The Dream Home

Posted by rona at 8:40:00 PM 4 Reviewers Commented
Hubby and I are going to move to another house this coming week which is nearer the seminary to where he is attending classes to. It is located on the third floor of the whole apartment building. For me, the place and the house itself is nice and I'm very thankful enough of it already. It is a bungalow type of apartment, which is spacious and really quiet. This is best since both of us are going to be studying this year.

Okay, let's fast forward. After one to two years, by the time that we have finished our studies, we are going to move out again. And I always hope that we are moving in to our dream home! Well, I'd like to be residing near the beach if ever. I have always wanted that. You know, the cool breeze of the ocean that welcomes your every morning and of course the cozy place of our home. I was thinking that Miami Beach Luxury Real Estate is a best option for this!

How would you like to live in a nice home like this?




I am very sure that you too wouldn't say no to this dream home of mine courtesy of the Miami Beach Luxury Real Estate! How i wish!

The Next Three Days Movie Review

Posted by rona at 7:25:00 PM 3 Reviewers Commented
Hello folks! Here I am who has just finished watching the movie entitled, "The Next Three Days". And once again, Russell Crow who starred in this movie made it very amazing! Truly amazing!



I know that I've found out about this movie quite late and kinda outdated already since this is a 2010 film. But as we all know, Russell Crow movies always never fail to be something really admirable. I've watched him in Beautiful Mind and Gladiator which for certain you'll all agree that became hit and earned awards and positive reviews from around the world.

For a short summary, The Next Three Days showcases a man of courage and excellent intelligence. His outstanding unconditional love he has for his innocent imprisoned wife drove him to come up with a plan of escaping her from jail. This was because the Dui Lawyer Pasco County who was handling his wife's case seemed to lose hope to relieve his wife from jail at all. He may have experienced errors and trials during the planning, from which he did all the strategies of a man who escaped from prison many times; met and befriended bad guys to get passports and legal documents done for his family's fleeing but that was all the consequences of his plans.

Well, I must say that this movie, John's character (Russell) in particular, made everything possible and even successful. I could not get over the feeling of amazement and impressive job that he has done. He successfully escaped his wife that the cops were so impressed and so disappointed at the same time that they failed to catch them. Yes, they might have done a very wrong thing that could have gotten him and his wife killed but thank goodness that his family was safe.

But then, i was happy that the end part of the movie left investigator of the murder case opened for another conclusion. He finally felt that John's wife was really innocent. I just hope that Dui Lawyer Pasco County will now carefully look into cases from now on.

I give two thumbs up for this movie! Kudos!

CSI Las Vegas 13th Season

Posted by rona at 7:18:00 PM 0 Reviewers Commented
If you are an avid follower of this series just like me, I'm sure that you also already memorized the theme song, "Who Are You". Well, i love this song so much. It just perfectly fits!

Anyway, CSI Las Vegas is one of my favorite American series aside from Prison Break which already finished, Dr. House, Alias and a lot more. This particular series is remarkable because of its highly educational concept of investigation into little details that would surely help students in this career. If you are looking for some research on investigational strategies and scientific lab works that would help into solving a case, CSI will definitely be on top of the list. Whether you are a Criminal Defense Attorney Salt Lake or a police investigator, or a student taking up Law.

Talking about the 13th Season, i just realized that my DVD copy with me is being left behind already. My favorite Catherine Willows who for me is a Criminal Defense Attorney Salt Lake, already have left the show. According to Wikipedia, Catherine thought that it's about time for her to leave the show for being in it for the last 12 seasons. Her last appearance was aired around January this year. I am looking forward to be seeing her in that last episode and see the twist in there. Well, I'm getting there! Almost!

Let's Go Fishing

Posted by rona at 6:38:00 PM 0 Reviewers Commented
I always wish that I finally get to experience fishing with my own fishing equipments and catch a fish that will be my very first catch! Just that, I don't have the opportunity yet.

As I went into browsing the web about fishing, I saw that there a lot of tips and useful information that you can get for someone who is really into it. I realized that fishing also needs orientation especially for newbies. The knowledge before getting engaged into fishing will definitely help a lot. Well, I truly need that as I am really amateur about this, i have to admit.

