I love popcorns! My wife, brothers in law, mother in law and my siblings can testify to that. But not any popcorn in the market! I am a Kettle Korn Popcorn lover. My wife always jokes on me that if only Kettle Korn will give freebies to those who has lots of wrappers at home, maybe we already join and win some stuff. It happened one time that we donated our empty wrappers of Kettle Korn to a neighbor whose daughter was a contestant of certain competition that costumes must be made of recyclable. Kettle Korn is my buddy in watching movies. I enjoy movies I downloaded only if I have a popcorn beside. Movie marathon is not complete without it.
Now my favorite popcorn in partnership with Nuffnang holds a movie screening contest to one of my favorite movie too, the Fast and Furious 6. I have been watching since the first part of this movie in the big screen. Though I can download it online I prefer seeing it, gets excited and amazed on the big screen with my wife, who happened to love the movie because of me too.Watching Fast and Furious movies are also our "us" time.

If you were to star in your own movie, what would your story be? Share with us your plot. Also, tell us how Kettle Korn makes watching movies poppin’ fun all time!
I am a homebody and enjoys in front of the computer even for a week. My own movie would likely be center to a not so action but more of a mind story. Like Zohan, I will be like a country's asset that highly paid and being well taken cared for my knowledge and skills can solve problems, helps improvement whether in health or technology, can ruin one's country and can make anyone a billionaire. I am a certain genius that was owned by a special agency. Sort of a weird movie because I am a couch potato and just like staying in a place but mind travels.
As I mentioned kettle korn is my movie budddy. Movies will never be as good as it is if will not be enjoyed by my favorite popcorn!.
I am one of those lucky Nuffnang bloggers who won the ticket to experience the Iron Man 3 Movie at Newport Cinema Resorts World. Thanks to Nuffnang a free movie date for me and husband. As usual hubby did enjoy the movie and the free large coke and popcorn too :).
Same old brand new , I am not into cartoon- like movie. I'm a lot different from those who loves watching this supah hero thingy. But nonetheless I can say the movie is worth watching. I enjoy every scene. Though I am not that familiar with the story from the beginning, it didn't made me clueless watching the part three of it. It's my husband who used to watch movies like these ( well guys will be guys I think!) He said ain't gonna enjoy the movie if it wasn't me he's going to watch it with so better to thug me along than make him look for another to thug huh. hee hee. Other than action I can say the movie is a romantic comedy like. I enjoy the gadgets, technology and the punchlines as well. I am just a little bit surprised with the leading lady named Pepper Potts. Not until I read the credits at the end that it was Gwyneth Paltrow. Both husband and I were really surprised. I never read a movie review nor the teaser not to spoil my excitement to see the full movie. So as what I mentioned the character casting did surprised me.
Teaming with Harley, a precocious 10-year-old boy, Stark investigates
the remains of a local explosion bearing the hallmarks of a Mandarin
attack. He discovers the explosions were triggered by soldiers from the
Extremis program, an experimental treatment intended to allow its users
to recover from crippling injuries. However, if a user's body cannot
properly metabolize Extremis, the user heats up and explodes. After
veterans started growing unstable and exploding, their deaths were used
to cover up Extremis' flaws by manufacturing a terrorist plot. Stark
witnesses Extremis firsthand when Mandarin agents Ellen Brandt and Eric Savin attack him.
With Harley's help, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami. Stark
infiltrates the headquarters using a variety of home-made weapons.
Inside he discovers the Mandarin is actually a British actor named
Trevor Slattery, who is oblivious to the acts the Mandarin has carried
out. The Mandarin is a creation of Killian, who appropriated Maya's
Extremis research as a cure for his own disability and expanded the
program to include injured war veterans. Killian reveals he is the true
Mandarin and has kidnapped Potts and subjected her to Extremis,
intending to infuse her with superhuman abilities and turn her against
Stark as leverage to gain Stark's aid in fixing Extremis's flaws.
Killian has also manipulated American intelligence agencies regarding the Mandarin's location, luring James Rhodes — the former War Machine, now rebranded as the Iron Patriot
— into a trap to steal the armor. Stark escapes his captivity and
reunites with James, discovering that Killian intends to attack
President Ellis aboard Air Force One.
Remotely controlling his Iron Man armor, Stark saves the surviving
passengers and crew but cannot stop Killian from abducting Ellis. They
trace Killian to an impounded oil drilling platform where Killian
intends to kill Ellis on live television. The vice president will become
a puppet leader, following Killian's orders in exchange for Extremis to
cure a little girl's disability.
On the platform, Stark goes to save Potts, and James saves the
President. Stark summons each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely
by JARVIS, to provide air support. James secures the President and
leads him to safety, while Stark discovers Potts has survived the
Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses
around them and she falls to her apparent death. Stark is forced into
confronting Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit that
self-destructs, but fails to kill him. Potts, whose Extremis powers
allowed her to survive her fall, intervenes and finishes Killian once
and for all.
