Laissez les bons temps rouler!

i REALLY should be studying
in fact, i WAS
till i discovered something AMAZING
and i just had to blog :))

say hello to Disney's new animated feature The Princess and the Frog!!!
if there ever was a movie MADE for me this is it :)))
and i shall list down the reasons why for you :
1. if ur my friend u'd know i am quite partial to frogs and love the frog prince story in general
2. if ur my friend u'd also know my deep love for New Orleans and cajun ppl in general [ think Gambit, my darling Remi LeBeau :))))]
3. and last but CERTAINLY not the least, if ur my friend u'd know how crazy i am over the roaring twenties - the jazz, the booze,the flappers, the Great Gatsby, Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone it practically gives me shivers :))

and whadya know,
this Disney movie has ALL three packed into one neat little package!
The Princess and the Frog is a fairytale set in the French Quarter of New Orleans during the 1920s
lots of jazz,lots of voodoo, lots of bayous and gators and gumbos :)))

take a look at the trailer :)

is it just me or did that firefly have a slight CAJUN accent???

I CANT WAAAAAAAAAIIIT

like they say down at the bayou,

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler































[ this is what happens during exams, u blog excessively]

Ruby

i HATE examinations with a fiery passion of a thousand suns!
Thankfully, i shall be done by this Monday
WHICH consequently, is ayah's birthday as well.

After that monstrosity just now,
i needed a little Disney pick-me-up
a little gaiety and merriment were most welcomed
But of course, HMV didnt even carry Alice in Wonderland
and they charge u a ridiculous amount of 17 pounds for Sleeping Beauty
what nonsense.

but my packages did arrive :)
my Disney pins, BamBam's notebook, ayah's present,the Marc Jacob shoes
and loads and loads of novels! :)))
Joy galore

So much for going to the movies tonite,
[i need to refrain, them jellies are causing my face to break out!!!]

a night in with a good book and a cup of hot tea will be very much appreciated.

" The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid"
Jane Austen, Northanger Abby

Quite eloquent of you, Jane dear
with unbelievable candour,I might add.


p.s i would like to thank Monsieur Mus'ab for remembering to wish me luck for every exam paper eventhough he currently resides in a country around 12 hours of flight away from where i currently am.
In other words, a country i call home.
Which i miss dearly.
or rather the people.
ok i'll stop now.

montagu, c'est moi

'twas a glorious day indeed!!

I know not why I am so merry
As i still have another TWO exam papers to go thru
These past few weeks i've been living in my own little world
[even more so than usual ;p]
I've been reading a lot of regency romances
So when I should be thinking of linear programming,business forecasting, and demand estimations,
The thing that is REALLY running through my mind is...

how GLORIOUS it would be if i were a debutante in regency England
well into my first season and already considered as an ORIGINAL :)
i would have Lord Byron write me a sonnet about my wit and intelligence
and i would have the most dashing dastardly scoundrel of a rake fall in love with me
after all, reformed rakes do make the best husbands :)
[it would be a nice bonus if he were to have a title of say,a duke ;p]
and we would run away to elope in Gretna Green :)

thus, i have decided
during my trip to london
i will not only make a looooong stop at the museum
but maybe a short trip to Almacks is very much needed :))))

Recently,
ive been watching a lot of disney again
[what can u do if ur cooped up at home forced to study,heh]
Namely, Belle and Pocahontas
Since those are the two characters i relate to the most
Ibu used to call me Pocahontas when i was younger
[ i think it was because i was very tanned and i used to get really red in the sun,having my hair in pigtails helped as well i guess]
and i am bookish which is similar to Belle
a regular bluestocking :)))
Plus i like them both because of their strong characters and the fact that they dont allow men to govern their actions.
Consequently, their significant others are very strong alpha male as well which i truly love :)

So here are a few videos from the movie
And you cant tell me their NOT romantic!
I had tears in my eyes watching them!



this scene from Pocahontas they didnt show it originally and theyve only recently released it in the 10th anniversary edition.
But ive always loved this song its unbelievably romantic!
and John Smith is just,WOW



heres the version with jon secada & shanice :)
this one they had it since it first came out
and they have the instrumental on the film as well
i used to play it again and again when i was smaller



today,
the guy at the cashier asked me
"Did you get your top from Urban Outfitter?"
*grins*
My top wasnt actually from Urban Outfitter,
but it was from Paul & Joe sister and they do carry the label in Urban Outfitter
so close enough :))
it made me smile though

oooh and ayah bought me something in Rome!
something Ibu would like to have it for herself
of course i told ibu she should take it and i can always just borrow it
but darling ibu said i should have it since ayah bought it for me yayyyy

so like i said,
glorious day indeed!! :)

p.s sorry for all the nonsensical ramblings but this is what happens to u when u stare at a book for too long or suffer mundane routines every single day throughout exam periods, boo-hoo
