I Think I'm Addicted...

Okay...So I watched Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen for the second time this week. My sister wanted to watch it so we used the movie passes that my office gave me. This time there were waaay so much people than before. We had to wait in line for 30 minutes before we could enter the cinema. And we also ended up buying a lot of the merchandise. We couldn't help it. The jacket was cool. ^_^

A Legend Passes Away...

Is it really true?
Is Michael Jackson dead?
This is such sad news.
I've always been a fan of MJ.
I remember when my sister kept me awake 'til the wee hours of the night
to watch his concert on our TV.
I think I was about seven back then...
How sad...
I wonder what will happen to his kids...

Review:Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen (Spoiler free)

I want to make this review as spoiler-free as possible because I want people to enjoy the complete awesomeness of this movie.
As in W-O-W.
There was even a scene where my mouth was literally open as I watched it.
I think Megan Fox was hotter on the first one though.
I liked her subtle sexiness last time.
In this film they're obviously trying to make money out of it.
But all the special effects were so cool.
I'm really glad I insisted watching this movie on it's first day.
I did find some errors but it would be impossible to say them without spoiling people.
I also think that some of the new characters were there as fan service only.
And without giving out much details...
2 major character dies.
Overall,I find this movie waaay cooler than the first one.
Definitely woth the money.

My New Discovery:ShopWiki

I just recently opened a Paypal account and I've been wondering where I was going to spend the funds that's on my account. To me, the most obvious answer would be online shopping.
I love to shop. The problem is, I never really liked shopping online because I think it's a hassle to browse different websites for items. I don't have the time or the patience for that.

So I'm really thankful when I discovered ShopWiki. It's like Google for shopping. ^_^
It's just more convenient this way. I basically look it up on their directory and the wiki does the job for you. It basically looks for all stores on the internet and shows you the results. It's very user friendly and you could even use advanced filters like the color of the item and the price range. They even have buying tips on the site. Cool.

I found these cool stilettos and tote bag there so basically I just bookmarked that page and I'm on my way to saving up for those items. Hurrah! Hopefully I'll find some great sunglasses
and make-up there as well. ^_^

Collections Compliance Training with Manny Newburger

Another company sponsored training for yours truly.
It was held at the Grand Ballroom C at Bellevue Alabang.
The training itself was okay and I enjoyed the food a lot.
Except for the main course. The meat was a tad too dry for my liking.
But the chocolate cupcake served during the first break was dee-lish!
I love my job. ^_^

...Her name was Lola...

Copa.. Copacabana...
I just can't get this song out of my head.
I even sang it at our family outing.
Curse Barry Manilow and his catchy tunes!
