A brighter day

I've been thinking, and thinking... I've always wanted to have a real beautiful blog, expressing who I am, what I am, being the stylish woman I think I am, the perfect mom, the perfect wife I want to be, the crafter, reader... ok I want to be all of those things, I do try... but it looks like I might need go an see a therapist, cuz I am not feeling that well. I want to blog frequently and go alog with the process... of becoming the real me, the one that's inside and it's not feeling really confortable with her surroundings... I think I am on the way, and I'll try to document it here.

Once upon a time

Yeah I am this lazy... I love to read, visit, droll over some others blogs, but I just don't do it regularly. Why? I dunno... maybe because there are lots of things I'd like to do & I don't (like painting, drawing, sewing, designing, excercising... lots of stuff).

So I can proudly tell that I am pregnant! way pregnant cuz I'm 25 weeks into it :) it's a beautiful baby boy, he truly is!!!! We haven't found the right name, yet... so he goes with mini mamut, he loves to kick me! & is super active... u can tell he is having a great time, because of all those flip flops he is usually doing. You are wondering about my weight gain, right? well that's another fact that makes me so proud!!! yay I haven't gain a single gram :D proud momma. Ad my bay oy is growing really well, we have seen him lots of times (visiting my ob-gyn & also, while doing scheduled sonograms) he is in perfect condition.

What else can I tell?
I am living somewhere else!!! it's a flat too, an apartment, whichever you want to call it... it's fairly large for the 3 of us, future 4 of us, and it's beautiful! it has a pair of vintage doors with glass windows those lead to the dinning/living room... that are perfect, it has the perfect amount of light, it's in a 3rd floor, and the rooms are perfectly suited for us. My kitchen is almost done... I just need a curtain & I've een dying cuz I wanted a lovely white and red kitchen, polka dots included... but I was wandering about another color addition & today I found a blog where they were showing some pics, combining red and calypso (is that a color in english, cuz in spanish it is!) and it looks perfect, so I'll search for the perfect faric to make the perfect curtain... it's just one curtain, and it's not so big, cuz it's for the door that it has glass.
As for the rest of the place... well I have to make huge improvements in our bedroom, cuz it's just functional... and I don't really like that way. And baby girl's room... it needs improvement too, it has color, and the furiture looks ok, but plain ok... so I am going to make a makeover and paint her bedframe and nightstand, I'd also like to find the perfect dressing table for her... but they are so pricey!!! totally out of our budget, I mean it needs to be almost out of my head, with the new baby comin' I just cannot make that purchase (which is a sadness :() ut i'll make it look nice, not perfect, yet... :D
Laura Ashley should give me a makeover... they should!

what else...
this one is another to die for piece of news!!! I read Mockingjay!!! last week, it was the perfect ending for an amazing trilogy. (I'll write a review)

ok... it looks like I have to stop writting, but I have a couple more things to say... I'd love to have cute aprons!!! I'll try to make some, cuz I'm going to spend lots of time at home, and I love them!!! just need the perfect fabric (which is sold out :() have you seen the cute aprons Busy Bee wears??? I totally love them.
Ok... now I do have to go, even though I don't want to... because there are lots of things I want to say. ut I am going now.

It's been a pleasure to unload all this info.
Have a great week.
I'll try to update pictures of all my ideas.

The Time Traveler's Wife Movie

This is full of spoilers! actually it is also very spoilerish for non-readers viewers, because I have detailed almost everything, and have revealed lots of things that were left out of the movie...





I finally saw it!!!! friday and monday! (thursday was the openning day in here)

Considering the fact that I was very, very excited about this movie, not because of the movie itself, but for my love of the book I am very happy about the result, so despite the fact that I was very excited about it my hopes weren't high, at all! I was expecting some really lame and cheesy chick flick... but to me it was not.

Actors:
Eric and Rachel delivered a very accurate interpretation of Henry & Clare.




Rachel I was expecting it, she does not dissapoint. You can tell how she grows, how she developes the character, you can feel her dispair lossing her babies and seeing Henry depressing and going, you can feel her joy encountering him in the present. But the surprise to me was Eric, he was a huge surprise! I am not very related to his work, but he did a great job as Henry... to me he did it, he almost was the Henry I have pictured in my mind, looking into his eyes you could almost feel his sorrow, you could see the loss in his eyes! and then I could see the hope beggining to raise, forming and growing inside of him, then going away, you get the idea.




