May 19 Long weekend: On Fri. I came home from work and watched the movie Skyfall on dvd. My sister
borrowed it from the library and I finally saw it. It was good with the story and action.
On Sat. I worked at the restaurant in the morning. It was busy with only 2 bussers including me. I then spent time
reading the newspapers outside in my backyard.
Shopping: Today is Sun. and I also worked in the morning until like 12:45pm.
Chapters:
I then did a little shopping like I went to Chapters at West Ed
mall. There are bookmarks that are like $3.99. There are cheaper
bookmarks like $1.99, but the thing is, it's just some decorative paper
to place inside a book. I also found some really nice leather,
made-in-Italy journals that are $28-$45. I don't like buying really
nice notebooks and stationary, even when it's
from the $1 store.
I think it's a waste of money to buy paper. I
have all this computer scrap paper from my sister, and I write on the
back of it from scripts, script ideas, notes to put on the fridge, or
notes when I watch a movie.
I also don't like buying really nice
gel pens. I would buy a pack of 10 Bic pens for $3 because it will
last longer. Also if you lose one, you're not going to be really mad
about it because it's so cheap.
That store has a lot of home decor and kitchenware.
Date:
I also met up with a guy there. The date was okay. He showed up on
time. We talked and walked around the mall for about an hour. We got
along and got to know what our interests are in TV shows, what we plan
to do in the future, our goals.
Target: We did go to
Target. I finally entered the store. It's a lot of red and white like
Zellers. There were even
self-check out lines like those at Safeway. My brother and sister said
it was like Wal- Mart, nothing special. I did read in the business
section of the newspaper that Wal -Mart is losing money because of "the
Target effect."
This store sells clothes, cards, and a small
section for groceries. There is a home decor part that really reminded
me of Winners. The Target carts are big and red plastic so that was
kind of different. Other than that, Target wasn't really different. It
was like a mix of all these other stores that I just mentioned.
Music video: This
reminds me of the music video "Up Out My Face" by Mariah Carey ft.
Nicki Minaj. This was back in 2010, and there were Youtube comments
saying: "This looks like an ad for Target." If you watch the video,
it's all red and white.
This was before they did American Idol as judges. I'm sure all of you heard the rumors
that don't get along on the show. It could be rumors or it could be true. I don't know.

May 20 Bebe:
I also want to add I saw the store Bebe at WEM has gone through
renovations. It used to be a big store, but now they made it smaller,
like it's half the size it was. It's good to make the store smaller so
they can fill the store with clothes, because when it was twice the size
it was, there was so much empty space.
Skyfall: Here is the movie review I wrote and submitted to The Golden Vanguard.
Skyfall
By Tracy Au
This is an action-packed movie with car chases through
crowded streets, riding over rooftops and through the windows, running in train
stations, shoot outs, and impressive fight scenes and stunts. This isn’t just a movie filled with
explosions and exotic locales like islands and Shanghai;
there is actually a well- developed story weaved in it.
James Bond (Daniel Craig) is on a mission where lives are at
stake when a hard drive of all MI6 operatives on it is stolen. M (Judi Dench) has hired a new agent Eve
(Naomie Harris) and tech guy Q (Ben Wishaw) to help Bond fight the villain
Silva (Javier Bardem). Silva is from M’s past and wants to commit revenge on
her by killing her operatives.
The director Sam Mendes brings his own style to this movie. Bond uses a creative and original way of
using a crane to make a hole in it get on a train. It was outlandish, yet believable.
The story does get darker as Silva tries to turn Bond
against M with how M treated Silva years ago.
He tempts Bond into working for him.
He is a very disturbing character.
They delve into Bond’s past and how he became a spy by going into his
childhood roots.
There is good suspense with scary, life-threatening
situations through out it. It’s
unpredictable and you never now where the fight will take you. If you like James Bond or action movies, this
one’s for you.
Season of the Witch: I saw this movie last month on TV. I'm also submitting this to the Golden Vanguard.
Season of the Witch
By Tracy Au
This is about two 14th century knights Behmen
(Nicolas Cage) and Felson (Ron Pearlman) who arrive at a town that is suffering
from the Black Plague. The King asks
them to go to the monastery to get a book to kill the Black Witch. Initially they refuse and are thrown in
prison. They then meet the Girl (Claire
Foy) who is accused of being a witch.
Behman agrees to the King’s order, in exchange the Girl gets
a fair trial. They, a young wannabe
knight Kay (Robert Sheehan), Preist Debelzaq (Stephen Campbell Moore), a couple
of other men join in on the journey.
This is an adventure movie with a little horror thrown
in. It’s a little scary with a few
points that made me jump when people are supposed to be dead or asleep, and
they wake up. There is suspense and
action as they encounter challenges on the journey. They mystery builds up to ask: “Is she or isn’t
she a witch?”
It has got style, but not a lot of substance. The landscapes of mountains are forests are shot
beautifully. There is high production value
and good special effects with the battlefield
scenes and sword fights.
This is an average movie, until the last 30 minutes, there
is a thrilling plot twist when they arrive at their destination.
Prom surprise: I
found this on Yahoo news. It's where NFL player Dwyane Wade surprises a
fan Nicole Muxo at her prom. A few months prior to it, she made a
Youtube video asking him to be her prom date. Then at prom, he calls
her on the phone and then he enters it. There is a 3min video of it.
That is so cool and exciting to meet one of your favorite celebrities.
I'm not a fan of NFL, but I thought it was a really cool video. He seems so nice to take time out to surprise a fan.
May 30 The Listener: The Listener season 4 premiere was on last night. All of you need to watch it on CTV on Wed. nights.
