TRAVEL TO PLACES: CARBONARA ON DAD'S BIRTHDAY

My Personal Experience: I happened to have eat Carbonara on Dad's 70th Birthday last year August 18, 2020, together with my parents, brother's son and wife. We were excited to taste so we dine early the food mom ordered and prepared- fish fillet, tempura, beef caldereta, veggies! Carbonara is the star dish since the first time to taste it cook's version so creamy and delicious!

Carbonara On Dad's Birthday

Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome made with egg, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. The dish arrived at its modern form, with its current name, in the middle of the 20th century.The cheese is usually Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or a combination of the two. Spaghetti is the most common pasta, but fettuccine, rigatoni, linguine, or bucatini are also used. Normally guanciale or pancetta are used for the meat component, but lardons of smoked bacon are a common substitute outside Italy. Some preparations have more sauce as therefore use of tubular-shaped pasta, such as penne, which is better' suited to holding sauce:)

My Movie Review: The movie is pure, gross, goofy, extremely earnest harmless Halloween fun a worthy addition to Adam Sandler's comedy flicks its definitely more of a treat than a trick:) Hubie Halloween is actually pretty cool I didn't expect to be this good it's not a masterpiece but probably the most watchable of Sandler's Netflix films I love the vibe it brings light careless fun! I thought the movie was absolutely fantastic Adam Sandler played the role of Hubie Dubois very well no one can act like him. He played the role in the comedy family movie very well and As I'm not actual fan of Adam Sandler few films but I find to enjoy watching this one very much! In the role that he played, he showed reactions like flinching and I still don't know how but if you watch the movie again he dodges almost everything thrown at him. He had a kindhearted and loving person feel to everything he did. I think their thermos idea was absolutely incredible! I love the supporting cast and unexpected funny twist that's his mom was the villain silly but I get the point as the ending he finally gets to kiss and marry the girl love of his life so touching:0

Critics Consensus: Viewers immune to its star's charms won't find it much of a treat, Hubie Halloween is sweet enough to satisfy fans of Adam Sandler's antics. More unexpectedly, it's generally bearable - a light, sweet and nostalgic comedy that is pleasantly devoid of high stakes. "Hubie Halloween" is a seasonal goodie, and it's more treat than trick. Now this is a rare sight: a Happy Madison production that is not entirely terrible? It's nothing spectacular in terms of its story and execution, but it certainly provides some light humor against a nostalgic Halloween backdrop. Fresh because it's the first Adam Sandler movie in ages that didn't make me want to scoop my eyeballs out with a spoon. It's harmless but forgettable. Sandler is using the same bag of tricks he's been using for over 20 years, but it is better than most recent Happy Madison films. The Netflix movie is real not bad it tones down usual Sandler elements into some very harmlessly charming moments. And 'restrained' is really the word for it. None of this is particularly original though' as nobody said you had to be original to make people laugh:)

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- WHITE RED VELVET CAKE

My Personal Experience: I happened to have White Red Velvet Cake last year July 15, 2020, together with my mom. To top it all off I received my birthday cake 5 days after my 27 birthday:) I have to say this pandemic and lockdown make us for more hungry to celebrate and long for the moments by making the most which results to my longest memorable birthday celebration!!

White Red Velvet Cake

White velvet cake is red velvet‘s pretty little sister. Red velvet cake has been around for ages and probably one of the most popular cake flavors of all time. But not everyone want’s to eat red food coloring or maybe they have special dietary requirements that don’t allow them to eat red food dye. Whatever the reason, options are always good. What is white velvet cake? White velvet cake is basically red velvet without the red. It’s a buttermilk cake base that results in a very soft, fluffy and moist cake. If you leave out all the color and the cocoa powder you have yourself a nice white velvet cake. Neat huh. The buttermilk gives this southern inspired cake it’s rich and velvety texture. Traditional Red velvet cake has little bit more of cocoa powder in it!

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: OLOTURE

Director: Kenneth Gyang

Cast: Sharon Ooja , Omowumi Dada , Ada Ameh , Omoni Oboli , Beverly Osu , Patrick Doyle , Blossom Chukwujekwu , Sambasa Nzeribe , Bukola Oladipupo , Daniel Effiong , Segun Arinze

Plot: A journalist goes undercover as a prostitute to expose but she only finds a world of exploited women and ruthless violence. Set in Nigeria, Oloture is the story of a young, naive Nigerian journalist who goes undercover to expose the shady underworld of human trafficking:(

My Movie Review: The movie is devastating portrait of misadventures in the world of human trafficking that's quite intimidating at first yet as it go on moving and relatable stories took place very effective performance and powerful in execution this one is really a diamond in the rough:) Oloture is not a kind of movie you usually see but if you monitor every new releases every month like me you may come across with this at the start of last October this worth your peak:0 This is really an excellent movie as it does not shy away from the realities of young black women in that country and poverty plays real big part why this happen and still happening now! Oloture is not just a film in some ways its a moment that reminds us to stay woke and make us think others sake you should know it isn’t for the faint of heart as it has moments that really shocking and the brutality is in high par so let this be a cautionary tale and consider being safe!

