There was a man at the horse racing course placing a few bets he make a loss from them. Then he noticed something perculiar at the start-line of the course. He saw a priest crossing over to the track and bless one of the horses. Then, at the end of the race, the horse which the priest blessed won. At the next race, he again saw the priest crossing over to the track and putting his hand over one of the horse to bless it.

This time, the man place a small bet on that horse. That horse won. For the next race, the priest once again crosses over to the track and bless another horse. The man immediately place all his money on that horse. At the end of the race, that horse came in last.

Being extremely baffled by it, he decided to ask the priest why? He went over to find the priest and asked: “ Father, I put all my life-savings on the horse which you just blessed but why didn’t it win like the previous races?” The priest asked him: “Are you a Catholic?” The man replied: “ Yes I am but only by birth trade.” The priest then nodded and said: “ That explains why. That’s why you can’t differentiate a simple blessing from the last rite.”

Havoc or bored?

2006-07-05T09:33:00.000-07:00

Havoc is a real short movie. It is a show about rich teenagers being bored with their lives and they try to get excitement by doing foolish and dangerous things. They went to a street to buy drugs. Went back again to mix with the drug dealers and even want to join in their group. When the female lead realised what she had done, it might be too late as someone may be killed. To say they are bored, we can rather say they do not know how to appreciate their lives. Therefore one can conclude that having an aim or goal in life is important as it makes one not to get into boredom and foolishly regretted things that had or not been done. It can be seen from one of the characters in the movie who is making a short movie about his rich teenagers friends. In the end, he seems to be enjoying himself all the time than the rest.

The girl sobbing at the side

2006-07-05T09:30:00.000-07:00

One evening, a guy was walking along the street and saw a girl sobbing at the side. He went over and asked why she was tearing. The girl looked at him and said: “ I was given 100 dollars to buy a gift but I have only 50 left.” He then asked her whether she had dropped it somewhere therefore she cried. She replied that she was robbed just now. To his astonishment, he told her: “Didn’t you asked for help? How can anyone do that just on the street like that with so many people around? The girl then said she did but nobody came to help.

The guy was rather surprised as he felt it was not possible not to alert anyone if she did shouted for help. He then asked her how she does it and she shouted: “ Help! Help!” It was like whispering. He then told her that she must be louder in future. “That was my loudest!” She said.

Upon hearing this, the guy took her 50 dollars from her hand and walked away quietly.

Some might think that it seems funny or such situations can be seen in comedies too. But in real life, this is definatey a terrible thing. Appearing nice and helpful but hurt others in the end by taking advantage of them. Hypocraites should start putting themselves into other shoes.

Superman Returns - Are you looking forward to it?

2006-06-29T09:16:00.000-07:00

After 5 years of disappearance, he’s finally back to action fulfilling his duty of helping humans again. He comes in quite slowly not like his fellow comic friend, batman, who comes with a pack of punch in batman begins. Batman also comes in with the mysterious factor unlike Superman where he comes back openly as usual with nothing much we do not know more about him. Example he need not have any fanciful gadgets or go through any kind of special training to be a super hero. He is just born to be one with extraordinary powers and not afraid to let others know how he looks like.

The first rescue mission sets in when Louis Lane and other people on board gets into a critical situation when the rocket was not able to detach itself from the plane due to a jam at the locks caused by a little experiment by Lex Luther. This is where the actions started to come in and though nothing explosive or exciting like MI3, it did raise the tempo of the movie and there was a unique touch of emotion when Louis saw a flying figure and when everyone finally saw the one who saved them made this movie interesting and watchable.

I came to think about it that the elements that made superman returns a great deal is not really about the actions but just the thought of it! Someone who you can depend on, someone who is back to save the world finally returns. This brings back hope and the nostalgic moments when we first knew about someone who has such special capabilites that will help maintan a safe place for everyone to live in.

Anyway, the story then continues on with superman saving more people being featured on the news everyhere and trying to find his love back but quite difficult now as Louis is already engaged to Richard a nice guy and has a son. Lex continues to proceed with his evil plot using the enormous power generated from the crystals that belong to superman and of course part of his plot is to destroy superman using kryptalite.

