Author: What’s up? How are you? I’m alright, just here trying to understand life and adulthood, maybe I make it more complicated than it really is or maybe it is more complicated than I can even imagine, but for right now, I am twenty-six years old and I know I got a lot more to understand, a whole lot more growing to do and a whole lot more experiences, good or bad, to be had. Pray for my journey, as I yours.
Anyway, yesterday I took my sister downtown to the cinema and park, my favorite places to go to (the cinema and park). It was her first time on a train and she really had a great time, I was happy that I was able to do that, even though at times it was a little exhausting for me because I am unfit and pregnant. I promised God if he helps me through this pregnancy, I’ll do better with my life and health in the New Year. That’s not to say, I wouldn’t try to do what I can right now, but seeing as I am pregnant, there is only so much I can do.
The cinema was expensive; I haven’t been there in so long but damn; last time I watched a 3D movie, I paid $8.00 to see it; this time around it was $12.00 each, I left home with $50.00; and ended up spending $24.00 to see the movie UP in 3D, which was awesome, mind you, and about $14.00 at the concession stand for a bottled water, medium drink and a large popcorn. It barely left me with enough money to buy lunch; we split a $5.00 foot long (a Sub) at Subway. I introduced her to the way I eat my Subway; Honey Oat bread, ham, American cheese, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, pickle, jalapeños, olives, honey mustard, etc. It’s yummy; she told me she liked it even though she doesn’t like vegetables. Anyway, I didn’t say all that to sound like I am complaining; I was really glad to go to the movies with my sis, who I haven’t seen in almost two years, but it disappoints me how expensive things have gotten, the solution to the recession; raise prices, lay-off employees and raise taxes. Yeah, that’ll work. I pray God helps us all through this because life isn’t worth living, if you can’t have fun. I for one love going to the movies and missed it very much and I really wish it wasn’t such an expensive treat.
Speaking of movies; I know one I would really like to see September 25th; it’s a dance/musical movie and a sort of remake; yup; you guessed it; FAME; right up my alley. So if God spares my life and blesses my finances that I can afford it; I’ll be taking my big pregnant (by then, I’ll be about 9 m
onths along) belly to the cinema Sep 25th. To bad my mom will be gone by then and we can’t go together. I’d love that, if we could. I wonder if she’d like to see it too. Anyway, until I blog again, have a blessed day, pray for me and I’ll pray for you.

Here are some reviews I wrote a while back but never got around to posting:
Wow; when did Shia LeBeouf become such a heartthrob? He certainly did not grow out of his cuteness; he just got sexier and even a little edgy. I don’t know about you all but I like it. I have never seen a smoother transition from child star in children/family oriented films to hot-sexy action star in grown folk flicks. I am so proud.
Anyway; for many years I have been a great Indiana Jones fanatic; I love the entire trilogy; especially the one that co-starred the sexiest old man on the planet Sean Connery; “Indiana Jones and the last Crusade,” it was funny, exciting and totally awesome. Loved it!
So my question is; why; oh; why; did they take so long to do the fourth? I mean it was still good; as long as you watch it with a fresh pair of eyes; no expectations or comparisons.
MOVE! Get out the way; get out the way; Will Smith is coming and he’s here to stay. Okay, okay, enough with the cheese. I don’t know if I ever told you all this before but I am a huge Will Smith fan.
So guess what movie I recently went to see in the theaters; you know you can. No not “I am Legend,” although I did watch that too; it was alright. Okay; it was probably better than alright but it wasn’t my type of film; I only watched it because it starred and I mean starred one of the sexiest (in more ways than one) men in Hollywood.
Anyway; did you guess yet? Let me give you another clue; it also stars Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron. You know what it is now, don’t you? But do you know how awesome it was. Did you watch it? What did you think?
Apparently I must be a teenybopper at heart; always reviewing teen movies but what can I say; I am who I am; love me or don’t.
So what do I think of Camp Rock? I thought it was okay. I think the Jonas Brothers are cute in a teen heartthrob sort of way (would have had a real crush on Joe Jonas, if I was still a teen). I like their music but mostly I really like what they represent as young people; I think they are excellent role models for their generation.
I liked that Alyson Stoner was in this movie; I recognize her face but it took me a while to figure out who she was; I knew for sure though; when she put down a slight move at the turntable; but boy she is all grown up. When did that happen? I’m really looking forward to seeing her shine for a change as oppose to basking in the ray of someone else’s sunlight; as she has been doing for years.
Honestly, I really liked this movie, I know you are probably thinking, wow, this girl is so easily pleased and boy, she seems to like the cheesy lovey-dovey stuff. Yup, that’s me, I’m a complete sucker for feel-good, happy ending, true-love finding movies and I don’t believe they are as far-fetched as we make them out to be.
I just think real life and the real world could be so harsh, scary and serious, so I don’t see why my chosen entertainment has to be the same way. I love how certain movies can ignite the romantic, adventurous side of us, we let die as we grow older. I watch these kinds of movies to make sure I keep my dreams and fantasies alive. So I don’t forget about love, taking risk, being courageous and loving your self.
