My Movie Review: The movie is surreal, I can't believe what I'm seeing took my breath away. Impossible turned possible when apes speaks out, rode on horses, carried some guns and think like a human. The story is so compelling makes me digging what happened in the past to understand and how it leads to this madness. Caesar have grown up really strong, he come a long way being a small ape to this powerful leader and complex thinker.

My Favorite Lines: "War has already begun. Ape started war. And human...human will not forgive. You must go before fighting begins. I am sorry...my friend." "I've seen things, I've seen the way they are, they want what we want, to survive."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE PIEDRA NEGRA

My Personal Experience: I went to Piedra Negra last year July 27, 2013, together with my sister and her boyfiend. We went there in search of a Mexican Restaurant and we know we found when saw the place. This restaurant is cool, from its colourful wall with art décor to its beefy nachos, cheesy burittos and tasty tortilla, somehow felt where in Mexico.

Piedra Negra

It looks like skimpy nachos and overstuffed burittos are finally being nudged from their undeserved pre-eminence. BluJaz's Latin offshoot has been set up in a red shop-house right around the corner. Similar to its mothership, live DJs are attracting busting crowds but it's the cocktail-friendly Mexican grub that will keep us coming back.

My Movie Review: The movie is doubtful, not scary for a horror suspense movie that's bad we expected to be scared. I don't think this is a true story because it has lots of clichés, gimmicks and unrealistic events. I could give a benefit of a doubt, maybe this is true but got lost in translation due to over exaggeration. Most of the scenes were not connected with each other as a result the movie has no direction. On the other hand the positive effect of this is you can't predict what's going to happened next. The only thing I like is when the priest does his exorcism, so intense it make sense for watching the movie.
My Favorite Lines: "There's two types of evil in this world, secondary evil the evil that men do and primary evil  which is something else entirely." "I've seen some horrible things, nothing that can't be explain by human nature." "Then you haven't seen true evil."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE BIRD DISCOVERY CENTRE

My Personal Experience: I went to Bird Discovery Centre last June 15, 2013, together with my brother. We went there to explore Jurong Bird Park and to see the wildlife in Singapore. We went to Bird Discovery Centre, where we saw lots of fossils of birds from eggs to skeletons. We went out to Pelican Cove, Macaw Island and Window On Paradise.

Bird Discovery Centre

Lead your little ones to the Bird Discovery Centre and they will come out an avian expert. Here they get to see, touch and discover for themselves everything they have always wanted to know, or perhaps never even thought to ask, about birds.

My Movie Review: This movie is superb, one of the biggest and longest much awaited comeback, must watched! The expectation for it so huge, lead others not satisfied because of the success of the previous franchise but for me is all good. Transformers movies are usually long, I need to prepare myself to give my full attention to it cause there's so much happening. But this one is a breath of fresh air, maybe the all new cast help to make better. I didn't have an headache unlike I experienced in Dark Of The Moon. Age Of Extinction is the best for me because it still has classic but with a new story to told.

My Favorite Character: Galvatron

Galvatron is a Decepticon from G1 continuity family. Born from the fires of Unicron, His a focal point of power and madness given form. He is blind to all but his lust for power; his whims and desires could sacrifice in a moment's rage. Not even his subordinates are safe.

My Movie Review: The movie is fun, lots of laugh and makes me feel I'm living the good life. I like the start where they recap what happened in 21 Jump Street and now in 22 Jump Street they give us college parties, spring break and kick-ass attitude I love it! Made me missed my college best friend cause I'm like Jonah Hill, the cute chubby one and his more like Channing Tatum. I hope there will be sequels just like what they shown credits.
My Favorite Lines: "Look at Dickson's office. It looks like a giant cube of ice." "How you bitches like Jump Street now?" "Why every time you speak I want to throw the f*** up?" "We're like a power couple." "We're like Rihanna and Chris Brown. You're a good dancer but sometimes you're meaner than I'd like you to be." "Do we look older or does everyone in college look like babies?" "Shhh! Some of us are trying to study so if you could take it down to a level of shut up." "Is this the level you're looking for?" "Shut the f*** up!"