Some of the interesting scenes that happened was when Clarke always appeared to be corny and pretending to be even more corny when he heard that someone was comparing him with superman which works to make people dropping the idea of associating him with the super hero. Another was the scene when how Louis’s son a very weak boy, saved his mum from one of Lex’s henchman by throwing the piano and killed him. He cured his asthmatic problem instanteously in the process too and we can also confirmed who’s the father of Louis’s son now. There was also a surprising part which is superman being admitted to the hospital, doctors trying to save him and lying in coma.

Overall, it is not the actions that one will expect that made this movie nice or the fascinations of the superhero for many has seen or know what he can do. It is just the welcome story of America’s very own mystic hero and the good play by the various characters such as Kevin Spacey as Lex and Brandon Routh as Clarke/Superman and Kate Bosworth as Louis Lane. It is enjoyable and relaxing.

The King and the Clown continued

2006-06-27T05:53:00.000-07:00

The play they performed was about how the King’s mother was killed. This was a matter that always caused the King to be depressed. His mother was killed because of being accused of causing the King’s father who was the previous King to be distracted from the state affairs. The empress dowager who was the grandmother of the current King after hearing reports of other concubines decided to force the previous King to bestow a poison wine to his love one.

The King was greatly affected emotionally when watching the play and he rushed to
Gong-gil who played the role of the mother and shouted, “Mamma, No!” Everyone present was shocked. The King then pull out a sword furiously and wanted to kill the concubines who made the little reports about his mum to his grandmother. The concubines pleaded guilty and asked for mercy. His grandmother tried to stop him insisting that his mother deserved to die for affecting the previous King’s capability in ruling the country. The king pushed his grandmother away twice and stabbed right through the concubines. The empress dowager could not take the blow and died as a result of it.

After this incident, Gong-gil requested the king to let him leave but the king refused and even gave him an official title for playing a part in getting rid of corrupted official and those who caused his mum to death. He was forced to accept it. The King’s favorite consort was really agitated by the King’s lust towards this boy and made a fuss of stripping him to see whether he’s a real guy. The King then dragged her out which made her even more upset.

Despite the mourning period of the empress dowager, the King insisted on the welcome ceremony for Gong-gil being an official to be held. Two of the ministers came up with a plan of a simulated hunting trip. But their plan was to murder Gong-gil. Gong-gil was saved by one of his troupe mate who died for him and by his captain. The King then came in time and shot one of the ministers to death. The other was killed by the troupe’s captain. Before the minister died, he said that the country was built up by the selfless sacrifice of the ministers but they were now being mocked by ministrels and that the King was a tyrant. Before this, a minister who has served the current and previous kings was pulled away roughly to one side by the King and sacked during the daily meeting of the king with the ministers because he opposed the troupe’s act which mocked the officials and requested them to leave the palace.

The Chief Attendant then went to seek an audience with the King. He said that his intention was just to show the King about the bad things happening in the court but never did he expected the king to be lustful towards a boy and became tyranny in ruling. The King was greatly angered by his words and sacked him.

The King’s favourite consort at the mean time was hatching an evil plot to frame Gong-gil. She asked her henchman to put notices up in the city that insulted and scolded the king using Gong-gil’s handwriting. The troupe’s captain who also has similar hand-writing as him because he learnt writing by imitating Gong-gil’s style took the rap for him. He was sentenced to death but was secretly released by the official who brought them in. He did not leave instead stayed to mock the King in the palace. The king then shot arrows at him but missed. He fell eventually and when the King was about to kill him, Gong-gil pleaded for his mercy and finally convinced the not to stained his hand with the blood of a lowly peasant. The king then asked Gong-gil to kill him but the later refused and asked the king to kill him instead. In the end, the King ordered the eyes of the captain to be smeared by hot iron and to be locked up in jail.

The officials decided to rebel and overthrown the king as they could not stand his tyranny. They went to look for the King’s Chief attendant and asked him to join them in this revolt and help served the fourth king as he had served three kings before including the current. He refused.

