Finally, I was able to watch Wall-E today! The movie was boring at first because it doesn’t have any script. But as you go along with the story, you’ll find Wall-E and Eve’s love story hilarious.

I would consider choosing the name of your baby as one of the most important things that you should do before giving birth. This is because your child will carry that name ALL his/her life!