Movie News: The Good: Impressive cinematography. Given the movie’s theme it captures people and places in fitting surrealism so that the audience’s attention remains focused on the movie’s theme. There is no distracting glamour. Just gritty, sweaty and hard-hitting unglazed reality. Sharon Ooja impresses as the titular protagonist, an undercover journalist posing as a prostitute to investigate a sex trafficking cartel. Omoni Oboli also impresses as the Sex traffic Madam complete with a scowling attitude albeit almost ruined by her (and the movie’s) off-putting obsession with cigarettes. The Bad: The story was basic and uncomplicated such that it questions why it needed an undercover journalist investigating a sex traffic cartel to drive the storyline. Then, there was the implausible hint at a possible romance between Oloture and her editor which came off as rather lame. The Ugly: That scene of Patrick Doyle’s Sir Philip room raping a drugged Oloture, hands down, deserves to be AMVCA for Ugly Sex Face of the year:0

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: VAMPIRES VS. THE BRONX

Director: Osmany Rodriguez

Cast: Jaden Michael , Gregory Diaz IV , Sarah Gadon , Adam David Thompson , Method Man, Shea Whigham ,The Kid Mero , Chris Redd , Vladimir Caamaño , Gerald Jones , Zoe Saldana

Plot: A group of three young friends from the Bronx fight to save their neighborhood from gentrification...and vampires.

Source: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8976576/

My Movie Review: The movie is a witty likeable refreshing take on vampire lore that gets more exciting towards the midway using it as a means to highlight the horrors of gentrification! A silly fun but slight horror-comedy that's clever and engaging as it doesn't do much with its biting metaphor on urban gentrification for those who enjoy supernatural and adventure flicks:)( Vampires vs the Bronx is some light-hearted with underlying message and a steady stream of great gags that manages to put a stake to the heart of few real issues while it tickles your ribs:) This young bloods clean up the concourse it exceeded my expectations as a trio of teens from The Bronx were concerned about their local grocery store shutdown cause of new real estate development and what shocking to me the store operator die sad and not necessary but also brilliant- unexpected moments like this makes the movie so authentic and it fresh start as well:)

Critics Consensus: In the sharp, socially conscious battle of Vampires vs. the Bronx, comedy and horror blend brilliantly and the audience is the winner. There's a comfortable, familiar, save-the-old-community-centre spirit about this movie. Do recommend checking it, specially if you're in a Halloween mood. It's a fun movie, but it could have been a lot better. Alive, inventive, and specific, this horror-comedy is an absolute winner. Who would have thought with a title like that this would be a decent film! The non-elaborate scenarios and relaxed posture generate a likable indie flavor... When a horror-comedy is as agile, charming, and funny as this, everybody wins. A formulaic story with refreshing cultural lens and social commentary.....A Latinx household is fully equipped for a possible vampire invasion. It wasn't painful, but I had high expectations...the jokes did hit made me laugh...It exceeded expectations...fun and short:)

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- HAWAIIAN THEME BIRTHDAY

My Personal Experience: I went to our other house for Hawaiian Theme Birthday last year July 10, 2020, together with my neighbors. I went to the grass in front of the house for that Hawaiian Feels for my solo photos plus added Pineapple Juice, Pineapple Chunks to top it All:) I made it possible to be in outdoor set-up because its my birthday I will do what I like.. freedom!

Hawaiian Theme Birthday

A luau is a Hawaiian party or feast often accompanied by entertainment. It's an event where friends and family eat, laugh and bond through a fun shared experience. You can do it as a simple backyard BBQ or go all-out and re-create a tropical Hawaiian experience. Throwing a Hawaiian theme party is easier than you think. A lūʻau (Hawaiian: lūʻau, also anglicized as "luau") is a traditional Hawaiian party or feast. It may feature food such as poi, kālua puaʻa (kālua pig), poke, lomi salmon, ʻopihi, & haupia, beer and traditional Hawaiian Music and Hula:)
