My Movie Review: The movie is half-baked what must be extraordinary turns out lesser:( Every Day is actually exciting at first glance the idea was unique and special plus fresh face cast beautiful in their own way but went wrong when they choose to be safe rather than great. Love the teenage drama it brings when it deals with feelings rather physicality and the possibility of being everyone in school the cool kid or the hottest bud even just for a day. Justice Smith should have the chance to redeem himself from his girlfriend's heart I think it will be more exciting if they went to that direction perhaps Rhiannon and A to stick with each other!

More Description: Parents need to know that Every Day is a high-concept romantic drama based on the bestselling young adult novel by David Levithan. This teen romance is sweet and well-acted-- with strong messages of empathy and acceptance-- if perhaps not quite as deep as it could have been. Perhaps nothing is more confusing or harmful to teenagers as the idea, I couldn't agree more if it feels good, if it makes you happy, do it- just know the consequences!!

This my second time in 8 Cuts Burgers but this is my first time in their newly renovated space within the garden used to be located in upper of others restaurant now expanded on their own!!

8 Cuts Burgers

There may be burger joints in Metro Manila, but 8 Cuts features 8 cuts of beef in custom-blend patties that are freshy ground, hand-pressed and seared to order. This sttention to detail for what is usually seen as greasy grub, shows off what The Moment Group has became known for. The proof is in the pudding: with several outlets in the metro, long lines, and constantly buzz-worthy burgers, this is the Moment Group's fastest expanding brand yet. Love all burgers!

My Movie Review: The movie is majestic and exquisite in telling a modern fairy tale meets classic monster creature that will stand out beyond expected in a melancholy cinematic world. The Shape Of Water is whimsical vibe this film take of unconventional love story that's unique and crafted with impressive visual detail creating a delightful and impeccable experience!!! Michael Shannon is beast making each scene worthy seeing with his intense performance frightening at most time with those huge eyes his presence can kill a thousand weak soul:( Sally Hawkins is a immaculate as a mute girl it's so fascinating to see her as a lead for the first time as she will around in Hollywood for long time in this flick-- one of the timeless film to date!!
My Favorite Character: The Asset (Doug Jones)

Addressing the physical similarities between the Asset and Abe Sapien, Jones said “Guillermo was very specific, he did not want Abe Sapien in this film at all,” and that del Toro wanted The Shape of Water to stand alone as “its own piece of art”.The Asset has become something of unlikely sex symbol, and was entirely by design. “Note Guillermo gave me, as far as physicality goes, he kept pushing sexy,” Jones said. “This character has to be sexy. When watching the film you have to believe that someone could actually fall in love with him and find him sexy want to take clothes off in The Asset presence according to the talented craftsman -- Del Toro!!

My Movie Review: The movie is exceptional in showing us new way of seeing things! Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is not the usual film that I see in the cinemas but it's gutsy striking violence on the trailer caught my eye I like how straight forward and raw most scenes were showcase. Frances McDormand is a force to be wreckin' with her acting crops were superb and there's a certain dryness and vulgarity that she possesses. Sam Rockwell is your unlikely hero that tries to save the day in the case of the rape and murder victim that form bond with chief commander and the mother seeking for justice, the brother/son role is as promising:)

Movie News: Martin McDormand's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri seemed poised from start to be an awards-season steamroller. But when the movie started screening outside the festival circuit weeks later,  what looked like consensus between both audiences and critics began to crumble. Three Billboards got something very right about women's rage, but it also got something very wrong about race- no small matter for a film set in Missouri in 2017 that features an openly racist cop who dances around and has torture black man in police custody. I had a glimpse in the news this film won in Bafta and I appreciated what it was going for too:):(

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- STARBUCKS COFFEE

My Personal Experience: I went to Starbucks Coffee Trinoma last year November 16, 2017, together with my best friend. We went there to feel the cool breeze and unwind in a cold windy night. Starbucks Coffee is the first and leading coffee-shop in the country and most part of the the globe that's why it's staple to taste the delicious cakes and sip their famous coffee blends!!!

Starbucks Coffee

Every day, we go to work hoping to do two things: share great coffee with our friends and help make the world a little better. It was true when the first Starbucks opened in 1971, and it’s just as true today. Back then, the company was a single store in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. From just a narrow storefront, Starbucks offered some of the world’s finest fresh-roasted whole bean coffees. The name, inspired by Moby Dick, evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders. The company mission is to inspire and nurture the human spirit one person, one cup and one neighbourhood at a time(:)(:)

My Movie Review: The movie is spectacular beyond belief inspire you to chase your dreams!!! The Greatest Showman is very entertaining spark the fire inside you and touches your heart in every performance~ the circus acts dazzle with awesomeness with singing that's sensational. It's a celebration of humanity indeed whatever shape, gender or color of your skin~ all is equal. Hugh Jackman is outstanding whether performing on stage or giving emotion truly a showman. Keala Settle sing beneath the bones~ break gender boundaries~ the promising star in the film. Overall I have high hope and sweet praises enjoy every moment it's the greatest show indeed:)

Movie News: The Greatest Showman, a musical biopic starring Hugh Jackman, is in cinemas but who was the real PT Barnum and Jenny Lind. Jackman’s new musical follows the true story of Barnum, the 19th century American showman, who entertained the public with his circus curiosities. Historically Barnum was something on entrepreneur and didn’t start working as a showman until he was 60-years-old. One his most famous performers was Joice Heth, a former slave who he billed as the 161-year-old nurse of George Washington. Another character based on a historical figure is Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind, played by Rebecca Ferguson.
