greetings, happy new year, Google Doodle

Check out this cool Google Doodle for New Year’s Eve 2016. Cool, right? This is an animated doodle so you might want to check out google.com for more. Those balloons cannot wait to for 12 midnight to strike and get out of the net. I wonder what surprise Google is cooking up with these balloons once we reached the new year later. I will make sure to ask mum to check this out.

As of this writing, we only have 10 hours and about 5 minutes before we welcome 2017! I busy myself playing with my new toys {those I got for Christmas, which I will share here next} + watching my favorite films on the tellie. While mum types away at the laptop keyboard, I am watching The Poltergeist, which I thought is an awesome film! Mum, meanwhile, busies herself by tidying up at home, doing the last of our 2016 laundry, + preparing for our Media Noche feast. I try to help as much as I can, too! 🙂

What are you up to this New Year’s eve and how do you prepare for 2017?

Here’s wishing everyone a very blessed + fruitful 2017! Cheers to a happy new year! :Cheers:

Cars 3 Trailer

16.12.2016 No Comments

I was overly excited when mum told me about the new trailer for Cars 3! If you are a regular reader of our blog, you probably know by now that I am a big fan of Lightning McQueen + have probably seen his first 2 films about a hundred times! 😀

I have never seen any of Lightning McQueen’s films on the big screen so I am really looking forward to watching Cars 3 at the cinema when it opens next year! 😀 Mum said we’d watch it on IMAX, but I have second thoughts about wearing a cool glasses while watching a film, so I am going to think about that first.

We have no idea on what Lightning’s new adventure will be, apart from what’s been shared on this trailer, but here’s a brief about the new film we got from Wikipedia:

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game he will need the help of eager young female race technician Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Doc Hudson. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet, he will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage against his new rival, Jackson Storm.

Cars 3, the 3rd film in the Cars franchise will be shown on 16 June, 2017, so we only have 6 months to wait until we get to see Lightning McQueen and his gang. Are you also excited about the new Cars film? Which character is your favorite?

There are a number of other films to look forward to in 2017, among them are a number of my favorites. Will be sharing them here next, as soon as mum is done reading all about the cool presonus faderport.
