Rien Juan Diego has turned three last October 2005 and by June 2006 he will be 3 years old and 8 months old, old enough to start schooling as a kindergarten! My wife and I are getting excited. I am choosing from at least three pre-schools that are nearest to home. Two are parochial schools and one is from an old familiar school called Jack and Jill School, around 1.5 kilometers away from home. Surprise! Posted by Picasa Having Fun at the merry go round!

Avoid Being Visually Raped!

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc. How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them). There have been many cases of people installing 2- way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from getting "visually r...

Scene from the movie King Kong (2005) Posted by Picasa

Not Your Average Zoo Monkey

Universal Pictures’ remake of the classic King Kong is another spectacular spectacular to watch in movie theaters this Christmas Season. The story begins with gaudy, reckless documentary filmmaker, Carl Denham, sailing off to remote Skull Island to film his latest epic with leading lady, Ann Darrow. Native warriors kidnap Ann to use as a sacrifice as they summon "Kong". But instead of eating the human sacrifice, Kong rescues her. Kong is eventually taken back to New York where he searches high and low for Ann, eventually winding up at that familiar scene on top of the Empire State Building, facing off against a fleet of World War I fighter planes. Now I am almost skeptical with re-makes but this one is totally almost an original. Combined with great special effects and the genius of Peter Jackson, director of the trilogy The Lord of the Rings, King Kong makes himself Lord and King of Movies for 2005. New York Post calls it this year’s best movie. Critic Lou Lumenick writes i...

The Exorcism of Emily Rose Posted by Picasa

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Lakeshore Entertainment’s and Sony Picture’s Exorcism of Emily Rose, a true-to-life story of a Catholic Priest accused of negligent homicide of Emily Rose, allegedly possessed by six demons and died after the failed exorcism, is another classic contribution to a short list of genuinely horrifying suspense movies of all time. Father Moore, played by Tom Wilkinson, meets this agnostic high=profiled lawyer Erin Brunner, played by Laura Linney, who acts as his defense lawyer. The entire sequence of the movie comes in as flashbacks based on testimonies of witnesses closed to Emily Rose and The Ring have fans seen another great horror movie. Throughout the movie, the viewer is led to the terrifying tale of a college freshman girl, from the beginnings of her demonic possession up to her final visions and death. The tension and drama, between the prosecution and defense, even between Erin Brunner’s struggle to believe the supernatural, is palpable throughout the entire movie. What made it so u...
