I came home early that afternoon and systematically switched on the television. My language professor adviced me to watch the tube even if I don't understand anything. She said that my ears would eventually get used to the accent. It's the gateway to understanding the language.

A movie preview has been playing, the Independence Day or Terminator kind of film. I was searching for Harrison Ford or Arnold Schwarzenegger or why not Will Smith, but I saw nobody. Some exclamations from other unknown actors was amusing me, somebody just shouted 'holy f***** christ' (of course this wasn't dubbed), quite fun, I should watch this film.

After minutes of the same movie trailer, I started to zap.. TF1.. France 2.. France 3.. Arte.. M6.. the same movie preview on all channels, at an almost synchronized sequence. I guess, even if you don't understand the language, you will understand something. I just couldn't believe it was happening.

... that was 5 years ago, 2 and a half weeks after my arrival here in France.


On the lighter side..

Since her 6th month, she could sit down on her own but we had to plant her for a start. She could jump up and down but would stay in the same place for hours. Last week, at 9 months and 3 weeks old, we saw her helping herself to sitting position. We then saw her sitting on her bed playing with her toys after each siesta. Last Friday, I told frenchguy that Louna would probably start to crawl the week after. Surprise. She crawled the next day, Saturday, at 10 months and 1 day old. See her live at Ma Crèche Privée.

that was a bit of 'lost in translation' wasn't it? the lighter side of 9/11 indirect experience, if ever morality accepts one.

Soy, yep, it was quite like that.

Francesca, fave doudou ba naman nya, we call it bébé sa ngayon, pero she will decide for the name later. 3 kaya ganyan nya hahaha..

yep, that's our purpose too, for her to see her developments paglaki nya, kasi ako pictures lang, walang action hehe.

Charles, having a baby is really magic. why not opt for adoption?

Zingtrial, thanks ;)

If Odd and moi get married soon. Well, he plans to adopt but I prefer to really have my own flesh and blood. That's why I am giving hints to my lesbian friends if they also wanted to have a baby as well.

she's so lovely as usual! and so mobile!

my little guy can sit up now by himself, but we have to hover around him in case he topples over (he's still on the wobbly side). by the way, when did louna start holding her own bottle? this guy is lazy!
