My Spiderman-3 review

Adios to another great weekend…

Spent some quality time with dad and self... watching TV, online, reading, eating, grocery shopping etc…

Ah yeah watched Spiderman – 3 yesterday… and yup was a good movie…. But like I said, and saying again…. Too many characters, too many plots and too many connections… you have to see it to know what I’m saying…

Not denying that it wasn’t exciting .. I like the movie a lot… but sometime in the middle felt like… they tried to cram everything into one movie because at some part I felt they should’ve added more detail some more fiction!!!!. I think they could’ve made another part and ended this one well with a whole lot of detail. Was a long movie though 2 n 1/2 hrs with editing… Editing??? You ask… yea here in Kuwait there kinda sensor all the short kisses even if it last for about 5 seconds…

The theatre was loaded with kids all of them exited and whistling and happy… There was this one cute little kiddo sitting next to me and from what I felt and remember (when I did look away from the screen) was that he kept pointing his hands around here and there imitating Spiderman. It was really funny his parents were so embarrassed trying to keep him calm but this little bugger kept going on… If I could wish for something at that time I’d wish that magically a web sprayed out from his hands hehe.. I’m sure he would’ve been more than thrilled.

Story wise, I thought it was fine… But what I like the most about the movie and what was consistent in all 3 parts was the magnification of human values, emotions and needs.

The acting was great too.. I thought all actors did a fantastic job in every role. You could actually tell from the expression if he was playing the bad guy or the good guy… ok if you didn’t get that you’d have to watch the movie.

To conclude with my Spiderman review, I’m sure the kids would love it… if you’ve enjoyed the Spiderman action in previous parts there’s surely a lot more action here…and for those of you who appreciate new characters you’ll love the new ones in this part… not disclosing them here don’t want to spoil your suspense… :) :)

Hair cut experience

Today went for to get my hair cut.. and for some reason going to the hairdressers has always been a nail-biting experience.

Well FYI.. I like experimenting new hairstyles.. back in college it was so much easier just go to the parlor pick up the hair styling book, point at a style and just pray it was cut the way I want it and the way it looked in the book. No worries about what any one thought, no tension about superiors or anything for that matter

Times have changed you can say, cause now when I'm getting a hair cut I'm praying that it's not cut too short or it don't make me look small cause as it is I look 5 years younger than I am.. (not complaining.. :) ) and too short a cut would drop it to 8!!! :) he he.. mostly cause of work.. cuz I always get the "she's so young look!!!" :)

Tough luck this time.. its cut shorter that I wanted..me and my big mouth.. when the hairdresser asked me "Should I cut it one inch shorter", I said.. "its ok.. you can go shorter than that" .. so can't complain this time.. hehe..

But again looking on the brighter side... I've finally got rid of the little color that was left of last time's hair color experience. So now finally it's all naturally black.. :) looking forward to getting red streaks.. but guess I'll hang on to that thought for now..

Other than that the day was pretty much good on the whole.. had a nice short nap this afternoon.. thats why am fresh right now...and yes the reading is still on... :) gonna log off now like a good girl and get back to my book.. :)

Amen.. I'm Alive

Suddenly there is so much to say … (The reason I started blogging)… it’s actually a good feeling… “I moved that block!!!”

Work seems to be taking on a good direction. Being given oppurtunities to actually do what I wanted to do and though I never really looked at it that way i.e. as “Things I want to do at work” I am glad its happening. I suppose all this is leading to a good formation of the thoughts. “Interesting” – (that’s what I’m thinking right now). Perhaps this is for the good hmm… thinking, it probably is, considering that everything happens for a reason.

For a change the days too have been passing by with the unexpected note (the way I like it). For a change it’s been a good 2 weeks… without any regret rolls (that’s a whisper just afraid to be speaking too soon). No backstage issues… I could go through that bungee jump right now as in right right now…don’t know about laters cause I whispered :)

Things have been moving, started reading again and yes going to finish it this time, over the last year I’ve started 4 books outta which I completed 2. Two I left half way which I think is not good. For now, no interest to go over em again and finish it…

But I’ve started reading another this year.. And looking at my interest I suppose I’ll see the end of this one for sure. Thinking about setting some reading targets for the rest year... Probably a little too late for New Year resolutions… but what the hell!!! – Better late than never…

I think this is a good start… Hoping for that good end… I believe.. “If its not fine, Its not the end…”

Yesterday had this encounter with a person, I prefer to keep anonymous who was filled with bitterness and hatred… may or may not be his/her fault but still it was there.. it was a phone conversation and at the end of it… all I was thinking …and singing to myself was

"If everyone cared and no body cried
If everyone loved and no body lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when no body died
Amen... I'm Alive"

Will say more about this song... but will leave that for another day

Good Times..

(Just for the record.... I'm Alive...!!!! )

Today was one of those days that started off on a lousy note but ended on the best. Been a while since something like this has happened, so logging in the experience for days that feel otherwise…

This is what happened…

As I said, the day started off with me feeling "sha!!! There’s nothing to do here", well frankly there isn’t one just has to find ways to stay alive here anyways that’s that. Work was “the same old” but things started looking good when we left 10 minutes early from work – for a change and since then everything just happened just the way I like it - WITHOUT ANY PLANNING.

Dad and bro suddenly ring me up saying they are picking me up from work…

Sliffles decided to drop in to help out with the computer, ok that was fun... (Now!!!! Not then!!!! if your reading this) when he said he couldn’t make it while I was talking to him on the phone and the next thing I know is he’s walking into my place..

Then, there was a sequence of teasing and troubling isa (because she just returned from her 1 week trip to India)…which lasted for an hour or more!!!

Then cinders and kev (the fun couple – both good friends) drop in for a lil TP too bad me couldn’t hang out - went out shopping for my "not little any more"(NLAM) brother with dad and sliffles.. :)

And there was rod too... guess I owe an equal amount of gratitude for this feeling for his unexpected visit. We sat down like old times, chit chatting, talking about stuff … just the way I like to.. Ah then got my timely quota of 60s/70s rock songs.. best part was he gave me a preview of all the songs in that particular folder so I could actually choose what I wanted… J. I plan to collect enough to fill a cd so I could have my own album of chill out music J

And so yeah…. that was it!!! That was what it took to make a seemingly lousy day into one of those rare days that end in a great feeling!!! And how could I forget to add.. had this short and sweet chat with my Lolo happy day for us.. 2 years now since we met!!!... come to think of it.. 1st of May has always been good for me.... hmmm... that's a thought.. guess my Late Gabby mama is watching ova me.. will send up prayers for him tonight...

That’s when I realized and smiled again feeling thankful to the “All – Mighty” one thinking... “Thanks for being there in so many ways…”
