Tangled Movie Trailer


Forever grounded in the tower by her mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) spends her everyday life with her chameleon pet Pascal. Accidentally meeting the handsome bandit, Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi), the most wanted criminal in the kingdom, will help Rapunzel pursue her ultimate dream, to get out in the tower and see the floating lanterns in person. As soon as she stepped out of the tower, the fun-spirited teen princess will discover a land  where people are really loving and caring and will not take advantage of her hairs' magical healing power.

A hilarious movie with a  full twist. It will make you laugh and cry. Unlike the original version of Rapunzel, Tangled which was released by Disney, is a very funny and adventurous movie. You can see how the characters are changed. Rapunzel's  70 feet hair is very magical which turns into brown and loses its power when cut, her love interest is not a prince but the  most wanted criminal in the land, she is a princess here not like the original story which she is just a daughter of an ordinary family. There are no witches in the story, only an old lady with the desire to stay young forever. I love how Mandy played with her voice. She sings very well and her voice is very touching. The settings in the story are very creatively designed.

Extraordinary Benefits from Extraordinary Fruits

We love to eat fruits. Bananas, apples, mangoes, etc. They are always available in the market. Fruits are part of our daily meal. It's either a part of your special diet or just an ordinary dessert. But do we know about their health benefits or what miracle they can do to our human body? Here are some fruits that can positively affect our body.


1. Banana - Banana is fruit that you can see everywhere. You can see it every season of the year. Banana contains glucose, fructose, sucrose, and fiber components that slightly prolonged source of energy. Banana also reduce depression. It contains tryptophan, an amino acid that converts into serotonin that leads to improved mood. Bananas also contains fiber which help restore a normal bowel function. Eating banana can soothe antacid effect (heartburn) on the body. B6, B12, potassium and magnesium helps the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal that can cause a person to quit smoking.


2.  Orange - Orange is rich in Vitamin C which protects our body against harmful element. Drinking orange juice makes an alcoholic person reduce his desire for liquor. Orange contains beta-carotene which protects cells from being damage and calcium for the protection of our bones and teeth. It also contains thiamin which converts food into energy. Orange is beneficial in asthma, kidney stone, bronchitis, high blood pressure and lower cholesterol level.


3. Apple -  "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Some research shows that apples may reduce the risk of prostate, colon, and lung cancer. Unlike other fruits, apple is very low in Vitamin C, but is a rich source of antioxidants.  Its fiber content regulates bowel movement. But apple seeds are mildly poisonous. Apple seeds contains a small amount of amygdalin, although not enough to be dangerous to man but can deter birds.


4. Grapes - Grapes has a therapeutic value that can be used to cure asthma. It increases the nitric oxide levels which prevent blood clots thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks. Pure grape juice (without mixing additional water) is an important home remedy for migraine. It also helps in constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia), and kidney disorders. Grapes contains Resveratrol which reduces the levels of amyloidal-beta peptides in patient with Alzheimer's disease. It can also prevent macular degeneration and cataract. 


5. Watermelon - Considered as a summer fruit. Most powerful antioxidants are found in watermelon. Because of its water content, it reduces the risk of dehydration. Don't think that only tomatoes have lycopene because it can also be found in watermelons which travel throughout the body neutralizing free radicals. Lycopene which gives watermelon its red color can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.  Watermelon is fat-free food but helps in energy production.

When To Feel That Your Boyfriend Is Cheating

Being in love is the best feeling anyone can feel. Love can  give many things in our lives. It can give happiness, hope, peace, and many other positive things. But love can also give you pain, suffering, hopelessness, and many other negative things.
But how do you know when is the time to feel that your boyfriend is cheating on you? Here some tips based on my friend's experience :). It's time to feel it when:
1. He doesn't let you borrow his cellphone - - One thing is for sure, he hides something from you. Maybe a sweet message from other girls or maybe a picture of them.

2. He has a lot girls in the past.  - - You are a very lucky girl if you can change your boyfriend's attitude towards flirting on other girls. But if you can still hear his friends cracking jokes  about some girls name, THINK! A lot of guys won't/can't share their friends' dirty secret with you so their way is to say it on a joke. Remember, jokes are always half meant. ;)
     
3. He is not texting you. - - Never believe in guys saying "My phone is low bat" , "I got no load to text you" or "I'm so busy". THE HELL! Never ever believe those lines. If a guy truly love and cares for you, he will find a way to communicate with no matter how busy he is.

4. He limits your time together. - - When he tells you that he can only be with you for only two hours today, ask why. Do his boss needs him? Are his parents sick? Or do he have a basketball practice? If you answered no to these questions, somethings going on. Remember this, a man who really loves you misses you and if he misses you, he can give up anything just to see you.

Those are just few examples. If you feel that he's cheating on you, confront him. Ask him what he really want. Maybe he doesn't want to break up with you because he wants you to be the one to end things up. Or maybe he's a born asshole. Its time to end things up. And when you got the chance to leave, never go back. History repeats itself.

Just Go With It Movie Trailer



I saw the movie poster of Adam Sandler's new movie, Just Go With It, at the backside of the bus early morning. It really caught my attention because I super duper love Adam and I like staring at Jennifer's pretty face. Since it is not yet out in the (Philippine) cinemas I said to myself that I'm gonna have to watch it first before blogging it. But I really got excited so I googled the movie trailer.

Plastic surgeon Danny (Adam Sandler), is making up stories about his marriage to get girls with no strings attached. Until he met a young school teacher who caught his heart. All his lies comes back to him forcing his loyal assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to be his fake ex-wife. Things becomes more complicated when everyone heads to Hawaii for a vacation.


Just Go With It is a movie released in 2011 by Columbia Pictures and directed by Dennis Duggan (The Benchwarmers, 2006; You don't mess with the Zohan ,2008). Produced by Adam Sandler, Jack Giarraputo and Heather Parry).

Gulliver's Travels


"It's how big you are on the inside that counts"

Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) is a lowly mailroom man at a New York Newspaper in Manhattan. Because of his admiration to Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet), Gulliver will discover whats beneath the Bermuda Triangle, the undiscovered land, Lilliput. In this amazing small world, Gulliver is the biggest not just by size but of ego. He took credit of all greatest invention and included his self in historical events. He became a hero when he defeated Lilliput's longtime enemies and the Lilliputians were so amazed of what he did. But things changed when the small people discovered all his lies and who he really is and got sent to the world "no one dare go".

Gulliver's Travels is an old fantasy novel written by Jonathan Swift in 1726 (amended in 1735). The movie was directed by Rob Lettermen (the director of Academy Award nominated "Shark Tale") and produced by Jack Black.

I am so amazed with what Jack Black did in this movie. He doesn't need the looks because he got the talents. This movie made me laugh until the very end. The scenes were really funny especially when Gulliver teaches Horatio (Jason Segel) to court Princess of Lilliput (Emily Blunt) the daughter of the King Theodore (Billy Conolly).

I highly recommend this movie because it teaches every viewer to believe in their self and to believe in what they can do.
