Hi Guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long time no see! I've not been in cinema for quite some times, because the movie these days are just blah..but! It's starting to get better, one by one, good movie start to show up. Starting with Gravity..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just a warning, super spoilers ahead if you haven't watched and don't mind then read along. But if you mind, go watch then come back pretty please see if we think alike..Or if you don't feel like watching this basically one location and a few cast movie but you wanna know sort of like what happen then read along, I promise I get you filled up..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://wallike.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/2013-Gravity-Movie.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, let me just say kudos for whoever make the trailer for this movie. It's freakin' nerve wrecking and depressing..I admit my nerves are wrecked just by watching the trailer..it makes me feel horrid, coz you know in space once you flew you're basically gone..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Film/Pix/pictures/2013/10/8/1381249793789/Gravity---Sandra-Bullock--010.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Story begins with Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) who is on her first ever space mission trip, repairing a telescope something..something..(I don't really quite get what is she trying to repair LOL) on the satellite. On the mission with her, there's a few other people one of them is a veteran astronauts Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) who is on his last space mission. In the time of happening, he was using some kind of machine that allows him to drive (walk?) around the space (Oh for god's sake let me google what the thing called first!). Okay, the thing is called Manned Maneuvering Uni<span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">t </span></span>which allowed the astronauts to sort of moving in space..The reason why I need to mention this is because this MMU will come in handy later on..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a warning from Houston that there might be a satellite debris happening due to a chain reaction caused by Russian missile attack to their own dysfunctional satellite, they have to pack up and move to a safer location. But satellite debris come faster than warning, the explorer got hit even before they have the chance to get in. Dr. Stone found herself free falling in space (quite scary if you ask me!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://blacksheepreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/gravity-movie-686-1374709085.jpg" width="600" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a while of twirling in space, lost of connection with Houston and Kowalski and a lot of panicking later, Kowalski finally answer to Stone's desperate calls and ask her location. I don't really know how Kowalksi know where Stone is just by her information that she can see the Russian satellite shuttle from where she is, probably he is a veteran and he knows space so well? But he did find her (fiuh!) Why he can find her is because he's riding the MMU (lucky him! or else he will be lost in space and the end for the movie).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://unrealitymag.bcmediagroup.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gravity1-500x333.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After Kowalski get Stone, they go back to the Explorer and found that they are the only survivors and that the Explorer is totally damaged. They planned to hike (ya, I particularly remember Kowalksi say hike, I thought it's kinda weird he use the word hike) to the Russian shuttle and use their pod to go back to earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their plan went smoothly they hike to the Russian shuttle smoothly, the problem happen when landing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's just say they crashed to it and they can't grip anything at all (all scene you see from trailer). You know what happen next, Stone's feet got tangled with cables and two lives hanging by the loose cables..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img7/GravityFlyingposterartTethertsr04a.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next thing happen is just so sad, I feel like it's Titanic all over again and I cried (almost sob T_T ) Kowalksi asked Stone to let go of him because the cables are not strong enough to sustain both of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's like "Let Go!" and "No, I got you I got you" and "No you must let go" and "I'll come and get you" things like that..and it's just so sad..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3316871/gravity_inline_2.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stone finally let go after promising Kowalksi that she'll make it inside the Russian air lock and go back to earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Gravity" src="http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gravity-movie-review-sandra-bullock-shiop.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After this, it's mainly Stone's adventure to go back to earth. Of course, it's not smooth at all..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's just something wrong all the time. First, after she get in to the airlock the shuttle caught fire and</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
she must escape by launching the pod from the shuttle..After she successfully launch it guess what happen next? The parachute got tangled with the shuttle body so that the pod cannot go anywhere. She then bravely go outside and detached the parachute only to find another debris come her way! Cut long dramatic scene short the pod finally detached from the shuttle BUT it ran out of fuel! God damnit I mean it's like a bunch of unfortunate event series happening to her! After a serious attempt of desperation, she thinks there's no way out and she choose to turn off the oxygen level and just sleep her way to death.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the oxygen gets lower, hallucination of Kawolski came and reminded her of one little thing she could do to help her get out of space! She wakes up, on the oxygen and the engine and succesfully made it to her next stop Tiangong the chinese shuttle. After a few bumpy attempts to launch the chinese pod she finally succeed and go back to earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really enjoy this movie, and let me just take a sentence here to say how AMAZING Sandra in this movie! She totally shine! Clooney not so much as he's gone lost in space halfway in the movie so I can't say much about him. Bottomline, this movie is breath taking, heart pumping in the first half and then the suspense pretty much goes downhill after Stone got herself in the pod..I'll rate this movie 4 of 5 and give Sandra Bullock a 10 coz she's just that amazing she just proof herself to the world she's not just a drama/comedy romantic stars but she can pull suspense and action too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you enjoy this long (hopefully not boring) review of Gravity and see you in the next one!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, I'm excited about...</div>

<br />
HAHA that's a mouthful of title right?! But it's true this recipe I'm about to share is that good, it's super easy, very yummy, low fat not to mention it's raw and vegan! Only take 5 ingredients and 2 steps, I'm not even kidding!<br />
I put this pudding on instagram last night and my family and friends have been asking me to share the recipes so here it is..<br />
<br />
The 5 Ingredients you need are (this is for one serving, just double or triple up if you want to make more):<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>1 pc Avocado (Make sure it's ripe or else it won't be as creamy. Pitted and slice..)</li>
<li>1/2 cup of almond milk (you can use soy, hazelnut, low fat, anything you want you can use full cream too but then it won't be as low fat..)</li>
<li>1/4 cup of cocoa powder </li>
<li>4 tbsp of honey (you can add in more later if you want it to be sweeter)</li>
<li>Salt (Literally just a pinch to bring the chocolate flavor more chocolatey)</li>
</ol>
<br />

