An eventful day at Iloilo Mission Hospital

Last Thursday night, my mom was admitted in the hospital. She finally decided to have her wounds checked and medically cured because it had been 2 months ever since she'd been experiencing the crater-deep wounds that seemed to have been cursed with excruciating pain and endless anti-healing properties.

I was supposed to talk about how my day turned out however I have now completely forgotten what it was I'd been planning to share to pique your interest. I had some informative pictures I wanted to share, but those will be on a to-follow basis.

Unknown Movie Review

If you think Liam Neeson's debonair appeal and deep voice is growing on you, Unknown is definitely a movie not to miss out on. Although some have said that seeing the trailer would be the most epic mistake you'd do before watching it, it wasn't actually a dead giver. I've seen the trailer and wasn't surprised it had more twists in the ending after watching the full-length of the movie.

Unknown is about a man claiming his identity was stolen after being in an accident that made him forget the most significant truth of who he was. Fortunately, he meets people in the way who believe in him, which leads him to discover an international disaster about to happen. Although I am aware that Mr. Neeson is not the type to accept roles of simple/comedic movie plots, I was still surprised on the unveiling of the conspiracy that was within.

With Neeson in a film, the leading ladies are quite a sight for sore eyes. They may not have the figure of the sexy Angelina Jolie, but what they lack in voluptuousness they make up in hard-to-forget beautiful faces.

Overall, Unknown was a good movie to watch. It may not be as heart-wrenching as Rise of the Planet of the Apes or as heroic as Captain America, but for those already into the cat-and-mouse chase and action thriller genre, Unknown is worth the ticket.

Sunset at Marikina

Where best to view the sunset but on top of one of the tallest houses in the neighborhood.

It is my pride and joy to declare that no DSLR camera was used in capturing this beautiful moment. My Samsung Galaxy Y pretty much did the job.

Witch by Christopher Pike

I've always been amazed by Christopher Pike's ability to spin a web of supernatural tails. Witch is one of his works I've picked up in a bookstore.

My overall impression of the story is that it's definitely not one of his page-turners. After finishing the latest book of The Last Vampire and 2 books of Remember Me, it was unavoidable to keep my expectation bar at a certain level. His teen novels starring female protagonists are one of my obsessions simply because they're always rendered in a way that they exude smartness and courage.

Julia Florence was a witch. She was a healer but like a troubled teen having the lack of emotional maturity, she ends getting back at someone for revenge which pretty much teaches her that the future she's been trying to avoid is inevitable.


In the last pages of the story, she realizes her purpose and does what she perceives is the right thing to do.

Unlike my other reading sessions, this book took a little longer to finish. Although I enjoyed the story line, there was something off on the way he'd written the character lines. Some had been too straightforward while others were just too... shallow which is contrary to what I've read in his other books. I probably got used to his old ones wherein they always had depth or an uncanny sense of agenda.

Our Enchanted Kingdom Adventure at Laguna, Philippines

Enchanted Kingdom is one of the best sites to visit for entertainment purposes in the Philippines. Like any other theme park, our day was filled with multiple rides, a lot of laughter, enticing prizes from addictive fair games and more. 

The Regular Day Pass cost 500 Php. We were also lucky to have availed the 4+1 package which required the Mercury Suki Card.

Why was food not mentioned? Simply because we only went to Ice Monster and had cups of ice cream and shaved ice desserts for lunch.

Who would've thought we'd spend more than 1000+ Php on all those games. I badly wanted the big prize but alas, we had no whatsoever talent in winning them... except for my brother-in-law, that is.

Multiple games with prizes big and small are distributed throughout the park. They're pretty tempting to play. Some of the difficult ones have bigger prizes. At approximately 50 Php, one can get the chance to play ring tosses, ball pitches and even rope ladder climbing to take home the "XL" prize.

Call me, Chicken! But I'll take a rain check on this one.

The Enchanted Kingdom experience is never complete without the Space Shuttle. Of course, I wasn't the type who'd demand to ride it all, so I left this one for the kids to savor.

Still I'd be damned if I'd miss out on the Rio Grande Rapids. My niece was one of the unfortunate ones who came out extremely wet from wave after wave, some of which went over her head. I wasn't spared the humiliation of walking on squeaky wet shoes and "newly laundered jeans" either.

Unfortunately, they had to temporarily close the Anchor's Away ride during the show.

One of Enchanted Kingdom's performances during the afternoon was that of the story of Jesus as told by their guest narrator Miss Assunta de Rossi.

The Wheel of Fate at Dusk.

 At last, night time came with the Wheel of Fate lighting up. My niece particularly mentioned how unfair it was that the moment we disembarked the ride, the lights turned on and the wheel turned "pretty".

 Here's our last stop, the Serenade at the Courtyard, featuring two wonderful voices.

Game of Thrones Season 2 Teaser

I simply had to share this link for the 22 minute Teaser of Game of Thrones Season 2. I've been waiting for the next season and it took them longer than expected to create the sequel of this amazing HBO series.

Daenerys Targaryen leads the Dothraki with her dragon. Game of Thrones Season 2 will certainly be dominated by women in power.

Watch the Game of Thrones Season 2 Teaser here.

And my personal favorite female, Arya Stark, pretends to be a young boy traveling towards the north with Yoren's party.

The Game of Thrones Season 2, also known as The Clash of Kings, from the book written by George R.R. Martin was something I've been dying to watch ever since Eddard Stark's beheading. It even came to such a point that I had to purchase the entire book set so I could just find out what was to happen next. Unfortunately, since it was written in Old English, that fiery light burning through my eyes dwindled into a very tiny spark.

I honestly don't know where Jon Snow, Commander Mormont and Samwell Tarly are going.

Anyway, they've further made the characters complex whilst preserving the original story line. And as mentioned by Peter Dinklage, they've used less CGIs.

One of the newer characters in the series, Stannis Baratheon is plotting his next move. He will partially responsible of Renly's downfall.
