Me and Johnny had a great weekend. We didn’t do nothing special but we did enjoy ourself.
We went out for a pizza and even went to the park.
And the best part, the rainbow at the end of the day. It was my first time seeing a complete rainbow.

I saw this movie with my mother. Johnny put his headphones on and just listened to music in my bedroom all alone. I guess it wasn’t his type of movie but I surely enjoyed it.
At first, after seeing the pictures from the movie, I thought it was a story of three friends taking dancing lessons. But it wasn’t what I thought, and I’m glad.
Set in Thirties London, Ballet Shoes tells the exhilarating tale of orphans Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil, who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, Gum, and raised as sisters by his selfless niece. The timeless and uplifting story revolves around each girl’s struggle to fulfil her dreams: Pauline longs to be an actress, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems born to be a ballerina. But when Gum disappears, the money runs out – and the girls have a fight on their hands. Their struggle to balance personal ambition with the need to survive physically, emotionally, and financially, proves moving and comic by turns. Written by BBC Press Office.
This is definitely a family movie and a very good one. It’s been a while since I saw a simple, peaceful movie, with just a few teenage tantrums scenes. What surprised me was how thin Emma Watson looked in the blue evening dress she wore. But, seeing pictures with her in real life assured me she isn’t that thin. I also remember seeing Yasmin Paige in “Tooth” (this was a few years ago). She seemed familiar in “Ballet Shoes” but I couldn’t figure out in what movie I’ve seen her before since she looks so changed with long hair.
The ending was really cute and simple, everyone got their wishes fulfilled. Pauline becomes an actor, Petrova ends up taking flying lessons from Gum, Posy is enrolled in a ballet russian academy and their guardian, Sylvia gets married. All is well when it ends well.
But I’m glad I watched this movie, now I am even more curious about Rupert Grint movie “Driving Lessons“.

It was really nice this weekend. It was the first time this year that I managed to go out without my winter jacket. But it gets even better, for a short time I even managed to stay in my tee.
Well I did received some weird looks from some people but that didn’t matter cause it was so sunny and nice. But it felt weird cause the change in the weather is so sudden. Last week it was really cold and now it feels like summer is right around the corner. That’s not good, cause I’m a huge fan of Spring, when it’s not to cold but not to hot either. Oh well it was a good weekend. And because the day has gotten longer and with the change of hour for summer time we had time to do everything we wanted. Well, almost everything except watching a movie.
Speaking of which, there are two movies this year that we both (me and Johnny that is) want to see very much: CRANK 2 and Fast and Furious. We were planning on watching “The fast and the Furious” and “2 Fast and 2 Furious” this weekend but we didn’t had the chance. Well Johnny saw them both but I didn’t, I only saw “Tokyo Drift” . Anyway, Vin Diesel rocks my socks, he has even cool in “Babylon A.D.” and I didn’t even liked the movie that much, maybe because the ending sucked. Release date for Romania: 3 April 2009. Wooo hooo.
We both saw “Crank” a few months ago and it was really awesome. But I’m thinking the sequel to it will be weird. But at least it will have Jason Statham in it, so I can’t complain. If he makes another topless scene I can truely say it was a good movie. The movie gets released on 24 April this year, so we won’t have to wait that much (or 6 months like we did with Kung Fuu Panda).

Ahhh what a beautiful Friday. It’s sunny outside, we get paid, the weekend is coming and we actually got some work done these past two days.
On another note, Johnny failed his drivers license … again. I was with him this time, and we were both late for work. But it was fun. It’s been a while since I used the bus and the town has changed, not much, but it is different.
Oh, back on the subject. Johnny is more determined now to take the exam next time. I think he said that the last time he failed (I’m sure he won’t be buying me any ice cream this weekend after he reads this). Anyway, I think he took it better this time, he wasn’t so hung up on it, and he didn’t swear all day long, like he normally does.
Oh yeah, because of reading so many Korean blogs lately, I’ve become curious about “Boys over flowers” (or “Hana Yori Dango“). I haven’t seen any episode of it, but it looked interesting so I thought “What the heck let’s try reading the manga”. My head hurts from it. The characters and what’s gonna happen next is predictable (I dunno if it’s because all the manga’s I’ve read), the action, the characters are so common … This is one of those manga’s that I’ve been trying to avoid so much. I just hope that the movie/series is much better then this. Otherwise I’ll consider it all a waste of time.
