As some want to call it, it's the end of an era.

The last and final episode of the popular Hannah Montana Forever (season 4) aired last night in the US.

I know, I have taken the show off the list of what my kiddos can watch due to some obvious reasons and all. But it did not mean I stopped watching it myself.

I believe I have missed only 3 to 4 episodes of the show the past 4 years. I have practically watched the cast grow in front of my very eyes, in the tube.

And so it comes to an end.

I am glad Miley chose college.

I am glad Lilly went off to reach for her dreams even without her bestfriend. She had been the pilar of Hannah's life. She maybe a whimsical character but she showed she has strong backbones under those hilariously cute wigs she puts on every week.

Im glad Jackson got his dream job, however a little off reality. Hey, it's a Hannah Montana show!

hahahahaha

Got really tearful during the montage they did at the end credits.

Good bye Miley!

It was a cool and awesome ride with you!

In between assignments and mommy duties I had been whacking my brains for movie titles I have missed for the past 2 years and download them to my iTouch. Now have several but I've not taken a peek at any of them. Saving them for times that I'd totally get knocked out bored. Last night was an exception though.
Hannah Montana The Movie.
You know how the actress/singer Miley Cyrus has been getting mixed reviews as of late for her teen-age "ways". But I don't buy those rumours and tabloidey stuff either. I just let them Hollywood spirits be. Afterall nobody really knows what goes on in those heads. So I'm not partial to any of them. I take them as they come, as they are. This 17-yeard-old has been making headlines lately in my mind. I think her songs are pretty cool. Her dances, moves, maybe not be for my 6-yr-old but I like them. So last night, when everyone was busy with watching the news I was watching Hannah Montana.



Surprise! Surprise! She's good. Okay, so it's not a complete surprise, I've been watching her on tv the past years. But the movie, inspite of all the bashes it had received is actually good. This clip most importantly.
Doesn't this reflect me?
I was moved.
It was like they just had one camera guy over there going wherever he pleases. And by the looks of it, he didn't even care about carrying along a lighting guy with him. You can tell it was a hot day. Miley's face gets shadowed over with all the sunny back lighting. But of course, I can never tell. They could have reflectors and diffusers all around, giant giant giant big ones. Of course they had extra lighting. Or again, maybe not. I don't know. But I love the scene. Love the cinematography on this one. Formula, yes, of course. The troubled teener whose gaze sweeps from one important character's face to another. I expected her to faint. But then again, that wouldn't make any sense coz they were going to have a successful fund raising of a concert. And so she non-chalantly says,"I can't do this.", under her breath. I love how she appears unmade up. It's like a scene from an all out rock concert. The glaring heat of the sun, the crowd, the simple costume, the tied up hair.
And I love the song.
I have the whole soundtrack in my playlist.
Last night it all came together.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
or...happy 2 days after halloween night..! hihihihi...
What a weekend! Busy busy busy!
You know how it is during halloween, it's one big production in our household. Even though this year we were a little 'subtle' with the holidays we were still caught in its joyful frenzy.
The picture above was in 2006. We all went out as the Addams Family, minus Pogsly (we dont have a male child, hehehe). Joel was Gomez, I was Morticia and Alyssa was Wednesday Addams.
We roamed the dark streets of Mahogany Groove with the JOpsons. What a blast we had!


And year 2007 was the year of the Disney tv movie, High School Musical. We were obssessed! Zombie-obssessed seriously!!! I hand sewed Alyssa's red cheerleader uniform with glittery sequined E (for East High school) and pomspoms. Learned from the 2006 trick or treating that one pumpkin bag just wasnt gonna do it. So we printed this big paper HSM bag for them candies. Alyssa won best costume in one party. Ava was a fairy princess. But the ruffles and tutu bothered her so much she kept pulling them off, thus the absence of any photo of her.


This was the growing up halloween. Alyssa dressed as no other than the teen pop star of the year, Hannah Montana!!! Found a blonde wig, took a vintage shirt from a flea market, hand-sewed the gold beads (and on the pants), found a pair of black boots and VIOLA!!! She had the best of both worlds! HAHAHAHA! And that gold belt, its actually my sequin headband. hehe


...ohhhh dear little miss DORA THE EXPLORER!!! Isnt she a peach??? Boots the monkey is in her backpack.
Presenting... 2009...
I wanted to go Korean and dress up as Jandi of Boys over Flowers but the kids wanted to go as witches. This time we got ourselves costumes off from the rack. My pretty witches!!!



Hope you all had a wonderful halloween!!!
