One Tree Hill's Plan

I just concluded watching One Tree Hill's 15th episode of its 5th season. This episode is better than its previous one. Again, as part of my routine, I am sharing to you this week's episode message. I want to share it to all of you because you can pick some lessons & learn from it. Generally, when the episode is about to conclude, one or two or three or sometimes all of the characters usually imparts their personal message to us, their viewers.

The message of this week's episode is:

"Sometimes when you're young, you think nothing can hurt you, its like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans... BIG PLANS! To find your perfect match, the one who completes you. But as you get older, you realize its not always that easy. It's not until the end of your life that you realize had the plans you made were simply plans. Because at the end, when you're looking back, instead of forward, you wanna believe that you made the most what life gave you. You wanna believe that you're leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered." - Lucas Scott

(2006) The Prestige

Last night, my brother and I watched The Prestige at his room. It is an old movie released way back 2006. The reason for writing a blog for this specific movie is because it is so good and highly recommended. I wonder why the ratings of this movie are not so great... hmmmmm??? The writer of the story deserves a two-thumbs up. The twist, the turns, the plot, the climax and the conclusion, everything in the story is superbly written. I would give a two-thumbs up for the main actors of this movie as well namely Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman.

Personally watching this movie is stressful (in a good way) and mind boggling because you are made to believe some facts but in the end it isn't. While watching and as the movie progresses and as it reaches its climax, I made several conclusions about certain events in the film but in the end those conclusions were nullified by the movie itself. This happened maybe five or six times during the play but still I am left dumbfounded as the movie progresses even more. You are led to believe what you want to believe but it isn't really what happened. Did I get that right now? HAHAHAHAHA I guess reading this blog has its twist and turns as well. If you are slightly intrigued by what I want to say, then I suggest grab a copy and watch it.

I would recommend this movie, I don't care if the ratings are low or if it is a flop. For me, it is worth watching!

According to the write-up in Wikipedia : (click for the direct link to The Prestige in Wikipedia)

The film is split into three storylines, each resembling one of the three stages of magic. First, there is the setup, or the "pledge," where the magician shows the audience something that appears ordinary but is probably not, making use of misdirection. Next is the performance, or the "turn," where the magician makes the ordinary act extraordinary. Lastly, there is the "prestige," where the effect of the illusion is produced. There are "twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance and you see something shocking you've never seen before."

Delmonte Fit 'n Right w/ L-Carnitine

Do you know that Delmonte Fit 'n Right juice drink has L-Carnitine that helps burns fat and improve metabolism in the body. Each bottle contains 300mg of L-Carnitine. It is proven that this chemical compound known as L-Carnitine does really work wonders.

In the print ad of Delmonte Fit 'n Right says that "Clinical study shows that regular physical activity, a balanced diet plus Delmonte Fit 'n Right can make you lose up to 16% body fat in 6 weeks."
It does not only help you lose and burn fat, it taste great too! So hurry and grab a bottle and experience it for yourself. I would recommend Four Seasons.

According to Wikipedia:

Carnitine, also known as L-carnitine or levocarnitine, is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It helps in the consumption and disposal of fat in the body because it is responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria. It is often sold as a nutritional supplement. Carnitine was originally found as a growth factor for mealworms and labeled vitamin Bt. Natural carnitine is the L-stereoisomer.

Macaroni Cheese by San Remo... YUM!!!

I went to SM Supermarket at SM City Sta. Mesa this morning to do some groceries for the house and for my office. The usual routine, bought all that is included in the list. I have my own style in doing my groceries, I learned this from mom. I don't just go to the aisle where the things that I will be is located or go anywhere and pick up anything like an ant who's hill was destroyed, I go from aisle to aisle to aisle in a very systematic way, hahahahaha seriously. It usually takes me 2 hours just to do the groceries for the house. I also check the prices of the brand that we usually buy against another alternative, if it is cheaper and still fulfills its role, then I'd go for the alternative. It is not always necessary to stick to the brand that you used to when you are in a tighter budget. Before is not the same as now....

Anywayssssss.....

Upon walking at the aisle that houses all the different pastas, being an avid pasta lover, I noticed one packaging that interests me a lot, it's San Remo's Macaroni Cheese. I immediately took a pack and placed it in the push cart. Cheese macaroni here in the Philippines is not as popular compared in the United States, and this is the first time that I saw a famous brand that makes pastas now have this special Pasta & Sauce Combination. I am so excited to taste this new and interesting product. I cooked it at home, followed the instructions at the back of the packaging. I am wishing that it taste as good as the Kraft Cheese Macaroni. I placed bacon on top as well to add flavour and meat on my pasta. On my first bite, WOW.... it is not only as good as Kraft's Cheese Macaroni, it is 100 times better. It is so delicious that I finished the whole plate in 10 mins. I would recommend this product to everyone. It is really really really delicious, mouth-watering and very very tasty. I just hope SM Supermarket wont ran out of stocks... HAHAHAHA!!!

Here 's the picture:

ITS SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!! Highly Recommended!!!

One Tree Hill's Path

I recently watched One Tree Hill's 14th Episode of its 5th Season. I'm fair so personally, I think this is the dullest episode so far. I find it dry and a bit boring. But nonetheless, Dan Scott left a special message for us to ponder.

"Its been said that the saddest thing that a man will ever face is what might have been. But what if the man who's faced with what was or what may never be or what can no longer be. Choosing the right path is never easy, its a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find our way to something better. Sometimes we fight thru the regret and remorse of our mistakes, our malice and our jealousy and the shame we felt for not being the people that we are meant to be. And that's where we find our way to something better or when something better finds its way to us."

Oh by the way, Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer) is soooooooooo HOT!!!! =)
