Topic: Going To The Movies


1. What was the last movie you saw at the theater?

I really really can’t remember!  I don’t think I have been to the movies for almost a year.

But does Spiderman 2 on DVD count?

2. Did you enjoy watching it? Why or why not.

Can’t answer this one.  But if it’s on Spiderman 2, yes I quite liked it.

3. What’s the next movie you wish to go see in the theater?

Frustration station

Grrr…I have been trying to comment on a few blogs but my comments keep disappearing.  What’s wrong with WordPress?

Shall I take this as a sign that I should stop and take a break?

Noteworthy Posts (22 Jan)

I think most of you must be wondering by now what has happened to your posts.  I have been trying my utmost to read and comment on it.  There are several excellent and insightful posts – definitely much better than the usual paper ones that I have received in the past year.  Keep up the good work!

The original plan was to mention a list of bloggers in our class with noteworthy posts.  But I found myself forgetting them as I went along.  So, I think I am going to mention them each time I start marking blogs.  Please visit their blogs and comment on their posts too as some of our classmates have written extremely well.

Today’s noteworthy posts:

1. Ain – 4C

2. Salihin – 4C (You redeemed yourself!)

3. Averil – 4D