<br />
Long time no movie monday! I know right! I miss writing a movie post as well, but lately there are no good enough movie to review. The last movie I watched worth reviewing is The Conjuring! It's so scary but gooood..but the idea of posting ghost pictures in my blog is just not going to happened haha..<br />
<br />
So, yesterday my husband forced me to watch The Internship..honestly my opinion about watching funny movies in cinema first is a waste of money and second all the funny segments have been put in the trailer so no point watching them and third there are no special effect or some sort so it's totally not worth watching in cinema better in blue ray or download? So I'm super reluctant to watch this but halfway thru the movie I start to enjoy it..<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="The Internship" src="http://www.marketplace.org/sites/default/files/styles/primary-image-610x340/public/internship-movie-poster.jpg?itok=hsbKk8B8" width="600" /><br />
<br />
The story is about 2 old school salesman Nick (Owen Wilson) and Billy (Vince Vaughn), who lose their job because the company decided to computerized their system so they didn't need human to go sales door to door anymore. Lost and confused because their job is all they know, not to mention in despair Billy try to find some job over the internet until he got them an internship at Google..<br />
<br />
The overall movie experience is 6.5 out of 10, half way through the movie is pretty dreary and the storyline is pretty stereotype and predictable but I managed to (let's say) pull out a few lessons along the way..<br />
<br />
<img alt="The Internship" src="http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/26/ce/26ceee4866a5c5a1e87cadc6b077ee79.jpg?itok=YvpglWkh" width="600" />
Lesson#1: <b>No matter how old you are, you can always learn new things..</b><br />
Nick and Billy is old school and so much older compared to the other interns, they belong to the 80's and not technology literal but when they scored the internship in Google (thanks to their out of the box answer during the interview and their age [google is open for diversity]) they meet new people, they're exposed to a new world they don't even know and managed to learn along the way and even inspire people who despised them at first..<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="The Internship movie" src="http://www.sentieriselvaggi.it/public/articoli/53093/Images/owen%20wilson%20vince%20vaugh%20the%20intership.jpg" width="600" />
Lesson#2: <b>You can always learn something from people, no matter how old, how young, whatever ethnicity they are, male, female, the point is if you want to see something good in somebody you can learn from them.</b><br />
In the beginning of the internship, all the interns have to form a team of 5 and team who win the most challenge will get the full time job. As predicted, nobody wants to be team with Billy and Nick and these other kids, the Asian, the Indian?, and the white geek..so they're forced to be team. They started pretty bad as a team mate but Billy quickly act like a leader and bring the team together. In the end, they learn so much more than anybody in the other team because of their background diversity and of course real life experience Billy and Nick have..<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="The Internship Rose Bryn" src="http://i0.wp.com/rorschachreviews.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/the-internship-rose-byrne.jpg?" width="600" />
Lesson#3: "<b>You don't want to wakeup with regret on your calendar in the morning</b>"<br />
(Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with the exact quote) This is what Nick say when he's trying to ask the beautiful Google Executive Dana (Rose Bryne). Of course, finally she say yes..It's quite true, whatever you want to do just do it, as long as it's a good thing, just go for it..<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="The Internship Graham" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRzIGIhhGmAW16Tdne5y0Orc8uAFwqR98-Lrz1LrAmkiqLybSCRP6rxJ8ktL5TQjdGJA0vWdzlUFtYPyZClg8UA1K9hMnFKHy2ooZ0jWDepRcrqDWKPjHVCv4pFaXxded46Nt2Yjqsno/s1600/Max+Minghella_THE+INTERNSHIP.jpg" width="600" />
Lesson#4: <b>You won't get far by becoming a bully or the bad guy</b><br />
Graham, a very ambitious intern keep bullying Nick and Billy since the start. He even bully his own team member because he's fat. In the end as we all know this character won't win even if they look like they are at first..<br />
<br />
As predicted (I told you, this movie is predictable) Billy's team won and they got the full time job..<br />
<br />
And now, I tell you what I have been dying to watch!<br />

<br />
As you may know (or not) I live in Singapore, and we all know how big Singapore is (ya I know it's pretty small), sometimes I get bored with the normal activities like watching movies, hunting for new eating place or hanging out in the mall (FYI, there are a lot of emerging nice shopping malls in Singapore, no not in Orchard..Singapore is not all about Orchard you know ;)) so a few weeks ago me, hubby and a few of his friends went..Prawning!<br />
<br />
I never went prawning before so I don't really know what to expect, I just know that prawning is something like fishing and fishing is just not my cup of tea..I just don't have the patient to wait for the fishes to come and eat my bait..<br />
<br />
But yeah, that night we're pretty bored, having dinner at home and one of his friends whose a regular prawner (don't even know if this word even exists!) suggested we go prawning so I thought why not..<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apologies for the absence of Movie Monday this week..I did watch Lone Ranger but really it's really below my expectations and *sigh* I don't want to waste my breath talking about it! But, don't be sad here I show you something really amaayyyzinnnggg!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbz-BqhWMR-njyJFpqgW9cirmsEb20rEC4FV6YfqFpmm2Kgf-CBes5deR3lNNp-eRFFvKwlZwtv6CHdNmqFuSuG3gLMIrWUQkpQVJRXhlkLVteX4oINa8XyzDNCkfQPgochyphenhyphenpknBzPE-9f/s1600/IMG_7137_Fotor.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Bourbon chocolate mochi, I first encounter this when I was in Japan. I was in the 7/11 looking for japanese sweets to snack and see this..I'm always like intrigued by something matcha flavour and or something mochi so when I saw this, it's just right up my alley! I'm a bit hesitant at first, to be honest seeing the packaging and think about it that they're boxed mochi the first impression is they are not going to taste right and fresh and nice and the mochi will probably dried up and most probably the matcha chocolate taste cheap and plastic-ky ( little that I know I should not underestimate Japanese sweets ever!) Anyway, seeing the price (I remember it's around 100-200yen) not so expensive so what the heck i just try one box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a greedy sweet tooth of me of course I bought the other things I found interesting in the shop and totally forget to eat this until the last day I was waiting in the boarding room (which is one of the most hateful thing to do in my opinion) and start eating this and oh..my..gosh..they are the most moist, delicious, not too sweet, gummy, yummy, soft, bouncy, mochi with a very yummy, delicious, milky, matcha flavored chocolate!!! I totally regret that I didn't eat this earlier! If I did I swear to chocolate mochi heaven I'm going to stock up like hell!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT hold and behold! Two weeks ago, I went to Isetan supermarket and I found this!!!!! SO HAPPY! I swear they didn't sell this before! It $5.20 here too expensive I think since I remember in Japan it didn't cost more than 2$! But still okay lah..it totally worth my 5$..I have eaten 3 boxes ever since and this is my last one :'( Each box comes with two small packets of four balls..So total 8 balls in one box :( I wish they have more inside like 16 or 20 balls..that would be amazing lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how it looks like, like the picture on the box it really have 3 layers..first is the mochi, then a fat matcha chocolate inside and then there is this sad dollop of (I suppose) melted matcha cream. The third layer doesn't really exist but it doesn't matter coz these two layers are amazing (i know, i know i said amazing like a thousand times already, but seriously!) Judging from my picture I think, you will think "girl, what bouncy heck you talkin' about" but seriously that sweet layer of mochi is really yummy and gummy..please pick them up and try if you found this anywhere! They're just soooo good! Hehehe nobody paying me to blog about this (although it would be awesome if there is! somebody please sponsor me already!!!) it's just me sharing a good, not so expensive chocolate mochi ever exist..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last pic before I go..show off my singing bone hello kitty my hubby get for me (God knows how crazy people over this black kitty and how hard it was to get them, if you don't live in Singapore google all the craze and mind will be blown by how far people would go for a merchandise!

