Something supernatural( I can't say for sure) happened yesterday night, or should I say, midnight. I was sure I wasn't imagining things since my sister did also hear weird sounds coming from our closed door. We were in the living room( I was watching this amazin movie which I'll go into further detail later, while my sis was at the comp). at first, it sounded like bells or something, well we didn't pay much attention to it and pass it off as our neighbor's cat taking a stroll along the corridors( midnight? hmmm...). The second time it struck, it was much louder and we were really startled, or more accurately, spooked by it. The sound was accompanied by the tinkling of bells. there was this bumping sound, as if a cat( bells) was banging itself against our door or something. We were really tempted to take a peek outside but decided not to, I mean it could be anything, right?

God. I seriously hope it was something supernatural, but then again, I was also half hoping that it was just a cat( which I'm more logically inclined to believe). Aargh. If it really was something supernatural, then at least there would be something exciting to highlight my otherwise boring holiday. LOL. Am I crazy? Heck. I think I've succumbed to holidays-boredom syndrome. I'm questioning my sanity at this very moment. LOL.

The movie 'My dog Skip'

There was this movie "My dog Skip" on yesterday's Friday Night Supperclub( a ch 5 late night movie time-slot). God. After watching it, it just reaffirms my desire to have a pet dog. But then again, I'm afraid I can't get over its loss if it were to pass on( as in the movie).

It was about the friendship between a boy( the target of school bullies) and a dog( he got it as a birthday present). *boy played by Frankie Muniz* And trust me, Skip was one helluva inspiring dog. He taught Willie( Frankie Muniz) the many important lessons in life, like friendship, loyalty and love. It was set in the 1930s-1940s so America was still at war with the Nazis. And the Americans were also segregated among themselves, The coloreds( afro-Americans, hispaniacs) and the whites. There was this narrative in the movie which goes like this " Like every other dog, Skip was color-blind and he made friends irregardless of their skin color".

I strongly recommend this movie, which is based on a true story, by Willie Morris( yes, he's the owner of Skip), which goes by the same title.

There's something really unique about this lil dog, he's intelligent and totally endearing. There was something uncannily human about Skip, he watches movies with the gang, he understands what they say to him, man he even plays matchmaker to Willie and his crush. Well, as they say the ratio of dog years to man years is 7:1, hence, Skip was already an adult when Willie was just a boy. Well, to Willie, Skip was as wise as time.

Hurrah to Skip, hurrah to all dogs!

Mum, can I have a dog? No? Ah, come on!

Skip!
