Hellcats

It’s a shame to see this new show to go because it was one of my favorite new shows of 2010 but it seems the ratings do not agree with most of it viewers I knew a lot of people enjoyed watching this show it looks like a teen show well technically it is since it’s on the CW but it story was a new idea that nobody could think of it I presume so let me talk to you about the short life of Hellcats


Hellcats follows Marti Perkins, a pre-law college student at Lancer University, who lost her scholarship and has no other choice but to join the college's cheer squad, the Hellcats, in order to obtain a new one. There she meets her new roommate and team captain Savannah Monroe, the injured flyer Alice Verdura, her new partner Lewis Flynn and the Hellcats coach Vanessa Lodge who hopes to win nationals, otherwise the cheer leading program will be cut. All the while, Marti also has to deal with her financially unstable and sometimes irresponsible mother, Wanda Perkins, whom she often has to bail out of difficult situations, and her best friend Dan Patch.


Since it’s a Drama with not effects it’s time for the characters and here is the best


5th: Vanessa Lodge played by Sharon Leal the coach of the cheerleading team and a former Hellcats champion she is now teaching the students of Lancer to cheer and their selves a true person to be call a teacher.


4th: Alice Verdura played by Heather Hemmens she is the trouble maker at first she tried to run the chances for Marti to get in it all went to the drain but never gave up till recent important events has changed her to a better person but she never changed her altitude.


3rd: Lewis Flynn played by Robbie Jones let’s see first time I spotted him was as the bad boy in the TV Series One Tree Hill and now he still a bad boy in good way a really good base and charming with the ladies you wonder why he’s a cheerleader well he has a very good reason for it you will know in the series.


2nd: Savannah Monroe played by Ashley Tisdale best well known as the mean blonde Sharpie in High School Musical this time she is the nice cheerful high spirited brunette you will ever see I never recognized her at first and she surprised me what she can do she is also known as the captain of the Hellcats Squad and a good friend of Marti.


1st: Marti Perkins played by Aly Michalka She looks very familiar to me in some TV series & movies and they really picked a really good face and act as the lead role and if she look straight at you and look very closed she dose looks like a cat and that one of the main reasons why I watched that show and she is one hell of a cheerleader and a pre-law student.



Finally if you notice the relationship between Marti & Savannah you can say that Savannah look like your favorite grandmother & Marti is her Cat & then you will get the picture truly if I can draw you will get my point quickly yet hilariously I enjoyed watching this show and it is a true shame that ended so quickly I was hoping for at least 2-3 more seasons but if they expect that it won’t survive we can’t do a thing unfortunately so IMdb.com gave it a 6.5/10 but in my scale I say it got 7.6/10.

Honoring Prince Sultan Al-Khair

On Saturday morning 22nd of October 2011 I woke up this morning doing my usual routine getting ready for a new day at work this time I have to go to a client in Dammam which means I have to take my coffee in my nearby Dunkin Doughnuts & I almost got killed by a crazy driver who’s just crossed the red light without caring… to me it’s just a regular day at the office but while I started my morning routine I got a break hearted news a man who I admired of his charity contributions that made a lot of people to remember him with his famous nickname Sultan Al-Khair better known in English (Benevolent Sultan).


Born as Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in Riyadh in January 5th 1931 he is the 15th son of the Founder of Saudi Arabia King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud.


He was the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia & He served as the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense and Aviation. He is one of the Sudairi Seven. Sultan was first in the Saudi line of succession.



Prince Sultan was very known for his humanitarian services has established Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City, which has expanded its activities to groups interested in the less fortunate, and people with special needs & it associated with Charities and institutions, the disabled, orphanages, and it contributions with annual commitments. He has huge contributions in Africa & established The Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Special Committee for Relief & he entrusted it to meet the needs of millions of poor people in Niger, Chad, Ethiopia, in addition to a number of poor African countries. As for health & due the high rate of cardio diseases in this country he established Prince Sultan Cardiac Center & it been considered one of the best cardio centers in the world.


