Why did I get Married Too?

I saw this movie, and enjoyed every moment of it. The cast was amazing, and Tyler Perrys’ work continues to get better and better.

Tasha Smith, Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Tyler Perry and cast are amazing, the script was vibrant, alluring, funny as heck, while making you cry.

The movie was based on real life situations in marriage regarding love, trust and fidelity across all culture lines, although a black cast. The men were real, and the women were as real as the sisters I see and talk with every day. The script showed the ups and downs in marriage and how it can affect each person personally on different levels when you put your heart in it and decide to make that big step.

I like how the relationships in this movie showed the good in relationships as well as the bad. Truly people can and will show you so many levels of who they truly are when put in a situation. And this movie has shown those different levels of characters through divorce in Patricia and Gavin’s relationship when it comes to money and the lost of trust when cheated on in Angela and Marcus’ relationship.

Why did I get Married Too? was fun, compassionate, intense and a loving story about life when married. I enjoyed laughing and crying in the movie theater with the rest of the movie watchers. The end story was not something I would have predicted but continued to keep us on our toes in wondering what’s next? “TRILOGY!”

Tyler Perry has done it again, and I look forward to more of his work in the future.

Health Care Reform Supporter, Why?

I appreciate the congress and house pushing forward this new health care reform bill, because I believe it will reduce the country’s deficit and bring forth jobs in immense proportions.

The bill guarantees affordable health care for all Americans and allow Americans the ability to see doctors on a routine, this will decrease the number of Americans visiting emergency rooms and save the country billions on excessive use of funds.

The health care reform bill will open job opportunities in many different fields, because of the great demand it will put on health services (i.e. doctors, nurses, equipment). It will reduce the deficit by trillions and bring America more closer to a surplus as we were once before.

This is why I believe republicans are not supporting this measure, because a measure like this can move the country forward in the right direction of change.

So, I am grateful that President Barack Obama and the senate have carried out something different from the norm. The bottom line is, if you want to see something different you have to do something different and this is what this administration has proven to Americans through its actions.

“Crustaceans” …more like “Crusty Crab!”

We visited one of the An Family Restaurants last night “Crustaceans”. Crustaceans prides itself in the many celebrities which visits its restaurant. I just hope they get better service than what the common person gets.

For a beautiful location in Beverly Hills off Santa Monica Blvd, it has a soothing atmosphere with fish tank in the floor, gorgeous colorful Vietnamese culture with a twist of French colonialism. It was simply beautiful, and when you walked in, there was a feeling of welcome.

But it was a waste of our 1hr 15 minute drive and the $300+ we paid for the meal.

We had friends who were there 15 minutes before we came in  and they still were not served anything but water. The server never offered or recommended any appetizers. There was no bread brought to the table or offered. By the time we got there (addition to the party) we sat there another 10 to 15 minutes before anyone asked if they could help us.

The menu was full of delectable choices that simply melt in your mouth while reading the menu. However, whats written in the menu is not what you’ll truly getting or what you imagine you’re gonna get. The quality of service was poor and the portions were small, not worth the $$ they’re asking for.

I ordered from the appetizer list (what they call Asian Tapas) the ”Crustacean Surf & Turf Roll – Grilled Steak, coconut prawn, shiitake mushrooms, avocado, cilantro, spicy aioli, garlic lime drizzle”. It wasn’t totally bad, but with the list you would think you’re getting a full plate that would feed at least two. NOT!

What you get is 5 small sushi rolls with all of those items mentioned inside. I was surprised, almost had them take it back because I wasn’t sure that it was what I ordered, but it was. The flavor wasnt’ too bad, the steak was chewy. I was amissed by the term “Surf & Turf”.

On to the next item 10 minutes later, we’re still awaiting the waiter to take our order and finally he comes to take our order, never recommending any thing to us nor giving us a list of specials.

Maybe it was our waiter.

We spoke to the manager (who was flirting with a friend since she got there) who was acting as if he could help us and would get us better service. We were feeling unfortunate for being there by this time. We asked if we could get some bread on the table and maybe some better service,  because we had driven so far and we were hungry. He was a bit apologetic and stated he would take care of us. After spending $30 in Asian Tapas, we were told that there was a larger platter that we should have gotten, but of course we were not told.

One of the items we ordered was the ”Collossal Royal Tiger Prawns, charbroiled with An’s Famous Garlic Noodles”, we would swear those were ramen noodles.

I can go on further about the many disappointments we felt while sitting in Crustaceans, but I think and hope you got the picture.
