Movie Review: Mr. Popper's Penguins

Mr. Popper's Penguins by Jim Carrey.


Facts about penguins:
1.) Certain breeds will spend their whole lives looking for their one mate and once they find them they will never stray even after their mate dies they will spend the rest of their life alone... isn't that sad but sweet.
2.) Penguins search for a special stone all their life and will only give it to their mate. 
3.) Penguins have no natural fear of humans.



Penguins are a good model of example of TRUE, HONEST and FAITHFUL LOVE. How ironic that those animals are able to do it but humans can't. This family movie moved me by heart while watching Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) wave his career aside to take care of those penguins like his own.

Another thing that touched me is how he made his wife and family whole again through the penguins. It is a good family movie, not as funny and catchy as Ace Ventura and the Truman Show, but sure is a nice movie to watch for. 

New Follower!

Ordinary day.

Checked my blog and tada! 3 followers on my dashboard! I hurriedly checked who's the new guy (hoping someone I don't know) but surprisingly, it's my student Jamaica.

I didn't know that she has a blog too.

I guess, I have more reasons to write now.

Thanks Jam. :)

Confrontation

Why fear confrontation?
Why pretend?
Why avoid solutions?
Why do we seal our lips to speak?

It's a puzzle for me and I wonder.
Why people choose to be silent instead of talking things out.
Why not ask, "Is there any wrong?"
Does humanity lost the sense of being "concern"?

Why fear of hearing what other people think of you?
Are we afraid of being hurt or accept criticism?
Then what will happen to "improvement"?
Will there be an opportunity to "change"?

My shout is heard but I doubt if they understand.  
Silence is what I get and if not, a topic far from what I require.
I fear of being one with the people who do not dare to ask.
Am I the last one to say, "what's going on?"

A June Beginning

June 13 and the battle is on! A new semester awaits and for sure, I'll have to bid goodbye to my late vacation routines and take my battle suit again for another 6 months.

I really hope I'll pass Project Planning. I can't believe that I'm actually taking one of the worst subjects in our MIT curriculum this fast! I'm worried because I do not know if I can make (due to my draining schedule) it and I fear of failing, but I have faith in everything so... the heck! :)


My husband is having a difficult time in Thailand but I'm glad he's pulling himself up. Like me, he doesn't quit easily and by that, I always look up to his strength and will power to go on.

My cousin (the dentist) is  now engaged to his long time girlfriend and I'm excited to see them do their wedding vows at church since I didn't have the chance. I wish them lots of love! I know, they'll make a good family.
