IMAX Theater

I went on to watch Transformers in 3D recently in IMAX theatre in Mall of Asia, Philippines. This is the first IMAX theater here and quite recently too I saw Tron: Legacy and I must say, the 3D theatre and sound is really different and worth it.
Booking online …

Sea Life Centre Birmingham

We took our two children to the national sea life centre in Birmingham last week and had a good time. It was interesting and educational. The only problem we thought that it was too expensive at fifteen pounds per person and we thought we would be in there a …

Vanessa Hudgens

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Vanessa Hudgens. She is gorgeous and she has amazing style. She is super cute in all of the High School Musical films and they somehow made her voice sound decent on the High School Musical soundtrack. I do not know why …

2008 Swan Park Craft Fair

While my wife and I might not have enjoyed the annual Lake Days event, there is one event held the same weekend in Beaver Dam that is usually pretty decent; the annual Swan Park Craft Fair.
And, while the event probably isn’t among my favorites (I’m not usually a person …

Capilano Suspension Bridge

Most of my friends and acquaintances express shock that, as a person who has spent all by 6 years of my life living near Vancouver, BC, I have yet to cross Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction, the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Built in the late 1880s, the footbridge is suspended across …

The Singing Machine

Roe Lounge

I have been to Roe Lounge a few times this past month. It is located at 651 Howard Street in San Francisco, California. I have never been to the happy hour at Roe, but I have been when it turns into a club at nights on the weekend. Unfortunately, …

South fork Ranch

While we were so close to Dallas we took a tour of the South fork Ranch, that was the ranch that was featured on the Dallas series for many, many years. Our little group left Arlington one after noon and drove the forty five minutes up the road …

San Diego Wild Animal Park

The San Diego Wild Animal Park is an amazing place for you to explore the wild animals with your friends or family, and a nice way to get outdoors and enjoy yourself. That is exactly with I did, I purchase the tickets online at around $40 for myself and …

Kuala Lumpur Neway Karaoke

Originated from Japan, karaoke is becoming a trendy entertainment nowadays. Everyone loves to sing, and it’s best if we get to sing to the music, with lyrics available. It is even better if we get to sing at a comfortable place.
These are all available at …

Cooking Dash

There is one word to describe Cooking Dash: addicting! After getting addicted to Diner Dash, we had to try Cooking Dash. We downloaded a free sample of Cooking Dash and were hooked! This game is a favorite of my siblings, from ages 15-24. A favorite …

World Center for Birds of Prey

My family and I recently visited the World Center for Birds of Prey, located in Boise, Idaho. Because we had our 3 youngest children with us, ranging in age from 2 to 9, I wanted to make sure this attraction was going to be worth the while before …

BET Awards 2009

Unfortunately Michael Jackson died right before the airing of this program. I will go ahead and give the people putting this thing together the benefit of the doubt. The woman heading up BET mentioned during the program that it took lots of last minute doing …

Center Street Lounge in New Haven CT

The Center Street Lounge bar in New Haven Connecticut is one big pile of trash and the place is just disgusting and I do not even know how this place is in business. If you want a nice night out on the town than avoid this place because there …

High School Musical: The Concert

Last night, I went to Houston to see High School Musical: The Concert and it was amazing! All of the stars from the movie are there, except for Zac (who plays Troy) because he is filming another movie. So in his place is Drew Seeley who has a …

Kockelscheuer Indoor Ice Skating Rink

Luxembourg has seen a record snowfall this year. Snowfall was quite heavy and early this year causing lots of upheaval and chaos on the road, disrupting commutes and even school. Well, I love it because I haven’t seen that much snow here since my oldest daughter was born. Not …

The Lion King

I was fortunate that a friend got tickets to view The Lioin King when I made my most recent trip to Shanghai.
The show was very well done, with elaborate costumes and set. I loved the interaction of the cast with the audience. It was a very self-reflexive …

Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC

I started watching Jon and Kate plus 8 one Monday evening when I was channel surfing. Jon and Kate plus 8 immediately caught my attention because of the large family. The show is a reality show based on Jon and Kate and their eight children. The …

Iowa State Fair

I love the Iowa State Fair! I am from central Missouri and this is the 4th time I’ve made the 4-1/2 hour drive up for the Iowa State Fair. I always go for a concert and to meet up with friends, but I love the fair, itself! Their corn …

If you like musical productions you will love this outdoor Shepherd of the Hills play. The story is based on the book by Harold Bell Wright celebrating the lives and history of a fictious family modeled after the Ozark people. The Shepherd of the Hills has over …

Vue Cinema @ The O2, Greenwich

This cinema at the 02 is great. I didn’t have high hopes - I’ve been to other Vue cinemas and experienced huge queues to buy tickets, queues at the refreshments counter, queues to get into the screen (as they wait for cleaners between showings) and a learner projectionist fiddling …

Chuck E. Cheese

This is a great place to take the kids, and much cheaper then an amusement park (or even the Zoo, in my experience). It’s safer too.
As you walk in, there is a “kid check point”. Children aren’t allowed in, without an adult. You and your child(ren) …

Nu Metro Cinema Movie Theater

I rarely go out to the movies and much rather prefer to rent out a DVD and watch it in the comfort of the confines of my couch, but I recently went out to the Nu Metro Movie Theater as I was dragged along by a bunch of close …

Whiskey River Saloon

I normally avoid bars that are a part of a chain, but a recent experience at Whiskey River Saloon has me reconsidering this stance. I visited Whiskey River on a Wednesday night and had a fantastic experience.
This bar had many positive aspects. First of all, there was …

2010 Columbus, WI Fourth of July Parade

We didn’t attend last year’s Independence Day parade in Columbus, WI because my wife was pregnant and due any day (she gave birth on the 14th of that month). So, when we had an opportunity to attend this year’s parade, we did so.
Overall, I think I’m glad I took …

Futurama Episode 3: I, Roommate

Series Name: Futurama
Episode Title: Episode 3: I, Roommate
Original air Date: April 6 1999
My personal rating: 5/10
I, Roommate was the third episode in the first series of the animated entertainment show, Futurama. While the first two episodes themselves had a strongly positive reception, and in my opinion were two amazing …

Chabot Space and Science Center

This is a nice place to go with your family. It is in the hills in Oakland, so the drive there was scenic and full of twists and turns. It ended up being a little difficult to find, but after asking a few hikers, we managed to find it, …

Disney’s California Adventure Park Expansion

My family and I have gone to the Disney Resort in Anaheim, California every summer since 2003. We love the resort. We also fell in love with Disney’s California Adventure Park. It is a different Disney experience. We loved the fact that the park was based on different parts …
