Movie Review: Management (Jenifer Aniston)n

My husband and I watched Jennifer Aniston's new movie - MANAGEMENT 2 nights ago at the Shangrila Cineplex. I went inside the movie house with my hopes up because I picked it over Kimmydora, which I really hoped I did watch.
But anyway, you can say that we had the misfortune of watching this *$%@$ ing movie over any film. You see folks, there's really nothing, I mean nothing...nada in this movie that's worth anything. I mean I wouldn't even see it if someone paid me to watch it again. It's a real waste of time and energy, really.
Realizing it's crap took me about 5 minutes into the movie. So, you were wondering, why the hell did I bother watching it or even think about considering it? well, for one, I am, I mean I was a Jen Aniston fan because I was a big "Friends" fan. And two, I really thought she's picked up from where she left of after "Breaking up" with Vince Vaugh. But she's now it's obvious that she's still struggling and now I'm really convince she's had it. Poor Rachel, I mean Jennifer. Anyway, here are my bullet points of things I hate about the movie.
- Steve Zahn is really ugly...I mean really ugly. Even for the character that I think meant the leading man to be homely. To top that, his acting was hideous. He thinks he can pull of a Steve Carell, but he's way off the mark. Playing dumb isn't so easy as it seems, ey Steve?
- This film made Jen Aniston, 10 years older than she is. She looked tired and really ancient. Gosh, her botox lines were shouting from the screen. Poor Rachel...
- The story was supposed to be funny? I don't think so. The adjective dragging is an understatement. It felt like it might have taken years to finish this movie. Pacing was off track, I think I might have dozed off in the middle there...or was it my hubby. I was sure I heard some snoring, though.
- About the script...I'm really not sure if the movie had a script to begin with.
- Other actor? The Chinese guy might have pulled it off, but since he only appeared on the latter part of the movie and only for a bit, his presence was missed on the rest of the film. I don't think it was his acting, it's probably the fact that it had something to do with Chinese. Whatever it was for, I totally missed it.
End verdict, no star at all. I feel bad for Jen Aniston because of this movie. I sure hope the guys from Friends would reconsider the movie reunion to save whatever is left of Jen's career after this movie.

Retirement in the Philippines: Going against the grain

I started to think about retirement at age 36.  I don't know why but it was then that I realized that despite my good prospects for promotion in the near future and my steady stream of income from the investments that we were making, I just knew then that I needed to start my journey to financial stability and security.   My son and my youngest was less than a year old then.  I computed in my mind that when he reached college at 18 years old, I would be around 55 years old by then.  I was unsure what I'd be by then.  Would I still be healthy enough to work?  Would we have enough savings to make sure that he has money for a decent college to go to?  Would he be intelligent enough to make it to UP to enjoy free tuition?  It was unsettling.  I felt I had to do something.  And so I realized that I wasn't even talking about retirement.  I was just thinking about Sam's college really.   So it was then that I made my big leap to get a VUL.  I did not know much about it then bu

What makes a good Financial Advisor?

If you're my age, you've more likely come across an Insurance Agent or Financial Advisor from among the popular insurance companies in the Philippines.  Most of them claim to be able to advise you on investment portfolios that you may want to buy or avail for yourself.  They would often ask you first about your investment capacity or the amount that you are willing to invest whether monthly or one-time and then move into presenting you a proposal based on that alone.   Based on my experience on investments, the best kind of advisors are those that are concerned with the end goal rather than what you'd like to give up from your disposable income.  Normally, when you ask people about how much they would like to invest, they would normally just let you know how much extra extra money they have or what they usually have left after a payroll cutoff.  If you let people do that, chances are you'd end up getting lose changes as investment funds.  There lies the disconnect usual

Investing in real estate in the time of COVID

Investing in real estate (condo and house and lot) in the time of COVID As a real estate researcher, I've read and navigated through a lot of information and data to analyze and provide insights to our company leaders about industry trends.  Off work, many of my friends also ask me for advise when it comes to decisions about real estate.  To buy or not to buy this property, to sell or not to sell at this price, to rent out long or short term, house and lot or condo , and other related queries about what to do with their money and property.  I almost always suggest to keep it simple and logical.  If it does not add up and you have an inch of a doubt about it, then don't do it.  However, there are also signals that should not be ignored.  This is especially true in periods when demand presets supply.  The worst case scenario for a buyer/investor is to see a property be sold out just when you've decided to buy it and then see it appreciate exponentiall
