TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES AYALA AVENUE

My Personal Experience: I went to Ayala Avenue last July 13, 2011, together with my sister and her friends. We started the day early in McDonald's, having breakfast with my sister's friends was rare but fun. Lunch time is all about the two of us, we left her friends and went to T.G.I Friday's, where we have two of their delicious main course and dessert.

Ayala Avenue

It is a major thoroughfare in Makati and one of the busiest roads in Metro Manila, crossing through the heart of the Makati Central Business District. Because of the many businesses located along the avenue, Ayala Avenue is nicknamed the Wall Street of the Philippines. It is also a major link between Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and Metropolitan Avenue.

My Movie Review: The movie is refreshing, interesting concept with new generation of young actors. I like going on mazes cause you never know what lies ahead and you can get stock or survive, even if I do it on video games is still lot of fun. The Maze Runner has strong and stable foundation based on its storyline but I hope the sequel will have more complexity to it that have take us on another level, just like The Hunger Games sequels...
My Favorite Character: Minho

When Minho first appears, he is found by Thomas laying on the ground from exhaustion as he'd just gotten back to the Homestead from the Maze. Minho shows up at the Gathering, which confirms that he is the Keeper of Runners. Thomas is first elected as Keeper of the Runner by Minho, but becomes just a runner.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES MOA GIANT GLOBE

My Personal Experience: I went to MOA Giant Globe last August 3, 2011, together with my brother. This is my second time I went to Mall Of Asia and my first picture with the Giant Globe. This happened during his vacation in Makati and my weekend when I'm still studying. We went there to have snacks, watch movie and take pictures while enjoys time.

MOA Giant Globe

You can’t miss this big globe within the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) outdoor complex especially at night when it reflects the changing of different colors of light every few minutes. I enjoyed watching it amidst the groups of shoppers rushing to catch any of the late night buses passing by. This landmark symbolizes the size and advancement MOA represents being the third largest shopping mall in the world.

My Movie Review: The movie is quite captivating, brings a world full of black and white back into life. It has some similarities with Divergent from the gathering of people on a stadium and to its plot every member of society has a specific role. Brenton Thwaites and Odeya Rush fresh faces on the big screen, not bad just cut short In the end. The title of the movie for me is not right because it focuses more on The Receiver of their memories.
My Favorite Lines: "Everything is connected, Everything is balance, Where there is good, there is bad." "Memories are not just about the past, they determine our future." "Just like music, there's something can't see with your eyes inside you." "Faith is seeing beyond."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY

My Personal Experience: I went to Bonifacio Global City last December 21, 2011, together with my brother. This is the first time I went to Taguig BGC and my first Christmas in the Metro. We went there spend the holidays outside the house. We ate dinner at Kenny Roger's on dessert at Buko ni Frutas and pass the stores at Bonifacio High Street.

 

Bonifacio Global City

It was once called Fort McKinley when the United States government first acquired it in 1902. In 1957, it was renamed Fort Bonifacio after Andres Bonifacio. In 2003, Ayala Land, Inc. and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. help shape and develop Bonifacio Global City, turning an area once war zone and lots of aggression into the world-class business and residential center it is today.

My Movie Review: The movie is fantastic brings back my childhood memories and anyone can enjoy their adventure from all ages. My knowledge about ninja turtles comes back, I can name them with their respective mask color like Raphael is blue,  Leonardo is red, Donatello is purple and Michaelangelo is orange. This movie is made for babies, lots of cute gestures and action sequences. Megan Fox is fine and Will Arnett is leading man too.
My Favorite Character: Michelangelo

Mikey is the class clown of the Ninja Turtle’s sewer lair, constantly pranking his brothers and concocting some seriously sick food (pizza milkshake, anyone?). When he’s not dancing to his fave tunes or downing a whole pepperoni pie, Mikey is kicking some major Kraang butt with his brothers. Weapon of Choice: Nunchucks

My Movie Review: The movie is exceptional, one of the best concept and creative film for this year. Scarlett Johansson shows what she become through the years, a force to be wreck-in with and she's on fire by just looking at her. The movie will keep you hanging after she uses 100% of her brain, so don't expect much just enjoy every stage cause all in all it make sense. The animals were unexpected specially on the intense scenes and the way Luc Besson manipulated this movie will make you sees things far beyond your limits.
My Favorite Lines: "Life was given to us a billion years ago. Now you know what to do with it." "100 billion neurons per human, of which only 50 percent are activated. There are more connections in the human body than there are stars in the galaxy. We possess a gigantic network of information to which we have almost no access." "I am everywhere."
