When In Rome & Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

When In Rome Synopsis: Disillusioned with romance during her whirlwind trip to Rome, an ambitious New Yorker defiantly swipes a few magic coins from a "foolish" wishing fountain, inadvertently igniting the passions of a motley crew of suitors as she's pursued by a handsome reporter with charm to spare. Beth (Kristen Bell) is at a point in her life where love seems like a luxury she just can't afford. Years of waiting for that perfect romance has made Beth bitter, and one day, while vacationing in Rome, she cynically plucks a handful of coins from a local fountain of love. Almost immediately thereafter, Beth finds herself fending off the advances of a diminutive sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a lanky street magician (Jon Heder), a doting painter (Will Arnett), and a narcissistic male model (Dax Shepard). Meanwhile, a smitten reporter (Josh Duhamel) does his best to convince Beth that true love isn't just a topic of fairy tales and romance novels.

My review: I thought this movie was adorable. It was a really funny movie and it keep me laughing through out the movie. I love the ending to this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. It's worth it. I give it a 5/5.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Synopsis: Trouble-prone Percy Jackson is having problems in high school - but that's the least of his challenges. It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus seem to have walked out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology texts and into more »his life. Percy has learned that his real father is Poseidon, god of the sea, which means Percy is a demigod - half human, half god. At the same time, the powerful gods on Olympus are feuding, which could launch a war enveloping our entire planet.

My reviews: When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought "OMG, this is going to be a good movie." I couldn't wait to watch it. So when I watched it, I wasn't exactly disappointed, I just thought it'll be different. I read reviews on it and it was a mixture of both good and bad. So I thought I'll watch it since the trailer was so good. It wasn't that this movie was awful, it wasn't that. It was that it was just okay. There are moments when you kind of just sit there and said "huh???". There are tons of actions and some funny parts. Overall this was just an okay movie. I give this movie a 3/5.

I'm thinking about watching "Dear John" and "Valentine's Day". I heard they were really good. I guess we'll see what happen.

Enjoy!

It's Already February!

I should update more often, but seems like lately I've been so busy. I've been working and just out of town for the last week. I guess, I've just been in my little own world. :) Ugh, I was telling my sisters that I should find another job. Seriously, I don't think I'll get my full time status anytime soon and I can't just keep waiting for that to happen. Both my sisters agree with me. One of them suggested that I go find a part time job, until I get my full time status. So I guess I'll just start looking for another job and see where that lead me. Anyhow, my boss called me to go in to work tomorrow, but since I'm back in Stockton, I don't want to drive back to Sacramento just to work 4 hours. It's not worth it. I'm working on Saturday and that's it for this month.

So in March, I'll be going down to SoCal for a mini getaway. It'll only be for the weekend, but it's so worth it. I need to get away. I can't wait. I'm really excited about going. I have to attend a birthday party and since it's also my brother girlfriend birthday we decided to take her with us. We'll be going to Sea World and that'll be fun. My other BFF is also down there, so I get to see her too. :) EXCITED!!

This summer, I was planning to go to the East Coast to visit my families over there, but right now, I'm debating about it. I told my bff that I'll be in Florida because I'm going to Disney World. She told me she'll meet me there and we can go together. So right now, I'm not sure what the plan is. I was just there in November, but I miss everyone there so much. Especially my little nephew Baby Sean. While I was there, he got super attach to my sister and myself. I mean really attach. When I told him that we were leaving, he started to cried. I feel so bad. He won't sleep so I told him he could sleep with me and so he did. When I got home, I received a voice message from him. Aww. He's the sweetest boy ever. Because of him, I really want to go. I guess, we'll see what happen.

So I've been chatting with a friend. I've known him since high school I believe. How we meet, I have no clue. lols!! We talked on and off for many years. But lately, we've been talking a lot. He's actually from Canada. We talked about the most random thing ever. I swear. He'll bbm like at the most random time of the day and night. We haven't talked lately because he's on a business trip and he's gone for five days. He's a work alcoholic. He's up until 230 in the morning working. I enjoy talking to him. It's nice talking to someone who can make you laugh.

Well I guess this is long enough. Night!

Oh yeah, HAPPY VALENTINE'S. I know I'm a day late, seems like I'm always a day late.
