TRAVEL TO MOVIES: HORRIBLE BOSSES 2.0


Director: Sean Anders
Cast: Jason Bateman , Jason Sudeikis , Charlie Day , Christoph Waltz , Jennifer Aniston , Kevin Spacey , Chris Pine , Jamie Foxx
Plot: Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business. But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal recourse, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor's adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.

My Movie Review: The movie is moderate, not bad but I think that the first one is more exciting than this. Good to watch that the guys are back, I'm just looking for more story and misadventures. The supporting cast is stealing the spotlight, Chris Pine got the brains and Jennifer Aniston is the entertainer in this sequel. One positive thing for the trio is I could relate to them, I just resign to my job and my friend plans to build our own business.
My Favorite Term: Shower Buddies

A term used for bathing partners that engage in hygiene routines with each other, but do not share the usual emotional attachment of a standard boyfriend/girlfriend relationship (can be applied to heterosexuals or homosexuals.) The purpose of shower sharing is for a more lively cleansing activity in order to improve the cleaning oneself.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES CHELSEA GRAND CAFE

My Personal Experience: I went to Chelsea Grand Cafe this year November 29, 2014, together with my parents and my sister. We stayed first at Settle's Best where we had coffee and breads to share with in the afternoon. At night we had our dinner in Chelsea Grand Cafe where we ordered salad, pasta, pizza and whole roasted chicken, it's a feast!














Chelsea Grand Cafe
The name “Chelsea” was inspired by the Chelsea Market in New York. I’m not sure if the ambiance has a semblance, but I can assure that the ambiance in Chelsea Grand CafĂ© is laid-back, casual and light. Various food items for sale are displayed on the divider in the middle of the dining area. It is located at One Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.

Plot: The film follows Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) the number one suspect for the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend, Merrin (Juno Temple).

My Movie Review: The movie is exciting and tempting, little bit dark, dangerous but sexy. It's a mix feel experience, lots of adjectives to describe it and there's creative thinking going on. Daniel Radcliffe proves his not the Harry Potter kid anyone, his now mature enough to play daring roles and his acting is getting better. The visual effects is creepy from the horns itself to the snakes and the end twist shocked me with what came out next.
My Favorite Lines: "I'm going to love you for the rest of my life." "Just love me for the rest of mine." "No one is born evil but sometimes when you go through hell, the only way out is to walk deeper into the fire." "Admit you killed her! It would be such a huge scoop for me." "I've got an idea. How about you guys beat the heck out of each other and the winner gets an exclusive interview with me" "What's that snake doing around your neck?"

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES RED TABLE KOREAN RESTAURANT

My Personal Experience: I worked as a waiter at Red Table Korean Restaurant, this year November 7, 2014, together with my co-workers. We took pictures for me to have a remembrance were I use to work, this was taken on my last night as a waiter. We took pictures mostly on the dinning area, some on the kitchen area and cash/ordering counter.

Red Table Korean Restaurant
If you want fast and affordable Korean food then you need to try this restaurant. They have selections such as bibimbap, deopbap, bulgogi, jjige, ramyeon and gimbap. They also have my favorite melona ice cream. Place is clean and spacious and servers are really nice. Found at Third Floor, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue, Salcedo Village, Makati City.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: NIGHTCRAWLER


Director: Dan Gilroy
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal , Bill Paxton , Rene Russo , Ann Cusack , Anne McDaniels
Plot: A film about a young man named Lou Bloom who is desperate for work until one day he stumbles across the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. After discovering a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other chaos, Lou gets involved in the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling, a practice where independent videographers search out for violent crimes and sell them to news shows.

My Movie Review: The movie is a vision, it opened my mind on crime journalism and how things work behind the scenes. Jake Gyllenhaal losses a lot of weight in this film and gains a compelling acting role that puts him on the spotlight. Nightcrawler is unique, I can't think of a movie with similar concept like this and as the movie goes on it became deeper. I like Lou Bloom's aggression to the American Dream. But he goes to much to make it come true, just like when he puts his assistant as a bait to captured the best video shoots.
My Favorite Term: Granada Hills

Granada Hills is a lightly populated, highly diverse and high-income neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of the city of Los Angeles. Formerly agricultural, it is now mostly residential, with three-quarters of the living units being occupied by their owners.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES CHOWKING CENTRAL

My Personal Experience: I went Chowking Central at SM Manila this year November 14, 2014, together with my college classmate. We went there to eat lunch before I went home to my province and to watch movie at SM Cinemas. We took pictures at recent movie posters like Big Hero 6, Penguins Of The Madagascar and went to the department stores.














Chowking Central
Chowking is a Philippine-based chain that pioneered the Asian quick-service restaurant concept in the Philippines. The concept combines a Western fast food service style with Chinese food. Chowking predominantly sells noodle soups, dim sum, and rice toppings.
