Toy Story 3

I couldn't wait. I went to a movie theatre to watch a movie "Toy Story 3" !!

I fall in love with Woody again... He's so cool and lovely...
And the funniest part is when Buzz starts speaking Spanish!
So funny...

I really wanted the real size doll of Woody...
Yet I gave up about it since I still have many stuffed animals at home.

Someday soon, I'm gonna watch the movie 2!
