Review: Jurassic World



The sci-fi adventure film, Jurassic Park comes back with its fourth installment, Jurassic World. Twenty-two years after the events on JP, Isla Nublar now has a fully functional dinosaur theme park; with all kinds of facilities and attractions... which includes by the way.. Rexy the T-Rex from the first three movies (finally they managed to handle the dinos while ensuring the people's safety... or so we think). However, ten years after the park first opened to the public, they are beginning to  experience decline in visitor rates. And so.. they came up with this crazy idea of creating a genetically modified dinosaur using multiple  strand of genes from different predatory animals, to re-spark the people's interest once again. Seriously? have we not learned anything from the previous movies? Why a predator?

So.. the movie begins with these two kids going on a trip to the island where their aunt works. But she is too busy with her work to look after them so she had someone else accompany them. The boys enjoy the park including their visit with Rexy while their Aunt Claire is very busy recruiting new investors and the introduces the Indominus Rex. She calls the Owen Grady, a Velociraptor trainer to inspect this new specie before opening up her exhibit to the public. Owen then warns her that I-rex is dangerous since it never socialized with other dinosaurs. And it appeared he was right after this clever creature managed to escape and started terrorizing the island (when will they learn their lesson?) only to be finally stopped by Blue, one of Owen's raptors and Rexy who was obviously not happy with having a new dino take his place as the antagonist. (yey Rexy!)



I'd say.. Jurassic World is great. Not to mention the CGI dinos are good too. The makers of this film taught us once again to not meddle too much with mother nature's works or we suffer the consequences in the future. With the Indominus Rex symbolizing humans' desire for more even though everything we have is already within our reach, it leaves a lesson that our own excessive desires could destroy us. That's a pretty good lesson don't you think? Not to mention many people of this age is never satisfied and they want a faster, louder, stronger, and bigger dinosaur to fulfill their desires.

"Should I watch Jurassic World?" - I'd say Yes! It's pretty good ;) Cheer for Rexy who saved the day! <3 She finally did something good after all these years.

"What should I look forward to while watching the film?" -- Uhm... when I wast watching, I was pretty occupied with figuring out that species were used to create the Indominus Rex lol. Even though some species were mentioned, there are a lot that remained untold and is up to the viewer to figure if out.

5 Things Why Having a Childhood Friend Rocks! (A reply to the Fabulous Ostrich)

So.. for my first blog entry after my comeback, I present my version of The Fabulous Ostrich's blog post "5 Things Why Having a Childhood Friend Rocks!" And as I am feeling lazy to edit photos at this hour, I will be using some of her images! (excuse me for doing so my dear friend haha!)


Guess what..I am posting this exactly one month after she wrote this entry so happy one month to her post (^-^)/*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
She created the blog entry some weeks before graduation. Who would have thought the person I would be with during my college graduation is the same person I was with during my grade school. Now that we are officially fresh graduates, we still plan to stay in touch and do things together. Yes, with a 14 year friendship it is quite difficult to separate us. We are always together that all we need is a ring and one roof to live in :3
Grade School Days

Finally got our diplomas!


Let us begin! *insert sparkles here*

For some of those who have childhood friends like us, I bet you might agree with some of these:

1. Fights are almost impossible...

For being together that long, wouldn't it be a waste to ruin something so precious? Second, what is there to fight about anyway? We know almost everything about one another already that we can't even find something to argue about. And third, we are utterly immune to each other, one says something offensive, the other says something even more offensive, and we just laugh it off like we did not just try to insult one another.


2. Fangirling 101

We both flail over guys.. of course, we a girls after all. The only difference is, hers is 2D while mine is some idol who doesn't even know I exist. And we never had a problem with boys (as I have said earlier, we never fight), why? because our types are completely different. Also, there is this one specific senpai (senior) whom we both fangirl over with.... NOTICE US SENPAI!



3. Having one common enemy

It is automatic, if one of us gets an enemy, rest assured the other will come for support. If we were in the Hunger Games we'll definitely become partners targeting that one annoying tribute who keeps on chasing after us.



4. Time? What time?

NO... an entire day will never be enough for us to chat,  not even an entire month. We spent almost everyday of our lives talking, eating together, shopping together, and go home together. When we get home you may think we are already resting but nope.. nuh uh.. we are still online on our facebook accounts continuing our topic on the ride home.


5. FREE FOOD! 

If either one of us has extra cash in her wallet, and the other one is broke then worry not. Because we pay for each other's meal. Because our class ends at 6pm we often eat dinner in the nearby cafeteria or fastfood chain (ahem Mcdonald's ahem). If we're both broke then screw it! TO THE MASTER SIOMAI!


Of course, the best thing with having a childhood friend is having someone you can share your memories with. We may have graduated from college already and like it or not, we may part ways but all those time we shared will be forever engraved in time. AYAN MAY FOREVER HA! XD 

For the nth time congratulations to us! ^-^

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!
