Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

The Award-Winning Movie-Lady Bird was Filmed in Sacramento


I was finally was able to watch the Award-Winning Movie- Lady Bird filmed in Sacramento. Most of the scenes are in the neighborhood ( Fabulous 40) where my closed relatives also resides.

I have been planning to watch the movie Lady Bird filmed in the neighborhood where I have closed relatives residing nearby known as the Fabulous 40 neighborhood of Sacramento. It was only this week, I was able to watch it uninterrupted.

The movie resonates to me personally because I have a teenage grand daughter residing in the same neighborhood when the movie was released in 2017. The heroine ( Lady Bird) of the movie thinks Sacramento is dull and wants to go College in the East Coast or somewhere else away from Sacramento reminds me of her. Today, she is no longer a teenager and away from Sacramento( Europe), finishing her high school year.

The following are the awards and nominations of Lady Bird-one of the top ten films of 2017. 

Lady Bird garnered a variety of awards and nominations. The film was chosen by the National Board of Review, the American Film Institute, and Time magazine as one of the top 10 films of 2017. In 2018, Lady Bird was awarded The ReFrame Stamp in the 2017 Narrative & Animated Feature category.

At the 90th Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Gerwig, Best Actress for Ronan, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Metcalf. It did not win in any of the five categories in which it was nominated.

The film also received eight nominations at the 23rd Critics' Choice Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Acting Ensemble.  At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (won), Best Actress – Musical or Comedy for Ronan (won), Best Supporting Actress for Metcalf, and Best Screenplay.  At the 24th Screen Actors Guild Awards, it was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Ronan, Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Metcalf, and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

In a series of articles regarding the best of the 2010s in film, IndieWire ranked Lady Bird as the 10th best film of the decade. Rolling Stone ranked it 23rd, The A.V. Club ranked it 10th, Business Insider ranked it 5th, and Consequence of Sound ranked it 90th. It was the 13th most overall mentioned on best of decade lists tying with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse according to Metacritic.