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week movie review is interesting, who have watched White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen?? Gosh, it's cray cray similar! I don't know who rip who, but clearly somebody's rippin' somebody here!</div>
<br />
<img src="http://cdn.bajanreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/olympus-has-fallen-white-house-down-twistedsitter.jpg" width="600" />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Same idea, same location, similar characters and similar villains..If these movies are human, they're definitely twins! The story basically is about terrorists attack to the white house. I've done a post for Olympus has fallen before so I feel a bit redundant to bring it up again, so here is a quick run thru for the white house down and later on I'm going to list up how crazy similar these two are.. (as always, spoilers ahead)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.bloomberg.com/image/iR4a8UzZ.RD8.jpg" width="600" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/Ot2Cw8KIevzRopzBjSdHgA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MTk7cT04NTt3PTYzMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/251/2013/04/01/DFR-01435-R2-jpg_225456.jpg" width="600" />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Story begins slow and boring (align with their poster campaign tag "It will start like any other day", you can google that yourself) showing us the normal activity of all the characters..John Cale (Channing Tatum), a US Capitol Officer have been looking for an opportunity to be in Secret Service. By the help of a friend, he finally land an interview with secret service agent Carol Finnerty (Maggie Gyllenhaal) in the white house and get an extra pass to the white house for his politic obsessed daughter Emily. After failing the interview, he and Emily decide to join the white house tour..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<img src="http://hotcelebhotpics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/white-house-down-new-trailer-600x450.jpg" width="600" />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The attack begins when a bomb exploded in the capitol building (it looks epic, no?!), Martin Walker (the head of secret service) conduct a white house lockdown which means closing off white house from the inside, nobody can go in or go out. This lockdown separates John and Emily who went to the toilet by herself. Meanwhile the janitor undercover terrorists take down the white house one room after another, killing all the secret service inside the buildings and of course make the tourists as their hostages..I'm not really sure how many people work in white house in daily basis (I'm sure there's a lot) but in the movie it looks like there's nobody except a handful of secret service agents, a few of security guards, the tourists and a few of the ministers in one of the room. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<img src="http://www.speexhibitorworldwide.com/assets/title/white_house_down/images/mainimg_white_house_down.jpg" width="600" />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
John Cale, desperately want to get her daughter successfully escape from the terrorists and go to the first floor toilet where Emily went (of course, she's not there anymore), Emily bravely wander around the white house and manage to record some of terrorists face and upload it to her youtube channel!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After hearing gunshots inside the white house, Martin Walker decide to take the president (Jamie Foxx) to the safety bunker in the basement and the president trusting him and let him guide them there..From this point, I think everybody kinda get the idea that this guy is one of the villains (they did put his motives from the beginning, his son was killed in the middle east)..and yes of course when they reach the bunker, Martin shot everybody except the President..<br />
<br />
<img src="http://movies.inquirer.net/files/2013/06/DFR_03757_R.jpg" width="600" /><br />
Lucky for Mr. President, John Cale who is suppose to find his daughter safe him from that evil traitor Martin Walker..from here it's basically how John Cale playing die hard all around white house and protecting the president..<br />
<br />
<img src="http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/aoibRTfGSkbY0HlQ6ZU5.A--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYwMA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/movietalk/DFR-06215-jpg_001740.jpg" width="600" /><br />

<br />
<br />
Well this movie is not bad (Man of Steel still like way worst than this, sorry to say). I must say the action is there, mix with humor here and there (most come from the president), pretty enjoyable movie if you don't mind die hard characters..I'm just <strike>quite</strike> annoyed by the fact that this movie is inspired by Olympus Has Fallen (again, no idea who copy who but this come more later than Olympus) and I just can't stop comparing the two..<br />
<br />
Omygosh this post is going to be grandmother nag long but I can't take it, I need to go through the similarities of White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen:<br />
1. Main character: One and only surviving Secret Service Agent, John Cale vs Mike Banning. The different is John is a secret service wannabe and Mike was actually in the secret service until some incident happens (jic you didn't watch Olympus, pls go to my review if you wanna know more, i got you covered ;))</div>

<br />
<div>
2. Second main character: The President of USA..The different is Jamie Foxx is lucky enough John save him quite early in the movie and the president can get into action with him. The Olympus president was kept as hostage to the end until Mike Banning save him..</div>

<div>

<div>
7. Which leaves us to the next similarity, Mr. Speaker of the USA is now the acting president. WHD's Mr.Speaker is actually the twist ending this movie gave (yup, he's one of the villain) and OHF's Mr.Speaker is a protagonist..</div>

One thing I really like from this movie is agent Carol Finnerty ( Maggie Gyllenhaal ), I always like her..There's something about her that makes her very nice to see..she's not straight pretty (like Miranda Kerr for example) but she have this charisma, persona, elegance and something ladylike that make her so beautiful to me..<br />
<br />
This weekend guys! So excited for thisss!!!</div>

Thought I'm going to share some interesting snippets from my short but sweet getaway..Hubbs take me to Bangkok for my birthday, to do the two of my most favorite things, eating and shopping. It's my fifth time in Bangkok, so I know exactly what I wanna eat, what I wanna do and where I wanna go..Kudos to dearest hubby who is very patient and totally cooperative (read: paying my crap, waiting for me to shop and help me carry my shopping bags) during this trip, love you :*

