hahaha...ok, so i kinda abandoned this blog for bit, but now i'm back....for now, at least!so, this is what i did on my summer vacation (from the blog and from life)...1) went to portugal...and loved it. everyone told me i'd love portugal but ppl said that about spain and paris (two lovely places that i do not necessarily love). but portugal surprised me, kinda like how italy surprised me by how

i was sooooooooooo sosososososoo excited for the deathly hallows pt 2 to come out. not psycho crazy, stand in line at midnight in costume excited, but excited enough. we even saw it in avx, which, in my opinion, is the best way to watch movies. extra large seats, that you can choose and reserve. that's the best part. anytime i'm going to see a movie on opening weekend, i will see it in avx.

it's been awhile, but i'm back...and with movies under my belt!i always loved the story of thor, so i really wanted to see this movie. but it sucked. i think i slept through half of it. it was so not what i had expected it to be. it felt almost half assed. boooo. :(finally saw fast five with my old highschool friend. his wife was away, and being a dude without his lady, he was at a loss for

this movie wasn't good but it wasn't bad. it was entertaining. i loved the dog in it, but of course i would. it was ok up until the point where the dude and the chick, who are running away from things that are trying to kill them, take the time to develop photos in a dark room. what the hell. that didn't make sense at all. but other than that, it was alright. a rental, at best. unknown, aka taken

this one will be a big one! i feel the need to remind you guys that before my return to movie going, the last movie i saw in a theatre was shrek 2. just keep that in mind! anyway, on the reviews!the green hornet: saw this with my bf on one of those fridays when we had nothing better to do. this movie turned out to be pretty funny. it got pretty bad reviews but it is what it is. i think i might

watched this the other day cuz we needed a good laugh.......and that's totally what we got. this movie is crazy. so dumb and out there. and kinda gross. but it was entertaining! there were some hilarious moments. some moments where i had to look away (i'm not good with blood). some moments where we were yelling, "come on!!!" to the screen. haha...and it was definitely not as bad as i thought it

I love when dinner is made for me even if it's something random like a double burger sans bun with fried egg and Brie topped with butter chicken sauce served with sweet potato fries and tomatoes. Although it sounds like quite the combo, it was actually pretty good! Who knew?

yvette and i went to see this movie during the holidays. it was good. not really much to say about it. i kinda liked amy adams in the movie. i'm not a huge fan of hers and i always think of her as her characted in enchanted, so i think she did a good job. yeah. that's it. this review is kinda boring but the movie is good.we watched this movie at home one night and my goodness. it suckeddddddddddd

it's been a lonnnnggggg time since i saw a really bad movie. a movie so bad that if i paid to see it, i would be pissed and i would have walked out. where, halfway through the movie, we were checking to see how much we had to go. where, we contemplated shutting it off, but it was so dumb that we had to see what happened next. we experienced all these very lows last night when we watched skyline.

what can i say? i'm obsessed. she's so tiny and cute and i love her!tyson loves her too! at first he was ignoring her because he didn't know what she was...but then when he realized she moved and made noise, he was obsessed with her. he sniffed her, didn't want to leave her side, started barking when she cried, tried to see her when she was in her crib. soooo cute. he's such a softy.

the majority of my entries are now movie reviews. what in the entire heck?!??! from a girl who hadn't watched a movie in 5 years, to a girl who sees a movie a week, my how things change. anyway, yesterday i called in sick from work, and had the most random sick day ever. the best part of it tho, was an afternoon matinee of disney's tangled. who goes to matinees, you ask? well, if it's a disney

this weekend i was given the choice of picking the movie. it was either between faster or tangled (disney animated movie). generally, i would go with the animated. i find them to be satisfactory no matter the story. but for some reason, i ended up choosing this movie over tangled, despite it's bad reviews. this is a total guy movie. i thought it was going to be so bad, but it was actually a lot

oh-lo!i wanted to see this movie half because it looked cute, and half because someone didn't want to see but made me watch the owl movie. i must say...my taste in movies is better. this movie was soooo good. had some really hilarious moments where we both just randomly bursted into laughter. needless to say, i didn't fall asleep. see it! in 3D!

