One More Chance Movie Review

i dont know where to start or to begin this,i hate doing this but i dont have a choice but to tell people how nice and really heart -melting movie this is, i’ve never expected to love this movie.. why is that? first, its tagalog, im not a fond of tagalog movie coz its always and most of them runs the same sequence or like you know the sequence of another sequence, something like that.. but this movie is great- i mean tlgang maganda ang production ng movie- its like even you’re trying to make a guess of whats nxt sequence or dialogue- its not the same as you think, the director made a very good approach on this movie and even the scriptwriter- its not just a common filipino dram movie- there’s a catch and every thing is in very detail, i like the story coz its like its much of the real scenario of some of my friends..

i’ll never be ashamed of this first tagalog movie review that i’ll be doing, since the movie is good and of course the situation itself of the movie really star struck my way back scenario, exactly the same.. the first thing i’ve notice is the sequence of the movie, its not just running as typical movie pinoy drama movie, you cant even guess what would be next to the sequence or scenario, that’s what i’ve seen, the director catches the great intimacy of the new generation of directing, and also the writers, very well written ung mga dialogue, well, i wont just make it as 5 star rating but a perfect ten.

here’s the story:

Will you change that love or love the change?

Popoy (John Lloyd Cruz) and Basha (Bea Alonzo)
have been together forever.

Their love story started when they met as students
in the university. Popoy was taking up Engineering
while Basha was a freshman in Architecture. They
have been inseparable ever since – they did everything
together may it be eating, studying or attending
parties. Their families loved them, they shared friends,
they eventually worked in the same firm and their life
plans revolved around each other. There is no Popoy
without a Basha and vice versa. In short, they were
certain that they will get married someday and build
a home together -literally and figuratively. Architect
Basha will design and plan their dream house while
Engineer Popoy will be the one to build it.  Everything
is perfect. At least that is what Popoy thinks.

Popoy and Basha struggle whether to hold on or
move on.

Just Say No: Five Reasons to Turn Down a Job Offer

Employer caution has extended the hiring process by weeks, even months. You may interview for a position several times, in person and by phone. No matter how long the process is and how well you’ve gotten to know your potential colleagues, it’s still perfectly acceptable to turn down a job offer. In fact, there may be many valid reasons that you should politely decline an opportunity, assuming, of course, that you’re not in dire financial straits.

 

 

 

a japanese sign for bad work.. 

 

1. The word on “The Street.”

Is the company’s stock price tanking? Or is there talk of a merger? Both of these things could indicate that layoffs loom large, and the position you accept today may not exist in a few months. To calculate your risks, speak with industry experts, do your due diligence on Yahoo! Finance, and consult with family and trusted friends. If you still want to accept the position, try to obtain an iron-clad employment contract.

2. A revolving “Employees Only” door.

A certain percentage of employee turnover is normal. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average voluntary employee turnover in the U.S. for 2006 was 23.4 percent. However, high employee turnover should raise a red flag for any potential worker. Research a company thoroughly before accepting an offer. Also, be sure to listen carefully during the hiring process. Do interviewers keep referring to folks who’ve left the company or mentioning a total lack of redundancy? These could be signs that people are leaving faster than replacements can be recruited.

3. Money isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.

If money is a major factor in your decision to accept a new job, think twice before you do. In fact, think three times. Even four.

Depending on your personal financial situation and how much more you’d be earning in a new job, money may not buy you on-the-job happiness or professional fulfillment. It may not even guarantee career advancement. Assess your finances. Revisit your career goals. Look at the situation with a big-picture view of your future. Making a move for a modest increase may not be worth it if there’s more long-term potential with your current employer. Also, be sure to calculate your entire compensation package to make sure that you’re not forfeiting a valuable retirement or insurance plan for a bigger paycheck.

4. All work, no life.

There’s a time in almost everyone’s career where they have to put their nose to the grindstone and work almost to the point of burnout. If you’re just beginning your career or starting a second one, this may be what lies ahead for the next few years. However, if you’re a mid-careerist with a family and personal obligations, it may not be wise to accept an 80-hour-a-week job. Consider the impact your new schedule will have on you and your family. Will generous vacation make up for the longer hours? Is there flex time available so you can still attend family functions? Can you work from home? Forfeiting invaluable work-life balance benefits without assessing the consequences can have a devastating impact on your personal life.

5. A bad reputation.

Going to work for a company with a reputation that’s been sullied by a corporate scandal or that isn’t well respected can, in turn, sully your resume. Investigate any potential employer’s standing within their industry. Solicit opinions from within your network as well as that of an executive recruiter. You may learn that it’s better to be a top salesperson at an admired organization rather than a VP of sales at a suspect one.

My HOCKEY world

Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a ball, or a hard, round disc called a puck, into the opponent’s net or goal, using a hockey stick. The dominant version of hockey in a particular region tends to be known simply as hockey, other forms being more fully qualified.

 

  

 

 

 

Hockey is played on a large flat area of ice, using a three inch (76.2 mm) diameter vulcanized rubber disc called a puck. This puck is often frozen before high-level games to decrease the amount of bouncing and friction on the ice. The game is contested between two teams of skaters. The game is played all over North America, Europe and in many other countries around the world to varying extent.

The 64-member governing body is the International Ice Hockey Federation, (IIHF). Men’s ice hockey has been played at the Winter Olympics since 1924, and was in the 1920 Summer Olympics. Women’s ice hockey was added to the Winter Olympics in 1998. North America’s National Hockey League (NHL) is the strongest professional ice hockey league, drawing top ice hockey players from around the globe. The NHL rules are slightly different from those used in Olympic ice hockey – the periods are 20 minutes long, counting downwards. There are three periods.

Ice hockey sticks are long L-shaped sticks made of wood, graphite, or composites with a blade at the bottom that can lie flat on the playing surface when the stick is held upright and can curve either way as to help a left- or right-handed player gain an advantage. Variations in curves include its lie and its curve type. Most companies that produce sticks have sponsored players and in return, use their custom curve on publicly retailed sticks. To shoot with a left curved stick, the stick is held with the right hand at the top and the left hand partway down the shaft. To shoot with a right curved stick, the stick is held with the left hand at the top and the right hand partway down the shaft. Most people who are right handed shoot with a left curved stick, and most people who are left handed shoot with a right curved stick. This keeps their dominant hand at the top of the stick, allowing more control. Sticks also have flex numbers, a number on the stick that can go from zero to 100. It indicates how much the stick will bend before breaking when pressed on the ice. This flexing is what enables slapshots.

There are early representations and reports of hockey-type games being played on ice in the Netherlands, and reports from Canada from the beginning of the nineteenth century, but the modern game was initially organized by students at McGill University, Montreal in 1875 who, by two years later, codified the first set of ice hockey rules and organized the first teams.

Some notable players in ice hockey are Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Maurice “The Rocket” Richard, and Dino Lelis.
