My Movie Review: The movie is extravagant, one of the grandest epic event not to be missed. The storyline was fantastic, the mix of characters from original cast to their young version that's genius and turns of event from the past to the future so intense that you need to be strong to watch it. There were stand out characters like Logan/Wolverine as always, Raven/Mystique was a revelation and Erik/Young Magneto makes it more exciting.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE ION ORCHARD MALL

My Personal Experience: I went to Ion Orchard Mall last May 19, 2012, together with my two sisters.

We went to Royce where we taste chocolates and Provence where we eat cakes.

My Movie Review: The movie is a mixed feeling for me I don't know if I like it or not. I still have the chills that's good and I got sleepy in the middle part that's bad. For a character so iconic like Godzilla known as the King of Monsters, this movie worth a shot and see for yourself if you like it or not. I didn't watch the first Godzilla that's why I'm confused if he's an enemy or protector of mankind but at the end he was labeled as the saviour of the city.
My Favorite Lines: "You're not fooling anybody when you say that what happened was a "natural disaster,". You're lying! It was not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon! Because what's really happening is that you're hiding something out there! And it is going to send us back to the Stone Age! God help us all..."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE PLAZA SINGAPURA

My Personal Experience: I went to Plaza Singapura last May 8, 2012, together with my brother and my sister's friend. We went to their Food Court, ordered food at Pepper Steak and went to the cinemas. We took some pictures while walking across the street and went to other malls like Orchard Plaza, The Centre Point, Lucky Plaza and Abercombie & Fitch.

The mall has nine floors in all, each set to a specific theme, as well as a large internal courtyard. A number of popular local and international eateries takeup the lower floors, while clothes shops dot the higher levels.

My Movie Review: The movie is electrifying, magnetizing, exciting and amazing as ever. Spider-man is back, one of the beloved superhero of our generation and my personal favorite. The villains looks powerful and bad ass, Electro stole the show with his lightning techniques, Harry Osborn/ Green Goblin returned with mystery lays ahead and Rhino sure to watch for with his metal armour. What happened to Gwen Stacy? Did she really die in this franchise? I hope not I love seeing Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield together. This is one of the anticipated and best movies this summer to watch and not to be missed.

My Favorite Term: Oscorp

Oscorp was founded by Norman Osborn, a very well-known boss throughout Oscorp and even New York. The company's official website holds information regarding their previous attempt to cure the cross-species breakout in the state, which Spider-Man truly stopped.
