By next week, me and my officemates are scheduled to have our teambuilding activity  in La Union, at this time we are cramming for swimming/wake/surf gear. A few days back, we got curious when we saw a tarpaulin about Stoked Inc. warehouse sale, unfortunately the promo ended last February. So yesterday, we've decided to drop by that nearby warehouse here in Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong to see if there are still supplies (particularly rash guards) that remain from the sale. What we saw was more like Stoked Inc.'s office because there is just a small space where they have display of their items for sale. They also distribute brands such as RipCurl, Billabong, Hurley, CWB Board Co.. Although the price is slightly lower than mall price, there are only few choices unlike in their mall branches where you can choose different colors for gear/clothes.

Since we haven't found what we are looking for in Stoked, in the same compound is the showroom of Regalong Pambahay, we also checked if there are good finds. It is spacious and there are so many items to choose from like accessories, bags, pillows, cabinets, home decors, etc., slightly lower than their mall prices. It can be a haven for home decorators, interior designers and craftsmen.

World War Z
Paramount Pictures


Rating: ★★★★★

When I first heard about this movie, i thought it was an action film that would bore me and just because it was Brad Pitt in the lead role so I must watch. Before we head to the cinema, I've been reading a lot of tweets and FB posts that it is such a good film so those convinced me to watch. At the very start of the movie, the character of Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane was shown as a family man, with wife and two kids, both girls. He was so handsome with his long blonde hair and clear blue eyes. Then came the zombie outbreak... yes.., at the beginning of the movie it was already full of suspense and thrill. Those who were bitten by zombies will become one as well in a matter of 8 seconds. Gerry's journey began when he needs to find a cure to the pandemic and discovered that a 'camouflage' was the answer. He found out that the zombies only feed on healthy human bodies and ignore people with deadly disease. In the end, a vaccine with deadly but curable pathogens were developed and was injected to the people and to the troops that are battling against the mass of zombies.

Although there were lots of zombie apocalypse movies out there, I still find this one enjoyable and thrilling because it has a different story. Plus factor is that Gerry Lane is such an ideal husband and father, who will do everything for the sake of his family.
