P.S. I Love You

This is the most anticapating, sweetest, and moving/touching movie I've ever seen my whole life. It was a book comes to movie, by Cecilia Ahern, and although I haven't read the book yet, I can bet that PS: I love You novel is as touching, as moving, as good as the movie, because having to read other Cecilia Ahern's book (Rose McGowan, I think) I knew her writing was a bom.

I think Hilary Swank is a very good actor for Holly's character (because I have a feeling Cecelia's heroine is her kind) and Gerard Butler is also very sexy as Gerry - perfect combination those two. It was a sad thing to watch how they loved each other so much (they got married at 19 & still love each other until she was 30 & he was 35) and in the middle of the story, Gerry died of brand tumor. Hollie was devastated and couldn't move on. But Gerry had made a plan before he even died. He programmed his letter to send to Holly every weekend starting from her 30th birthday and from there, slowly, he guide her to move on with her life, appreciate her surrounding and her love ones. Having to know her too well, he know she will be devastated of his death so among all the letters, he gave her different surprising gifts for her. First was a birthday cake, then he ask her to buy her a very expensive clothes for his next letter to come, only to find out the next letter was asking her to do karoeke of their favorite song, I will Always Love You Till The End, with the expensive clothes because he know the last time she did it, she had broke her nose in attempt to dance on the stage - so he asked her to try again & enjoy herself. Then he had asked her on the next letter to go to the tour agency where he had booked her a holiday trip to Ireland - his hometown. Yes, he was a very sexy Irish man. There, she experienced lots of adventure, met her in-laws, be reminded again the first time they ever met & had their first kiss, and where she met a new man who she falls into.

His letter continues as he pursue her to live her dream - and not stuck with the job she didn't like, a house agent. The sweetest thing was, all the endings from his letters, signed off with P.S. I love You. His last letter, Holly found out was from her own mother. She found out her mom had helped Gerry in posting all the letters he'd written and planned out for her. And all the paid-trip to Ireland.

All I can say about this movie was it was beautiful. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, and in the end, I decided to check out the book later. Hehe...

Sweet 16

I've read quite a lot of books lately and I love all of it. Some of it were Jinx and Pants On Fire, both by Meg Cabot, In The Stars by (I forgot the 2 writers' name..hehe), Sweet 16 by Kate Brian and finally, still reading How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot. (Quite a collection I got of Cabot's book, eh? haha)
One of the books affect me a lot, that is Sweet 16. It was so touching that I cried (yes, really weeping...you can say I'm emotional, I don't care) because it kind of based on my life. Well, part of my life. Especially the character attitude.
It was about a girl named Teagan who was about to turn 16 and was having an enormous sophisticated party for her sweet 16. She was as obnoxious as a spoiled rich kid always does and was mean to everyone, including her dad and stepmom-about-to-be. When one time, on her bday, she fall down teh stairs in a wine cellar and passed out. She woke up only to find out a strange woman taking her to a journey of her past, present and future. This is just like that story of Mr. Scrooge on Christmas night, if you ever see it anyway.
What affect me was the way the woman (who then Teagan find out was her future self) make Teagan realize everything in her life was just so wrong. She didn't appreciate her own good friends, when all the while just wanted to compete with Lindsee to be the most popular girl in school. Shee broke her childhood friend Emily, she made a woman fired because she had spilled water on her Vera Wang dress and find out that the woman was actually Emily's aunt and tHE stories goes on from there. She find out more that her dad who she thought always busy wit hhis work and doesn't love her, was actually really do love her and kind of dissapointed that she had become someone her mom (she died because of cancer) wouldn't want her to be. So when she woke up again, she had a chance to change her future life (which was horrible when she visits it with her future self because no one likes her and no one even bothered to come to her own funeral. O yeah, she died because of too many surgery on her chin...how shallow is that?) and become someone who her mom would be proud of.
And i guess all of this just made me realize, some of my attitude (some only) taht was similar to Teagan should be change...