While browsing online, I found myself landing on an interesting site. It is called the Lake Michigan Fishing Charters. They have there everything that you need to know on the homepage. They are a sport fishing company for sport fishing professionals. What's fun is a list of species that you can fish which is the following:

Sailfish
Wahoo
Tuna
Cobia
Blue Marlin
White Marlin
Swordfish
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Kingfish
Grouper
Snapper
Almaco Jacks
Amberjacks
Sharks


By just looking at that list, I'm sure that this Lake Michigan Fishing Charters has continuosly attracted fishing enthusiasts. Because clients will not only enjoy fishing but also their facilities that you can bring your families with you for a fun fishing experience! They have this state-of-the art electronics and fishing gear (Both newly outfitted in 2009). All boats offer large comfortable galley with bathrooms, kitchen and dining area. So if you and your family are thinking of fishing together, this is your best choice!

In Bruges Movie Review

Posted by rona at 3:27:00 PM 0 Reviewers Commented



Okay, this is not my kind of movie. But since I surprisingly took patience on watching it from beginning to end which made me feel proud of myself, (laughing*) I also wanted to do a review about it with all honesty and pure opinion from me.

Let me quote a little information from Wikipedia first.
In Bruges is a 2008 comedy-drama film written and directed by Martin McDonagh. The film stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two hitmen in hiding, with Ralph Fiennes as their gangster boss.

First reaction:
For me, this is never a comedy-drama film but a heavy one. The cinematography itself does not imply a funny atmosphere to its audience. Also, I wasn't particular about technicalities before but I don't know why this movie doesn't have any sound effects in the background.

Second reaction:
I got really alarmed and terrified by the main cast who accidentally killed a sweet child who is fervently praying on his knees in the church! I almost cut it right there and then. Good thing that I was intrigued what will happen next.

Third reaction:
I think the main cast is really having an anger management problem that he hit a woman in a restaurant. Well, it couldn't be avoided since he was influenced by drugs for which concerned people will want to call for a Drugs Lawyer Overland Park.

This is only pure and honest opinion from me as a viewer and my bottomline here is, drugs can ruin a man's life. In this movie, we saw the reality of how drugs can affect a man's behavior. Well, if things like this happen, it's best to seek for a Drugs Lawyer Overland Park to be advised with what's best to do.

Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo: A Pinoy TV Series

Posted by rona at 9:15:00 AM 0 Reviewers Commented


Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo is ABS-CBN's new drama series that replaced Angelito Batang Ama after it ended sometime last April. This drama series stars Jake Cuenca, Shaina Magdayao and Bangs Garcia together with the casts Gloria Diaz as Jake Cuenca's mother and Sandy Andolong as Shaina's mother.

This drama mirrors the reality of typical life of Filipinos, who for the sake of the family's well being choose to go abroad for work despite the loneliness away from the family.

As to the drama's main plot, because of the distance and loneliness while working abroad, temptation likely occurs. Paul (Jake Cuenca), sees himself being temptated for his ex-girlfriend Mia (Bangs Garcia) who's also working in the same place with him. As to the current episode on TV, Sarah (Shaina) is left in the Philippines and grieving over their baby's death. Paul couldn't make way of going back home for her since he just started working. With that situation, he finds comfort from Mia who is still in love with him and very much willing to be at his side. That's when things start to become complicated between the three of them.

Well, Sarah will definitely find out sooner or later about her husband and Mia. Which could mean lots of pain and confusion in her part. If divorce is only legal in the Philippines, I think she would consult a Divorce Lawyer Charleston if she cannot take the pain of being betrayed anymore.

According to study, most of broken marriages are caused of extra marital affairs. Husbands and wives have been seeking for Divorce Lawyer Charleston to end marriage. In my opinion, i still hope that marriages continue in love and harmony if it could be sustained as that. But because of this sad reality, i think only the Lord knows how to heal and let us able to move on with life.

We Availed E-Plus!

