Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Despite being sick when I greeted 2012, it was fun. I stayed up late enough to watch the ball drop from our tv in my pajamas with my in-laws.  Matty was knocked out and I didn’t have the heart to wake him up just so I can greet him a happy new year... so I gave him a thousand kisses while he was asleep.  Then, I finished book 2 of the Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire.  The trilogy was so good, I didn’t want to sleep because I wanted to finish the third book, Mockingjay.  I obviously couldn’t pull an all-nighter, so I got through the first few pages and gave in to sleep.

Halloween

I just love firsts.  Matty’s first tooth, his first smile, first step, first word, and basically all of his first times.  This is also the year when he first gone out to trick or treat around the neighborhood.  Last year, we had him dressed up as baby spiderman and a beetle, but didn’t really get a chance to go around for trick or treats.  The hubs thought he was way too young for it.  So this is quite an exciting time. For me, anyway.

Blogger App

The previous post was written on the blogger app from my iphone. I was so anxious to blog and try the new app that I couldnt for tomorrow. I actually did not know there was a Blogger app available until I searched for it last night.  That’s how antsy I was about posting an entry about Real Steel.

Real Steel

Came back from watching Real Steel an hour ago and wanted to blog about it while my thoughts are still clear in my mind. Overall, it was a fun film to watch. Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo were so cute together. There was that father and son chemistry between them that made you believe in their story. Special effects were great. Those robots moved graciously. The story line was somewhat typical where irresponsible dad gets scolded by more mature son, and realizes in the end he was wrong... but it worked for this film. I love how the robots were incorporated into the human story line without getting off track nor corny. I caught myself grinning in a lot of the scenes. And in tears in a couple. Its a nice feel good movie.

Go see it!

Tech Overload

Today’s society is so heavily dependent on technology that we cannot function without our smart phones, ipads, nooks, kindles, laptops, and whatever gadget there is available. Guilty. I know I can’t.  And this is a bad habit. One that I want to lessen because I use it excessively.  I don’t want to kick this habit, just reduce my daily usage to have some alone time.

Stumped ?!

Blah! That’s exactly how I feel right now.  For some reason, I’m off my grid today.  Just not feeling it at all.  I had a midterm exam this morning at 9 am.  Maybe that threw me off.  I felt that it was too early to take a test on a Monday.  Eh. It gets hard getting back to the swing of things after having a nice relaxing weekend with the family.

October seems to be an awfully busy month for me whenever I’m in school.  I feel like I get tests after tests after tests that just doesn’t seem to end.  It’s one exam after the other.  Two weeks ago, I had 5 exams in 3 days.  It was a lot for me because I’ve never been to school full time since high school. So you can basically imagine how mortified I was.  

I was going to blog about korean shows I’ve been watching when I saw the notification for the new, cleaner blogger dashboard interface.  My first thought was to click on “try it now” button to see what it looks like. And that’s exactly what I did... as you can see from the image on the left, I took a screenshot of the new interface.
