Montecito: Resort & Casino, Las Vegas

When I first saw this show, I thought that the Montecito Resort & Casino was a real casino. I thought maybe it was new and it just recently started its operations. But when I searched it on the internet - my search came empty handed. No such casino exists!

When I visited Metrowalk last Friday, my Panget and I went to our friend Imma's suki for DVD's and while rummaging through her stacks of DVDs - I found the season 1-3 of Las Vegas (the series). At first, I was skeptical - but when I learned of the price of each DVD - I immediately handed it to Wheng (the nice lady who owns the stall) and I was really excited to watch it. As my Panget told me when we got to the car - 'May isang taong hindi na matutulog!' 'Someone's going to be up all night!' And he got it right - because I couldn't sleep!! I was hooked on watching it episode after episode. And last night - at about 2:00am I finished the first season's finale - and to top it off, I saw at least 3 more episodes of the 2nd season! Yes, I am hooked on this show and tonight after gym - I will go and watch this till the wee hours of the night!

The cast is headed by the veteran James Caan - Mr. Sonny Corleone himself! It was like going back to his roots! Sans too much drama - he was also funny in some of his movies! Despite age - Jimmy Caan exudes the same passion in acting - like when he was younger! He's still very very good!

I first saw Josh Duhamel in the movie 'Win a Date with Tad Hamilton' co-starring Kate Bosworth and Topher Grace( I love him too!) To be honest, I never liked Josh Duhamel - but after watching the first season- he grows on you - now I find him irrisistingly adorable!! A sudden change huh?! Well, attribute it to finishing 1 whole season in just 2 days! Haha!! Well, he's really bagay/'fit' with the role - I can't imagine someone else who'll fit perfectly!

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
