Almost obsolete for posting..but

Yesterday, I sat elbow to elbow with the girls, and we watched drooled over the characters I thought were supposed to be for middle-school and high school girls only. We had popcorns each on hand, our fingers yellow with the cheese dustings and we munched our way through the movie. And I had to run my way to the wash room like a little girl who’d miss her ice cream frozen when she comes back.



Anyway, I have to make this straight. I was not a fan of Twilight Saga. Nope.


Edward is so white. His eyes are weird. He looks like a vampire.
Oh, he IS a vampire. Okay.


They speak in low monotone, I can steal a quick nap.
And ohh.. just a typical flick where girl-loves-boy only that boy is a vampire.
And lastly I have very little patience for sequels. The element of surprise in them, for me, is dispensable.



But I watched this recent one.



And oh boy!



Here’s why.

1. The masculinity of Jacob, the subtlety of Edward and the allure of Bella were on the mark.
2. My friend, Pau, supplied the info I missed in the earlier 2 sequels.
3. I think if it weren’t for Jacob, I wouldn’t have liked it much.  His character blew me away. (Not so much for the good built, but okay it did count like 90% Haha! Just kidding..)
4. Well, he’s THE character that kept it rolling for the two protagonists. Bella and Edward.
5. His lines were classic. And at this age, no one uses classic much in language anymore. So he made it all refreshing.
6. And if every man treats his lady like he does, all men wouldn’t be single. (Women are greater in number right?)
7. And he’s good looking. No? Okay. He’s hot.


Don’t think I was shrieking like a school girl. That would be dang inappropriate. I just had a smile on my face the whole time, my face hurt.


Thank God for girlfriends!



(This is actually a repost.  I wrote this on my FB account. This is what happens when I couldn't come up with something to post, in a snap.)

Sex and the City2

Sex and  the City the movie's 2nd installment is yet to be seen by me..I don't know why I'm late.  Or, it's the cinema here which is late. Hmm.  Anyway the trailer was such a temptation.  And there was definitely a part of the flick that's sure gotten my attention.  I know you'd know what I'm talking about once you see the photos below.  Barely 2 years ago or so.. :)

Ahh, I miss the cool desert breeze in November.

Happy weekend girls!

Busy yet getting fat..Uggh! (Updated)

I'm back.  Well, unofficially. And I hope you noticed I've been MIA for a while. You didn't? Ohh.

Anyway, I've been out for tons of things that kept me away from the blogosphere and I missed this side of the universe.

And I noticed that most of my posts were on awards, memes and etc. And that's not exactly why I blog.  There's more than that.  And you guys, most of you, are doing just what I have wanted to when I started blogging.  I just have a lot of excuses.

Nonetheless, I haven't been idle outside the blog world.

I did my sewing project. I'll share the photos later.
I enrolled and am currently reading books that some of you would probably find boring to read.
And mister baby learns how to ride the carousel on his own and so many lovely developments that I could watch him all day and just listen to his baby talk.
The husband and I are getting heavy/fat. This one is devastating.  But this means that we're happy getting fat together. (I still don't like the sound of it.)

This is all for now..I just wanted to say hi actually.

And oh, check out my side bar and there's a little floater there that you'd find interesting. Something about a badass asian. Go check out! She's not so evil.

UPDATE:

I wanna thank Janjan over at between me and my thoughts for this lovely thought.. Thank you blog friend! Don't forget to check her out too!

Shout out for a blog friend and Awards!

I promised Becca, a blog friend, that I'll do her a shout out.  Here it goes:

Only a Mama Knows

Quote from her profile: I change diapers and feed mouths. My ears never tire of hearing little giggles. I've been pooped and peed on. I wipe away snot and clean up puke on a daily basis. I'm a horrible singer, but my babies don't seem to mind. I'm a pro at multitasking. I make the best PB&J's. Some days I stay in my pajamas. Other days I don't shower at all. I have an endless chore list that seems to be on repeat. I sprinkle hugs and kisses on my babies like confetti. I've seen the occasional diaper blowout. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Here's a gist: colorful life of a woman and a mom.  Go check her out but come back for some eye candies waiting down here for you!

She has a little treat going on.  I want the treat because she's surely going famous one day. Find out why once you're there.

That's in the Features.

Here's what's above the fold....

I'm No Miss Receives Awards Again!
