ANOTHER REVIEW: GOING IN STYLE

IF YOU CAME HERE FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN YOU CAME TO THE WRONG PLACE... IF YOU CAME HERE FOR A REVIEW THEN YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. THIS WEEKS REVIEW IS OF GOING IN STYLE. SPOILERS AHEAD. THE MOVIE STARS BIG NAMES OF MICHAEL CAINE, MORGAN FREEMAN, AND ALAN ARKIN. CHRISTOPHER LLOYD AND MATT DILLON MAKES AN APPEARANCE BUT THEY HAD SMALLER ROLES. OH AND THIS GIRL JOEY KING THAT REMINDS ME OF ALEXIS BLEDEL... WELL A YOUNGER HALF HER AGE VERSION. I SEE THE RESEMBLANCE, I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU PEOPLE... THE GF ALSO DIDNT SEE IT... BACK TO THE MOVIE. BASICALLY THE 3 OLD GUYS GET SCREWED OUT OF THEIR PENSION BY THE COMPANY THEY WORKED FOR. THEY BROKE AND THEY NEED MONEY SO THEY DECIDE TO ROB A BANK. THE REST OF THE MOVIE IS ABOUT THEM TRYING TO PULL IT OFF. I LIKED THE MOVIE. IT WAS FUNNY AND HAD MORE OF AN OLDER FEEL... PROBABLY BECAUSE ALL THE MAIN ACTORS WERE LIKE 80 YEARS OLD LOL. THE REALLY FUNNY THING IS THAT THE THEATER WAS DECENTLY FULL, AND THE AUDIENCE WAS EITHER REALLY OLD OR AROUND MY AGE... THERE WASNT ANY OTHER AGE GROUPS THERE HAHAHA. THE OLD PEOPLE WERE PROBABLY FANS OF THE MAIN ACTORS AND THE REST OF US JUST WANTED TO WATCH SOMETHING CHILL AND CAUSE OF THE MAIN ACTORS. IM SURE THEY ALL PLAYED UP THE OLD CARD. CHRISTOPHER LLOYD WAS OVER THE TOP BUT HE CAN PULL IT OFF BEING FUNNY LIKE THAT. SO LONG STORY SHORT THEY GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE OF A LITTLE GIRL. NOW MY QUESTION IS THAT IF YOUR THE PARENT OF THE KID, WOULD YOU WANT YOUR KID TO LIE AND HELP THE OLD MEN GET AWAY OR TELL THE TRUTH AND GET THEM ARRESTED? THE KIDS SMART, AND OF COURSE ITS FOR THE MOVIE HAHA. THEIR ALIBIS WERE FUNNY AND YOU WOULD MOST DEF NEED A SOLID ALIBI IF YOU GOING TO ROB A BANK. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I COULD ROB A BANK AND GET AWAY WITH IT. THE BANK PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT TO NOT FIGHT BACK AND TO JUST GIVE THEM WHAT THE ROBBERS WANT. THE MONEY IS INSURED SO THE BANK DOESNT LOSE ANYTHING, WHO CARES ABOUT THEM. THERES A BANK NEAR MY PLACE THAT USE TO GET ROBBED EVERY COUPLE OF TIMES. I SWEAR THIS ONE TIME IT GOT HIT TWICE IN LIKE A MONTH HAHA. NOT ANYMORE... LOTS MORE SECURITY AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET AWAY QUICK. NOT BUSY ENOUGH TO JUST BLEND. I WOULD NEED TO GO TO A SMALLER TOWN OR SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO IT HAHA. OH SO BACK TO THE MOVIE. THE ORIGINAL ROBBER WAS TIED BACK IN TO THE STORY AND I TOTALLY DIDNT SEE THAT, SO IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE. BUT THAT TATTOO MOVE IS TOTALLY BRILLIANT. I WOULD GIVE THIS A 7.55/10. I LIKED IT AND THE GF LIKED IT. I MEAN ITS A BIT DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL AND THATS WHAT STANDS OUT. THE REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE IS GENERALLY PLEASANT, IN THAT ITS A GOOD CAST THAT GELLED RIGHT AND THE MOVIE WORKED.

