I just finished this game recently and it was so addicting!

In this game you play the role of Denise, a first time office manager assigned to manage a team of zany co-workers.

This is not your ordinary Diner Dash type of game where you wait tables, make customers happy, reach your daily quota and that's it! This is better. Way better!

Why? Because...
  • You get 30 episodes that keeps getting better and challenging every step of the way
  • There are two or more official goals you have to accomplish aside from finishing the daily workload that comes your way
  • You help your co-workers manage their time between their work and their so-called "office habits" that is also vital in their happiness.
  • Sometimes the levels get a little bit crazy because there are a lot of things you should do but you also have to keep your officemate's "stress levels" from going up... because if that happens, the game is over! haha! This happened to me a lot of times at the last 5 episodes...
  • Each episode has a story...And not just a story, the game makers adopted real office stories that usually happens, including office politics
  • The makers adopted crazy characters that you get to meet in your real office life every day 
I think this is the best strategy game I've ever played!

It's High School Musical 2 Day!!

All my posts are about the most anticipated sequel to last year's #1 teen movie, High School Musical.

I've got  only one word to describe this film F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!

--Cool new music, I love the new songs..but Kyle was worried at first if he would be able to memorize those...But after 2 runs of the film, he's already singing "Bet On It"..hehehe...

--Same cool original cast, only that they've grown..

--New moves and grooves that'll surely be a hit...

--and oh yeah, the movie is about 1 hour and 45 minutes..I hope they show the bloopers too when it's aired..it's so cute!

I'm a big fan of Disney movies and I agree that this is one of the best musical films Disney has ever produced.

So, don't forget to watch HSM2 on September 9. Bring out the popcorn and watch it with the whole family...Kids will surely enjoy it... (uy, may plugging? hahaha!!)

Trivia:
  • The US working title of the film is "High School Musical 2: Sing It All or Nothing"
  • A third High School Musical movie, with the working title of High School Musical 3 at the MTV Movie Awards.  (-Source: imdb.com) has been announced for debut in movie theaters 2008. The original "Haunted High School Musical" idea was replaced according to Ashley Tisdale

**Just a 411, High School Musical 2 premieres in the U.S. August 17, and September 9 here in the Philippines. I got the movie from Disney Channel on Demand where the movie was shown 10 days earlier than the original playdate...
What can I do? I was so excited to see it!

If you loved, Diner Dash, you'll definitely gonna get hooked with this spin off from Diamond Games.

I was addicted to this game since last week. Actually, I've finished all 50 levels, in which 70% of those I got expert scores.



Wedding Dash is very similar to Diner Dash, but in this game you are Quinn, a wedding planner. Help Quinn make wedding bells ring! Assist couples in selecting all the details - from tasty cakes to gorgeous flowers - but once they've tied the knot, look out for obstacles preventing the perfect party, such as tipsy guests, falling cakes, and catty bridesmaids. Can you keep the bride and groom happy and Quinn's business afloat?

If you're lucky, you're going to see Flo in action with Quinn too.

I'm planning to share the game here but I don't know if it's allowed. Anyway, for my contacts, I might share it for a limited time... Say 3 days? Just visit my blog site & check it out there.

For the trial, you may visit the Diamond Games website for the installer.

A hilarious movie with lots of moral lessons...Love for the family, love for the environment and of course, selflessness...

A big applause!!

I've been a big fan of the Simpsons ever since, and now after the movie, I'm a fan of Spider Pig..hahaha! Just when I thought it couldn't get funnier... (Spider Pig, Spider Pig...lolz!)

I think this is the kind of funny movie that you can watch for the second time, and still keep you laughing until your stomach hurts...

Well, after reading, I give my review to the most anticipated book of the year...

Don't worry, I will keep myself from giving spoilers.

The Best!Smilies
--A lot of action from the start pa lang..
--So much drama, made me cry a lot, this was the first book that made me cry since "The Half Blood Prince"
--Revelations that made me say a lot of "Aww's.." and "Oohh's"
--and kilig moments, syempre binata na si Harry!

It was like watching another HP movie all over again.Smilies
I must give a hand to JK Rowling for that wonderful finale.SmiliesSmilies

Two thumbs-up!!

This is the first Harry Potter film that I wasn't disappointed to see after reading the book. I think it has captured, well, 'almost' all the highlights in the novel, like the attack of the dementors on Dudley, the trial at the Ministry and even the Weasley Twins' dramatic & memorable exit from Hogwarts as they quit school.Smilies

What amazed me also was Dumbledore & Lord Voldemort's fight scene...Astig! (parang Dragonball-Z in the flesh..woot! woot!)Smilies

The previous films kasi, (starting with The Prisoner of Azkaban coz that was the time I started reading the book). I was kinda disappointed because a lot of the parts and highlights were cut to fit 2 hours or less… but this one, wala akong na-miss or hinanap...there are some maybe, but very trivial and a reader wouldn't notice.

One thing I miss though about Harry Potter movies were Harry's traditional heart to heart talks with his headmaster, Albus Dumbledore at the end of each film.  Well, that's ever since Richard Harris died (the original Dumbledore in the 1st two HP films) and was replaced by Michael Gambon. Personally I think the former was more fit for the role than the latter. That’s because I think mas fatherly (or grandfatherly) ang dating ni Richard Harris and Michael Gambon’s kinda cold. Actually everytime I read Harry Potter books, sya yung naiisip ko na character ni Dumbledore sa story…Well, let’s just see sa 'Half Blood Prince' (the 6th sequel) if he can work out with that ‘fatherly’ character because we would be seeing more of him and Harry interacting in that movie.

Excited na agad sa Harry Potter 6!!

Two thumbs-up to this film by Michael Bay.

This movie totally ROCKS!!!
I can't remember the last time I was amazed at the first 5 minutes of a film pa lang.
Talagang "wow" na lang ang nasabi ko, hindi na ako nakakain.
It has a nice plot, plus action-packed scenes, subtle humor & not to mention jaw-dropping special effects. Astig talaga!



Trivia:
This movie won the "Best Summer Movie You Haven't Seen Yet" Award in the MTV Movie Awards held last June 3 held in Universal City, Los Angeles, CA.
Other nominees for the said category were: Harry Potter 5, Fantastic Four 2, Rush Hour 3 & Evan Almighty.

I believe that everyone is a child at heart. Kyle loved it and so did I.
I'm gonna give a 5-star rating to this wonderful collection of 75 timeless Walt Disney Classic Music. I love Disney movies so much! Come on, who doesn't?

I don't know if it's still available in the market. If it is, I think you should grab a copy.
It really is, "The Best Disney Album" in the world...ever!

I think I'll upload some of my favorite songs from the album one day.
