I immediately downloaded the movie when a fellow blogger mentioned how her brother cried so much while watching it.

I haven’t really blogged about it but we have a new addition to the family. He is a mixed breed – black and white, and hasn’t got my tall genes. He is a dog named Scamp, a present from “Santa” for the kids.

I figured it will our Family Movie last Saturday (We try to watch one movie as a family) and it was nice. I was touched – but that goes to show how much a non-dog lover I am. The husband though cried buckets. He cried twice.

And now my son wants a big dog and he will name him Hachiko. Niiiiiiiice.

The husband wants an akita dog (a royal breed of dogs for Japanese) and wants him named Hachi.

Here is the synopsis:

An American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work (Too bad the station doesn’t have nice patio furniture like at his master’s house!). Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love.

I know – where have I been all this time. But I have always been behind in trends. I read books that have been read by 90% of people I know. I listen to songs that 8 weeks behind, and watch seasons when DVDs of them come out. I might as well open merchant account for all the past books I’ve been hoarding, they are collectibles already!

Glee is High School Musical corni-fied for me. But I still love it! Who doesn’t want the mini-musicals you see in each episode? And while everybody drools over Finn and Puck, I am setting my eyes on the geek himself, high school teacher Will Schuester! Have you see him dance (he is like an older, geekier version of JT for me!).
