...musicals

And since we are on the subject of movies and musicals and cute actors...

The whole household has lately been breaking out into the song, "HOw does she know you love her..." spontaneously and without warning I might add. Spontaneous, without warning, means the same thing siguro. Even my sweet 1-year-old puchicoo babe, Ava, raises up her hand and head whenever she hears that song, just like Giselle in the movie. JOel surprised the kids one night with the dvd but they didnt get to watch it till the next morning. I was still in deep slumber when from a distance I could hear a girl singing "...how does she know she's yours..." plus there was something raggae about it. It was like I floated toward the voice like a dream. I was dreaming. Then I hear Alyssa's laughter and Ava's giggle. Hmmm, I think, both girls in the room. Must be past 9am. You see, Joel had been letting me oversleep past 8am, taking care of the kids when he wakes up at 7. By then Ava would be awake, he'd be playing with her for awhile before he gets his breakfast or jogs. By 8, Alyssa would be waking up too. By some luck, both girls would not disturb me. Before Joel leaves for work, he'd have Ava playing already and have set up everything for Alyssa's morning activities. Since it's summer vacation, this would be doses of morning Dora the explorer show on tv. but the past days I have been waking up to The Enchanted. Forget that McDreamy's there. And James Marsden. No no no no cant forget mcDreamy. Cant escape his face. Giselle is such a lovely girl played by Amy Adams. Who has mastered the art of keeping her arms afloat just like in animated films. She moves soooo "cartonish" and I love it! It's amazing! Susan Sarandon much!!! "Hello, worthless" dont you just love the sound of her voice when she said that? Love her voice. Period. Loved her since Bull Durham.

The little girl. I have actually started buying the girls more skirt and simple shirts to match. The only time I was sad was when I saw Giselle's gown at the ball. I know it was supposed to make her stand out. But I just thought with all those bags and the amount of shopping they did, I just thought the outfit would have more omph. Why did they straighten her hair? Im sure they wanted to have contrast with her looks but a little curly curly would have been nice. The Oscars. 4 songs from the soundtrack were nominated. 4? or 3? I forgot. Freakily, hahahahaha, ...freakily... the song NOT from the movie, won. Im a sucker for musicals. I love this film. Alyssa seems to have an inkling for musicals Ive noticed.