let's face facts. melissa is not known to be into asian boys. the boy i was supposed to go to my prom with (before i cancelled on him the night before...let's save that story for another day) was asian. but i don't think i've dated or talked to or have been interested in any others since then. but i do have a new asian bf now (he just doesn't know it). last night we watched ip man, a martial arts

before i got my iphone, my dad warned me that if i did, i would not be allowed in his house. he's a bb guy, has shares in rim, totally buys into the whole bb vs. apple thing and said that my buying an iphone would make him lose money. hahha....so, i don't think he'd be very please to find that i'm now the proud owner of.....apple tv. it was a gift, so at least i can say that i didn't buy it. but

yvette and i saw this, on our quest for a good scary movie. this was not it. there were a few jumpy points in the movie, which i'm thankful for. but i dont know what the hell was up with the ending. if it means anything, i thought this was better than paranormal activity. this movie was a sham because we went in thinking it was one sort of movie and it was not. knowing that it's not a scary

when i was in spain, the fact that my palm pre was rendered useless (couldn't even use it as clock), made me so mad. so when i got back i made it a point to switch it up and go for the iphone (which i was lucky enough to get in a couple days -- thanks to my bf and her hookup!). i loved the pre....i got it for free which is the only reason why i got it, but it was a great transitional phone from

i'm not the biggest drake fan. i don't hate him, but i'm not up his ass like most people i know are. but lately i revisited the so far gone mixtape. i had it on my ipod but i don't think i ever really listened to it. i don't know if these songs are just speaking to me because of timing, but i'm listening to them on constant repeat right now. really feeling them. brand newsooner than later

people need to learn: - to not take their frustrations out on the wrong people- to not take people for granted- to not push away those who care about you- that if you're asked 'are you ok', not to say 'i'm ok' if you're really not ok - that people are not mindreaders- that people will only be there for you if you let them- that moodswings are for pregnant or pms-ing women- that you should

so after we got home from the d, i was dead ass tired but not quite in the mood to stay in. i ended up seeing takers. the movie was entertaining enough but could have been really good if casting was different. as much as i love t.i., i could not take him seriously. and there was a point in the movie where everyone felt the same and it became comedic. in any event, it was fast moving (no, i didn't

my bro, his gf, yvette and i hit up the dirty d on friday. was a super quick trip, with a super duper reason: the jay-z/eminem home and home concert.it was a long drive where we ran over a tire, almost got hit by crappy ass drivers in sarnia and took a million detours and made a jillion uturns, but it ended up being soooooo worth it. the hype alone got us, well, hyped. but the energy and the

randomly watched a trailer for this and, because i looooove movies set in medieval times, i thought it looked good even tho i had never heard of it. we watched it last night and it's a reallllllyyyy good movie. i've fallen asleep during seen a lot of crappy movies lately so it was a pleasant surprise that this movie was as good as it was. it's about a small group of roman soldiers, survivors of

finalllllyyyyy got to see scott pilgrim. i love michael cera and all the quirky weirdo movies he makes, so i had to see this. two of my hs boys, comic and indie geeks to the core, both raved and raved about this movie which only added to my desire to see it. totally did not disappoint. it's a very random, odd movie that's for the nintendo generation. plus, it was shot in toronto, and i was

i'm on that fantasy tip since finishing all six harry potters. we tried downloading labyrinth a bunch of times to no avail, but finally got it and watched it other day. i vaguely remembered it...it was released in 86. i was 6! but once i got into it, it all came back to me. i kinda fell asleep near the end tho (surprise surprise).

just something i'd like to share with all men. "i'll call you right back" - the right back part is the defining....right back means, right after i'm done doing this thing that is not allowing me to talk to you right now. on average, the time frame should be like 10 minutes, give or take. it does not mean, "i'll call you later" (see below). "i'll call you back" - almost like "i'll call you right

since i don't have hbo (yes, i'm deprived but at least i have my food network back!), i have to rely on others for hbo sunday nights. it's become somewhat of a tradition that often includes a homecooked meal (not my cooking and not my home...thank goodness! that wouldn't be good!) and bubble tea and the sunday hbo line up. true blood has been crazy and last night's episode was my favourite so far

i like fantasy movies. and since my return to movie watching, i've seen a lot. i got caught up on the lord of the rings trilogy, saw random ones like city of ember and stardust...but one series that i hadn't seen was *gasp* harry potter. now, the harry potter phenomenon happened when i was on my movie hiatus. i think i saw the first one, but only because i was on a plane. but the new harry potter

i went to the buff and bought absolutely nothing. i came back and spent $127 on panties, a cardigan, a dress, 2 skirts, a pair of shoes and a closet organizer. that is all.

...continuing from yvette's blog....we had brunch on sunday with C. One thing I have always said and still maintain is that brunch is a city thing. Ppl in the burbs don't generally do brunch. We do breakfast or lunch. We do allday breakfast...but the concept of brunch is so city. I asked my girl joyce, who is currently a city girl, formerly a burb girl and soon to be a burb girl again...and she

this song has been playing on my blip playlist for weeks, and now the video will be too. beyonce is admittedly one of my girlcrushes. i have mixed feelings about lady gaga...i love her when i don't have to look at her, but they did a really good makeup job on her (nose) in the vid.
