The Spectacular Now.



SUTTER KEELY. HE’S the guy you want at your party. He’ll get everyone dancing. He’ ll get everyone in your parents’ pool. Okay, so he’s not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men’s shirts for a living. But there are plenty of ladies in town, and with the help of Dean Martin and Seagram’s V.O., life’s pretty fabuloso, actually. Until the morning he wakes up on a random front lawn, and he meets Aimee. Aimee’s clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it’s up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee’s not like other girls, and before long he’s in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else’s life—or ruin it forever.-- goodreads
So i've just finished reading this book and I can't wait to watch the movie. I've been picturing Sutter Keely a hundred times in my mind as I  flip the pages all the way through the end. A cool alcoholic high school student who always lives in the present and never bothered to think about his future. He even met Aimee, whom I thought could change his point of view in life. Still, in the end, he never let anybody control him or his decisions (although I feel like it left me hanging and I was a bit sad about it too..)

500 Days of Summer.



After it looks as if she's left his life for good this time, Tom Hansen reflects back on the just over one year that he knew Summer Finn. Despite being physically average in almost every respect, Summer had always attracted the attention of men, Tom included. For Tom, it was love at first sight when she walked into the greeting card company where he worked, she the new administrative assistant. Soon, Tom knew that Summer was the woman with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life. Although Summer did not believe in relationships or boyfriends - in her assertion, real life will always ultimately get in the way - Tom and Summer became more than just friends. -- imdb
I've finished watching this movie today and.. what can i say? it's like a big red warning for all those people who wanted to fall in love. A warning that says be careful with whom you'll fall for and that happiness doesn't last forever. That we may just be living in the idea of love. A fantasy. He/she can make you feel like the most wonderful person today and then make you the most miserable man tomorrow. Summer never believed in love, she just does what makes her happy. Tom, on the other hand, believes in destiny. They did everything that lovers do. They were happy for a moment until one day.. it was all gone. That's what makes falling in love so scary, people's feelings are not consistent. But it's the reality. It's inevitable and we can't do anything to prevent it from happening. If you want a dose of reality in relationships, watch this. Just be ready to say goodbye to your childhood fantasies and happy endings.

A Little Thing Called Love.



"The ordinary 14 year old girl Nam is unattractive or in simple terms...ugly. But she's always been secretly in love with an older guy in grade 10 called Chon, the most popular student in high-school. He's hot, perfect and generous, and that's what makes girls go crazy about him, including Nam too. But she doesn't give up easily. She tries to do everything to make her get noticed by the boy she loves, in the hope of him turning around to look at her just one more time." - asianmediawiki

I have this movie for about 2 weeks now but I never watched it until today. I told my bestfriend I wasn't going to watch it alone because I might not like the movie and fell asleep, lulz. But then as the movie goes, I can relate to almost everything that's happening. Well, I did those kind of stuffs. Like, excusing myself just to get a glimpse of my crush, treasuring every little thing he gave me and even calling him just to hear his voice (but I never scream like Nam in the movie, I just keep it to myself and hung up). Stalker much? Nah. Just inlove. :)) This movie is perfect for every teen/girls inlove. I was inspired and it actually made me realize that waiting for the one you truly love, and doing the best you can for him/her has the greatest reward an inlove person could achieve. We may receive heartaches along the way, but that's part of it. Perfect movie. I love it and I superbly recommend it. :)) ♥♥♥

Attack on the Pin-Up Boys.



"There have been mysterious instances in which male students from different high schools are getting ambushed and covered in foul-smelling dung. All victims have large egos and believe they are handsome! High school students from all around the nation are interested in who is going to be the next victim. All the boys who were targets these of terror attacks become national stars. They were at first annoyed by these attacks but, on the other hand they think that getting attacked can prove that they are the best looking guy, so they end up trying hard to get attacked and happily covered with foul-smelling dung. When one boy from the list gets attacked, it later comes out that there was no ambush. It was a big fat lie. So who is going to be the next victim?" - asianmediawiki

Although it has been almost four years since the release of this movie, I've just finished watching it today. I read the plot and it caught my interest (who would've thought that they were so eager to have that crap thrown at them, yikes!) But it's.. so hilarious. :D You should watch it~ :) I wasn't really into SuJu but when I saw the cast and the way they act, I somehow liked them. The ending song is super cute too. Wonder Boy~ Lalala. Oh and the bear, he's soo adorable (he looks more like a panda than a bear to me o.O). Ok i'm off~ gotta read the new e-books I bought on FB. ♥ Ja'ne!
