Tony and Indy

Iron Man is one of the best movies I've seen this year.

Prior to watching the movie, I had no idea who Iron Man (the comic book hero) was. All I knew was Robert Downey, Jr. was in it. I thought it was going to be another Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (sorry, I didn't like that one). I was hoping it's going to be different and I was not dissappointed.
Robert Downey, Jr. has matured a lot (age and experience) and the role of Tony Stark suited him well. He still has that "pa-cute" side of him (but done in a millionnaire/all business kind of way).
Before his brush with the law in the late 1990s, I considered him as one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. (I fell in love with Robert in his previous movies, "Chances Are" and "Only You").
I hope he continues this upswing in his career. He deserves it.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Despite the old age, Harrison Ford is still Indiana Jones, Jr.

If you're going to compare the latest franchise with the last one (that being Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989), you will be dissappointed. But if you're mababaw like me, you will definitely enjoy it. It's been 19 years, yup 19 years, since we've last seen Indy and we missed his great adventures. He's still afraid of snakes (like me) and has the best smart-ass one liners. My advice is: just enjoy the ride!

Beach-ing Again

Who said there was a tropical depression? (Actually, tropical depression COSME was just around the corner).
Last weekend, we had our summer outing at Sandbar Boquete Beach Resort in Puerto Galera. We left Manila at 6:30am and reached the resort before noon (the boat ride to the resort took longer than expected because of the strong waves).
To sum it all up and just like what my friend Tess said, "We have conquered the big waves....our fears....and we have been blessed! We had a great time!"

Prayer Before Work

Prayer Before Work

Lord, as I start the day, let me remember how blessed and

lucky I am to be in my job.

Remind me to be grateful for the work I do,

the people I meet and the wage I receive.

Keep me cooperative with my colleagues and

friendly to the people I serve.

If I have to complain, make me think of the common good and

later of my own welfare.

Help me to be honest in my dealings and

responsible in the task assigned to me.

Make me aware that in my work, I bring your work to completion.

Amen.
