What Happened in Vegas is a kind of movie that tickled me a lot! I can’t help myself but laugh in most part of it. The movie is about a girl who was dumped by his boyfriend with the presence of her friends and a male employer- Jack Fuller (Ashton Kutcher) who was fired by his own father! Joy McNally (Cameron Diaz) was about to give a surprise party for his lover but the party that she prepared was ruined by his man’s revelation with regards to their current relationship. Both are desperate and sad about the situation that they’re in. They met at Vegas.They accidentally stayed in one suite.Perhaps something went wrong during the reservation period.However it was fixed.One night they hanged out together, ate together, party together, shared someone’s grief to each other and end up getting married.It’s like a drive-through marriage.

One time they had a fight and the woman threw a coin to the man. That coin was used by the man to play a roulette. Luckily, he got the jackpot amounting $3Million! Since they’re not in good terms, the court decided that the couple will undergo counseling and the doctor will give a report then the court will decide to split the money into two. Which means that if they’re having good relationship each receive $1.5Million.

Before the comedy film ended, the woman was turned between two lovers because his ex boyfriend is asking to have her back and he’s liking the man she marry in Vegas!

We sometimes don’t know the things that we’re giving up.

It’s better to do nothing and be happy than do something that you don’t like/love

Happiness is more important than money or any material possessions that we can have.

I noticed that when my nieces visit us, they usually get sick. Well, they’re not use to dusty place in here. They came from a cleaner and cold place and now that they’re here in the Philippines they can sometimes inhale unclean air which is not good for their health and weak lungs.

While we were all staying in Manila, they got sick also. The pediatrician of my 3 nieces advised my sister to buy a nebulizer. I got one from the pharmacy and it was really useful! The kids can sleep better after being nebulized. This medical equipment is mostly use by people who are having lung problems like asthma and the likes. Doctor Cheng advised ate Jackie to purchased one since she got 3 kids already and in the Philippines its common that children may have colds. Kids can’t take out the mucus/phlegm in their nose so with help of a nebulizer they can still breathe normally.

This is how our nebulizer looks like.

As of today, we are having bad weather condition and it really affects the kids. So they’re currently using it. It’s such a big help for parents. In addition it gives comfort to the ailing children too! They get better sooner/faster unlike not using it.

It’s important to know how to use a nebulizer.Well, lucky for us because I know how to use it in my future children if they’ll get the same illness.Before we can use it, we need to have a solution called sodium chloride.

Mothers you should be careful and pay attention to the dosage given by the doctors and pediatricians.

The movie Kung Fu Panda is really a funny one. My brother saw it already maybe a month ago and he was really telling me to watch the movie with them. I was busy then on something. When I saw it last week, I was like a kid who was very entertained by the actions showed. I enjoyed the movie! It made my day colorful after I saw it. My brother was right that it was falcetious. I understand that it’s perfect for the kids but there are good things that you can get from it. Lessons and good ideas were taught to guide us in our daily living.

The five animals in the story which are snake, monkey, tigress,praying mantis and Po Pnda are the group of wise/intelligent creatures on earth. These 5 strong animals can be compared to the group of people who have the spirit of leadership and teamwork.

Po Panda was accidentally chosen as the dragon warrior. The dragon warrior is the one expected to fight with the tiger who believed himself as the hailed dragon warrior since he was trianed by the master. Panda is slow and fat. Everybody believes that he’s not good and strong enough to face tiger. Tiger was trained well but to turned out to be a bad kind.

Panda learned the necessary things that he has to learn and practice with the help of his master. He defeated furious tiger and saved the rest of his fellow animals.

Kung Fu Panda featured the voices of Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan,Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman,Lucy Liu, Ian McShane, Seth Rogen, and David Cross

If you think that you can’t do something have faith. Believe that you can along with proper attitude and enough exercise. Constant Practice makes perfect. Moreover, you need to follow your master and mentor as well if you want to lean and excel. In other words,you have to believe to make things possible.