Number 1 shopping place: Definitely check out Pratunam Market (they open 5am-11am) before you go to Platinum wholesale mall/Siam Square/Shibuya wholesale because sometimes some of the stuff they have are the same for half or even lower price!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Number 1 tourist trap: TUKTUKs! If they know you're tourist, they will either jack up the price (which still cheaper for tourist lah but stupidly expensive from what it's suppose to be) or they will charge you super cheap and after you get in they will take you to random places like jade factory/tailor/honey factory/etc. The purpose of this is if you shop inside, they will get commission! So be careful with tuktuks, my advice take cab! cheaper, more comfortable and got aircon hehe..</div>

Heloooow guys!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The suspense and tense is just non stop I tell you! If you haven't watched, please go and watch it..you're so going to enjoy it and totally worth every penny of your bucks! If you haven' t watched and you wanna have a pure experience, leave this post and read my other movie posts BUT pwease come back to this post after you watched..and if you don't mind I taint your watching experience then read away..</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love the smooth plot through out, there's no forcing of weird/not make sense/too much/over the top scenes that make you roll your eyes or shake your head..the shocking elements feel so real and really good, soo good they give me (and hubby) anxiety (sometimes during the movie when the anxiety is too much we hold hands so that if the shocking scene comes we can squeeze each other hands haha)! So dorky!</div>
<br />
<br />

The story is about a bacteria outbreak that makes people who infected by it turn into zombie within seconds and bite other people and turn them into zombies too and finally it became zombie outbreak!!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://media.philly.com/images/062013-World-War-600.jpg" width="600" /><br />
Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is a retired United Nation investigator was with his family when the zombie apocalypse started, they somehow survived the sudden attack and hide in a building until helicopter come to save them..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img src="http://www.thehdroom.com/images/news/12644a.jpg" width="600" /><br />
His former boss in United Nation offered his family a place in a safe navy war ship in exchange of him going out to the outbreak to investigate on how all this happened and hoping he can help to find the answer to end the zombie war.</div>
<br />
<img src="http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/wUMj0Rhqi6oegABOV9B6cA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYzMA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/movietalk/bp_in_wwz.jpg" width="600" /> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He started the journey in Camp Humphreys in South Korea, where the outbreak first detected...With the information given from an ex CIA guy imprisoned there and with the help of remaining survived soldiers (insert a super tense zombies attack here), Gerry went to Jerusalem where the ex CIA guy had told him that the city is safe because they seal themselves off before the outbreak and they probaby know what's goin' on..</div>
<br />
<img src="http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/1xoJtJ75eUql.jpg" width="600" /> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He's right Jerusalem is pretty safe, they seal the city and they have walls to seperate them from the outside world but not completely, they still open doors for human survivors from outside the walls. This is what it looks like outside..hungry zombies trying to get in especially after the survivors inside the wall happily singing and dancing to celebrate their survival. Little that they know zombies attracted to sounds and little that they know they're singing to their own death..Cut long story short the zombies build a zombie tree and successfully climb their way in..Clearly after this the only song they sing is zooombie zoombie ie ie ie..by the cranberries..<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another super intense running away from zombies after Jerusalem is under attack and at this point like every other country in the world, Jerusalem is no longer safe, Jerusalem is gone people..Gerry and his new bff (the girl soldier on the left, btw she got bitten by zombie but Gerry "save" her by spontaneously <strike>cut </strike>chop her hand off!) luckily escape from the zombie mess by hitching on a plane. But <strike>Brad Pitt is a zombie magnet yall!</strike> no place is safe zombies are everywhere, one of the passenger got bitten by zombie and as you can guess the whole plane is turning outside down in no time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<img src="http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/World-War-Z-special-effects-plane-2.jpg" width="600" /> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gerry, desperately want to live (d'oh), threw grenade to the zombies and crashed the plane down. But ofcourse he and his bff survived (they tied themselves super tight in the chair with seatbelts) and guess where they crash landed? The place where Gerry supposed to go World Health Organization research building!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<img src="http://www.containsmoderateperil.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/World-War-Z-003.jpg" width="600" /> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gerry after going around the world witnessing and surviving the zombies, concludes that zombies somehow do not attracted/bite sick people and volunteer himself to be injected with virus to test his theory. But the problem is all the virus and bacteria were kept in the other wing full of zombie doctors after one of them accidentally infected himself with the virus and ofcourse bite the others. With his bff and one brave volunteer from the remaining doctors, they brace themselves and go to the dangerous wing to take the virus. Another "pac man session" with the zombies here but Gerry made it to the virus lab and injected himself with some virus. After the injection, the virus somehow worked as a camouflage from the zombies making Gerry invisible to them. The surviving doctors create a vaccine from the pathogen and spread it to the world for those who survived. The movie ended with scenes of zombies burnt, human survived and Gerry saying "this is just the beginning.."</div>

Brad Pitt as the one and only strong character act really well, he successfully play it cool like normal family man who appear more brainy then die hard type and in every scene he appeared more like normal human rather than hero, which make the movie more on the enjoyable side rather then annoying. And yes, he look handsome, cool, manly, and cute but he also look old..he needs some eyebags removal procedures LOL..</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you guys seen Man of Steel??? If no, good for ya! You save $$ and time! If yes, please take a moment to mourn the worst franchise of Superman ever made..Only hardcore Superman fanatics will say this movie is good (it's okay, you're not alone! my brother, is one of them..)</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Story opened with the history of Krypton, how and where Superman is born and why he is transported to the earth. Basically, Krypton is dying due to it's unstable core and one scientist Jor El (Superman's father played by Russell Crowe) knowing this fact embedded krypton codex (which he steal from krypton's baby tree or something) to his newborn son and send his son in spaceship to earth so that he could survive and be Krypton's legacy.<br />