LETS SEE WHAT I DID THE PAST WEEK... WENT TO A STRESS SEMINAR. THAT WAS INTERESTING. I SORTA DO ALMOST ALL THE THINGS THE GUY WAS TEACHING BUT IT WAS STILL NICE TO SEE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. WENT TO TACOFINO :) WOOO TACOS ANDDDDDDDDDDD I ATE TOO MUCH AS USUAL. OH AND I HAD A FEW MORE TACOS EARLIER IN THE WEEK AS WELL. NOT MUCH THIS WEEK JUST BEEN DOING THINGS HERE AND THERE. WAIT... DID I TELL YOU ALL THAT THE PLAN IS IN MOTION??? THAT I HAVE BEGUN??? THE PLAN IS UNDERWAY AND I HAVE ALREADY STARTED. IT IS A SLOW START RIGHT NOW BUT THATS NORMAL. SLOW AND STEADY RIGHT... HAHA. REST OF THIS WEEK? WELL ITS EASTER BREAK SO I GOT A FEW DAYS OFF. MY UNCLE IS VISITING FROM HK SO GOING TO HANG OUT AND CATCH UP. ALSO HOPEFULLY GET SOME OF MY OWN THINGS DONE. ANDDDDD GET SOME TV TIME IN OF COURSE HAHA. WELL I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY A WONDERFUL EASTER AND SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

SHORT AND SWEET

WELL... NO REAL TOPIC, NOT MUCH TO UPDATE, TIRED AND LAZY... SO THIS WILL BE ONE OF THOSE WEEKS WHERE THE POST IS REALLY LACKING MUCH SUBSTANCE LOL. ACTUALLY A BIG THING IS ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS GOT ENGAGED. WE WERE ALL PRESENT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT WAS PRETTY COOL. MAKES THE REST OF US REALLY THINK THOUGH... WE ALL GETTING OLDER AND AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE GOING... I HAVE OTHER FRIENDS WHO ARE MARRIED ALREADY AND SOME OF THEM EVEN HAVE KIDS, AND ITS JUST SO WEIRD THAT THIS IS WHAT IM THINKING ABOUT THESE DAYS... THE DAYS OF PLAYING GAMES AND JUST HAVING FUN ARE OVER... GOTTA START THINKING ABOUT DIAPERS AND MORTGAGES... I REALLY CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS LIFE NOW... WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT... GOTTA BE A GROWN UP NOW... TRYING TO LOOK DOWN THE ROAD TO SEE WHATS NEXT AND I REALLY DONT KNOW... REALLY JUST DOING WHATEVER I CAN TO JUST MAKE IT TO THE NEXT STAGE. IVE SAID ALL THIS STUFF BEFORE BUT IT HITS YOU MORE WHEN THINGS HAPPEN AND THEN YOU START THINKING MORE ABOUT IT AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOURE STRESSING ABOUT IT... THEN YOU START STRESSING ABOUT STRESSING AND IT WILL JUST CONTINUE AS A VICIOUS CYCLE... UNTIL THAT DAY WHERE IT BUILDS UP SO MUCH THAT YOU JUST CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE AND YOU JUST BLOW... YOU REALLY JUST NEED TO RELAX, YOU CANT LET THINGS GET TO YOU, AND WHEN IT DOES THE RESULT IS NEVER PRETTY. JUST DO WHAT YOU NEED TO, TO KEEP YOURSELF HAPPY. REMEMBER... IN THE ENDS ITS ALWAYS ABOUT YOU :)

Q&A ABOUT SCHOOL AND WORK LIFE

WELL HERES AN INTERESTING POST IF I MUST SAY SO MYSELF :) I DIDNT HAVE A TOPIC TODAY AND I ASKED A FRIEND IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME A TOPIC TO WRITE ON. THEY GAVE ME 4... THE ISSUE IS I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT ALL OF THEM ALL AT ONCE BUT ITS GOING TO BE A LONG BLOG SO I THOUGHT ABOUT BREAKING IT UP... THATS TOO MUCH WORK AS WELL... SO HERES ALL OF THEM AFTER ALL :) LOL

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT EDUCATION?

