I’ve just watched Desperate Housewives Season 7 Episode 1 – what do you think of it so far?  bizarre right?  with Paul Young back and Lynette and her best buddy in town.  And Gabbie and Carlos’s daughter Wanita is not their real daughter.  Check out the sneak peek below.

I guess it is that time of the year again – with school starting, we see a lot of people hiring in our town – since the kids are back in school.  Some I know had gone back to school to get a better jobs.  Accounting jobs are what most people want to look for and get into – I know a friend’s wife who had been doing it for a long time – from home.   Just the other day – she had told me – she was ready to embark in a new career – as all her kids are in school and she wants a new job outta the house.   I can’t wait to my kids are all grown up – so that I can go out into the workforce and get a “real” job and make some money for my own.  In the meantime, I wished my friend’s wife best of luck – while I still can see what the market is offering and wait till my time comes.  New Job and a New Career – I am waiting for you!

Saint John Of Las Vegas is a really weird movie – if you asked me.  But I’m sure everyone have seen Steve Buscemi before – even though I won’t say he is a very popular actor.  But Steve Buscemi is John – a bad luck and once a upon a time complusive gambler – who moved away from Las Vegas – so that he won’t have to be lured into gambling again.   He now works with an auto insurance company and his only pleasure and impulsion are scratch tickets.

The show started with John buying lotto tickets for $1000 and his story begin with – him being sent to investigate a dubious car accident near Vegas.  Seeing an opportunity to get a promotion – he left after becoming involved with a strange co-worker – little did he know that his co-worker was working with Virgil to cheat the insurance company.   I think you will find the movie really strange – but i’ve seen worst – not suitable for kids – as there is nudity in it.   So here is a sneak preview of Saint John Of Las Vegas.

The girlfriend from here is moving to the city -  because she met someone in the city and she decided that it would be easier for her to get a job there than he here.  After all, she is in a specialized field and everyone need medical associates.  Thanks to medical job sites she was able to secure a job before moving.   The joy of the internet but of course  – also the joy of being in the right field of work.  Fortunate for her  I always tell her  – health/medical  industry is everywhere in the world and they are always short of staffing.   I too encouraged my children to go into the health industry because there are just so many choices when you are in the medical/health industry.  I’ve known of many – who are enjoying good pay and good hours  – if I could turn the clock back – I too want to be a dentist or a hygienist.

If you ar thinking that this is a remake of the earlier Robin Hood by Kevin Costner in 1991- then you are wrong  – this movie is nothing like the one Kevin Costner was in – this is The untold story behind the legend as it said in the rental box.   Starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchette  – Russell Crowe plays Robin Longstride – who at the end of the show – makes you realize how the name Robin Hood came about.  How Robin Hood became the enemy of the King – who hunted him down – because the King was a weakling and refuses to keep his promise after the people helped him fight against an uprising from the King of France.   A very interesting show !  although I didn’t think I would like it at first – it ended up pretty good.

I make the kids do community service around town – like what my parents and grandparents taught us to do.  When we were kids – we used to visit the blind and donate to the orphanage.  It helps us see other people with a different perspective and also show us how we should appreciate our lives.   So when my kids were old enough we visit the old folks home and the sick – because I want my children to learn compassion and also to help others.

My children also learned that those who are sick are very positive for their own future and thus – this brings a new light into their lives too.  We’ve visited those with cancer, leukemia, heart disease  and  malignant Mesothelioma .  There are times we just sit and read to them – and other times we bring a movie they want to see – and of course we sit and enjoy the movie with them.  A good movie brings them so much joy and one of my kids learned to be patient because of these weekly movie session, she also learned to appreciate other things because these sick folks are so spunky and my kid said to me one day – if they are so full of life – there is no reason why she cannot face school or her friends the same way.  Teenage years are hard – I’m just glad I was able to do these community work with my kids.
