Kopi Roti in Katipunan

One of the best way to spend a cold, rainy morning is to go someplace that will make you feel cozy. Alone. This time, I decided to cheer myself up with a freshly baked coffee bun and a soft boiled egg. Although there are a lot of bakeshops that offers coffee bun, Kopi Roti is my favorite. Their branch is Katipunan is one of the best tambayans especially if you just want to catch up with a friend. I just love the atmosphere there.

Kopi Roti is not just about Coffee bun, I also love their Kaya toast. Then there's the very tasty french toast, delectable milk and choco toast, tarik tea, and other cool beverages. 

So if you want to feel relaxed, unwind or read a good book with a nice meryenda or breakfast on the side, I definitely recommend this place.

Shutter Island (2010)

It is not the first time the Leo Di Caprio & Martin Scorcese collaborated in a film, there was "The gangs of New York" , "Aviator" and "The Departed". Shutter Island is a suspense-thriller based on a novel by Dennis Lehane (Known for his book Mystic River). This is a story os Leo is Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Federal Marshall sent to Shutter Island, a mental asylum/prison in the seas off Boston in 1954.

He, together with his partner Chuck were there to investigate the sudden disappearance of Rachel, who drowned her own three children then escaped from her cell mysteriously. "It's as if she evaporated straight to the walls," to quote a line from the movie, Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley), who is ready to assist them and also to prevent them from finding the truth.

I actually felt very disappointed with this film, A lot of people that I know are expecting so much from this film which is why I am not going to post any spoilers. From the trailer, it's as if I was fooled that it will be not a dragging movie. The truth is, it's no different from other "insane type" movies we've seen in the past. Whatever happened to Scorcese? This film is a major give away, unlike the other movies he have done which makes you fell hanging, thinking deep.

The only scenes that I love were the flashback scenes showing Teddy as a soldier in a prison camp during World War II . The long tracking sequence showing American soldiers shooting German prisoners of war is very-very Scorcese.

Nevertheless, their acting was good. I must say that I should have read the book first. My bad :)

Remember Me (2010)

I was tempted to watch this movie because I wanted to know how Robert Pattinson portrays a role without the vampire mask and frankly, I don't see any difference. No offense with the Edward Cullen fans out there.

Robert Pattinson (Tyler) portrays a rebellious son of Pierce Brosnan. They have this feud ever since his brother died. His father was a very successful businessman and Tyler wanted to prove to his father that he is worthy of his attention, not only his attention but also his younger sister who looks up to him. Another angle in this movie was that, it also focussed on teenage discrimination. His younger sister experienced being bullied by her classmates to the point where Tyler got imprisoned because he smashed the window of the school out of severe anger.

When he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) he never thought he would fall for her. There's too many complications in their life plus the fact that Ally's father dislike Tyler so much. This threaten to tear them apart but they fought through.

The thing is, I really don't like the ending. I was surprised with the ending..SPOILER!!! I never thought that this movie was created to commemorate the 9/11 bombing. So, of course Tyler died in the process but before that, he has shown what happiness, love and sacrifice was all about to his father, sister and his beloved Ally.

Trust me, I was also surprised that he has a love scene here. :)

Disturbing cups :))

7-Eleven hopes to highlight the Filipino’s Presidential options by making sure that all the Presidentiables—the top five, namely Manny Villar, Joseph Estrada, Richard Gordon, Noynoy Aquino, and Gilbert Teodoro alongside fellow candidates Jamby Madrigal, JC de Los Reyes, Nicanor Perlas, Eddie Villanueva, even the voter’s right to abstain, are represented. The idea is to engage the greater public in this national initiative anchored on the value of freedom of choice and underscore the importance of responsible voting.