What is a superhero movie without a villain! This franchise's villain is General Zod (Michael Shannon, good cast btw!), who also know that Krypton is dying and wanted to "save" Krypton by taking the codex and search for a new home to start building Krypton again. Apparently the codex is some kind of human generator or something so once you have it you can build Krypton's human anywhere (pls correct me if I'm wrong)..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Soon after killing Jor El for taking the codex and even worst sending it together with his baby to the space, he and his crew was send to Phantom Zone (some kind of exile/prison) by the Science Council. Okay now if you watch the movie, you will see Zod over ruled the Science Council (governor of Krypton) before Jor El steal the codex and send Kal El away, and after Zod kill Jor El suddenly the council came from out of nowhere to capture Zod. Odd much?? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After a very odd, lengthy, a lot of Russell Crowe's annoying center parted hair later and not to mention left me with a lot of questions Krypton scenes, the movie fast forward to today where Clark Kent is a young, strong, handsome man questioning himself and his ability who ventures from city to city helping people after his father's death. There are a lot of flashbacks scenes to his childhood showing his relationship with his parents and how kid Clark and teen Clark dealt with his power. </div>

Henry Cavill, I think make a good Superman. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lois Lane, played by Oscar nominees Amy Adams. May I get a collective BOO! for this?! Why Amy Adams? Why? She looks a tad bit mature (gosh I'm being so soft here, I mean OLD) to be paired with Henry Cavill, don't you think? And I don't know about you but they forced too many Lois try to save the day in this movie that make it feel so out of this world hard to digest!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://itsjustmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/man-of-steel-amy-adams1-600x261.jpg" height="160" width="320" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lois first met Clark in Artic where she's investigating what so believed as an aircraft stuck under the ice by the military, she was sneaking in taking pictures while she saw somebody (Clark) walking near the aircraft and decide to go after him. The aircraft was actually Jor-El's craft containing his brainwave hologram (I think) he send to earth to be a guide for Clark. Lois got attacked by the machine guard or something and Clark save her. Believing that Clark is a superhuman after what she saw, she begins to trace and investigate Clark's history. Clark knows that he's being investigated finally meet Lois and tell her his story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To be honest, I think Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder mean good by telling us a story from the beginning of the beginning but they force too many storyline in one movie it's almost like, Krypton 101 and Clark's biography in one! They also making sure we know the key characters of this movie cause sequel is coming! They embbeded a lot of sequel elements like one scene with trucks baring Lexcorp logos (as if they want to remind us Lex is coming yall!) and please they haven't even call him S for Superman in this movie! In the last scenes, Clark decide to be normal (by wearing glasses, so people can't recognize him behind his glassses..really? reallly??) and finding normal job where he thinks he belong (being a journalist at Daily Planet)</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now talk about the oddness of this movie, I think you guys will probably sleep halfway thru them, but really I need to mention at least a few:</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.wearemoviegeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/MOS-FP-0016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.wearemoviegeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/MOS-FP-0016.jpg" height="133" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lois, taken to the space and only wear gravity helmets, what about the clothes? Is she not cold, I mean it's in space it should be wayyy colder than earth right? And how on space, she could survive wearing normal human clothes? Am I too demanding here? LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. There is this scene where Perry White and two other Lois Lane's Daily Planet colleagues running around with a bunch of other civiliants try to avoid the falling concrete after Zod's crew invades earth and destroy buildings and somehow they caught up in the most unimportant and wasting time scenes of all..So many civiliants running around in the streets and suddenly only these three (the other guy is not in the pics) left in the street! How believable!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.supermanhomepage.com/images/man-of-steel-movie9/130602-MOS16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.supermanhomepage.com/images/man-of-steel-movie9/130602-MOS16.jpg" height="224" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://durancemagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Olsen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://durancemagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Olsen.jpg" height="195" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.comicbooktherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/man-of-steel-banner2.png?resize=700%2C298" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.comicbooktherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/man-of-steel-banner2.png?resize=700%2C298" height="136" width="320" /></a></div>
And even more odd is Lois fall down from the aircraft where she help to assist in shooting Zod's aircraft (long story) and Clark save her (D'oh of course!) and guess where she landed! Just in front her three friends who caught up in the stupid scene I mentioned earlier (coincidence much?)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. On the final battle between Clark and Zod, they were fighting and flying and crashing into some kind of building or train station. When he finally defeated Zod, suddenly Lois running from out of nowhere to hug her beloved Clark..ok wait a minute does she run (if yes, how do she knows which building? Or did she drive? Impossible, I imagine concretes and spoilt cars are everywhere like that last picture..or does she have the ability to transport one place to another? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Basically, I'm so disappointed by this movie, especially knowing it came from Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder..Even a lot of special effect fighting scene fail to impress me! So many plots they forced in and so many unimportant details they put in making this movie so long, boring and almost as unberable as oblivion haha..I find myself rolling my eyes to my husband, sitting lazily and hopelessly watching the movie from bad to slightly better to worst.. :'(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
By the way, I'm sooooo excited for this coming this weekend!!! Hope the movie as good as the trailer!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry for being MIA! Not a very good sign for a new blogger heh?! Anyway, back with a movie review..this time is After Earth. Don't get me wrong (as a self acclaimed movie buff) I did watched the other blockbusters this past weeks , Fast&Furious6, Hangover 3 and one of not so blockbuster, history inspired Emperor (courtesy of my hubby who <strike>ask</strike> forced me to watch), but don't feel like all 3 needed reviews or thoughts though..they're entertaining but easily forgetable..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay back to the title, honestly I didn't expect much from After Earth..I told my husband (my movie partner in crime) that Will Smith should stop doing this solo acting in movies already..I know he's good acting by himself, doing everything by himself but he just really need to stop..C'mon I Robot, I am legend, and now After Earth..And the trailer didn't thrill me either, to me it look like a bullshit sci fi movie that I will watch only to mock every scene LOL and to top it M.Night Syahmalan directs this movie..Seems like a very easy combo for a flop movie BUT! gotta be honest here, I like it well okay kinda love it..</div>

The movie set on (a few?) century after human destroyed earth and have to find other place to reside (Nova Prime planet or something) where a "legendary" ranger Cypher (Will Smith) and his family lives. Cut long story short father and son Kitai (Jaden Smith) was on their way to a training to somewhere (sorry I didn't really take note on the cinema what's all this planets name) and crash landed on (guess where) Earth! Earth to them is a destroyed, dangerous and a place where human no longer belong. In order for them to get help to their planet, they must/need/have to shoot signal from a rescue beacon which is located in the tail of the ship which is scattered 100km away from where they crash landed..Gosh, I hope you guys understand me!</div>