At the mean time, Gong-gil commited sucide by cutting his wrist while entertaining the king. Gong-gil was saved in the end. Emotionally depressed and seemed unaware of the uprise staged by his officials, the king went to look for his favourite consort to seek comfort. He then thought of an idea of having a party and called for his Chief Attendant. The Chief Attendant has committed sucide at his house.

The king arranged for the troupe captain to perform his speciality of walking on the rope high up. Despite being blinded, he still managed to perform singing about being blinded. Blinded by money thus he came to the capital and eventually to the palace and now really blinded. Gong-gil woke up and went to joined him up at the rope. They talked about whether being blind is good and what they want to be in their next lives.

The officials came and dashed into the palace. The palace guards fled and all the servants fled too later on. The consort’s henchman told her about the matter but she did not leave as she wanted to continue to watch the performance. The king was also engrossed with the performance. The troupe captain then said out aloud continued from the conversation with Gong-gil that he would want to a ministrel again in the next life. Gong-gil too wanted and they both jumped up. The end.

The King and the Clown

2006-06-27T03:28:00.000-07:00

The King and the Clown, an all time No.1 Korean Movie has its qualities of being called one. The story is about two ministrel both males who came to the capital to look for more money and one of them really has such delicate features that made him almost a woman. They then met onto fellow ministrels and challenged them during their performance.

They became partners after that and went on to put up a show mocking the king and his consort. They were caught and punished by an official and the troupe’s captain requested to perform for the king and if the King finds it amusing then they should not be punished.
His request was granted and they managed to make the King and his consort laughed at the last minute. The King then decided to keep them in the palace.

But, the ministers were not happy with the decision that a commoner troupe have a quarter in the palace. They feel that it should not be allowed according to the law of the previous king and obviously this upset the King greatly for he felt that he was being surpressed by his subjects.

The captain of the troupe upon knowing this decided to put up a show this time mocking the ministers. The king was extremely amused by it but his ministers weren’t and some were even afraid as they were indeed involved in the corruptions allegations shown in the play. The king then took the opportunity to reprimand all the ministers who always tell what the King should or should not to do. On the spot, the minister who was mentioned in the play was severely punished and his rank stripped off.

The King took a liking in the ministrel who looked like a girl( gong-gil) and always summoned him to entertain him. His counterpart( the troupe’ captain) was grealy upset by this or rather jealous as he seems to like him too. The troupe was then asked to perform a play by the King’s loyal subject the official who brought them in to the palace. He wanted to leave the palace but gong-gil told him to leave after the play requested by the official as it could only be performed in the palace.

To be continued.

Jewel in the Palace

2006-06-25T13:15:00.000-07:00

This show somehow touched me even more when I watched it the second time . At first, when I heard about this upcoming show I was not thrilled about it. I even think it will be something ordinary even though it was highly rated as an excellent show.

Somehow I managed to be back on time to watch the first episode and after that I thought what is the attraction that made people want to watch on? Then I watched on to the second, third, fourth, fifth… That’s it I was truly attracted to the show and felt the joy, sadness, excitement for every episode that went on. There is much to look forward to. Every episode led on something new, something worth to take note and something that is so much to learn from.

This is the story of Chang Jin the female imperial Medical Officer in Korea, the doctor who saves and help many people but you will never expect her to be one such great figure when you started to watched it. There were so many exciting and interesting events that occurred along the way.

Indeed, a touching story that brings out happiness, humanity and hope.

The Story of Two Pots

2006-06-25T12:10:00.000-07:00

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years, this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The old woman smiled,"Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. To all of my crack pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers, on your side of the path.

He called to ask whether the Chief will be brave enough to wage the war against the enemy clan. According to history he did but there were qualms about that he was a timid person. He immediately replied that he’s of course going to wage the war and continued to ask about what’s written down in history about him. According to history, he was a man of honour who uphold justice and samurai code. He was extremely delighted to hear that.

Days have passed, but the Chief has not taken any action. His wife and his younger children left him and went back to his in-laws. Only his eldest son stayed. He was only more than happy as the house has become more peaceful and he has more time for his mistress. One fine day, his son was too upset with his father’s cowardness and tried to kill him. The Chief managed to convince the son to stop. He decided to ask for help from a General who was one of the member of the clan.

