Rush Hour 3

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker did it again. My friend is a big fan of Jackie Chan so we watched the movie together. We have watched Rush Hour 1 and 2 before, though the story lines are basically the same, you still would want to watch. First because of Chris Tucker’s humor that never fails to make people laugh. I cannot stop laughing whenever he start singing and dancing. The bar scene where Chris and Jackie sang is perhaps, one of the movie’s comedy highlights.

Another great thing about the movie is that it was shot mostly in Paris, France, so we also get a glimpse of this great city.

Debts & Credits

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Buying your dream television, a house, or a car requires a great amount of cash. Sometimes, the much loathed gadget can also be expensive that most of us do not have enough money to buy them in cash. However, there are also times when though we have enough cash to pay for what we want, it is hard to let go of such a big amount for something we really want. The amount can sometimes be really huge that it will create a big dent in our savings. So, instead of getting the money from our bank account, we chose to just use of credit card or apply for a loan. In this way, we still have our savings and the things we want. Some credit cards offer a 0% interest for deferred payments of up to 12 months. Some even give freebies when you buy something.

Finding the right credit card, auto loan, mortgage loan, or personal loan could be a difficult choice sometimes. All of them seem to offer something really great that is hard to refuse. To do so, it will be best to get feedback from your friends who are already using it. Research the internet and try to see the comments people have on the company or credit card you want. Try to check if they have hidden charges, additional fees, etc.

I think the single best thing that cards offer is the 0% or low interest deferred payment schemes. In this way, you don’t create a big hole in your pocket and still be able to purchase what you want or what you need.
