Hindi pa siya showing forte ko na talaga siya mapanood. Sad lang kasi nung first time mag plan kami na panoorin to hindi natuloy dahil sa Azkals game na yan. So ayun fail ang sched. Buti nalang nag text tong si Patrick kahapon (July 30, 2011) mga lunch time and I asked him kung feel niya manood so he said yes! So we decided to meet up at 1.30pm at malayo pa biyahe pa Baliuag lungs naman. Hahaha so ayon enough with the happening start with Captain America na that’s the point of this entry.
Syempre I don’t know what to expect hindi ko alam ang istorya ni Capt America pero natuwa naman ako hindi nga lang maicompare sa kagandahan ng story nila Batman, Spidey at kung sino pang superheroes. Pero nadaan sa face ni Chris Evans. At kahit payatutchina ang lolo mo nagkagusto na yata sa kanya kaagad un girl dahil sa pinakita niyang bravery sa bomb pati na din sa pag kuha ng flag sa pole. Tarush matalino ehh! Kaya lang may pagka corny lang nung na nung naging performer siya. At talagang nilibot ang iba’t ibang state sa America. Nakaka touch lang din ang friendship nila ni Bucky Barnes played by Sebastian Stan best in friendship sila at un ang dahilan kaya niya nailigtas ang 400 na utash. Sayang lang at namatay si bestfriend niya. Atleast hero silang dalawa. Pero nakakalungkot lang hindi masyadong nausuhan ng love life si Captain sana kahit konting kilig moments lang. At akala ko may ganap after niya magising sa pagkakatulog niya ng 70 years un pala un na ang katapusan. Hahaha dun ako nag expect. So hintayin ko nalang siguro ang The Avengers para bongga! Okaythanksbye! :)
Juli Baker devoutly believes in three things: the sanctity of trees (especially her beloved sycamore), the wholesomeness of the eggs she collects from her backyard flock of chickens, and that someday she will kiss Bryce Loski. Ever since she saw Bryce's baby blues back in second grade, Juli has been smitten. Unfortunately, Bryce has never felt the same. Frankly, he thinks Juli Baker is a little weird--after all, what kind of freak raises chickens and sits in trees for fun? Then, in eighth grade, everything changes. Bryce begins to see that Juli's unusual interests and pride in her family are, well, kind of cool. And Juli starts to think that maybe Bryce's brilliant blue eyes are as empty as the rest of Bryce seems to be. After all, what kind of jerk doesn't care about other people's feelings about chickens and trees? With Flipped, mystery author Wendelin Van Draanen has taken a break from her Sammy Keyes series and the result is flipping fantastic. Bryce and Juli's rants and raves about each other ring so true that teen readers will quickly identify with at least one of these hilarious feuding egos, if not both. A perfect inrtoduction to the adolescent war between the sexes.
Craig is a high-school junior, in the gifted program, infatuated with his best friend's girl. When he realizes he's suicidal, he checks himself into the psychiatric ward of a hospital, thinking they'll do an observation, help him, and send him home in time for school the next day. Once in, however, he must stay for a week; the juvenile ward is being renovated, so he's in with adults as well as a few youths. Bobby, a man with a young daughter, shows him around; Craig notices Noelle, about his age. He tries to keep his friends from finding out where he is. Little things: he draws, goes to therapy, sings, helps Bobby rehearse an interview. Is this the stuff of insight?