After the battle, Stark orders JARVIS to destroy each Iron Man suit
remotely, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Potts. The
Vice President and Slattery are arrested. Potts undergoes surgery to
remove Extremis, and Stark to remove the shrapnel embedded near his
heart. He pitches his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he
will always be Iron Man, even without his armor.
Nowadays everyone is looking for ways on how to saved. No matter is anyone's life status whether a blue or white collar also into saving any sum can saved as much as possible. Life now is about securing specially in terms of money.Like any other common people, I am also one of them. I find ways how can save from my earnings. Most of our necessities if only we can cut out or reduce the usage to save we will. Good thing good company's exists and is adjusting to consumers needs is easily can be seen in the market.
Telecommunication today is not a luxury anymore like the old days. That only who can afford can have some. It is now a big necessity. A necessity that everyone in every age must have. There were lots of promotional offers that different companies spread all through media but the only one that fits exactly to my needs, budget and good service provider is Sun Cellular. It is the most affordable and flexible plan I've ever tried. I've been with the competitors but services and hidden charges ranging more of what I am expecting unto my bill. Bills will only make me have a heart attack whenever I received them and undying argument on customer service who can't explain the overlapping charges.
Why Sun Cellular Plan 600 and Plan 999 is The Good Choice in Postpaid?
Plan 600 is composed of the following inclusions which is really helpful and budget friendly.
I 've never imagine that this amazing phone would come from LG. I can say that they are giving good competencies lately in our mobile phone industry, in terms of features of course. But following the thread of smartphones, I really never thought that having a dual core processor on a phone just like a high-end laptop or desktop computer would come from this brand and make this O2x gain a monster record in Guinness as "The First DualCore Smartphone".
Since cellphones has been introduced in the market, I always give an eye to the latest. But would anyone be contented by just merely seeing the phone in pictures or in videos? Maybe them but not me, LOL, so I try to sacrifice something or take a little from my savings to have it. In this way, I can compare and differentiate their peculiarity one from the other aside from the fact that I enjoy exploring their assets and flaws.
Once saw this LG Optimus 2X(O2x for short and that 2x stands for dual core processor I think), from a flyer while strolling in the mall with huny, got really amazed for its specs and features. I can't help but to stare every corner of the phone printed on the leaflet with 3D effect, looks really powerful and real smart.
After research and pondering on some instances(budget is the main of course) about this piece of technology, I finally decided to include it in our budget and get one sooner. I am patiently contenting myself with a low-end phone that I'm currently using because I'm still undecided what model and brand to buy for, but not until now. I lined up many choices but this phone really rocks in terms of everything, and I mean "everything"!
I'll tell you the real score and probably you'll understand the pointers that makes a smartphone a genius phone ;
NOTE: MOST OF THE WORDS SEEMED TO BE UNFAMILIAR OR NEW TO OTHERS THAT MAY PASS BY, FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING I INCLUDED THE DEFINITIONS OF SOME WORDS REDIRECTED TO WIKIPEDIA (thanks WIKI).
1.) Tegra2 chipset - a powerful dual-core ARM with 1Ghz speed, I really can't imagine that, plus the GeForce graphics(powered by NVIDIA) which is very familiar to me in terms of desktop and laptop computer with its stunning display, quality and performance especially in the world of gaming.
Benchmark Test sample via Quadrant(picked from YouTube)
2.) 4-inch IPS LCD(In-Plane Switching) capacitive touchscreen -super vibrant and crystal-like display, very nice colour, better viewing angles, battling with iPhone4's retina display and others' AMOLED/Super AMOLED display, I suggest you to have one and get ready to be stunned by this feature!
3.)Whooping 8megapixel camera and HD video recording - a digicam always ready on your hand or in your pocket, you'll surely don't miss any happy moments with you and with anyone else especially bloggers like us. Maybe it would have been much better if LG bundled it with aXenon flash, that would create a perfect phone. haha, LOL, that's too much to ask for. Another thing is the super-cool 1080p/720p HD video recording. When we talk about 1080p/720p resolution it signifies high-definition television(HDTV) like 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio making a resolution of 1,920pixels wide by 1,080 high, it's also tagged as FullHD, a really plus factor for the genius O2x.
Here's a sample pictures taken from O2x(courtesy of GSMArena) Click pictures to view its finest!
and here's the 1080p video pride of O2x(picked from YouTube)

4. HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface) port - in line with the FullHD video recording feature, this is also one factor that this O2x has to boast off. It enables your device to connect to your PC, LCD monitor, TV or any device with compatible port, with this you can watch movies, play games and manage datas on your O2x baby in a high-definition way. :-)
This is a clear sample of how this HDMI port works(courtesy of PhoneArena)
5.) Threaded messaging - not all phones have this feature, just like having a continuous conversation(chatting) with your friend, no cuts, no interruption. You don't have to go back manually to inbox, outbox, sent items. This help lessen "out of this world" replies, wrong sent and frequently asked "hu u?!"(right?!). Whew, messaging made really easier.
