Hi everyone! How was your weekend?
Mine was cool.
We were able to watched “Wanted” yesterday (well, after Pacman’s fight with Diaz) and boy I just love the movie! Though, I’m not really into action flicks but this movie was different.

The plot, the effects, the actors and the twist really got my tang!
Here’s the synopsis of the movie:
Wanted’s goal is terribly simple: let the bullets fly, let cars crash, let blood flow and let the audience just hang on for the ride. It’s not rocket science to be sure, but what they’ve created here is a beautiful mess of violence, and while the Wanted is littered with flaws, the film makes it easy to get swept away.
Wesley Gibson is a 25 year-old account manager who doesn’t have much of a life. His boss berates him constantly, he suffers from a repetitive stress disorder, and his girlfriend is sleeping with his best friend. But things change for him when a woman named Fox shows up one day, and tells him that his father was the greatest assassin who ever lived, and that Wesley had a greater destiny waiting for him. He joins the Fraternity of Assassins, a group of killers who live by fatalistic code. After enduring their incredibly tough training, Wesley goes on a quest to kill the man that killed his father. But not is all that is seems.
Whew! The movie for me was exhilarating in many ways. I was always out on my seat and kinda stressed out because of its great action scenes and twist! Though, the fans of the comic will no doubt notice that the movie’s synopsis doesn’t exactly match up with the source material. But really, you have to let it go, because in some ways, this story’s a lot better. Mark Millar’s original work seemed more interested in shocking you rather than telling a strong tale. The movie really reins it in, keeping the spirit in a much tighter package. It’s not perfect by any means: the third act gets bogged down by a stretched out monologue that shouldn’t really have been happening, some plot elements are absurd, the use of voiceover is hit-and-miss, and there’s a gaping plot whole that you could drive a dump truck through. But you won’t really get a chance to think about that, because the film throws absolutely everything at you.
And that makes the movie GREAT!
A great watch! Two thumbs up for me!

My friend Sarah who is in the states read my blog yesterday. Yeah, she secretly sneaked into my site and read some of my posts, which is good thing for me because of the added traffic that she gave. lol!After that she called me and asks me regarding a post that I previously wrote about Cisco certification. Yeah, she’s actually interested in the training programs of Cisco. She’s actually an IT graduate and now a full time IT consultant in the states. But somehow from all of the benefits she has been receiving from her IT company, she still craves for more specialization in her field.
That’s why, she’s planning to enroll at the Cisco Learning Center by the end of this year. Because for her having that certification would give her the big promotion she needed. Hmm, Sarah is really a career oriented individual and really want to get to the peak of her career. Well, who wouldn’t? Hopefully, her boss would permit to Cisco and get her certification as soon as possible.
Wow! I never thought that this Cisco certification was this big! Hopefully, in my case I can get a chance to be involved in the IT industry by next year. Yeah, as I posted earlier, I’m planning to take up an IT course by next year. That if I have the time and the permission to have it. Lol!

Hi guys, how’s your day?
Well, mine was pretty good!
And I have here a pretty stuff too..


My friend Faye is selling this Authentic Coach Gold Patchwork Bag to me. She’s my best bud from Torrance, CA and yeah she’s selling it cheaper than those online. It’s new and kinda discounted because –first, she is my best friend and second, she got this as gift from her last birthday. So she got it for free but she’s selling it to me for P5T because she needs the money badly.
She talked me into it when I told her that I might buy a Coach bag from my blog earnings and as posted here. {*wink*}. But I said “ hindi pa sure yun”, it depends upon the moolah I’ll accumulate. lol! She said that the bag was quite little for her because she has a lot of stuff to put in that’s why she never used it. I think this bag measures around 8Lx5Hx4W.
So, what do you think? Should I take it?

Since I started blogging, I was exposed to different web codes and stuffs that only a web developer or an IT graduate can truly understand. Codes of HTML and CSS were never in our curriculum when I took up Accountancy. And because of that, there are times where I couldn’t really blog the way I wanted. Well, I never thought I would need such skills because it never cross my mind even before that I will have a semi career in the blogging industry. Lol!
That’s why I’m planning to an IT course this year or early next year to support me in my web transactions and somehow make a good paying career out of it. As we all know the IT industry is at its peak and it definitely has the greater advantage in terms of salary ands opportunities. But of course before that I really have to be really trained to be the next on top.
And if given a chance, I would really want to have a Cisco certification. Because as based on the testimonials of my blog buddies and friends who have been certified, having that certification can really get you on top! And if your certified with Cisco, you’re definitely one of the BEST! Well, who wouldn’t want that?
So, if you want a change in your career or better yet a good life ahead, prepare yourself now and be Cisco certified.

My brother’s FIL has been a citizen of US since the 90’s. He has been serving the states for more than a decade that’s why it is just fair that he receives a good salary and benefit packages. Just recently their company issued a free health insurance benefit from United American Insurance Company.
This insurance company well known here in the states where they offer older individual some insurance like Critical care insurance and Medical supplement insurance.
Good thing my brother’s FIL is blessed to have a great and generous employer. And by the time he retires he’ll also have some pension from all of it. Lucky him!

As some of you know, I’m not really a sporty person. But eventhough I’m not really into sports I would really love to try the sport of tennis. My hubby in the other hand is the opposite of me in terms of sports. He has been a consistent varsity player on volleyball in his college years and has been a consistent fan of sport events telecast on TV. From boxing to rugby and any sports in that matter.
Now, he has been craving about attending the Wimbledon Tennis tournament and wanting to have a Wimbledon tennis tickets to be there before the tournament ends. Do you have any idea what that tournament is? Well, before I didn’t have any idea until today when my hubby explained to me the whole thing. Wimbledon is the oldest tennis championship in the world. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments and the only one played on grass courts.The tournament is held in the London suburb of Wimbledon, England, at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (commonly referred to as the All England Club). It is held annually from late June to early July.
Whew! This tournament has a lot of history in it ha! So, I think I would be very excited to have those tickets. It will be great to be there isn’t it? Hmm, now we just have to call the ticket brokers for some reservation or I think I’ll just check their online ticket registry first so we can do it online.

— The Best Gift Ever —
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college.
For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom
and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had
purchased the car.
Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study.
His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him.
He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said,
“With all your money you give me a Bible?”
And stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very
successful in business.
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him.
He had not seen him since that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.
He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.
He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still
new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
“And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?”
As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.
It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words…
PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God’s blessing because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for…
PLS. SEND THIS TO AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE SO AS TO LET THIS GREAT LESSON FLOW AROUND.
End Copy
Lesson I learned: (Write here what your learned)
If someone give me a gift which is not packed the way I want it, I should always remember that thought counts and to always appreciate little things because I know they are made with love whether it’s expensive or not.