Since both Cypher's legs are broken, he had to guide his son Kitai to the beacon and to save both of them. Also with them on earth is fear obsessed alien (Ursa) they carry with them on the plane..This alien smell and sense fear and kill people with it..This is where the excitements begin..It really is just Kitai's adventure to go to the beacon..He find and learn new things from all the challenges he experienced along the way until he found the beacon, fight the alien and get both him and his dad home safely..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now, I don't know if you guys catch it or not, but this movie is full of scientology doctrines that Smith is known for years now..I'm not into scientology but some of the doctrines Smith try to pass on is just plain sincere and beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Okay now this is my thoughts, the rescue beacon is like our purpose, something we really want to have/pursuit (our dreams perhaps)..and to get there is not easy. There's going to be challenges, people or even yourself or your mind try to bring you down (Kitai's adventures along the way)..But keep going and be persistent one day you will get there if you believe..Your mind here is playing a very big part..like the fear obsessed alien who I think symbolize our own mind dragging us down with fear and negativity..and like what Cypher told Kitai</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span> </div>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"danger is very real, but fear is a choice"</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Again this my thoughts, fear is just our mind playing with us telling us we can't do it, we won't be able to make it..and this is all not real..focus on the happy thoughts. Focus on our purpose and our dreams then like Kitai defeated the alien (us defeat our fears), he can reach the beacon (and we can reach our dreams)..So yeah, that's why I like the movie that's how I saw it..It's not just entertainment but it gives me something to think about and something to remind me of this pursuit of dreams human have (c'mon don't tell me you didn't read The Alchemist)..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well critics and reviews have totally make up their mind that this movie is the worst movie in 2013, but probably that is because they only see the first layer of the movie..I don't know whatever..But if you haven't watch this, try to cause I really think it's interesting and quite entertaining too! Jaden Smith is one hella good actor I must admit. He will be big (or he already is?)..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

1. Once your candles' wicks reach the ends normally there will still be a little bit of wax left, to remove them easily for me the best method is to freeze 'em so that we can easily crack the wax later on. Pop them in the fridge for 2 days (the more the better) or at least overnight. </div>

2. After a day or 2 in the fridge, pop them out. Take your scissors and stab them in the middle of the wax (image no.1), then open the scissors up (image no.2) and stab 'em on the sides of the wax. Move the scissors a bit and pull the wax out (image no.3). This is where the period of time the jars in the fridge counts..the more them in there, the more easier to do this..If your wax is really stubborn and won't come up when you pull, just crack and break them using the scissors. Then you can remove it from the jar. </div>

2c. If you find that your wick is still stuck in the bottom after all the wax are out, no worries just use the tip of the scissors to scrap it out..should be pretty easy..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

4. Give the jars a wash (if sticky residue is stubborn, don't worry!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFKGN35VuymML6Gh2O_9KMbOX08zuMhz-z5O_AiHfKN_b3Vnp519xNlIA_o6OG7cPRhbkSZXugL-3rtUWvUP24LMlAneHQYEs7LJr8Pik1KtTrK1elZsJOwrFvjtNIkUi-ib9LbLoLnIt2/s1600/pic7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFKGN35VuymML6Gh2O_9KMbOX08zuMhz-z5O_AiHfKN_b3Vnp519xNlIA_o6OG7cPRhbkSZXugL-3rtUWvUP24LMlAneHQYEs7LJr8Pik1KtTrK1elZsJOwrFvjtNIkUi-ib9LbLoLnIt2/s400/pic7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
5. For stubborn sticky residue, use cotton pad with some nail polish remover to wipe them off..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6. For the brush holder, pour in the crystal beads about half to three quarters of the jar..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Ml0_CM7PvSbuKBVGXOzoALfkPKKXLcZhDwxDiIwwO9Eb3vWykVN0Wu7XgtrwPXzlP-pQrm2kDg7x9707gM7ykQhbwvV3nGalOc0WUooMIJFYA9yCXDAAY0MsDuX265ZbL7CrV-7I50zd/s1600/pic9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Ml0_CM7PvSbuKBVGXOzoALfkPKKXLcZhDwxDiIwwO9Eb3vWykVN0Wu7XgtrwPXzlP-pQrm2kDg7x9707gM7ykQhbwvV3nGalOc0WUooMIJFYA9yCXDAAY0MsDuX265ZbL7CrV-7I50zd/s400/pic9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. For the multifunction jar, clean the stainless steel lids with soap and damp cloth. Stop here if you think the lid and clean jar is functional enough, you can use it to store anything you like. But I want to make it pretty by adding cute decoration on top, I choose this bamboo shoot Sonny Angel (click <a href="http://www.sonnyangel.com/" target="_blank">here</a> for overloaded cuteness), glue the feet and hold it in place for a few minutes..It looks cute and function as a handle so opening and closing the jars is much easier..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that is all! So easy and cheap but it is really satisfying and make me super happy to reuse, repurpose and diy things that is not just useful but also look pretty on my vanity..</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, my favorite time of the week is catching movie with my hubby..this week ofcourse it's The Great Gatsby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, how do I say this..I watch this only for the sake of The Great Gatsby and the fact that Miuccia Prada is part of the costume! And yes the costumes are amazingggg (Prada never disappoint), all the characters are like coming from magazine spread or something and the 1920s setting in the whole movie are soo soo beautiful, elegant and just so amusing for my eyes. I did found myself wow a few times during the movie.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never read the book and never watch the vintage version of the movie so I don't know the characters at all. But here it is from what i see, this movie is about this guy Jay Gatsby (Leo), a visionaire, naive, ambitious and freakin' rich but also mysterious, despite that he's throwing super lavish and glamour weekly parties in his mansion nobody knows who he really is, how he make his fortune and where he came from..some don't even know what he looks like..and everybody been wondering why he had these lavish parties for no apparent reason. I think Leo is born for this roll! He's amazing!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nick Carraway (Tobey Mcguire), a wannabe writer who choose to be a wallstreet broker for the money. Daisy Buchannan's cousin and Gatsby's neighbour and later become Gatsby's bff/helper/sidekick. Tobey is Peter Parker no matter in what movie he's in..</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ultimate bitch Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), a materialistic, fickle, shallow, beautiful girl whose Gatsby fall in love deeply with..After watching the movie, you will hate her! HATE! Bitch! (sorry, I really need to let that out from my chest) I got no idea why Gatsby deeply in love with her..sigh..stupid dupid Gatsby..Anyway I feel like Carey is disappointing in this movie..</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://djones.com/files/7813/6811/3003/joel_edgerton_as_tom_buchanan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="http://djones.com/files/7813/6811/3003/joel_edgerton_as_tom_buchanan.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tom Buchanan, Daisy's husband, rich, complete jerk and a womanizer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm going to cut the long story short and go straight to the point (but it's impossible to cut the story short there's so many important points i need to tell), young Gatsby fall in love with Daisy and ask her to wait for him while he went to war. Daisy promise to wait but one fine day she decide to marry this Tom Buchanan obviously because he's filthy rich (he gave her $350.000 strings of pearls as a wedding gift and its 1920's so imagine how rich he is). </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gatsby who is so deeply in love with Daisy, strive to get himself wealthy (I don't really know how tho). Succesfully wealthy, he then bought a mansion across Buchanan's mansion so that he could be close to Daisy. Throwing big parties only to hope one day Daisy get curious and come to the party. Of course that never happen, until one day Gatsby found Nick Carraway, a new neighbour who happens to be Daisy's cousin. Nick who later on discover Gatsby's love for Daisy began to help him meeting Daisy and guard their secret meetings. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Daisy fall short back to Gatsby and together they plan to be together, but one day when they decide it's a good time to tell Tom that Daisy never loves him and have always love Gatsby all this time and want to leave Tom, the bitch with her fickleness and materialistic mind decide to choose Tom over Gatsby which leads to the fall of Gatsby. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After watching, I feel sorry for Gatsby. How he is so blindly in love made him strive for his dreams to become super wealthy only to win the love of his life back..but how he is so naive he couldn't see the bitch he love dearly is not even worth his love and sacrifice..sad story..</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The review for this movie is not really good, a lot of reviews I read really put Baz Luhrmann in the corner..well I kind of agree, I think he put more effort to make us believe that the movie is set on the 1920s then putting more effort on the story itself.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many beautiful scene but my favorite is gotta be this one</div>

