Most amazing unknown movie



I recently watched a Japanese film made a few years ago called "Survive Style 5+".

Once I pressed play, I could not take my eyes off the screen. It is an engrossing and surreal film. It is a film where various stories intertwine ala "Crash". Except this movie is MUCH BETTER then "Crash" or "Magnolia" in my opinion.

It is very colorful, and full of magic. This is a unique film, in that it is A LOT FUN to watch. You never know what's going to happen next. It's a comedy, mixed with touching drama and hope.

My favorite ongoing story within this flick is the one between Aman and his wife. It is a story about a husband, who spontaneously felt the urge to kill his wife. The problem? His wife keeps coming back from the dead (in various costumes), to literally kick his ass.

The relationship and chemistry between these two characters is brought to a front, somewhere in the middle of the movie, where Aman seems to make a peace with his wife.

This is a must see movie.

Showing off my mama :)


My mother, Carmen, is quite possibly one of the best dressed mom's in the USA. It also doesn't hurt that she is very pretty and slim. However, her impeccable taste in fashion is probably one of the reasons she has become so successful with her new business. (A children's high end fashion line from Spain.)

I like to think that I also have good taste in clothing, and such. However, I have to give it up to my mom. She is the one who showed me how to look good and feel good about myself. She is still teaching me too.

She also has a knack for finding great things that you miss out on in stores.

She could easily replace Stacy London on "What Not to Wear".

Here I have posted an example of her great taste! I am not naming the designer of the dress, but it fits her like a glove.

She is turning 48 in September. Yeah, SHE IS 48....I know...(no surgery btw)

Where is the best ice cream in the World???



Some say Italy, others say Vermont...I say CROATIA!

Yes, Croatia.

In all my travels through Europe, Croatia's ice cream was the tops. I still can't get over the pure delicious creaminess that this ice cream provides. So much so, that I had to write about it.

I have no idea what they do to their ice cream, but I would like to find out! If anyone knows, please tell me!!!

Google has not helped.....*sigh*

That's a pic of my China doll cousin Lily, enjoying the best ice cream in the world! :)