The movie WANTED is very strong. For me it’s harsh with those gun shots, bloody killings and hitting styles of human bodies. In addition, it has strong adult content also.I’d seen several action movies but this one, it’s not good for those who don’t want to witness bloody mess.It also show violence because Wanted is about assassination.In the film, there’s a group of fraternity who do killings to get justice and save people’s lives.In other words, they’re putting the law on their hands. The team leader was Sloan (Morgan Freeman).The group has this kind of philosophy->Kill one bad guy to save hundreds/thousands of innocent people. The group is a fraternity of assassins. They call their acts as the “Weapons of Faith”.

Wesley, the leading man (James McAvoy) was trained to become an assassin but a twist happened. He was wrong about what he believed in with regards to the group’s credibility and its way of making the law just and in getting justice.He was wrong of joining the group and do the things which he believe were right.He wasn’t the typical American guy in his age.He’s an accountant in a certain firm and considered by friends as not a “hot man” for girls!

In the end, he realized that everything which was told to him are all lies. Big lies that fooled him.Untrue revelations which allowed himself to kill people in a short span of time.It was still immoral though.He didn’t expect those things.It’s like he was surprised about what he did. For him it was unbelievable but he did commit all those things because of having that wrong perception.

Angelina Jolie was part of the said movie project.She acted as Fox. A woman with strength, ability and capability of killing their targets. Jolie was very sexy on the part where got out from a tub!

” Be certain with the things that you fight for!” Get necessary information that can help you in finding the right thing.In other words, ” Search for the truth before doing an action”.

Have you heard about Lanikai Resort? If not, this is a fresh resort which can be found in Madaum, Tagum City. Tagum is an hour ride from Davao. It’s still part of Mindanao. Tagum City is belongs to the province of Davao del Norte, Philippines.

Lanikai Resort is owned by the Tuazon family. It’s been around for decades now. Many are not aware that it exists. However, for years they’d been catering private and exclusive seminars/meetings. It is a perfect place to relax with fresh air and feel the nature under the giant oak trees planted in the vicinity. There are recorded company gatherings and business transactions done in the area. The Tuazon property which is now opened for the public is commonly called as the ” Heaven by the Sea”.

To experience the beauty of  Lanikai Resort is affordable. Trust me! For only Php 2,600 you can have an overnight stay for 2 plus breakfast! Lanikai Resort offers a fishing village, trekking, mountain biking and camping activities. The huge area is enough to have these kind of activities.They got wide forest!!! There are also customized packages, tennis and basketball court. The 7-kilometer river is not allowing illegal fishing.

In Barret, the 80-hectare land forest was developed. They’re planning to include it in their eco-tourism. In here, you’ll have close encounter with monkeys. There’s a variety of birds also. It’s a good place for outdoor activities. This coming September will be the grand opening of the Plantation. Tourism packages will be added to have a wonderful stay with lesser amount paid for expenses.

I think this Iho Plantation can be compared to Eden Nature Park of Davao. It’s an eco-tourism destination in Tagum City. Tagum is develpoing rapidly. In fact SM mall is about to be built. In addition, roads were widened and their municipal hall is under construction.

Lanikai is one of the unexplored resort of today. Be one of the first goers!!!

A new record is set for the longest corn barbeque grill in the world! The Philippines got it! The people in Sto. Tomas, Pangasinan worked hand in hand to break the record. Pangasinan is rich in the production of white glutinous corn. In fact they have the so-called Corn Festival! Two years of preparation is enough to test if they can do it! They made 3 dry runs before their final attempt!Last June they broke the record holder of 1.2 kilometers of corn barbeque grill which is Uruguay. The people living in Sto. Tomas succesfully made it!!!

They’re now on the  Guinness Book of  World Records for making it farther. They were able to make a corn barbeque grill of 3.8 kilometers! They were able to utilized 1,559 grill pieces and 93,540 corns!

CONGRATULATIONS to all our fellowmen in Pangasinan for their attempt and for their courage to do it!!!