Ron L. did what he could with what he had... you can tell they didnt give him much to work with. But it was a good Gomez.
Jane as Charisse was so plain! I am not saying it was her fault, but she wasn't Clare's friend, she was just Gomez's girlfriend/wife.
Arliss was definetly Richard, he delivered a heartbroken, so very convincing "who would marry you?"
Brooklyn was a so very good little Clare!
And the McCann sisters were very good Alba's! I mean I know they couldnt dye their hair! but I have pictured her as a brunette.




As for the movie, well the beggining felt too rushed... Henry trying to explain himself and the audience that he was a time traveler, then I loved when he meets Clare at the library



and the way they tell us how they meet in the meadow



(it was a great editing job making it fit into the movie timeline). It was a bit slow they not showing us how the relationship developed (present and past) but it was ok and very easy to understand for non-readers. The weddig day was, way too sunny! but it was lovely! young Henry/old Henry man I love him! and the Broken Social Scene cameo!!!! it was perfect! Clare asking Henry if she was a bigamist, was included! (I loved that in the book) and then showing us their married life... Henry's time travels, the lottery scene (Rachel faces were great), what I did not enjoyed was the vasectomy part... they put a fight were it was none! Clare saying Henry that he forced himself into her mind was not nice! I did not liked that! it was rude! and then Clare going to pick Henry up at the parking lot (where he was freezing, but not till the point he got his feet amputated) and they make Alba! Henry time travelling and meeting her! it was very good, a lil, tiny laugh (when we see him naked at that cage) before making us cry! (when Alba tells him he died 5 years ago)... now I get it! they showed it in the trailer... but I wasn't sure! Then seeing Alba growing up and getting to her 5 birthday... I was weeping by this time! seeing Henry in his wheel chair! seeing him setting himself off... he was there just dying! it was so very sad! I just felt it the way the book made me feel! it was awful! not the wailing! but definetly the weeping! it was so fast! so you see Henry dying! teaching Alba how to open locks and then he is there! being shot by he is father-in-law, dying in the hall... Clare mourning her husband... and then the almost happy ending, Alba playing with Max and Rosa in the meadow: Henry time travelling and the kids running to tell Clare that he is back, in the meantime it is emulated their time travelling encounter at the beach, where Henry tells her the story of how he and Clare met... while Clare is running to see him one last time!

I missed Kimmy! and Christmass dinner with the Abshire's and Etta and Nell, and the real Lucille, and Clare mourning her mama, Henry meeting grandma Meagram, Ingrid, Celia, Ben, the real Dr. Kendrick. Hated when Clare tells Henry that he forced himself into a 6 year old mind. I missed seeing old Clare embracing Henry.

I did like it! I have written my review while listening to the soundtrack...

So I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars... cuz I did enjoy it.
Now I'll go and read the book

Sorry it is a huge review! but its my opinion! as a huge fan/lover of the book.

my week: recap

so I've been intending to make a lil week recap... but I dont remember everything about it... so, as usual we had a birthday, considering our group of friends we've got almost a birthday everyweek! ok... 2 per month.

then tuesday & wednesday were great, both days dedicated to the Lord :D I know he has great things, huge things... commming our way.

and yesterday! oh beautiful thursday! glorius thursday! hehehehe certainly my Father knows how to make me happy... yesterday I was reading the news (as I do every morning, I do not read every single article, pretty much read every headline) so... going with my routine I find the greatest news!!! this gift:



I mean it's not like the world was changing or anything! but I have been waiting so long for this!!! yeah! I know its just a silly movie... but for me it is the movie of my favourite book... it keeps sounding lame and superficial! but I was happy, am happy and I know it's a lil sth my Dad gave :) so yes! I am happy for it!

Once I actually get to see it and stop babling about it I'll review it :)

a lilttle bit about myself

so... first of all I've tried to rearrange my blog, in order to make it appealling to me, why? cuz I'd love to blog regularly & I am lazy, but I always want to, so here it goes.
