TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES SUBA-BASBAS BEACH

My Personal Experience: I went to Suba-Basbas Beach this year May 3, 2015, together with my sister and her boyfriend. We went there to spend the afternoon on our first day of stay in the resort. After getting our rooms we immediately went to explore the beach and take pictures of each other. We sat on the chairs in the sand and hangout to the cottages.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES PACIFIC CEBU ISLAND

My Personal Experience: I went to Pacific Cebu Island this year May 4, 2015, together with my family and some relatives. We went there to spend time on the beach this summer in a sunny day. I felt lucky to be here in vacation mode after finishing my part-time job. The view is awesome with less people like we found a paradise in our own private beach.

My Movie Review: The movie is a funny combination of wit and charm shown in different situations. Reese Witherspoon as the uptight cop with over the book personality and Sofia Vergara as the sexy window whose loud and proud, outrageous and hilarious over the top loose cannonball. This unlikely duo made a good team in escaping the bad guys but one of the has a hidden agenda that will take turn in the story. I've expected lots of adventure but I guess those caught in the moment scenes were the real adventure that makes it fun.
My Favorite Lines: "Mrs. Riva, I am a police officer." "Oh please! Look at you! You are teeny tiny! You look like a little dog that I can put in my purse." "What is that white thing?" "Oh, that's my underwear." "That's no underwear. That's a diaper!" "Officer Cooper is four feet, nine inches." "Oh, come on!" "Traveling with a 50-year-old suspect."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: HONG HONG CAUSEWAY BAY

My Personal Experience: I went to Causeway Bay last November 23, 2014, together with my sister. We went there to see the street market, boutiques and shopping malls in our first city tour. We saw Times Square, Hysan Place at Lee Gardens and Forever 21. Along the street we find ourselves with crowded people so we stop to find a sit to eat and drink.













Causeway Bay
If shopping is a sport, Causeway Bay is the Olympic Games. This is where consumerism is out and proud, and every available square inch is seemingly devoted to worshipping at the altar of retail. Even though a relatively compact area, it would still take at least an entire day to work your way through its endless shopping malls, department stores, boutiques and market stalls.

Source: http://movies.insing.com/movie/careful-what-you-wish-for-2015/id-58e80000/

My Movie Review: The movie is a reminder that be careful on choosing people to deal cause you don't know what they are capable of or in other words don't trust too easy. Wishing for something to come true doesn't happen in an instant but temptation may come that you can't resist. In this case do what you think is right to get away from trouble yet again sometimes little trouble is what we need to learn. This movie screams summer with it's cool vibe, young sexy people around and the suspense of what's gonna happen next.

More Description: Doug Martin, a boy, gets more than he bargained for after entering into an affair with the wife of an investment banker. Soon, a suspicious death and substantial life insurance policy embroil him in a scandal.

My Personal Experience: I went to Sheung Wan last November 23, 2014, together with my sister. This is the start of our Hong Kong Trip exploring the neighbours at Butterfly on Hollywood.
