KUng Fu Panda - Reviews

June 16th, 2008 by maanne1127

"Kung Fu Panda" is a story that almost tells itself in its title. It is so hard to imagine a big, fuzzy panda performing martial-arts encounters that you intuit (and you will be right) that the panda stars in an against-all-odds formula, which dooms him to succeed. For the panda’s target audience, children and younger teens, that will be just fine, and the film presents his adventures in wonderfully drawn Cinemascope animation. — By Roger Ebert

KUNG FU PANDA is beautifully animated, the celebrity voice performances are terrific, and the action sequences negotiate the fine line between being physically convincing and becoming too intense for the young children who are the film’s primary audience. And it’s blessedly free of cheap pop-culture gags – if only someone had resisted the urge to recycle Carl Douglas’ 1974 novelty hit “Kung Fu Fighting” for the umpteenth time. –Maitland McDonagh

Beyond the movie ratings: What Parents need to know about Kung Fu Panda

Although this film contains only mild name-calling and some brief rude humor, it is jam packed with depictions of martial arts action. The animated animals kick, punch and tumble their way through one encounter after another. Characters are also choked, burned, hit with spikes and pushed down a flight of stairs. Soldiers use weapons such as swords, chains and arrows. One character is stuck with needles during an acupuncture session. Fireworks and other explosions involving characters are portrayed. — Kerry Bennett

its been a while…

August 13th, 2007 by maanne1127

its been a while since i wrote in my blog, and as i remember correctly, the things that i wrote before, is all hurtaches and whatever, but this its different..\

see, this is what going on in my life, im still working and hopefully in 3 months i could get my regularization (can you cross finger with me so, it would happen) anyway, ya, everythings good in the office, i have met lot of friends and companions, i have met a lot of people that i have learn many things and i also learn something about myself and what my capabilities are.. and plus to that is i have met my boyfriend there!!, eheh :)

let’s talk about evrything that ive just mentioned, one by one,..  hmmmmmmmmmmmm… let’s start with, my regularization,..

here’s the deal, in the office, there’s the contractual stage for six months!, which i have graduated (whew~! thank god i have passed that.) and then probationary stage, which i am in now, another six months, so, i just have to wait for 3 mnths before i could get my judgement, so right now, im excited but nervous at the same time but, well see, ill give u updates on what will happen..

next, people at the office, there are a lot of different personalities that i have to deal with in the office, personalities that are really testing my personality as well.. but i think i did handle them pretty well, (although there was one time that i lost control and i cracked like a bomb that’s been waiting to explode..) but i must say i have found new friends in that place and i love the company that they are giving me, but as they say friends come and go and yah, there are some of them who went to find what really would satisfy them but im happy for them that finally they got what they wanted.

there were few people in the office that really touches me, first, there’s sir allan, he is our team leader (the best TL ever!) and also one of the nicest guy or gay (ehehe:)-) that i have ever met, he showed fairness in what he does and he’s real.. everything is genuine with him.. i love the way he heandle things in the office.

Then, our PO, mam ivy and sir vince, oh, what a cute couple, even under pressure, they still manage to laugh it out and even though were kinda afraid of them,(here’s a fact evrytime, i see mam ivy walking towards our area, i was like sitting properly and wait for her instructions and listen to it without taking a single breath, and then when she left, we were like WHEW! its a relief.., hehe,, peace mam!!). but i really admire them because of the care they have for their people., they are really an awesome pair..

And of course there are my officemates whom i share most of my days with, there’s sir rhiqz, whom i could share laughs with, and ms mitch, who have a lot of stories when she arrives and then vicky, heheh, my SHIFT mate, whom never fails to make me laugh. and then jeff, my DIET mate, we love food but unfortanely we have to take leaa of it, and then, there’s mam gladish, mam aubrey, and ms shy, (they were cool) and then anok, heheh  ( you look good in those messy polo that you had wear..) and all other qa staff of LWW. 

I ahve also met different people in other departments, (the production dept of LWW, EHEHE), there’s meloi, jaja and joan, my batchmates.. and peter, man, he or she was awesome.. ehehe,, elmar, mam abie., mam let, sir ruel, mam joan, mam tin, Sir’s aaron, joseph, ardie and mike.. oh, and also, ms kat and ms ira.. they were all nice to me..

i also said thet i have met someone in the office.. yah, i met my special someone there, his name is WELLMAN, and he’s and angel.. he’s really nice and carrying and understanding and thoughtful and loving and very sweet.. and he loves me and he shows that to me in every way he can and he treats me like a princess and never wanna see me cry and he’s very easy to talk to. i really thank god that i have him…\

well, i guess that;s it for now.. till next time…

Too Little, Too Late

January 29th, 2007 by maanne1127


Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but boy it don’t feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it’s just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you’ve changed
But boy you know your begging don’t fool me
Because to you it’s just a game (You know it’s just too little too late)


S
o let me go now
‘Cause time has made me strong
I’m starting to move on
I’m gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know…

It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too
late)

You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You just like the chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway
(You know it’s just too little too late)

Yeah yeaaahhh… It’s just too little too late… Mhmmm

I was young
And in love

I gave you everything
But it wasn’t enough

And now you wanna communicate (You know it’s just too little too late)
Go find someone else
And letting you go
I’m loving myself

You got a problem
But don’t come asking me for help
‘Cause you know…

It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too
late)

You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You just like the chase
So be real


It doesn’t matter anyway
(You know it’s just too little too late)

I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)

With a player like you I don’t have a prayer
That’s the way to live

Ohhhh… mmm nooo
It’s just too little too late
Yeaahhhh…

It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too
late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You just like the chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway (You know it’s just too little too late)

You know it’s just too little too late [2x]

It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too
late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You just like the chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway (You know it’s just too little too late)

3 words

July 30th, 2006 by maanne1127

Only 3 Words!!!

There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships. Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words. When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that have soured.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.
1. Let me help

Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.
2.  I understand you

People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many  little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.
3.  I respect you
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal.  If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends.  This applies to all interpersonal relationships.
4.  I miss you
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I miss you."  This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.  Consider how important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5.  Maybe you’re right
This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument.  The implication when you say "maybe you’re right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I’m wrong".  Let’s face it.  When you have an argument with someone, all you normally do is solidify the other person’s point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you.  Saying "maybe you’re right" can open the door to explore the subject more.  You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person. 

6. Please forgive me

Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

7.   I thank you

Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don’t take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

8.  Count on me

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship.  It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."

9.   I’ll be there

If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I’ll be there." Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us.  We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

10.  Go for it

We are all unique individuals. Don’t try to get your friends to conform to your ideals.  Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you.  God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams.  Tell them to "go for it."

BONUS

11.  I love you

Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person’s deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: "I love you."  Love is a choice.  You can love even when the feeling is gone.