IN MY HONEST OPINION, EDUCATION DOESNT REALLY MEAN MUCH. PERSONALLY I SLACKED THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, I GOT A'S B'S C'S. UNIVERSITY I WAS SORTA BORED AND WASNT REALLY SURE WHERE I WAS GOING IN LIFE, JUST LIKE ALL KIDS AT THAT AGE WHEN YOURE IN SCHOOL. IN THE END OF ALL OF THIS, I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL, BCIT, SFU, AND UBC. I ENDED UP WITH A PIECE OF PAPER FROM ALL THE MAJOR SCHOOLS AROUND AND ITS ALL IN DIFFERENT THINGS. EDUCATION THESE DAYS IS LIKE THE STANDARD. IT USE TO BE WHERE ONLY THE SELECT FEW WHO ARE SMART ENOUGH CAN GET INTO UNIVERSITY, AND ONCE YOU GRADUATED THERE ARE JOBS LINED UP FOR YOU. UNLIKE THESE DAYS WHERE YOU ARE ALMOST EXPECTED TO HAVE A BACHELOR'S IN SOMETHING. PEOPLE THESE DAYS EVEN HAVE MASTERS!!! ITS COME TO A POINT WHERE HAVING EDUCATION WILL HELP BUT THAT ONLY GETS YOU THROUGH THE DOOR. A LOT OF PLACES DOESNT EVEN BOTHER WITH EDUCATION ANY MORE AND EXPERIENCE IS WHAT COUNTS. SCHOOLING REALLY OPENED UP MY EYES TO SEE WHAT ITS LIKE, AND ITS A GOOD EXPERIENCE TO HAVE, AND IT IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT FOR EVERYONE. ITS QUITE FUNNY ACTUALLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE A LOT OF THE TIME WHAT YOU STUDY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOURE DOING. JUST LIKE ME RIGHT NOW, WHAT I STUDIED DOESNT REALLY RELATE TO WHAT I AM DOING AND ITS JUST THAT. JUST REMEMBER THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY AND ONE PLACE TO GET AN EDUCATION, AND IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE IN A BOOK IN CLASSROOM.

WHAT DO I MISS ABOUT BEING A STUDENT?

NOTHING!!! LOL THATS BASICALLY WHAT I MISS!!! NOTHING!!! SCHOOLS LIKE WORK. YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY, GET READY, GET TO SCHOOL, AND SIT THERE ALL DAY. WOULD I DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN? NO. UP UNTIL VERY RECENTLY I WAS STILL ACTUALLY A STUDENT AND THE ONLY THING THAT I MIGHT MISS IS ACTUALLY MEETING NEW PEOPLE. KNOWING ME IL END BACK UP IN SCHOOL TO LEARN SOMETHING ELSE VERY SHORTLY LOL.

THERES PROBABLY MORE BUT IM TOO TIRED AND SLEEPY RIGHT NOW TO RECALL. 

HONESTLY I AM LUCKY TO HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO FIND A JOB THAT I LIKE AND ENJOY :) I HAD TO GO THROUGH MANY JOBS THAT WERE... INTERESTING... BEFORE I FINALLY FOUND THIS GEM. A LOT OF THE TIME JOBS ARE REALLY FOUND BY WORD OF MOUTH OR BY CONNECTIONS AND WE ALL KNOW THAT ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF JOBS IS ACTUALLY POSTED. IF YOU THINK YOURE IN A BAD PLACE OR THAT YOU NEED TO DO BETTER, DONT WORRY!!! EVENTUALLY, INEVITABLY,  ABSOLUTELY YOU WILL FIND YOUR CALLING. EVERYTHING TAKES TIME.

AND THE OBLIGATORY WEEKLY UPDATE, I DIDNT DO MUCH JUST WORK AND HUNG OUT AND THEN FOOTBALL!!! IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A GAME IN WHICH WE WON... BUT WE LOST AND WE PLAYED PRETTY HORRIBLE THAT GAME... ITS ALRIGHT, JUST GET BACK AT IT NEXT WEEK :) OH AND ATE 4 LOBSTERS THE OTHER WEEKS SO THAT WAS NICE LOL.
