TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON movie review

on the third installment of the car-robot franchise, Transformers: Dark of the Moon will give you a hi-intensity killer machines that we believe to be the saviors of the universe. good to see in 3D especially in SM digital cinemas and IMAX theaters across Manila.

set in two different times, 1969 and the present, we once believed that the expedition on the moon is just human excitement. but as NASA is at the discovery of a very classified information, they have launched Apollo 11 to the moon. and there the existence of rather more complex intelligence exists and the citizens of Cybertron are upon us.

in the present time, Sam Witwiki is in the search for a job to make his parents ever prouder and for the future with the new girlfriend. but once the job is acquired, he is also hunted by the Deceptecons. being the messenger and the one closest to the Autobots, Sam is the perfect gateway to get into the headquarters. and they had it successful and Sentinel had betrayed them.

however, Autobots can't leave us all by ourselves. they still have the attachment to the human beings and they will serve the humans and protect the planet. it's good to see other robots like Shockwave, Sentinel, Megatron and the others giving a full blast in the movie. one thing that i just find weird is Carly, (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) in any way she gets rolled or jumping from falling buildings and crashing choppers, she never gets dirty and still maintain that poise. she didn't have that same charm as Megan Fox though. and Patrick Dempsey is a villain! i'm just not used to it since he was this goody-goody leading man from movies and TV series and i think it lacks that acting power.

and for a Transformers movie, you will really expect machine details like the first installments. you will be just get used to it.

G's SPA - ecoliving relaxation

standing at the center of ecoliving in Sta. Rosa, Laguna is a place for relaxation and peace. G's Spa Place of Wellness, a short drive from Nuvali, a quiet sanctuary that rejuvenates your well-being with their relaxing services. so at the time that i was asked to try it, i really took the opportunity to pamper myself.

this started from the concept of the Guevarra siblings, who one's wife has undergone an accident and needs therapy. and meeting an Indonesian who is an expert, they have developed an appropriate business that not only lessens stress but provided jobs to nearby residents. a good advocacy to the owners that deserve a good return.

though a long drive from Manila, you will be taken to a soft place designed with traditional Pinoy-con-Thai interiors. overseeing the areas of Nuvali and South Forbes. nature is very much prominent that's why clean air circulates inside the room. life elements such as wood and water are predominantly decorating the spa.


Spa Area and Jacuzzi
welcome yourself with sweet and clearing ginger and lemongrass tea with honey. relax your senses and sip on this concoction before you take the therapy. and once inside the spa area, you will be invited to a cozy feeling. there are rooms good for up to 6 patients and served with friendly and well-trained masseuses.

i tried the Lapis-lapis or the Body Wrap. getting a good moderate massage from head to foot, i was wrapped in plastic for around 15 minutes, while my body is spread with a mixture of macapuno, which is a breakthrough in spa technology, only found in G's Spa Place of Wellness. the heat gives you a relaxing feeling inside the wrap and here's a good catch -- i lost .40 pounds afterwards which is good enough to relive my motivation to lost those extra waist inches and toxins.

and after that relaxing treatment, take a sip again of their signature ginger ale and clear your senses.