Of course he didn’t forget the Saudi Youth as well He established a number of institutions, social and charity work, which is entrusted with promoting the youth energy in Saudi Arabia, in the scientific, medical, science centers and modern techniques, that resulted Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City. As for the importance of education he established Sultan bin Abdulaziz Science & Technology Center (SCITECH) to give a uniqe learning experience for the school students & others in association with King Fahad University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) He also established Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Foundation, which has worked to secure adequate housing for the needy in different regions of Saudi Arabia. He didn’t forget about the Saudi Women too so he established Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Fund  to Support Small Enterprises for Women, so it can provide a decent life for the Saudi Women.


He died from a long battle with cancer since 2003 & he kept on getting treatment until he died in Saturday at dawn I really didn't want to wake up this morning & read this kind of sad news it was really a great loss for all of us.

Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz  was one of many mentors that taught through my life his white giving hand & bright smile always inspired me to follow his footsteps to me this great man is a true national hero who inspired a lot of people Saudis & Non-Saudis the world especially his people will always remember him as long as they live.


I’m already missing you Prince Sultan thank you for all the efforts you have made for us & you may now rest in peace.

K-ON

Took too long to watch this show well nobody can blame me cause I watched the first & second season of it and I enjoyed it to the fullest now I have another great shojo school life and it’s really popular amongst the anime fans in general a really fine good anime to watch and enjoy their wonderful teen music so let me talk to you about The Light Music Club or should I say K-ON.



Hirasawa Yui, a young, carefree girl entering high school, has her imagination instantly captured when she sees a poster advertising the ‘Light Music Club’. Being the carefree girl that she is, she quickly signs up. However, Yui has a problem, she is unable to play an instrument. When Yui goes to the clubroom to explain, she's greeted by the other members: Ritsu, Mio and Tsumugi. Although disheartened at Yui’s lack of musical know-how, they still try to convince her to stay to prevent the club’s disbandment. After playing Yui a short piece which re-ignites her imagination, they succeed in keeping their new member and guitarist. Along with the tasks of school and homework, Yui begins to learn the guitar with the help of the other band members, experiencing many mishaps along the way. However, with the school-festival drawing near and Yui getting stuck with her practice, will the Light Music Club be ready in time for their debut?

 

So you like the story so far then you will have a great deal about it characters:


5th: Sawako Yamanaka The Club home run teacher the woman with a passion of making weird outfits with a mystery past that she would never revel until been discovered by the girls of K-ON I really like the character you wouldn't what she might be hiding.


4th: Yui Hirasawa The guitarist yeah I know she’s the main character but she’s not that great all you can do when you watch her is just laugh at her but she is a great guitarist after  she joined the club and let’s face it we wouldn't have Ritsu if weren't for her.


3rd: Tsumugi Kotobuki The Keyboard Player a very, very relaxed character and get excited for any reason that come from everybody you can say she is the band favorite and huge supporter of any cause you can say she usually the fuel on the fire.


2nd: Ritsu Tainaka The Drummer with the shiny forehead yep she’s the club clown as you say and cruel joker of them all she is the whole reason why our good girl Mio such a scary cat and karma always get in the way when she misbehave.


1st: Mio Akiyama The Bassist yep everybody favorite the face of the band and the ultimate victim we obviously her type is an easy prey but she’s very slick when it comes with this and become serious by smacking her attacker in the head by far one of the favorite characters in the series.


The club music is enjoyable but I always preferred the OP & ED of the anime maybe because I can see an actual music video who knows it’s my mood after all… there is great music in the ED such as “Don't say lazy” by Yoko Hikasa ,  “Listen!!" by Aki Toyosaki & "NO, Thank You!" by Yoko Hikasa… for OP I liked only one and that was "Cagayake! GIRLS (5-nin Ver.)" by Aki Toyosaki.


So our verdict for this anime is more than fantastic I enjoyed watching every minute of it I had a bad feeling when I decided to watch it but I was relieved when I watched it and now I get it why it’s so popular trust me you won’t regret it and it got a 9.3/10 on my scale.
