My Movie Review: The movie is one of the most awaited but didn't deliver not that good than the usual. The dark ages has arrived in Hunger Games were there's no color, not much action and none of the things I use to know. But good thing about this movie is it has focus, to rescue Peeta from the President Snow and the rebellion against the Capitol. The shortcoming is when Katniss saw Peeta on the last scene, I've felt no resolution at all.
My Favorite Lines: "I have a message for President Snow: You can torture or bombed us, blasted our district to the grounds. But do you see that ? Fire Is Catching... If we burn, you burn with us!" "Ms. Everdeen, it's the things we love the most that destroy us. Did you think I didn't know your friends are in the Tribute Center?" "My sister gets to keep her cat."

My Movie Review: The movie is candid and wacky, I can't stop laughing and this guys are naturally cool and funny. Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr known as Nick and Coach in New Girl, create a wonderful duo in this fake cops in real trouble movie. Nina Dobrev came as surprise and adds to interesting mix, who knew Elena Gilbert of Vampire Diaries? This movie is perfect for people who want to have fun and enjoy happy times with friends.

My Movie Review: The movie is nothing but romantic, honestly I don't know what to say about I guess plain and simple that's how I can describe watching this. There's something about Nicholas Sparks movies make sense even if some stories were not interesting at all, they manage to pull us to watch them all over again. The Best Of Me almost hit the pot but when Dawson died at the end, the experience was ruin and became so much predictable.
My Favorite Lines: "I don't much to offer, but I promise you can have the best of me." "Love after all, always said more about those who felt it than about the ones they loved." "You want me to fall back in love with you. How do I do that when I haven't ever stopped?" "Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less, sometimes you love them more." "Nothing else mattered it was just us"

My Movie Review: The movie is beyond, took my breath away and gave me goosebumps! Matthew McConaughey gives his stellar performance in this out of this world experience sure to captures your heart. Interstellar nice title for this movie, you can't describe what's happening and you can't guess what's going next. Christopher Nolan takes us to his wide imagination, giving us some history about NASA and educate us how the world and galaxy revolves. I don't like the end it's bitter and sad, I prefer a reunited happy ending on Earth.
My Favorite Term: Interstellar

First let's look the at word "Interstellar" it has two main parts: the prefix "inter-" and the ending "-stellar." The prefix inter- is defined as among, between, or amid. The word stellar means of or pertaining to stars or full of stars. If the two are put together, we come up with the definition of interstellar as being "between or among the stars."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE CHINATOWN

My Personal Experience: I went to Chinatown in Singapore last May 10, 2011, together with my sister, my cousin and my uncle. We went there to buy some souvenirs and gifts for our friends and love ones.

Chinatown is Singapore’s largest historic district, nestled close to the bustling business hub. When Raffles announced Singapore as a trading post in 1819, many Chinese flocked to Singapore, and by the end of the 1860s, the Chinese community had grown to encompass 65% of the population in Singapore.
