comments. hehe.  
So there goes my list of rewarding myself, but the make-up will have to be the first priority of course, since I want to try those and make my own reviews about it. But it would have to wait for now, since my top most  priority is that savings account. Will definitely blog about it next month.
On other things, my weekends are spent on weekdays, and I’m looking forward to spending time with the BF then  on Wednesday. This is one of my most favorite photos of him. Happy Happy!
