Avengers Assemble

THE AVENGERS ASSEMBLE KICKED ASS!
Avengers Assemble. Ain't it obvious how The Hulk is the protagonist? I know they're all are but come on, The Hulk pretty much made dominated the film's amazingness. The amazing thing is he didn't even appear much but he still stole the limelight (in my opinion). Don't you think so? If you wanna share your opinion, then feel free to leave a comment underneath. 
Wow. This film exceeded my expectations. It was definitely worth all the hype! 
All characters were amazing but my favourite character has got to be the Hulk. SUCH A LOVABLE CREATURE and yet he's got this dark side of him. I think this is the reason why I adore him so much because I can relate to him. The uses and gratification theory argues that 'audience needs have social and psychological needs which generate certain expectations about the mass media.' In Avengers Assemble, I can relate to Hulk in association of the need for social and self identity because I find reinforcement for his personal values. This simply means that I can see some similarities between myself and his characters. Do you think you do too? I'll let you be the judge of that. Also, he may be mad all the time but he only means well, we all know he's got a good heart. Another thing that makes him lovable is the use of humour towards his character. For those who has seen it will know what I'm talking about. As much as I wanna talk about my favourite scenes, I don't wanna spoil it to those who hasn't seen it yet :P 

Moreover, I would also like to say kudos to the beautiful black widow. There's only one word to describe Scarlet Johansson as black widow, and that word is SEXY. That part is intended to Scarlet and Scarlet only. SHE WAS AWESOME!   
Let's go Avengers!
Holding my large popcorn and Fanta. Brother wanted me to blurred him out due to his silly expression. lol.

Avengers were amazing! I WILL NOT GET TIRED OF SAYING THIS!
Hi Avengers :)

Little Ceana's First Visit

It was Sunday when the Figueroa's cute little Ceana had her first visit at our house! Not only I got to see her cute self, but it ended up as a wonderful get together with the whole family, along with the aunties and uncles.  Yes, I say 'LITTLE GET TOGETHER', but in our house, a little get together always turns into a feast hence never underestimate the food and the dishes that we randomly come up with! Well, not me entirely but my parents and my aunties. Why don't you scroll down and check some photos?
Here's my very first picture with Ceana! She looks so cute in her little, purple dress and here white headband with a little ribbon is adorable!
Our first dish! Tita Jean's spaghetti with garlic bread - Classic combo! This dish reminded me of the Philippines because it tasted like Jollibee! I'm not even exaggerating! She said all the ingredients she used were from the Filipino store. So I was like 'ahhhh I get it now!' It was really yummy :)
Here's my bit! HEARTY HEARTY PORTION :) Pardon my big appetite.
A piece of Brazo de Mercedes, made by auntie Tina :) One of my favourite Filipino desserts.
Our second meal: Beef adobo and Plain sticky rice :)
For our last meal, we had pork and chicken BBQ, which was prepared by tito Mauro, mama, and I (but it was tito Mauro who did most of the work) Check out some more photos!
BBQ with tito Mauro and mama :)
Pardon my outfit, it was a cold and cosy day so I didn't really bother. Noticed that my cardi and socks have the same polka-dot patterns? I know, how nerdy :P 
Pork and chicken BBQ. Yummy in my tummy.
Overall, it was one chilled-out Sunday! A mixture of funny and serious conversations, never-ending laughter and amazing food! What else can you ask for? We truly are blessed so let's never forget to always pray and thank God :)
