Come one, come all!  Bring your whole family! As I was battling with asthma, body ache, heartache, et cetera, dad was so excited to ask me to "google" how much THE GREAT AMERICAN CIRCUS' tickets were and if it was safe to purchase tickets online.  I asked dad when and where the circus was going to be held and he said the circus would "open" on Christmas day at the Smart Araneta Coliseum up to the 3rd of January.   "Dada, there's no circus by that name, but performers from Las Vegas have a show called LE GRAND CIRQUE from that date to that date at SAC." The tickets are quite reasonable.  Check Ticket Net .  If you want to avail of the discounts for seniors and persons with disability, you have to purchase the tickets at the Araneta Coliseum or at the SM Store Customer Service/Bills Payment centers. Those who purchase tickets online wouldn't be able to avail of the discounts(but if you're not a senior citizen/student/PWD, g...

Informative Teaser # onebeatforpao # starwarsrogueone # xlinkdystoniaparkinsonism Everyone who is close to me know that I am a Star Wars fan.  Maybe I'm not as avid as some people I know, but I am definitely a fan.  When I was little I even had all those collectibles, board games, etc.   When the first ROGUE ONE teaser was shown, I was pretty psyched, so when a friend ask us to pay a little more than we should to watch it so it could help raise some funds for his Deep Brain Stimulation operation, I was more than glad to oblige. The film showing is his first fund raiser activity.  The operation alone costs PhP2M, but as I know very well, it does not end there.  There'll be rehabilitation sessions, maintenance medicine, et cetera , so I am pretty certain there will be other fund raisers for Pao in the near future. The organizers are very grateful to all who have already help.  Every little amount will go a long, long way... ...

From The Wrap.Com I'm at a loss for words.  That's strange because I am usually verbose.  I was dumbfounded by the special effects and the story. I love the cliff hanger and I can't wait for the second installment. I honestly haven't read the book, so I cannot say if I like the movie better or not.  All I know is that I love it!  I'll try to think of comments and I would put them beside the name of each cast member. I want to congratulate the whole team , most especially James Newton Howard for the background music that bring out all types of emotions; Philippe Rousselot for the awesome cinematography; Mark Day for the almost seamless, if not seamless editing and David Yates for a great directorial "job".

Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and g...
