Criminal Minds Season 2 Episode 20 Honor Among Thieves
Wow, that was a really great episode. It really took me for a ride and got me totally fooled. Many people did not like it since the team is really useless in the episode. There is no actual behavioural analysis and they are not getting into the mind of …

Can’t Hardly Wait movie
I was flipping channels on Saturday and came across the movie Can’t Hardly Wait on TV. It was the first time I’ve seen the movie before so I took the time to watch it. And, I have to say it was better than expected.
Basically, the movie is a love …
Nalgene Waterbottle
I absolutely cannot be without my red 1000 mL Nalgene bottle securely in my hand. Ever since I purchased this bottle for approximately $30.00 at my college’s Barnes and Noble, I found myself absolutely addicted to this bottle.
Looking at this bottle, there are measurements tallies on the side, indicating …

MANHUNTING by Jennifer Crusie
Manhunting by Jennifer Crusie is one of her earlier books (not that early, but predating Getting Rid of Bradley) and seems to have a lighter feel to it. There is the usual witty dialogue and one-liners, and the occasional product placement. There aren’t actually product placements, of course, it’s …
I-405 Freeway
The dreaded I-405 was surely placed by the devil himself, as it has created nothing more than pain and more pain for the everyday commuter, as well as the occasional traveler. Serving the long stretch of southern California, the freeway is no stranger to insane amounts of traffic in …

Freecycle Sonoma County
Freecycle. At first it sounds like a good thing - a place where you can give away your stuff and get stuff you want in return, all for free. Heck, in many counties and states it definately is. I’ve talked to Moderators in other places. They are swell, easy …
Veteran’s Park
The park nearest my home is one of the only parks in the area. It has been there for years, and I remember from when I was a child. I never really noticed how small the park was. I also did not notice the lack of shading. I guess …
My Only U
Another Tagalog or “Filipino” movie we are watching right now is the movie of Star Cinema for their 15th anniversary, the “My Only U”. This movie is starred by Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga. To be honest, the movie is a bit too shallow. It is about two people …

J C Penney Home Collection Washcloth
Earlier I did a review for another J C Penney washcloth, one that I’d been disappointed in. Prior to purchasing that product, though, I’d been getting J C Penney Home Collection Washcloths. Pricing is about the same, but there is a difference.
I noticed the other product was …
Little Debbie Creme-Filled Strawberry Cupcakes
It is a shame that the Little Debbie Creme-Filled Strawberry Cupcakes are not available year-round because I really do like them quite a lot. The reason I like these strawberry cupcakes quite a lot is because the strawberry flavor is quite flavorful and authentic. The flavoring does not taste …

Ki Sushi in New Westminster, Canada
Every once in a while, I feel the need to pig out on sashimi. For the uninitiated, sashimi is a close cousin of sushi. The difference between the two is that sushi has rice, while sashimi is plain raw fish or other seafood.
My whole family loves sashimi. …
American Red Cross
I’m almost ashamed to admit I’ve never donated money to the American Red Cross before. It’s not because I don’t normally give to charity, because I do. It’s because I never fully understood what the organization did.
That was until we had to cope with a major flood here in …
Top Flight 3 Pack Memo Books

This hotel sits just back from the banks of the world famous Loch Ness. Because of its slightly elevated position, you are able to enjoy some of the most breath taking views I have ever seen from a hotel. Off the top of my head I can only think …
Rizal Boulevard Dumaguete City
One of the spots that make Dumaguete City famous is the Rizal Boulevard that stretches almost ten blocks along the shoreline of the city. It is one of the most crowded area in the city because of joggers, hikers or even just those people who …
