Transformers: Age of Extinction (I can't even)

Image
In keeping with my tradition to write endless reviews after really awesome Transformers movies (wait, I've only written one), I have decided to spoil anyone who reads this who haven't seen the movie yet (because I'm that kind of person). This movie's cast includes Max Payne Really annoying teenage daughter Ed Sheeran and Caesar Flickerman  Also starring the voices of Eeyore Scooby-Doo Fred Flintstone Ra's Al Ghul and one of the Stabbington brothers ( Tangled ) What I remember of the almost three-hour movie Basically the humans are hunting the robots. And if in the first warning you didn't get it, I'm saying it again: SPOILER ALERT. But the humans aren't the only ones. Apparently, Lockdown, this really cool bot whose alternate is a Lamborghini (a really sleek and sexy and contoured and downright awesome  car), was sent to earth to clean up the mess the Autobots and Decepticons caused. You know, like the mess in Chicago four y

Fashion Confined: Detachable Collars

Image
I'm a noob at this fashion trend and I'm embarrassed to say that I've only found out about it last month. I was looking through Camille Co's blog  one very boring day and was attracted to a certain outfit she had on (I'll post the photo if I can find it). The detachable collar seemed to seamlessly blend in with, what, her skin? No, I don't mean it was the same color as her neck but she was wearing a tube dress (what do you call that anyway?) and there's no way the collar was attached to the dress so it must be...detachable! duh. (*update: found the picture!) From her Swanlake post Anyway, soon enough I saw that many of her outfit posts included detachable collars and when I started browsing through other fashion blogs, I saw that I may be the last one to find out about the trend. (Then when I wore my DIY collar to an event they were amazed...apparently I'm not the last one to find out about it. Yey!) So, when I decided I wanted in with the tre

So Sunny Singapore - USS

Image
Nothing completes a vacation in Singapore than a trip to it's newly opened Universal Studios Singapore! It was timely for us because the day before our scheduled trip to USS was the grand opening date. That only meant that the place was spruced up and ready for everyone's entertainment. Therefore, the moment we arrived, the theme park was set to bring us into another world. Now there are several things you should remember before going to this theme park: If you have the time, browse their website and go through the park map. It's very helpful to plan your trek ahead so you don't waste too much time thinking of which ride to go next or where the restrooms are. Wear something comfortable. If you like walking in 3-inch heels for the whole day (probably running at some point) then that's certainly okay. But if you're more comfortable in rubber shoes or slippers, that would be best as there will be a whole lot of pavement to go through to make the trip
