You know, most girls when they are little wish for a pony. I wanted and still want a dog. It was and still is a more realistic wish.

Yesterday, I went with my friend on a stadium close by. I don’t know if I should call it a stadium because it’s small compared with what I see on TV. But, it’s still a stadium to us none the less. The stadium has a rugby field, about 6 tennis courts, 2 football/basketball courts and you can even go jogging there. Also, it has an archery field and a place for riding horses.

We were watching the guys there play rugby and catching up since we get to spend little time together.

We chatted till late and we only noticed how late it was when it started to get cold. On our way home out we noticed a little horse grazing. At first we thought it was a baby horse but when we got close we realized it was a pony.

It was cute and it got close to the fence and we managed to pet it. The pony was so gentle. He didn’t mind us petting him and he just did his thing, we did our squealing of joy.

We were petting a pony!

It was so random and yet a really nice end to the day. My friend even made a wish because she never touched a pony, not even a horse.

I just can’t wait to brag about it to Johnny. After all, he was so happy when he got to pet a Saint Bernard. I wanted to take a picture of it, but I enjoyed more petting it. Plus, I thought it will get scared of the flash since it was dark.

Even so, enjoy some random pics of guys playing rugby.

Well, time sure flies when you’re not paying attention.

Here we are and half of the year is already gone. Summer doesn’t feel like summer (because of all the raining; but I’m not complaining). Have I done something worth mentioning till now? Well, besides me doing certain fun projects like stitching and reading, nope. I didn’t do anything worth mentioning.

Am I sad? Nope. Why should I be since I did things I like.

And, since I am talking about things I like, it seems I have fallen in love with another Bollywood song: “Tu Mere Saamne” – Chori Chori

I know about Rani Mukherjee (I’m a big fan of hers) and Ajay Devan is Kajol husband, but it’s my first time hearing about Sonali Bendre. It seems she was pretty famous back in the ‘90.
Also, I love what Sonali is wearing, especially the brown pencil skirt.

I’m starting to think that Alexis Bledel will end up like Jenifer Aniston: just a pretty face, but without the fame and money.

Although I like Alexis (her character Rory from “The Gilmore Girls” won me over) it feels like she’s not going anywhere. And I’m pretty sure it’s because she keeps on playing the same role but in different movies.

I want to say that I watched “The Good Guy” but I know that fast forwarding doesn’t count. I just couldn’t sit still to watch the entire movie. And this comes from someone who can watch a 3 hour Bollywood movie.

“The Good Guy” was awful! It was hard to watch (and not because it had anything intellectual in it). I don’t blame Alexis or any other actors, but the story itself.

Ambitious young Manhattanite and urban conservationist Beth wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is often the trickiest of all. Beth falls hard for Tommy, a sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot. But just as everything seems to be falling into place, complications arise in the form of Tommy’s sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel. Beth soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street — high risk, high reward and everybody has an angle.

I watched about 40 minutes (normally) and I don’t even remember the name of the main character, but I do remember that Alexis character (Beth) was reading “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov at some point.

I am actually going to look the book up. At least one good thing came out from my 40 wasted minutes.

I’m thinking that, if the movie was a little bit more quirky and maybe with some jokes and fun thrown in, it would’ve been good. But it was dull and it bored me. I was bored to begin with and I was hoping a good movie will do the trick and cheer me up. This wasn’t a good movie.  

I wonder why Alexis doesn’t breach out and try different things? She doesn’t seem to lack anything and yet she is still doing small movies that aren’t even released outside the U.S.

I haven’t even seen any of her movies (besides “The Gilmore Girls” and “The Sisterhood of travelling pants”) on TV or at least at the cinema.

Yet, her “ex-mother”, Lauren Graham is doing pretty good and if you go at Hollywood Multiplex in Bucharest Mall you’ll see that her movie “The Answer Man” aka “Arlen Faber” is being screened. And from what I heard it’s actually good.

Hopefully, Alexis other movies (“Post Grad”, “The Conspirator” and “Sleepaway camp reunion”) will be at least watchable.

I don’t like the song, but I love the video (but who knows it might grow on me). The ending of the video is adorable, yet sad.

Enjoy “Say You Don’t Want It” by One Night Only.

Hope Daniel and Rupert are doing also good and hope to see them soon on the big screen.

I’m on a roll!!!

I never finish things. But now, not only did I finished and framed my dog gobelin, but I already started my cat gobelin. And that means a lot to me, because I’m such a lazy person (in general).

It also may not seem much to others, but working in needlepoint really takes a lot of patience and determination to actually finish. And those are really two things that I lack.

I’m so proud of myself. I’m allowed to say that, because it’s been a while since I’ve been productive. Usually, the only environment in which I’m productive is at work and there only if I’m left alone (with no interference from others).

I also noticed one thing: I’m very cheap with myself (with buying clothes or things that some see as a “must”) but I spend a lot of money on things that some find trivial (like my hobbies and manga’s).

I noticed this yesterday, when I went shopping with my friend.

I usually avoid going to the Mall or other shops which I know are expensive (from my point of view) but I said what the heck, it was pay day after all. And there I was, sitting with the pair of jeans on me thinking if I should buy them or not.

I was very reluctant to spend 30$ on a pair of jeans! 30 bucks, that’s cheap and I am a jeans person, plus the jeans looked good on me.

 Then I thought it over: I spent in the last 3 months around 150$ on gobelins and here I am fretting about 30$ for a pair of jeans which I will get to use almost every week.

So I made a resolution: I won’t buy anymore needlepoint kits till I finish the ones I have at home, and I will buy myself a decent pair of sneakers (hopefully I won’t cry if I scratch them).
