World War Z: Another Brad Pitt Movie


World War Z is an upcoming post-apocalyptic horror film written by Matthew Michael Carnahan and directed by Marc Forster. This movie was based on the novel, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, writen by Max Brooks. It is a follow up on his first book titled, Zombie Survival Guide, a survival manual dealing with the fictional potentiality of a zombie attack.

Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, a worker at the United Nations, as he searches the world trying to find a way to stop the zombie outbreak that is defeating armies and collapsing governments as they try to prevent social collapse.

World War Z is a movie that portrays courage and survival of human race in the face of extinction in an enemy we called "living dead." The movie tell us how vulnerable we are and our ingenuity to defend and save our cities, towns and villages. The movie also give us insight into the key military strategies that will help us defend the world we live in. Unlike any other zombie movies, the enemy on this movie seemed impossible to stop.

It's one of the best Brad Pitt movies that is surely worth waiting at your favorite cinema set to be released on June 2013.

I have searched and compiled here some of the best Brad Pitt pictures taken from World War Z movies.
 
 
 

The trailer for World War Z started with a family stuck in city traffic playing "20 Questions." Then, out of nowhere, a policeman riding on motorcycles zoom through the stalled cars, taking side mirrors along with them. Helicopters and mysterious explosions create city-wide panic. An officer warns people to keep inside their cars, before getting hit by a garbage truck himself.

Watch the full-length trailer below:

 

The two-and-a-half-minute trailer reveals the mass hysteria surrounding the upcoming zombie apocalypse. And the courage and survival instinct of U.N. worker Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) to make sure his wife (Mireille Enos) and young daughters are safe. While their safety is threatened by fast-moving zombies the only thing they can do is run. The trailer captures the magnitude of this worldwide catastrophe as the human population takes a dramatic toll.

Is Brad Pitt old for this movie?


I don't think so. He is a perfect role for this movie as a father who will do anything to protect his family from any kind of enemy.

What do you think?

Is Call Center Service in the Philippines Nearing End?

Call Center Agents
Call Center Agents
It was a week ago when I got the chance to talk with a friend about his current job in Manila as call center agent. He said that his current employer, an outsourcing company based in the Philippines is much concerned about the reelection bid of President Barack Obama in the US presidential election.That if Obama wins, outsourcing jobs in our country like call center jobs is nearing end.

What is a call center?

According to Wikipedia, a call centre or call center is a centralised office used for the purpose of receiving or transmitting a large volume of requests by telephone. An inbound call centre is operated by a company to administer incoming product support or information inquiries from consumers. Outbound call centers are operated for telemarketing, solicitation of charitable or political donations and debt collection. In addition to a call centre, collective handling of letters, faxes, live chat, and e-mails at one location is known as a contact centre.

Is the call center jobs in the philippines really nearing end?

The Obama government is supporting the Call Center and Consumers Protection Bill filed in the US Congress which promote "insourcing" by cutting tax, of call center jobs by American firms and penalizing companies that deal with business process outsourcing (BPO) firms overseas. Now that Obama wins his 2nd presidential bid in the US, what happens next to our local call center agents.

Haven't you notice that manhole in Manila is looking differently on the year 2012?

Before, when we talk about manhole, the first thing that comes in our minds is "open manhole" or "missing manhole cover." This is the common concept of people living in Metro Manila. It is because there are a lot of recorded incidents of pedestrians, motorists and light vehicles that fell into it when they passed by. Round manhole covers are primary target of men selling steel. Those persons who tries to earn money in the wrong way by selling government properties like manhole covers.

Raised Manhole Cover
But now, when we talk about manhole, the first thing that comes to my my mind is those round thick metal on the road, bulging, raised up to 3 to 5 inches tall. 

That will make you fly or your vehicle to ramp when passed on it. This usually happens when you drive at night time or you are following another vehicle at short distance.

Cobra and Nagaraya: Energy Drinks and Cracker Nuts

Cobra & Nagaraya
Break time is the time for us to pause in our work and choose a healthy snack to refuel. I am still working in one of prestige amusement center here in the Philippines. Here, I met a group of electronic technicians whose craving too much on eating Nagaraya Cracker Nuts (Hot & Spicy Flavor) and drinking Cobra Energy Drink on their break time. Break was in between 3pm to 5pm and consumption of this foods is from 15min to 30 min. Don't ask me why the consumption of a bottle of Cobra and 30 gms of Nagaraya takes at least 15 minutes. I have asked them also the same question and they just said: "try it and you will know why."