<br />
I've been really in a hunt for a pretty fuschia/hot pink lipstick and I did go to various cosmetics counters to swatch the colors only to find myself chicken out the last minute and decide to walk away..This other voice in my head goes like "you'll never wear it..it'll end up in the bottom of your makeup bag like your russian red lipstick!" or "guurll your skin is too yellow-y for fuschia, you'll look funny!" oh and my favorite "bitch please you wouldn't dare to pull out hot pink lips look!" Well I think she's right I dont really feel like the girl who can pull bright lipstick for everyday but I really want to tryyyyy it..soo here it is a quick post of bright lips to encourage me and show you guys how really fun and pretty fuschia lips are..<br />

SO mental note to myself (and you too if you want to try this), the key to this bright lip is a simple eyemakeup (or even bare eyes) and other makeup on the skin should be kept to a minimum. The only main focus is the bright lips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I went to see Star Trek Into Darkness last Saturday and as expected I like it BUT I don't love it!I'm just so happy to finally be able to see Spock's face again (ooh and the old Spock too!). Oops if you haven't see it or if you don't like me to spoil your Star Trek experience I suggest you to click previous posts or get out lol..Btw, I'm not a hardcore creep who knows anything and everything about StarTrek archival so let's just enjoy the movie without having to remember or compare it to the ancient <strong><em>Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan </em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting with a somewhat look like terrorist attacks by a mysterious guy that leads the organization to assign Capt Kirk and USS Enterprise (who else?!) to a man-hunt only to find out that they are only used as a middle man to clean up somebody's mess..I'm fine with the story, there's nothing so futuristic about it but I'm quite happy they put some kind of twist to the plot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What I really enjoy watching is this two characters! Love the solo villain John Harisson aka Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch), he really did a good job being mysterious but cool and full of terror in his face and voice in the same time. See his eyes there? It's like they're so full of not so good intentions, like once you see him you know he's up to no good!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And Spock, (btw, I can't help it I need to put the handsomest Zachary Quinto pic i ever seen here and u're welcome) one of my favorite character from my childhood that I really love to see come back to life! Which kid can forget a man with big pointed ears, straight cut eyebrows with funny stupid looking bangs? At least not me! He is still the same old vulcan that somehow force to dig his half inner human more in this movie, watch out for his smart sarcasm lines in the movie. They are trying too hard to make him show more emotion, but the one he cry in the end when ***k (hehe at least I try to not spoil so much) died is a good one! I also secretly cried :'( :'( </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay now, moving on to what I don't really like about the movie. This guy right here! Kirk is too die hard and all around hero type of thing and that makes him really annoying!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I love how every character play their roles in the movie except for Uhura (I don't really think she did anything at all except talking the alien language at Kronos). Scotty save Enterprise's ass big time and get quite a lot of scenes towards the end, Sulu play captain for a little while and Chekov don't really see him that much in the movie actually, but better than Uhura at the very least he save Kirk and Scotty somewhere near the end.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my opinion, the starting scene in Nibiru is actually not important and a waste of budget really, nobody cares about that part! They can just start with the big terrorist attack and everything will be the same..However I'm quite entertain by how creepy looking people of Nibiru are..you really need to see it by yourself especially when they blink..</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">This brushes are made by Samantha Chapman, one of the Pixiwoo girls (if you don't know who they are find out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/pixiwoo?hl=en-GB&gl=SG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>). I've been looking for an affordable, high quality and versatile brush set</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> for so long and from the hype these brushes get, I think I made the right choice.

