Eat, Pray, Love & the Assumptionists

RANDOM MUSING:
Can I just share? Here's a pic of me and my mini-me...


Belly and I are wearing my old Assumption neckties on our heads. I really can't wait until she starts school.. not because I want the kids out (haha), but because I am just so excited to see my little mini-me look just like how I was when I was young. Well, of course all our girls will be Assumptionistas! As for the boys.. uh, well that is still up for debate... I think. ha ha. Can't help but think back to my Assumption days (Grade school and High school), and there was nothing but really fun and great memories there... a lot of long lasting friendships. I am truly blessed to have such great friends around me.

Okay, enough of that random thought. ha ha.


MOVIE REVIEW: EAT, PRAY, LOVE




So I just finished watching the much publicized movie of Julia Roberts, Eat. Pray. Love. I guess this was based on the book of the same title, but can't compare since I have not read the book yet. As for the movie... it felt like a B movie with A-list actors... very disappointing since the movie had great PR, Oscar winning actors and produced by Brad Pitt's production outlet (Plan B). I guess I was just expecting a bit more... more depth in the story since I didn't really get the whole process Julia Roberts' character was going through... the stories were not 'smooth' and complimentary. Characters were not built up well enough for me.. even Julia Roberts' character was blah. The countries featured was a saving grace since you'd tend to focus more on the scenery and the richness of the cultures rather than the story line. I would love to try Pizza in Naples, have a cappuccino in Italy, roam the temples in India and just relax and revel in the beauty of Bali. I'd surmise that those 3 countries represent feature the title, Eat (Italy), Pray (India), Love (Bali).  I'd much rather Eat, Pray and Love than watch this movie.