Posted by rona at 11:00:00 AM 5 Reviewers Commented
If last April, I kinda introduced e-PLUS here on my blog, shortly after that, I never thought that we would be availing the said card when I and Hubby treated ourselves a movie date.

It was for the very first time that I finally saw big banners of this e-PLUS around the cinema and a booth to where they process the card. I also saw this e-PLUS machine in each theater entrances. We were so thrilled of getting a card for ourselves so I hurried to get as much information as I can at the booth and availed one. Though, until now, we still did not move the card nor the complimentary pass that went with it because we wanted to see the 3D Avenger movie in that time which is not covered by the e-PLUS.

What we got?
An e-PLUS card for only P300 which was processed in just 30 minutes.


A complimentary movie pass that will expire on July 5, 2012.


And a thermos flask as a freebie!


How to Avail an e-PLUS card:
1. Go to the e-PLUS booth in any SM Cinemas and fill out a form.
2. Show one valid ID. Government issued ones preferably.
3. Wait for them to encode your records and give you the card with your printed name on it.
4. You will need to register via SMS (instructions are clearly stated by them) and wait for a reply that gives you a code number that is needed to get the complimentary pass.
5. Once card and another movie pass is given, freebies are handed too!

This e-PLUS card can be used in any SM Cinemas nationwide. I assure you that having this card will lessen your budget wisely in your movie viewing than having to go and buy a regular ticket every time. You'll just need to load it when it runs out of load and go straight to your choice of movie. Also, you'll not need to worry about your companions with you because your card can be swiped many times in one entry for as long as you have enough load in it. And the best thing is, there are lots of surprises, discounts and freebies waiting for you!

Photobucket App for iPad 2 Review

Posted by rona at 2:32:00 PM 0 Reviewers Commented
On the first few weeks of exploring iPad, I never thought that I could do pretty much a lot of things in it just as I do with my laptop. It occurred to me that it's only a matter of patience, willingness to learn and unending discovery. I realized that I only have to learn more on how to get used to this gadget and its basic features. As I gave time on it today, AppStore provides a vast of applications and softwares in just any category that suit your needs. And I did have fun on searching! Plus, you can purchase the apps at very low costs if not FREE! Just a tip though. Make sure to read the reviews first before purchasing one.

As for me, I immediately looked for Photobucket that is compatible with iPad 2. Well, lucky me! Because the app was free! Without further thinking, I installed it right away and learned all the functions. Photobucket is my most favorite online photo storage since it automatically gives you the direct link as well as the HTML and codes to the images. Photobucket has been my great helper that I've been relying on it for months now especially with my blog designing hobby.

In fact, those giveaway badges that I have there on the right sidebar of this blog was linked using this Photobucket app as I am writing this post in iPad too. See just how technology works? If before, we could only be comfortable with our big laptops, now, we could do it too with iPad or iPhone too, whether we're home or out of the house.

When Family Problems Set In

Posted by rona at 7:22:00 AM 0 Reviewers Commented
They say that a family that communicates in love and understanding will likely be together for the longest time possible. But if we see our world today, this happens so rarely. Whether in movies and in real life, separation of families or should I say, broken families are now reaching its highest toll according to the world's survey.

There are many factors and reasons why families that started so beautifully in the beginning would only turn out broken in the end. But as far as I am concern, or I think most of us do, wouldn't want our family to end up in a bad break up. It's because, it's not only the parents who suffer but most especially are the children.

When things go tough and messed up with the parents' relationship, well, as expected, they would rather consult a Divorce Attorney Overland Park than giving their marriage another chance. There follows the paper works and hearing in the court that comes so easily now. The process and all is done in a matter of weeks before you know it. So, most of the time, married couples find divorce as the main solution to a petty couple problem if not worse.

With that having said, what comes after is the talk over the custody of the child or children. With the help of the Child Support Lawyer Overland Park, arrangements over the children's well being is neatly processed. With both of the parents' cooperation, taking care of their children comes with an uneasy routine for the kids' part. I really do wish that parents consider marriage counseling first and try harder to make things work, for as long as there's even a slight chance for their marriage to work for the sake of their children.

