TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- MOMENTUM

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore Momentum Sculpture last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to catch some view in the heart of the city where you'll find the Singapore tallest sculpture. Momentum is shape like a Christmas Tree that brings festive look to the city and dominantly red perfect for the upcoming Valentine's Day!

Momentum

This 18.35 metres steel sculpture by David Gerstein is Singapore’s tallest public sculpture. The spiraling layers of hand painted metal figurines is to depict spontaneity, vibrancy and dynamism of the Central Business District.  The colorful sculpture also adds a splash of color to the surrounding skyscrapers. Commission by the developers of One Raffles Quay. Momentum also represents a upward cycle of progress for both Singapore and its people.

My Movie Review: The movie is bitter sweet musical that keep the foolish dreamers in us! Chivalry is not dead when it comes to La La Land when you make someone fall in love through your music. Emma Stone deserve to win the Oscars for her magnificent singing! At first I don't want to watch this movie because I don't want to ruin the fantasy I saw in the trailer but somehow I realized that I need to wake up to the dream and face the reality. My heart got broken still I love every moment of it, this is real not all ends in happy ending.
My Favorite Song: Audition "The Fools Who Dream"

Here's to the ones who dream.. Foolish, as they may seem.. Here's to the hearts that ache, Here's to the mess we make.. She captured a feeling.. Sky with no ceiling.. Sunset inside a frame.. She lives in her liquor and died with a flicker.. I'll always remember the flame.. Here's to the ones who dream.. Foolish, as they may seem.. Here's to the hearts that ache.. Here's to the mess we make.. She told me: A bit of madness is key to give us to color to see.. And that's why they need us, So bring on the rebels.. The ripples from pebbles.. The painters.. and poets.. and plays.. And here's to the fools who dream!! Crazy, as they may seem!! Here's to the hearts that break!! Here's to the mess we make!!!

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- CAPITA GREEN TOWER

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore Capita Green Tower last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to create visuals on the business district other side. Capita Green is a office tower that stands out because of it's environment friendly modern look. Making the city a greener place with trees around it and few art sculptures to dazzle.

My Movie Review: The movie is right kind of wrong never make us care but set the mood. Live By Night is an epic tale of crime in gangster world with chase of the American Dream. The parties were grand and festive as the people dress for the occasion in style. Too bad there's very little momentum due to disorganized sequence some got bored and went out to the cinema. But as for me I really enjoyed it love the darkness and richness of the story.
My Favorite Character: Loretta Figgis

The local chief is related to Figgis, the Tampa police chief. The man’s beautiful daughter is Loretta in a drug-addled state, whom Figgis had believed was working in Los Angeles, California, as an actress. Figgis's daughter later returns to Tampa and becomes a famous preacher. Loretta later reveals to Joe that she doesn't know God, Hoping that God is kind.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- ANDERSON BRIDGE

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore The Anderson Bridge last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to make amazing photos while crossing the bridge! We walk slow since were doing city sightseeing then stop over whenever on every corner. This is my favorite bridge to pass in Singapore cause I feelin' kind of magic when seeing it.

Anderson Bridge

The bridge was completed in 1910, and was named after the Governor of the Straits Settlements and High Commissioner for the Federated Malay States (1904–1911), Sir John Anderson, who officially opened the bridge on 12 March 1910. It formed part of the Singapore Grand Prix's Marina Bay Street Circuit, which debuted on 28 September 2008. Anderson Bridge is a vehicular bridge that spans across the Singapore River.

My Movie Review: The movie is untouchable you can grasp the story based on the trailer but you still watch the whole thing to fully understand. Very disappointing for it's flat story but not the worst it could be better still it shows reality of life and the nature of humans. Will Smith is lost and reckless in this drama where nothing matters I hope they develop more twists with the other characters. Curiosity got me to watch this film but don't regret it.

My Favorite Lines: "We’re here to connect. Love, time, death. Now these three things connect every single human being on earth. We long for love, we wish we had more time, and we fear death." "Howard is a brilliant man, and he’s not just a boss, he’s a friend. He lost his child and now he doesn’t care if he loses everything else." "This might be the strangest thing I have ever come across. He writes letters? To who?" "Howard doesn’t write letters to people, he writes to things. Time, love, death." "Kids write letters to Santa Claus, it doesn’t mean they’re crazy. No this is therapeutic." "I’m love. I’m the fabric of life."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- THE FULLERTON HOTEL

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore The Fullerton Hotel last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to take a closer look to one of the most prestigious Hotel in Singapore. The Fullerton Hotel has become an important landmark of the country as well, for its history and formidable structure- sure to make one tourist bucket list to visit.

The Fullerton Hotel

The magnificent Fullerton Building Hotel is a grand Neo-classical landmark built in 1928. Gazetted in December 2015 as a National Monument, it was once home to Singapore’s General Post Office, Exchange Room and Exchange Reference Library and prestigious Singapore Club.

My Movie Review: The movie is a gravity-defying action adventure takes my breath away. Assassin's Creed take you to the Spanish Inquisition felt like riding on a fast roller coaster. When in the detention facility the pacing slows down for some they hate that but for me it's good time to take a breather. The ending it's not what's expected and a bit underwhelming for sure there's a sequel in development. At least we can revisit- history of their ancestors.
My Favorite Term: Spanish Inquisition

The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition (Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Inquisición española), was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. The "Spanish Inquisition" may be defined broadly, operating "in Spain and in all Spanish colonies and territories, which included the Canary Islands, the Spanish Netherlands, the Kingdom of Naples and all Spanish possessions in the North, Central and South America."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: SINGAPORE-- ONE RAFFLES PLACE

My Personal Experience: I went to Singapore One Raffles Place last October 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to capture tallest buildings in the business district with me since I'm leaving in few days. One Raffles Place is the one business address for locals while skyscraper playground for the tourists. Love the architecture gets you moving.

One Raffles Place

Formerly Overseas Union Bank Centre or OUB Centre is one of three tallest skyscrapers in the city of Singapore, sharing the title with the UOB Plaza and Republic Plaza.

My Movie Review: The movie is space travel at its best this 2017 first visual stunning film. Passengers makes you excited again to see-stars- and look forward on what's lies ahead. Chris Pratt has becomes one of my favorite actor now a different kind of galactic guardian. Jennifer Lawrence never fails to intensify scene she embark's on a interplanetary journey. Both have magic their good looking and relatable what a perfect match for classy fun flick.
My Favorite Lines: "If you live an ordinary life, all you'll have are ordinary stories." "We were woken too soon... Ninety years too soon We have too go back to sleep We Can't!" "We boarded the Avalon with a destination. 120 years of hibernation means you'll wake up in a new century on a new planet. But a year ago, everything changed." "You can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be, that you forget to make the most of where you are." "Hello, is he asking me on a date? She didn't seem that impressed." "You two look fine this evening We're on a date.Took long enough to ask why did you give up your life on Earth?"
