It’s been almost 2 years since our feet landed in the land of the Americans. I’m just missing those times when we had 10 days to enjoy the land we’ve been dreaming to explore years back.

I have featured this before, but forgive me this is the only 3D experience I have so far and it’s none-other-than… AVATAR.

Happy TCP everyone! Enjoy the rest of the week!

Last Bank Holiday (last weekend of May), we run away from the city of London and explored the beautiful countryside of North Wales. I’ll be sharing the pictures of ourselves next week, but for now let me share with you some snapshots of the beauty of nature that took our breath away on our 1st day.

I’ll see you again next week to share OUR faces with these beautiful places. Click the badges to share your weekend happenings. Enjoy the week ahead everyone!

Now that I have finally transferred this blog to WordPress, I am happy to say that I’m back at Tuesday Couch Potatoes – again. This is a movie meme where Mommy Kikamz gives a particular theme each week and we share them to other couchers. I am really not fond of watching English movies, but because hubby loves them and he insists that I join him, I can say that I do enjoy them most of the time.

This week’s theme is about computers and there’s this very memorable movie I know of that I watched together with my Grade 4 classmates in school. I was not very excited that time because… you know – IT’S ENGLISH! But because it was one of the first English movies that I enjoyed, it made a mark in my head and I even shared it with Alyssa.

Here’s a summary written by Newton Haights from IMDB – 12-year-old Preston Waters is tired of his pain-in-the-butt brothers and stingy parents. One day, a rich but convicted money launderer by the name of Quigley nearly kills him in a parking lot and gives him (by mistake) a blank check. So Preston boots up his computer, makes out the check for one million dollars cash money, comes up with the pseudonym of “Macintosh” and starts to spendin’. But Quigley wants his money back — it was supposed to be cashed by another man with a blank check and handed back to Quigley. Can Preston keep up the facade? Will Quigley and his goons get their money back? And will Preston learn how valuable money really is?

Again, an old Disney Movie worth remembering. It teaches kids not only the value of money, but most specially the cause and effect of their actions.

Happy TCP, Couchers!

Aladar, Neera, Kron, Bruton, Emma, Plio, Zini, Suri, Eema are only some of the names that are printed in my head, because this movie is being played a number of times a day. We watched it the first time when we rented the DVD and since then, my Cheeky Munchkin can no longer be stopped from watching it. We can’t find a DVD so we seached it on YouTube and good thing it’s there! Yes, the full movie is there! This doesn’t mean though that we won’t be buyinga DVD anymore, because my dinosaur girl will surely insist. Well, I would agree that this is one of the nicest Disney films I’ve ever seen and so I can’t really blame my daughter.

Alyssa is so fascinated with dinosaurs and it all started when she watched this and she was only 3 years old then. Now she’s 4 1/5 and that didn’t change a bit. In fact, she’ll get hold of any dinosaur toy, soft or hard, whenever she gets the chance to do so. So what does this Dinosaur film all about?

It’s about a dinosaur egg that has travelled to different places and finally came to the land of the lemurs. The lemurs adopted the dinosaur and named him Aladar. They taught him how not to like meat and they all considered each other a family. Then the what has been known as a “big bang theory” where a meteor shower hits the earth, they have no choice but to leave their land and go somewhere they never knew of. That was the only time when Aldar saw others who look like himself. The other dinosaurs thought he’s just normal and so he’s been welcomed to join the clan led by Kron and Bruton. They travelled all together and try to reach the nesting grounds, but it’s not going to be easy. So a lot of trials have been encountered along the way and because the leaders don’t care about everyone, Aladar voiced out what he thought was best. He taught the others how to protect one another as a group so they can battle all the carnotaurus that’s been trying to kill them.

It’s a film that teaches kids how to love one another because each and everyone is important. It also teaches kids how to listen to other’s opinions and not all the time what they thought is right. It’s a film worth watching by every kids and as a mom, I know and I believe that these are some simple ways for us to teach our children good manners.
