Of Gardens of Sorts

I've learned a parenting trick: you have to tire your kid out to get a good night's sleep.*

And a play ground/area will do the trick. Although it's worth noting that there's a lot we can learn from a kid's enthusiasm to life. 

I won't lie; it's fun playing with kids and their toys.

Ridin' the beep beep, as my nephew likes to call it. He still doesn't really talk, unless you count gibberish.**

Once again, we travelled to faraway lands to a place I was already familiar with.***

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden was a good time!

Flamingo Posse

The Final Countdown (Or A Brief Her-story of Cats)

Not to the end of the world. We all know that's not happening. Trust me, there's Mayan blood in me.

If you really want an unflattering picture of yourself, X-ray effect is the way to go. Go on, smile on camera and you'll know what I'm talking about. Water, on the other hand, looks really nifty.

When I'm not distracted by Photobooth and my uncanny resemblence to an X-men, I'm counting down the days for when I'll be re-united with my love, my precious, my Butters.

Oh, long hair...

Even though she's cat and I'm human, we're like two peas in a pod.*

In exactly one month I'll be flying back home to my Mexico Lindo y Querido and hold my cat in my arms once again.
Thanks to technology (and doting family members), distance hasn't been a huge issue.
We've managed to schedule Facetime chats into our busy schedules.

I look great in Facetime snaps. Ha.

It came as no surprise that she wasn't very keen on talking, but rather rubbing against whoever was holding the iPod and meow-ing for tap water. 

Now children, gather round to hear the story of a cats who won the heart of a Cat Lady...

Second Time Around: Temple Ruins

Ayutthaya is one of those places that never fails to impress, not even the 2nd time around.*
Even though I'd been there recently, I was still looking forward to going back.
There is something so peaceful and comforting about these temples.

Ayutthaya was the former Siam royal capital- the Burmese army rampaged the city, and thus the reign ended in 1767. It amazing how some temples still stand strong.

Wat Phra Si Sanphet was first up, the largest temple in Ayutthaya. 

A truly stunning portrait of yours truly (note sarcasm). It was really hot that day.
Walking around in Wat Phra Si Sanphet, it's hard not to feel like an archeologist!

Here's To The Ladies That Watch Movies (On Their Own)

Guys, I cried watching The Dark Knight Rises. That's not much of a spoiler as it is a testament on how incredibly sensitive and slightly 'damaged' I am. I think I may need to quit on the violent/action movies for a while, they no longer work as escapism... There's enough bad shit going on in the real world as it is.

However, if you ask me to put these empathetic feelings to the test during scene work- my tear ducts dry up immediately. It's like a man unable to perform before getting it on. Fear/Anxiety does that to you.*

Notable movie trailers I had not seen before:
Breaking Dawn Part 2: I gave up on the Twilight Saga after I payed $12 to watch New Moon in theaters. Oh, I had a good laugh but knew I could have put that money to better use. 

You guys, I actually read all the books in the series** and the last book was a bit of a "cock-block" for me (is that an appropriate term to use? No offense...)- there was a whole lot of build up for nothing.

Kirsten Stewart looks good as a vampire. End of story and moving on.

Man of Steel: Henry Cavill. Mmm. That's all I have to say about that for now.

Anyway, the (Ish)Review...
