Hello people.

Haven't blogged in a while. Well, in these few days, I finished the last of my Christmas shopping, watched Twilight in the cinemas, finished 'Message in a Bottle' by Nicholas Sparks, and watched it as well as 'A Walk to Remember' online.

Twilight was okay actually. They changed a lot, as I expected. They took out like two of my favourite parts. Oh and the baseball game wasn't disappointing. Haha. But Robbert Pattinson seriously only looks good from very few and specific angles. I'm serious. Overall it was pretty okay I guess. Stephenie Meyer was in it for like a few seconds, lol. I watched it with my brother in the end, the ticket auntie thought he was my boyfriend -.- lol.

Message in a Bottle was really beautiful. Lynn jiejie was saying that all his stories were the same. I was expecting a sad ending, but I thought it would end with Garrett and Theresa not ending up together, because Claudia said it was kind of like 'p.s. I love you'. But it was way worst than that. I was caught completely by surprise and I cried like mad. But there is something about it, you know, that teaches you something. So it doesn't seem that bad. I mean, this kind of thing happens right? I reality it's not always fairytale endings.

But seriously, in all the recent books I've been reading, 'p.s. I love you' , 'Message in a Bottle' plus 'A Walk to Remember', it seems like all the characters were so blessed to have found love yet to have it taken away from them so quickly. I'm serious, all the books are like that. But 'p.s. I love you' and 'Message in a Bottle' was pretty similar actually. But 'Message in a Bottle' was way better. Though I still liked 'p.s. I love you' anyway, it was slightly boring though, and a little predicted.

Oh but 'Message in a Bottle' the movie.. Woah, they changed it like mad. It was worst than how they changed twilight. They changed Garrett's and Theresa's jobs. They changed where Theresa lived. They changed Kevin's name and age. They completely took out Deanna, which was sad, she was quite a character. And Brian for that matter. They changed the plot quite a bit. And how Garrett died was changed too. And they even spelled his name differently. And there are loads more I can name. But anyway, it was 'inspired' by his book, maybe they intentionally changed stuff here and there. But if you ask my opinion, the book was way better, as always.

The next book I'm gonna read is most probably 'If you could see my now' by Ceceilia Ahern' I hope it has a happy ending. I think I've been reading and watching too many sad endings for once. Haha. And then I'm going to try and get 'the Notebook' and 'A Walk to Remember', oh and I might even read 'Pride and Prejudice' Lol. I saw 'the Notebook' in Harris at Great World! The stock finally came in! I hope it doesn't disappear again before I get it! Oh and there's still 'Where Rainbows end' by Ceceilia Ahern and 'Changed of Heart' by Jodi Picoult, which I think I will borrow from Livia. But I do want my collection of CA and NS books. Haha. Then there's still 'the Power of Five' series that Claudia mentioned. Which I'll most probably get from a library. So many books to read, and so little time.

Well, I should most probably sleep now. I still have a lot of Christmas stuff to do actually. Like my Christmas cards! Especially the ones I'll be mailing, and of course, wrapping of Christmas presents. Think I spent quite a lot this year :p Oh wells. Did I mention that I got Season 5 and 6 of friends for Christmas? From my family. Haha! I'm aiming to get the entire collection. It'll probably take me years. Haha!

Well Good Night!
