Happy New Year!

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” – Neil Gaiman

 

Smart LTE

I was fortunate to be chosen to be part of the closed beta testers group for Smart LTE.  I got my dongle from the Jump Experience center in Megamall last Thursday and tried to set it up that same night.  

U2 360 – Reminiscing

Last year, I witnessed one of the best concerts EVER, featuring the most amazing band.  Last December 13, 2011, I watched U2 360 in Sydney with some of my best friends.  And it was EPIC.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol

Press Screening Ticket

To be honest, I went into the cinema expecting the movie to be bad.  From what I can remember, I really only enjoyed the first movie.  I’m also not a Tom Cruise fan.  Plus, how can a movie franchise come up with new something new for this 4th installment?

I was so wrong.

New Year’s Eve

The press screening tickets...

[NOTE: This has spoilers, so don't read it if you haven't watched the movie yet...]

New Year’s Eve is an entertaining movie, even with all its flaws.  But I think you can skip it and just wait for it on DVD.

Here are my thoughts on the movie:

Sebastian’s Malted Milkbar

Dive Bar - Malted Milkbar

I LOVE malt chocolates.  I love any chocolate drink with malt (hello there Ghirardelli chocolate drink from Cheesecake Etc.!) I used to love Horlicks when it was widely available.   Which is why when I read about Sebastian’s Malted Milkbar, I knew I just had to try it!  It was on my mind for a week, but I didn’t have time to pass by Podium.  I was finally able to go last week and WOW, IT WAS AWESOME!  The ice cream itself, malt-vanilla , was so good I could have eaten it alone.  But it was so much better with the frozen chocolate and crushed maltesers around it!  This is a must-try guys!

Steak 101

Last friday we had dinner at Mike’s house.  He served us steaks and mashed potatoes and IT WAS AWESOME!  I learned so much from him, and I think the learnings are worth sharing!

Blog blag!!!

I want to fix my blog!!!  I wish I was more techie so I can just fix this without any effort.  I have to fix the ads (they’re not supposed to be in all entries!), and I want to add more features like the share buttons!  I also can’t get the featured topics on the homepage to work properly.  UGH.  I wish I had more time too, so that I can really working on fixing this blog.  For now, this will have to do…

 

Happy Feet Two!

I was really looking forward to this movie because I absolutely enjoyed the first one.  And it definitely did not disappoint!

Though the first  movie had better songs in general, this was still very entertaining, and it also had its fair share of fun songs.  I liked it from start to finish!  Everything was just right – cuteness, great visuals, the message, funny moments, and of course the awesome songs.

Here’s the list of things I really enjoyed (these are SPOILERS, in case you haven’t watched it yet):

2011 Movies

This was a good movie year for me!  I am fortunate enough to be invited to press screenings of many movies so I was able to watch many movies this year!  I got the idea of listing down all of the movies from Teckie.  I’m planning to do this every year. :)  I hope I can post a review for every movie I watch I don’t want to get ahead of myself. :)

So here’s the list of the movies I got to watch this year, plus my ratings.
