TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES AYALA TRIANGLE GARDENS

My Personal Experience: I went to Ayala Triangle Gardens last year November 22, 2014, together with my sister. We went there to hang-out, before going home after we dine and shop in Glorietta. My new sunglasses makes it's début in this garden while my bag makes it's last glance. I've laid down in this green grass and go around with my striking new look.

Ayala Triangle Gardens

It's the ideal spot for people who want to distance themselves from the everyday hustle bustle to relax, unwind and get in touch with nature. The lush gardens is now considered as a refuge for the fast-paced Makati life. The wide space of greeneries is enjoyable for jogging, brisk walking or people-watching.

My Movie Review: The movie is well put together, kudos to the scriptwriter and director for telling this young unique story. Love, Rosie is so random and that's the thing I love about the movie, you don't know what will you get. Lily Collins and Sam Claflin are rising stars I like to watch, I love the feeling of being in love and I hope they will team-up again. This is the first Hollywood movie I watch this 2015 and I can say this a lovely start indeed.
My Favorite Lines: "No matter where you are or what you're doing or who you're with -it doesn't matter; it doesn't change it, I always have and I always will, honestly, truly, completely -love you!" "You wonder in your heart of hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and decades were being spent the best way they could possibly could..."

My Movie Review: The movie is captivating, maybe the last for this middle earth journey but still worth while to watch. The Hobbit is unexpected for me, I didn't have an interest to follow this series when the first one came but when I gave it a try I got curious to the story. The battles were impressive I just wish they were longer cause this is the defining chapter. Bilbo Baggins caught in this chaos, I'm so happy he come home return where it all started.

My Movie Review: The movie is spectacular and grand, fresh ideas in this old story and most of the scenes took my breath away. Christian Bale is phenomenal, one of his best performance and the role fits him well. Joel Edgerton looks astonishing with his bronze skin in his gold armour match for a King. Ridley Scott hit the pot with the interpretation of the story and when the great waves arrived my jaw drop, surreal moment worth capturing.
My Favorite Lines: "Moses, Ramesses, when I look at you I still see the two boys who grew up together close as brothers. Keep each other safe always." "There is a sea ahead and an army behind. Ready yourselves. You’ve honored me with your trust. If you stay, you will perish. Follow me, you will be free. Do not be afraid. God is with us." "What is the most important thing in your life?" "You are. And when will you leave me?" "Never."