The general could not sent his troops for help as he cannot use the government troops to interefere in this matter. His own men then later tried to kill him also but he mangaed to escape. The phone rang again and asked him whether he will be taking action against the enemy clan soon. He hesitated for a while and as a man who loves his face, he claimed that he will be. And when asked about how does he feel at the moment he gave an inspiring speech for his friend from the future to take note. While giving his speech, his men happened to heard it and more came to hear what he has to said.

After finishing it, he was shocked to see all his men and his son shedding tears behind him. They were touched upon his speech and was guilty that they were mistaken about him. This matter has spread throughout the area and people has came from all over the place to praise the Chief as a man of honour and righteousness and decided to join in this fight for justice.

The Chief was totally at loss now. He did not have the courage to fight at all as the enemy clan is too strong. But his people were ready for the war. The phone rang again and asked him about the situation and his feelings, the chief then asked about what did he told his people according to history during this period of time to boost their morale.

One night, he asked his son out for a talk. He asked him to leave together to a new place to start all over again and told his son that he is still young and have not experience many things in life. His son was touched and told him that he has mistaken his father as a coward all the while until now he realised that he is indeed a brave and honourable man so he has no regret to fight in this war with him. Not wanting to disappoint his son’s impression of him, he decided not to go.

The day has finally come, his men gathered around him all waiting for his final instructions. The phone rang again asking about his feelings at this moment. Once again he asked what did he said to his men at this time and about the outcome of the battle. He was told that he will survived and his name will passed down from generation to generation. He knew he couldn’t escaped from this war and he knew he is afraid to die but there is nothing he can do. He put the phone done on the ground slowly and decided to said his last words before the war without knowing what’s written in history.

He put his helmet on, finished his short speech and led his men to the battle.

The guy over the phone then typed in his computer, the Chief is indeed a brave samurai warrior and it does correspond to history. He’s actually a historian from the future to confirm about the events that took place in history. There were many others like him in this huge office all calling to the past to find out about other historical events. Then a man came over to asked the historian whether one of the broken phones which was found at the evacuation site is his. He said yes. That was the phone he used to speak to the chief clan.

The tales of the Unusual

2006-06-22T09:05:00.000-07:00

It was a show I happened to watch late in the night. A movie that made me want to watch on because of its continuous interesting content. A group of people were stuck at a railway station due to a heavy rain and a young man started a chat with someone just to get rid of boredom. He initiated by saying a short story. Another guy in his forties wearing a pair sunglasses continued the short story by this young man and after finishing it, the young man requested for another one. Soon, one by one at the railway station came over and requested another one from him after hearing it.

One of the four stories started off with a group of archelogists busy working at a evacuation site and one of them found a buried handphone. The story then dated back to a few hundred years ago in Japan when a Samurai Clan leader was killed by another clan. The new successor now have the responsibility to uphold the warrior’s code by revenging for his late chief. But he was a timid man who has no wish at all to fight against the stronger and more powerful clan. But his men continued to pester him to take action wherever he goes and he keep avoiding by claiming that the time is not ripe.

Back at his home, facing all the noise created by his younger children and his wife, he decided to get out of his house to take a breath. Then he heard a ring from a handphone on the ground. Being shocked and afraid, he pulled out his sword and approached it slowly. After touching it, he ran away. Suddenly, he heard a voice from the phone calling his name. The voice then told him to put his ear to it to listen, never ever seen what a phone is, he laid down on the floor and placed his ear near it to find out further. Feeling embarassed by his action when spotted by his surbodinates, he picked up the phone and hurried back to his house.

Knowing that it is not a comfortable way to listen to the phone by lying on the ground and being unfamiliar with it, he hanged it up to the tree. The voice continued saying that it is calling from the future and wanted to clarify with him whether the history is true. Immediately, he bursted out into laughter. Of course he does not believe about a call from the future. Then the voice said that one of his relative will died today because of an accident. Knowing that he is right at home, he deemed it as nonsense. To his astonishment, his relative then fell into the well right behind him straight after that and was drowned to death.

