Last night I also saw Legally Blonde 2. Its an M = memorable.
The movie was so funny. What I like the most about the movies is that it destroys the stereotyping that blondes are brainless.

Today for the first time I ate two whole kiwi fruit. It was so yummy. Its like nothing that I have tried before. The flesh was just right. I love the crackling sound of the seeds crushing in my mouth. The only thing I didn’t like about is that it can be too [...]