Blogpress App Review

Posted by rona at 7:28:00 PM 3 Reviewers Commented
Last December, I and Hubby purchased an iPad 2 which has been a big help to us not just in our personal use but also with work. My hubby finds it very useful for him as a pastor that he found solace in it on learning his sermons and meditations that come in handy at all times. He downloaded applications that allow him to store his sermons and it became his tool on searching preferences from the internet as well. Just lately, he started bringing it with him to the pulpit to have a glimpse of his sermon outline every now and then.

As a blogger myself, iPad made it very simple and so much easier for me to blog. Everything was confusing at first but I was able to learn the basics. Blogpress was the first application that came to mind when I decided to consider blogging in iPad. For only $3, i didn't think twice at all and downloaded the said app right away. With all excitement, from the moment that it finished installing, my fingers and curiosity rummaged itself on familiarizing its functions. Gladly, Blogpress is blogger friendly! I had my first blog post published online in just about 5 minutes. I love it so much that posting photos in my posts is easier compared to my laptop. I don't have to wait for the photos to be uploaded anymore. They appear like magic to where I want them to appear. The other functions (i.e. bolding, italicizing letters , block quoting etc...) are equally easy to learn too.



All in all, I rate Blogpress 9 out 10! I'd love to recommend this app to my friends if they consider blogging from their iPads as well. To be precise, this post is made through Blogpress! I managed to change the below signature from "Posted from Blogpress in my iPad" into my usual personal signature.

A Quote that Changed my Heart

Posted by rona at 1:17:00 AM 29 Reviewers Commented

I still can remember vividly a saying that my grandmother once told me when I was a little girl that really struck my heart and mind by the time that I finally understood what she said. 

She said, "your face's beauty and physical outlook is the mirror of your heart".

At first, I didn't know what it meant. But as I become older, that saying that my grandma shared to me, seemed to have implanted in my heart. I understood that if a heart is full of anger, hatred, envy, jealousy, malice and other many negativity, it is mirrored to your outward look. But a heart full of love and compassion manifests to a good and beautiful face that people around you will notice. This will only be possible if you allow God to enter your heart and bear fruits of the Holy Spirit. 

That very saying made an impact to me because the person who shared it is full of wisdom and very Godly. Do you know when did I finally came to realize the meaning behind that saying? When I became a teacher. That's why I would always tell my pupils this with the hope that they'd understand it too as they grow up. 

Oh, I just suddenly missed my grandma! She's very old now and living in the province. I wish to see her soon!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S to Have a Movie Reunion

Posted by rona at 10:55:00 PM 0 Reviewers Commented

Who would forget this American sitcom, FRIENDS? For the record, this is the all-time favorite TV show not only in America but all over the world that this was dubbed in different languages just to satisfy its loyal viewers from across the world. 

According to Wikipedia, Friends received positive reviews throughout its run, becoming one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. The series won many awards and was nominated for 63 Primetime Emmy Awards. The series, an instant hit from its debut, was also very successful in the ratings, consistently ranking in the top ten in the final primetime ratings. Many critics now regard it as one of the finest shows in television history, including TV Guide, which ranked it No. 21 on their list of the 50 greatest TV shows of all time. In 1997, the episode "The One with the Prom Video" was ranked No. 100 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All-Time. The series made a large cultural impact, which continues today. The Central Perk coffee house that was featured prominently in the series has inspired various imitations throughout the world. The series continues in syndication worldwide. All 10 seasons are available on DVD. The spin-off series Joey was created to follow up with the series after the finale. 
Friends cast on a pictorial
By this hilarious and witty sitcom, I believe that we have not forgotten the quotes and lines as well that really made us crack into pure laughter. With the rumors that's been going around about FRIENDS to reunite in a movie, though not confirmed yet, this for sure will earn Blockbuster hits big time! Fans from different nations and tongue will definitely go running to cinemas to once again see their favorite casts on the big screen. I hope that this will not be a rumor at all but a sure movie sooner or later.
The FRIENDS casts bowing for the last time on the set.
By the way, who among the Friend's casts is your most favorite? For me, I'd pick Joey, Chandler and Phoebe! They sure have nailed their character and even became popularized by it.
