One of my favorite pastimes when flying is catching up with the blockbusters that I’d missed and this time, I caught The Jane Austen Book Club, Meet The Robinsons and Rush Hour 3.

4/5 for The Jane Austen Book Club! Makes me want to go buy a book and read now! A plot that’s easy to relate to and the pace is just nice so you won’t fall asleep.

4/5 for Meet The Robinsons too! I love animations and this one comes with a sweet storyline that develops from an orphanage. Keep moving forward!

3.5/5 for Rush Hour 3, your regular humor as per the previous two sequels. Most of the jokes felt kinda stale for me.

Hello everybody! I’m back from Japan and it was a really wonderful experience! We visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and visited Universal Studios Japan and Tokyo Disney Sea Park! We took the Hollywood Dream The Ride and it’s possibly one of the best rides I’ve ever taken! I’ve never screamed more!! You get to choose 1 out of 5 tracks to listen to while taking the ride, how clever is that?! I chose Osaka Lover by Dreams Come True and now it’s on repeat on my Winamp player.

Listen to it here:

The Tower of Terror at Disneysea was a little disappointing and not very scary though; all the rides in Disneysea seem smaller and less scary compared to Disneyland LA.

Almost 1000 photos to go through, will update with more soon!

Taking my mind off the books for a bit (cramming for tomorrow’s paper) and fulfilling 01/12 of 2008’s craft book reviews resolutions. Stitch idees vol. 5 has so many inspiring craft ideas in cross-stitch and embroidery, I could have scanned cover to cover! These are some of my favorites.

Here’s another piece of good news, the husband and I will be traveling to JAPAN next week for the first part of our honeymoon! Yes, it’s so exciting and I look forward to taking lots of photos, the onsen, Disneyland/sea, food and shopping, and bringing back some pretty Japanese fabrics for the shop!