Now he believed what the guy said over the phone… To be continued.

Garfield is up with his tricks again

2006-06-20T09:33:00.000-07:00

This time Garfield is being mistaken for another cat which is known as prince, kind of like a real prince as it has inherited the wealth of a princess(an animal lover) which includes Carley Castle. Garfield was picked up by the loyal servant of Carley castle on the streets of London when the Garfield look alike prince was gone missing.

What happened was that the nephew of the princess wanted to sieze the inheritance for himself thus he tried to get rid of prince by throwing him into the river. But who knows the servant brought “Prince”(Garfield) back.

At the mean time, John found prince and mistook him for Garfield.

Garfield was really enjoying himself as prince not knowing that someone was trying to get rid of him and the other animals there actually disliked him but have to protect and obey him because they will lose their home if the Duke(Princess’s nephew) were to get hold of the inheritance.

Prince finally came back on his own but Garfield once again saves the day when prince has no plan against the evil plot of the duke.

Overall, it is a simple story but the movie is quite relaxing and Garfield has again created some laughters with his actions and expressions. He’s a funny character to watch although you can expect much on what’s next in the story.

Lindsay Lohan and Just My Luck her latest film

2006-06-17T14:05:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan is back again with another light hearted movie. Just my luck shows her quite differently from other shows as she is now really slimmed and no longer that chubby adorable girl. Frankly speaking, she looks older in her new image as well.

She plays as Ashley here, a very lucky girl who gets what she wants and everything is favour of her. You can see that when rain stops suddenly for her when she’s going out, straight green lights on her way to work, another empty lift for her when the first lift was fully occupied which gives her the opportunity to meet a handsome, wealthy bachelor. And to really see how lucky she can get, the lift she did not take was stucked and gives her another opportunity to close a deal with a major client which gets her in charge of the project, an office and a company credit car.
Things were all good until she met and kissed an anonymous who posed as a dancer at the party. The guy she kissed is actually a waiter, janitor cum a trying to make it band manager called Jake. After that kiss, Jake who at first a very unlucky guy who is used to all unlucky things happened to him like bird droppings on him, making a mess out of things became extremely lucky and finally managed to get his band a shot to fame.

Ashley’s life were running on bad days ever since and she met Jake again not knowing that he’s the guy she is searching for when she found out that it is that kiss which caused her to be in this misfortune state. Jake also did not seems to recognise her as the girl at the party but was readily to help her because he was once like her.

Later in the show, Ashley realised he’s the one and went to kissed him to get back her life. Instanteously, all was absolutely marvelous for her . For an instance, when she called for a taxi, many just flew over.

Now, it is Jake to be in trouble again, things seems to get out of control for him and his band before the opening of their first concert. And Ashley has the choice to help him to get things right.

Overall, the ending truly shows what true love is about like what Ashley mentioned she can never be luckier to met Jake. It is really true for this statement for I know there are really bad people in this world who will not return the luck they have taken from and rather let them suffer. It is a light hearted comedy which simply shows what true friendship and true love are really about. Worth watching it if you haven’t.

R.V. - Runaway Vacation

2006-06-17T14:03:00.000-07:00

R.V. is the new movie Robin Williams is in and as usual, he’s taking up the role as the funny man. The story kicks off as a happy and warm scene of him making his beloved daughter laugh and the next thing you know the children grew up and he has problems communicating with them.

Next, he has a difficult boss to handle and is facing a crisis of being taken over by a new MBA graduate. What goes on worse is that his boss cancelled his vacation to Hawaii he promised his family due to a new major deal. To solve his delima of getting his job done and a vacation with his family, he came up with a plan of going on a trip to Colorado where the meeting will be held, on a R.V. vehicle.

He convinced his family to go for this trip without letting them know he actually has a meeting to attend to. Being not really prepared for this family vacation, he couldn’t get certain things done as he promised he will like preparing the meal. And to complicate matters he has to submit a report before his meeting and has to deal with special circumstances such as sewage problem in the vehicle’s bathroom and racoons’ intrusion.