In my group class, my students decided to watch a movie today. I prepared an activity to be done this morning but since they prefered to have a movie session, we’ll have it tomorrow. I am allowing them to do it because it’s their last week in the kanguage institute. Next week they’re going back in their native land and will start living a new life with better preparation for their chosen endeavours.

The title of the movie was 21. It’s my lucky number! 21 is the day of my birthday! We were able to finish it because we’re spending 2 hours in our group class. So the time we have is just enough to watch one. It was a great movie. I’m handling aboy’s group and they love playing cards and tricks. In fact, they’d showed me card magic. It was amazing.

The movie was about gambling and desires. The leading man in the person of Jim Sturgess is a smart guy. He’s a good student. Ben Campbell is an intelligent person and does great with numbers. His wit led him to his job promotion and greater things in life.With the help of his professor (Kevin Spacey), Ben together with a group which is composed of great casino players, were able to go to Vegas and bring home bucks of money!!! Ben wasn’t born from a rich family. He is a studious learner that’s why he’s hungry for party and expensive clothes and other luxurious stuffs that life can offer him. While in Vegas, his life is very different! Ben learned fast with the techniques, strategies and countings in playing blackjacks. He was then able to experience the kind life which made him feel like he’s walking on the clouds! He can do everything in Las Vegas unlike in Boston where he used to live and study.

Know more about the movie and see the full cast of 21.

These are the good things that we can get from the film 21:

To gamble is to risk everything you have-loveones, family and career

Better life is the price of hardwork

Plan ahead and think about your future.

Make use of your intelligence for a good cause/purpose

Money, girls and pedestal are not forever

Things acquired easily will be gone the same way too

Don’t go for wonderful things that are only passing. Choose things which can make you happy and satisfied.

A wart is a skin infection. It is seen as a small part of the skin which suddenly occur which is cause by viral infection.It can occur in our neck, body, hand and feet.The presence of Human Papillomavirus or HPV in warts make it contagious. It usually occurs in the human body at the age of 20 and up. Nobody’s immune with warts. According to a dermatologist, everybody can acquire it. However it’s not that noticeable for those who have whiter skin. If you have dark skin then it is more noticed by people.

There are 6 types of warts:

1. common wart
2. flat wart
3. filiform or digitate wart
4. plantar wart
5. mosaic wart
6. genital wart

The common causes listed of getting warts are aging, skin color, sun exposure, diabetes and pregnancy. If you observe that you already have warts go to the doctor and have it treated. Ask your doctor to take it out from your body. It is necessary to treat warts because when it is burned, the small and infected warts will mix with ordinary warts. Thus, allowing it to multiply or grow in number.

Warts can’t be cured but can be prevented. So be careful with your skin. You should not stay under the heat of the sun for a long time. If you do so, your warts will get darker and it will have Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). The sun has a great impact/factor in multiplying the number of warts in our body and worst infecting it.

Last Friday,I went out to see the theater movie Batman-The Dark Knight. The said exciting movie was starred by famous western actor Christian Bale and deceased Heath Ledger who played the role of Joker. Last week Bale was reported to be imprisoned for 4 hours in London Police Station. It was said that Batman leading man Christian Bale was very much affected with the death of his pal Heath resulting to high temper,unable to hold it and was filed a case which was an assault against his own family. He was then able to go out after he bailed.

Batman producers was able to create again a masterpiece. I like the movie! The sound effects were cool, the twist was fine and the changes they had made from the previous screening of Batman Begins was good. They did a good job looking at its concept and the choice of Batman’s new technological gadgets and his astonishing automobile plus the surprising big bike. Its sad to know that Bruce Wayne lost the woman she loves, Rachel Dawes. Furthermore, they did a good choice in picking up cast of characters.

The denouement is quite interesting! Even if Batman decided to quit their usual operations, he’s still be around to protect the Gotham city against all the evil men. He may not be around but he’s the Dark Knight of the people who’ll never stop to look after his fellowmen.

The movie was directed by Christopher Nolan and it’s still showing in Philippine cinema. Guys don’t miss it!!!!
