Where Dreams Are Made

Because someone that goes by the name of Mike, requested that I update this blog, I am now doing so. Okay, friendship, read on and don't puke. This is the lamest entry yet. I just wish I can talk about something interesting. But lately the muse has been in hiding and I'm left with a poor excuse for a brain. So, bear with me just this once.

Our helper's one-year old kid doesn't know how to say her name. But you know what she was able to utter last week?

"Buh-bye, Bailey. Buh-bye."

Who's Bailey? She's our German Shepherd. See, each morning before I step out the of the house I'd say, "Bye, Bailey!" It's been my routine, along with saying "Hi, Bailey!" as soon as I get home. Apparently, the toddler has been hearing me say this everyday, so, naturally, she was able to pick up the expression. The process of learning is an amazing thing. I just wish she'd learn to say her name, too. Her parents ought to talk to her more and try to teach her how to speak.

Watched Kingdom of Heaven last week. It's not boring for an epic movie. I guess Ridley Scott learned a lot from Gladiator. However, between the two, my endearment rests with the latter. Russell Crowe vs. Orlando Bloom? Hell, that's a no-brainer!

And because Kingdom of Heaven was beautifully produced, I liked it. BUT (now that's a big BUT), Orlando Bloom as the lead wasn't really a good idea. There was something missing in his portrayal of the character Balian. Either that, or he just isn't the right actor for the role. Maybe Eric Banna would've done a better job. Then again, he was already in Troy. Whatever, I just wish it hadn't been Orlando Bloom. Sorry Legolas fans.

I promised Naruto gashapon pics in my previous post. However, because our low-tech digicam doesn't have macro settings, I couldn't come up with a good picture. The image turns out blurred, and so the details are lost. As these are gashapons (which are small figures, in case you're not familiar with them), you need to showcase the tiny details. So the pictures will have to wait until we get a better digicam. And with all the spending we've been doing lately, purchasing a new camera won't be happening any time soon. :p

It's very hot outside. And it's too darn cold here in the hubby's office. I've got a runny nose and I'm very sleepy. Still, I promised that I would update my blog. Pardon the bland, anything goes entry. My life, for two weeks now, has been temporarily put on hold. Work has yet to become second nature so I am still trying my best to learn the ropes. Maybe just one more month and I'll be winging it like a pro. Hehe, I wish.

Okay, that's it. I can't type anymore. Not only am I cold and sleepy, now I'm also hungry and starting to have a headache from staring at this frickin' blurry monitor. They should have this replaced! I wonder how they would feel about a request from a complete stranger? The company the hubby works for doesn't even know that I'm using their resources on Sundays. Haha. Okay, this time I'm really stopping. My eyes can't take it anymore. But before I go, let me just say that I hope it's a great week waiting for all of us. God knows we deserve it once in a while.