During this trip, situations the family faced managed to make them closer and the children being appreciative to their father’s intentions for bringing them here until they found out he has planned this to accommodate his work.

Things finally get resolved within the family thanks to the help of another family which they met on the trip. They are kind people who actually travelled and live on the R.V. vehicle.

Some bad side of humans can be seen from the encounters with this unique family where Robin Williams and family tried to ditch them thinking them as weird people but eventually become gulity when realised they were actually not weird but really kind, honest and humble people.

Overall, the story is nothing really fascinating but there are a few good laughs you can get out of it. One thing you can be sure is that Robin Williams do play well for his role like in any other shows.

The latest Disney Pixar animation - Cars

2006-06-07T11:10:00.000-07:00

What a movie Cars is… At first, the movie cartoon will not be that good as the central attention will be on cars which in actual fact have no emotions. But, it was great and better than expected.

The story starts off with the main lead Lightning MacQueen, a rookie race car which is fast, confident and ambitious, vying for the piston cup title which is considered a prestige car racing title nation wide. At the race, he and another two cars(one all time champion which will be competing his last race and the other the always first runner-up known as Chick.) were tied and they have to compete again with each other for the cup at California.

On the way there, MacQueen was lost and got himself at a small town. Over there, he created some trouble and have to stay to serve his term. Of course, he want to get out of that small town as fast as possible but over the time, he grew feelings for the folks there and finally have some real friends which he didn’t have any in the first place because of his ony pursue to be the top race car, have the best sponsor and fame. He has also discovered that the judge cum doctor of the town was actually the legendary all time Piston Cup Champion. Last but not least he fell in love with the lawyer and motel owner of the town, the beautiful Porshe Sally.

Some great values in life were shown and well shared in the movie and this bring the emotions out of you. There is this part where the Legendary Champion Hornet Hudson made MacQueen realised that he’s only a self-centred race car who never shows care to others and told him the truth that it was not him who quited at his peak but it was his team that quit on him which made him never want to stand on the car racing track though he still has many stuff yet to show. At another part where Sally took a “stroll” with MacQueen and told him the reason why she has given up her high paid job in LA, how she landed at this small town and finally why she had chose to stay at the small town. There is actually many beautiful things just right there but many has bypass it. It would be really good to stop and smell the roses sometimes.

The story ended well, touching and humorous. Overall the movie is rather relax and funny. Everything that is moving is a car even the flies! There is more to it after it ends thus do stay for a little while after the credits.

Watching good movies is a pleasure

2006-06-05T09:56:00.002-07:00

Movies are truly a form of entertaiment and relaxation. Whenever a movie starts, your mind will just let go of everything and let it follow whereever the screen is bringing you too. Of course, whether how long it will be depends on the movie or disturbance such as a phone call.

If the movie is really good with all the things set in place, you will just be taking a ride on a new journey facing new adventures or situations. Your emotions will start to be triggered as well, you might experienced joy, disappointment or even sadness. Well to me, I would most likely want to get a good laugh and relaxed myself rather than getting tensed up or filled with grief after the show. The purpose for watching a movie after all at least to me is to relax. But this does not imply that only comedies would be entertaining. Overall a good movie should have a good mixture of humour, excitement, etc.

If you were thinking of watching one, I would recommend that you catch She’s The Man. The storyline is not uncommon. Girl trying to disguise as a guy. But it was the scenes that took place which makes it good. Amanda Bynes here plays the well by trying to be a boy and doing her best to mix around and not get discovered. The way she tried to say “bro”, “dude” and a scene where she try to feign pain when the bottom got hit accidentally by the ball really portrays the humor part well. Overall, the show is worth watching and get some good laughs to relax.

Another comedy that came along was The Benchwarmers starring Rob Schineider as the hero for the victims of bullies who were usually targeted for their weaknesses such as spitting when talking. It is definitely not as humorous as the above mentioned and the movie sets itself into another segment too sudden which leads to a poor finish.

Talking about love movies, there were three of them which I did watch. Almost Love – A korean romantic comedy. These days there seems to be many korean romance show and this one here is entertaining talking about how close these two childhood friends are, the memories they shared and how they eventually become lovers.
