A Cry in the Dark: A Movie Review
Writing a particular news story about Australia’s longest running ‘whodunnit’ case, my interest was steered. The sensitivity of the story made me so engrossed, that I couldn’t help but dig deeper and follow through the entire sequence of the event that divided a nation and for a long period in the early 80’s made one […]
Mamma Mia: A Movie Review
Oh, my… Mamma Mia!… Loved this film. Its story plot is very typical yet it perfectly captures the joy of the free-lovin 70’s and the gorgeous Greek Isle’s that became the symbol of a generation devoted to freedom, beauty and love. It’s the ultimate “feel-good” movie that I have ever seen so far. And why not? […]
We made it, Cassey!
I could have not enjoyed it as much as I did seeing it on film perhaps rather than on theatre, two “S” distinguished it from the stage… the perfect “setting” of the movie and “Streep” being on it. Investing a cliff-top rendition of The Winner Takes It All with far more solemnity than should be possible for such song, set on the captivating backdrop of the blue seas of Greece… such uplifting, a little tear-jerking but sure-fire stirring movie experience! It simply takes it all!

The Upside of Being the 3rd Mice
“It’s the second mice that gets the cheese.” So they say. This piece is about the third mice, though. The third mice stood behind watching the first one get caught on the mouse trap and the 2nd feast on the cheese. Hesitation has its advantages as well. You can be bold and daring, or such […]
The Jersey City I Came to Love
So there I was on my very first day in the land of the free, just sitting by the waterfront of Jersey City, with no particular itinerary. Just chillin’ relaxin’ admirin’ the beauty that lies infront of me… Ooooohhhh.. New York City! So near, yet so far! …..Nah! we were there in a blink! Ohhh… […]
Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar: A Time Travel
I did not believe time-traveling was possible until a two and a half hours drive from Manila took me back in time to Filipinas in the 18th something century… or was I just completely sold out with the whole idea of a prime spot up North dedicated for Pinoy heritage and culture? A recreational facility […]