My favorite of the four is the buffing brush, it's so perfect for foundation/bb creams. Very easy to use, effortless to blend and the bristles are so soft (actually all of them are so soft). They're synthetic, they didn't shed and from what I read they're also easy to clean and dry really fast. Oh, and they come in a black sleek pouch that can double up as a stand to put all the brush on your vanity. So handy!</div>

Real Techniques Stippling Brush and Sleek Blush Palette in Lace</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ordered this stippling brush because I don't have this type of brush before. This brush is so multifunctional, it's good for blending foundation and perfect for cream blush and highlighter. The size of brush is not too fat so it can give a more precise application especially when applying cream blusher (nobody want to have the clown cheeks, right?). </div>

<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm really excited about this blush palette when I'm ordering, to me the colors are so pretty and perfect for daily use, so wearable and for only S$20 for 3 colors I think it's a good buy, yes? However, in real life the palette look pretty much crazy bright and all three colors look almost orange, but I tried it on today and absolutely loving it! </div>

The left is a mix between coral and peach, one sweep is peach, two sweep is coral. The middle one reminds me of Nars Orgasm, perfect peach pink glow. The right one (although it look really scary) actually appears like a medium (depends on how you blend it) pink flush you have after doing 50 pushups!</div>

I can't decide between this two palettes so I thought why not get both, so when <a href="http://www.luxola.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luxol</a>a had their 2 hours special 15%discount last week I jumped in and bought these for great deal plus free delivery! They are neutral for everyday, each come in 12 colors combo in shimmer and matte for an easy everyday eyes to smokey eyes..I dare to say the shimmer colors are quite pigmented and have a very good color pay off but the matte colors to me they're too chalky and not so pigmented. Here's the color swatches for you :)</div>

As you can see here, the shimmer colors are quite pigmented but the matte colors are disappointing..</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall for the price, 37$ for 2sets plus the 15% discount, I think it's a good buy. The packaging is sleek in matt black compact with big mirror in it so it's really handy especially for traveling.</div>

<br />
So last week me and my husband watch not 1 not 2 but 3 movies, I feel a bit guilty 3 movies (1ticket is 10$x2pax3times) but I can justify myself and blame the labor's day holiday last wednesday for a reason to go out and end up in cinema watching movies..<br />
<br />
The first one is..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQaOSmYtPsYi2SW5qRBVMAWSJDDEmhXNWgoNEuyxvbUjXhtEaQhSEzmVo76DeUlIfTSe89T_ad7M-DpiL3NuMwbctzFZi7bV-vxaJYJZbCbgpEgxL33QuZ35BVyhFsIdcmeK_nafAOZex1/s1600/iron_man_3_new_poster+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQaOSmYtPsYi2SW5qRBVMAWSJDDEmhXNWgoNEuyxvbUjXhtEaQhSEzmVo76DeUlIfTSe89T_ad7M-DpiL3NuMwbctzFZi7bV-vxaJYJZbCbgpEgxL33QuZ35BVyhFsIdcmeK_nafAOZex1/s320/iron_man_3_new_poster+(2).jpg" height="320" width="199" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Okay I know I'm so late to give review for this movie now since everybody must have watch it already but whatever..Storyline wise pretty much predictable, you know the hero was defeated at first but somehow he get up on his feet and strikes back..something like that..but put a red iron suit with rocket feet and genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist attitude and boom long queue for tickets, sold out everywhere, everybody raving about box office.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/51362fd8ecad04945c000009-1057-793/iron-man-3-pepper-potts-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/51362fd8ecad04945c000009-1057-793/iron-man-3-pepper-potts-1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Don't get me wrong I really do enjoy the movie until somebody decide that Pepper Potts should be the real hero of this last (I'm not sure if this true) Iron Man movie. Not that I'm against girl power or something it's just that I find this is too cheesy to be put as an ending especially if you watch the epic, complicated, almost never ending battle between the Iron Man and the Extrimist then suddenly Pepper come out of nowhere when she suppose to be dead (she fell to a fire or something, oh and I kinda already guess when they show her fell to her fake death somehow she will survive because they inject her with the virus thingy) and boom boom shoot the bad guy and that's it..seriously?!<br />
<br />
My fave part is when Tony is fighting against Killian's men and obviously killing everybody (d'oh he have the super weapon in his palm) and one of them say "Don't shoot..I hate them I think they all weird"I thinks it's just a nice comedic touch in the middle of a serious battle lol :D<br />
<br />
The second one is..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://live.drjays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Olympus-Has-Fallen-2013-Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://live.drjays.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Olympus-Has-Fallen-2013-Poster.jpg" height="320" width="217" /></a></div>
<br />
I honestly have very low expectations for this movie, selling only Gerard Butler to me it's just not enough for this movie to be huge (not even convinced with Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman as his sidekick). Story is about Banning (Butler), an ex secret service who had the chance to redeem himself from his past mistake to the president in a surprise attack done by a bunch of Korean hardcores lead by Kang (the main bad guy) who want to unite South and North Korea and destroy America.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't worry Aaron, Gerard got you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But oh boy I was wrong, it was really good, enjoyable action movie that actually worth my 10 bucks! Although I don't buy that White House can be so easily attack like they did in the movie but c'mon girl it's only a movie leave Gerard alone! Some website reviews I read even say this movie is better than Die Hard!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My only concern (totally acting like I'm one of the rotten tomatoes guys) is the scene with the madam secretary (forget what's her name and lazy to google -_-') I don't know bout you guys but I think they made her struggle a bit too dramatic and too much especially when they drag her out from the bunker. <br />
<br />
Conclusion is I really recommend this movie for those of you who is still sour in the cinema waiting to get the Iron Man 3 tickets, go put your $$ on this movie..for ladies Aaron Eckhart look really handsome in this movie, oh and Dylan McDermott is also act in the movie but really he's pretty much invincible and forgettable here!<br />
<br />
The last one is..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yup, I'm the hero! </div>

<br />
My first post ever! Woohoo me!! I've been reading and stalking blogs since they exist and been wanting to have my own but you know being a true gemini (other gemini pls dont kill me, probably its just me) i always have this 'sometimes I want it so bad, sometimes it's like hell no, I'm good just reading people's blogs' type of thing, but really lately I have this urge to just get the hell with it and start before the other chick in my brain take control again!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This blog mainly about me (d'oohh) and things that I normally have my nose in, things i like, things i love, things i think it's interesting..like fashion, food, movies or just life in general..<strike>Recently Most</strike> All of the time i have so many comments about a lot of stuff (who doesn't right?) and think it'll be great and healthier for my brain if I can share them out (beside to my annoyed husband who alot of times tell me "shut up la babe, can't you don't comment so much on everything or not?!" *insert cry emoticon here, the most dramatic one pls!*</div>
<br />
Here's a quick intro..My name is June Tan (just picked up the last name exactly today last month), I'm a an Indonesian lives in Singapore for almost 3 to 4 years now and just married to a great Singaporean guy whose very sceptic about me being a blogger (boo you babe!)..<br />

Enough me rambling about this stuff and let's kick start this little blog :)The Expat Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04479744663641427875noreply@blogger.com0
