Manic Movie Musical Monday: More to Life than Me

Peace✌ to Paris

Trivial problems in our own lives don’t compare to world issues such as this traumatic terrorist act.

Therefore, tuning into Ryan Higa‘s First World Problems puts our own woes into a fresh perspective:

Original (2012) — *NEW* iPhone 5 

More Recent (2014) — NON-iPhone 5 compatible

Speaking of terrorist acts, we also live in a time when natural disasters draw our attention to devastating death tolls from either, leaving us with uncertain times.

San Andreas shows us the measures that we may take by human nature to save our ♥loved♥ ones and survive.

Another Action-Packed Adventurous San Andreas Trailer

This was an excellent flick pick for Movie Night at home with the fam ~ especially since it showcased family!

I certainly needed some down time (even bypassing party and Fight Night invites) after my faculty defense!

With the HOLYdays around the corner plus after a productive day of grading speeches and practicing my own presentation …

Manny Monday: Fight, 4th, Cinco, Nurses & Moms

Happy May the 4th be with You!

Monday’s multiple feature is about May days …

• First, I traveled to SA for school and to meet with my esés for the game and fight*

Pinoy Pride ✌

*My remarks about Manny:

• He has way more going on in his life than just being a fighter:

1. He lives by his faith
2. He is a hero to his family and my native country due to

• his generosity from his earnings and
• his political career

… while Fighter is the only identity that Floyd Mayweather has achieved:

1. Professionally, obviously
2. Personally ~ considering his history of violence

This self-proclaimed $Money$ was in it for

• The title and to remain undefeated
• $elfishly keeping his winnings

 

• Before and after my trip back home, I had to celebrate May the Fourth be with You
