My OLD BLOG

It's 12:44 am in here. I just look at my clock when I started writing this. It's a bit late 'coz I'm the only one awake in here in our house and just finished watching -for the fifth time already- "Burlesque".



Ali/Alice(Christine Aguilera) is an orphan from Iowa who left her hometown to go to Los Angeles.  A small town girl with a super size talent (as quoted by this site) who looks for a job and end up in the lounge own by Tess(Cher). Captivated by the show she just watched, she decided she wants to perform up on that stage. She's determined and very persistent but really good at heart.

The plot was so great that it captivates my heart. The characters was very endearing and you couldn't resist loving them all. Christina Aguilera was so talented and her character was so lovable. Plus, Jack (Cam Gigandet of Twilight) whose eyes was so sexy and I think he is a very gentle guy. I also like Georgia(Julianne Hough) for the reason that she doesn't just pretty and gorgeous but she is also a very talented/professional dancer. I love to watch her dance countless times. And Nikki(Kristen Bell) who has the same name as mine so I feel akin to her. HAHA. Just the name okay. Not the looks and the talent. Not that. I just so surprise to see her character as the antagonist because I first watched her in When in Rome and Couple's Retreat on which she's kind, demure, gentle and she played the protagonist one. But I'm not upset on that I was also glad to see her in this. She's sexy and talented too. Though I don't see her dance so long like Julianne and Christina. I still love her. Yay!!
Then, there's Sean(Stanley Tucci), who I first saw in The Devil Wears Prada, I like him here! He's the same as he is in the "The devil wears prada". He is such a great supporting actor. Yay. I also love the songs! All of it. Absolutely into the Burlesque Soundtrack. My favorite of all is "Bound to you". I so love it!

All in all, I utterly love the movie. Everything in it! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥




"Sweet love, sweet love, trapped in your love.... I found the man I can trust and boy I believe in us. I am terrified to love for the first time. Can't you see that I'm bound in chains. I finally found my way. I am bound to you."

I had read a nice novel last night and finished it at 5 am in the morning. I can't sleep, thinking on what will happen next. I'm craving for the next scenes and happenings that it washed away all the sleepiness I felt. I tried to sleep, cover my face with a big pillow that I was having a hard time breathing. That was one of the way I sleep. My head covered with a big and heavy pillow that it pushes my obstinate skull to rest. And it really helped most of the times. But in some crucial times where my head was really not into it. I just lay awake with my eyes closed trying really hard to sleep but still I can't. I positioned myself as comfortable as possible and nothing helped at all. I just make myself more awake. But then the story I had read, kept me awake this time. The novel is, "Not that kind of girl" I forgot the author. But I'll searched it up later. The author is Siobhan Vivian. I think that's her pseudonym though I'm not certain. Oh this supposed-to-be-about-the-book-post turned again into a lame post of mine. Lame. Lame. Lame. Lame. Anyway, this is just my babbling so it's okay I guess. xD

Currents:

I'm currently into Bokura wa Itsumo(We were always). It has a very touching story . Four teenagers who were dwelling to find what truly love is, wanting someone, hide their emotions, and love with all their might. It's nice or even great to see such gorgeous characters with such a nice storyline, very interesting and captivating, in a one pack of a manga. I love it!
I'm kinda disappointed though, they still don't release the chapter 16. Release it please! If I could do the scanlating, I will.

Sakurada, Nori - a cute short haired girl who was talkative, very thoughtful and helpful. She, Haruna, Saeka and Kyou were childhood friends though Haruna came when they were around grade school and spent a little time and went back on the city without any notice.
Mishima, Saeka - a chubby girl when she was little but suddenly change to a gorgeous, pretty girl as she went on in high school. She loved their calligraphy teacher back then when they were elementary but he left and she just waited until she was sixteen as he promised her that he will be back for her or rather visit.
Murakami, Kyousuke - a young heir of their family who was called the platinum prince by many. He has it all, looks, money, and intelligence though Saeka called him idiot. He, Saeka and Nori were childhood friends.
Sekikawa, Haruna - a mysterious boy who showed up in Nori/Saeka/Kyou's lives when they were in elementary. Nori cheered him up whenever he looked gloomy, depressed and alone. He had a dark past as her mother took suicide in a river with him on tow but only he was saved.




I really suck at explaining. I only explained it halfway 'cause I'm really lacking at I don't know what. Anyhow, the manga made me cried a lot, as in a lot. It was really touching and I like how the story revolved around them. Leaving them caught off guard many times. A must recommend manga. Read it. ♥
