James Cameron’s AVATAR is in theaters today. What about this movie interests you the most?
Sponsored by AVATAR. In theaters December 18. Buy tickets now.

Before I say anything else, if you haven't watched this movie YOU HAVE TO! It's really nice. It's a bit long (not as long as the LOTR movies) though, but I swear the story is nice.

Okay so I gotta admit that when I bought tickets to see this film, I thought it was for Avatar: The Last Air Bender. All that registered to me was "Avatar". I was too excited to wonder why the poster did not show Aang. LOL. When the movie began, I was so confused about why there were mentions of cryogenic states, other planets... WTH?! I was afraid the movie was gonna be bad because I did not know what it was about! I really thought I was going to watch Aang and Katara and the other peeps from the Nickelodeon show.

What I liked about the movie was the sci-fi part of it, and the love story. I was totally hooked on the story. The effects were also outstanding. I actually want to watch this again.

What's your favorite thing about the holidays? Least favorite?

I LOVE THE LIGHTS AND THE DECOR! It gives me a happy feeling whenever I pass by houses and buildings all lit up in the evening. I also love how cooler it is during this time of the year.

Least favorite has got to be the crowd in the malls. Then again in the PI malls are normally crowded no matter what time of the year.

Hahaha! I posted this in my Facebook and Plurk. :-D

Baby?

What's the longest you've ever waited in line?

An hour and a half just to buy tickets for a local film and The Time Traveller's Wife. The longest wait of my life!

If you could be fluent in any language (that you don't currently read or speak), which one would it be?

German. I love how it sounds.

Hello, dear Vox neighborhood. You have been sorely neglected and I hope you'll forgive me.

It's just that real life has been at me and my main blog and Facebook have taken up my attention. That is, attention beyond homeschooling, learning how to use my DSLR, cooking, etc.

You know how that goes, right?

So I've been blogging over here lately:

I still talk about my faith, family and food but my knitting seems to have been put on the back burner for a little bit. Once Babette is out of the way, I'll pull my needles out again.

It'd be nice if you paid me a visit!

What's your favorite memory from the summer of '09?

Summer '09 came and went and I did not do anything! I did not take PTO, I did not even go to the beach!

You must think I'm really boring now.

But I am not. I promise.

Awww, I love kittehs!

Beyond what is comfortable

Progress is made by doing what you have not done before. To truly grow stronger, you must step beyond what is comfortable and familiar.

Just outside your door is a whole wonderful world of new possibilities. And with those new possibilities come new and difficult challenges.

Go ahead, and have the courage to open that door and to step outside your comfort zone. For though the challenges are many, the rewards are more valuable than you can imagine.

You are designed and equipped and intended for great things. You are flexible and adaptable and creative and intelligent enough to successfully handle whatever you encounter.

Beyond the comfort of what you already know, you'll find the wonder and magnificence of all you can become. Go explore and fulfill the very best possibilities.