6.) Android OS powered by Google - and lastly the very thing that this o2x made genius, the Android operating system. We can't deny that this OS is one of the most advanced as of today. With its very friendly user interface and market full of free and useful applications any phone can be genius, perfect pair with LG O2x making it real hardcore in the business.

*** OS highlights based on my Android experience(with HTC Wildfire); - tethering mode - you can use your O2x as a modem to connect through the internet if you don't have ISPs at home or you can also pair this O2x to your laptop and connect anywhere, anytime. - WI-FI hotspot - you can use your phone as a Wi-Fi router, share your internet connection to your friends and family. They can easily connect to your phone, enjoy Facebook, Twitter, or Blog together with the help of your genius O2x. - Adobe flashplayer 10.+ support -flashplayer is very important when it comes to browsing and surfing the net. When you're on YouTube you need flash, when opening website with graphics you need flash, when playing games on your browser it also needs flash. So, see how important this thing is? I think apple iPhones and various models don't support this one, a very lucky O2x . - open market - this thing killed the Nokia's ovi and Apple's store, android market is open-source and UNIX based, you can download applications and games for free, yes for free you heard it right, really a 10 times advantage.
By the way, Lg Optimus 2X comes with Android 2.2 Froyo and can be upgraded to 2.3 Gingerbread which can make your device more powerful. Nice deal, right?!
Here's the link (credits to the creator) for details if you want to learn more about Android OS;
So, do you think I would regret this genius choice?!
Hmm..
How about it's pricing and value?! Actually, compared to the other high-end and latest phone out in the market today, this O2x is not too pricey or expensive rather, with its features and elegant design this would probably a good buy for everyone. And of course, everyone also has second choice in mind when all else fails, right?! So, if my budget won't allow me for that O2x, I'll surely choose it's brother, the LG Optimus Black. Same elegance, same feature, and same greatness from the same reliable brand (LG, of course). Just a very little drawback I noticed was it has 5megapixel camera compared to 8megapixel O2x has, but still competes with other rivalries. Not a dual-core one, but still runs on 1Ghz processor which is still an advantage compared to other smartphones. It also runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, still it makes a smartphone a "genius" phone. One aspect this phone brags about is it's 4-inch NOVA display, clearest and brightest as stated by others, gives a natural experience reading your messages, emails and browsing the net. It may be also one of the thinnest phone out there today.
Lets take a last glance with "The Brothers" tag team in business and decide also for yourself.

A title of a noon time show right?! It's actually an expression of gladness. The same way I felt when I received an email from Trixie of Nuffnang. I never expects, as what I have mentioned I am not fortunate in promotions/ contests. Thank God, me with hubby and some friends can join in the first Nuffamily day! Though it has been cancelled because of the bad weather, I am still looking forward for this adventure re-scheduled on the 4th of June.
Currently a dear friend that going with me in this event facing a big problem. It was a good news for her when I told her that we belong to the list that we can join the family day. I feel great that I somehow cease what she's suffering by giving her this good news and including her to my list that I wanna be with.
I am so excited for this day to come, to enjoy with friends and hubby. I wish there'll be no hassle came in the way for it be finally pushed through.
Why do I love nuffnang?.. I registered as a member here at Nuffnang years ago. I can say am not always as fortunate as others when it comes to contest.I already accepted that long ago when I was still a child. There were no such word as luck but instead a deserving ones. I always join contests here at nuffnang but never did I won. Believe it or not I didn't take that against to hate nuffnang. In fact the more I lose , the more I am eager to join more contests. It's simply because they did choose for the best. And that supports the fact that I need to improve more to be qualified for that best they chose. Nuffnang helps me to improve. Gives me ideas and opens opportunities. Other than that it gives me more information and updates. Also I love the way Nuffnang works. The way they held projects for a cause, a contest that has not only good prizes but benefits in life.
This 28th of May 2011 at 2 in the afternoon at Crosswinds Tagaytay will be the first Nuffamily Day here in the Philippines. I have already read about this kind of gathering from Nuffnang in other countries and I guess for this is the first here in the Philippines, well expect it to be a blast. Full of fun,enjoyment and not to mention prizes. This Nuffamily Day event will never be possible with some of the generous sponsors that supports Nuffnang. A special thanks to Pizza Hut, The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences, Bisolvon, NEO, Mister Donut, Skechers, Del Monte pineapple juice, Jack n Jill, Fit n Right,JAC Liner, Jollibee , Hapee.
For the nth time, I may not be lucky to qualify for the first Nuffamily Day, I am happy to share this to everyone that drops and passes by my blog. Cross my fingers and toes if fortunately this time I will be lucky, me, my hubby. A fellow blogger mommy Jean and also a blogger friend Ferry with her husband will loves to join the Nuffamily Day and will gonna bring our own transportation with a driver and another blogging friend. It's a total of 7 of us awaiting to be part of the Lifting lanterns this Nuffamily Day!
