I remember way back in the day (oh boy here we go again :))) when I was still in my school days first day of class in the New Year teachers will make you write papers about how's your New Year,Christmas and other turn of events was? before I was thinking to better write them in advance but then I was like nah! because not all was like that but it was one of those simple joys reminiscing and reflecting,asking yourself,jotting it down how fruitful or merry my life been.I got confused one time what's the difference in such papers since they are all asking the same things haha! anyway, that was something to look forward to .Then seeing my friends for the first time in the longest time of all breaks even though it's only been like a week or two weeks tops.The School became an instant jungle quite an uproar really haha!I love it! no officials or school authority could ever stop the students for they would be labelled as KJ (Kill Joy) plus they are all chattering away as well.Consider it quits haha!

And so one of many main points/ questions would be and perhaps some of things I'll be doing this year ;)

1. New Year's Resolution.In which I'll be glad to share to you Meekakitty's one of many great youtube videos pointing out about such question.

make sure you tune in til the last bit she featured one of my favorite songs: So much by Asiah Mehok ^_^

2.To keep the motivation up and runnin >>> Don't break the Chain <<<click this link and you'll instantly be transported haha I mean redirected to Karen Kavett's blog post. (oh and I read the comment section I'm not such if Karen already changed it but it lacks october 13 ;)

3.I also joined the Day Zero Project wherein I'll try to keep track of my goals,dreams,hopes and aspirations in life.Join in as well it's free! XD (Try to google Day Zero Project for more info)

4.I'll be keeping a Memory box.I already made 3 boxes last year I started December 21st that idea came up with my Friend Marion.

5.Life Documentation.A-ha! perhaps I'll do a mix video + pictures though others seems to do just one thing I typically enjoy the wonders and joys of both.

6.Keep up with my journals or at least write something haha! 

7.Live and Enjoy the present moment!

And as for challenges I'll try to keep it down low.I participated last year in a few I enjoyed it but I just like taking my time reading or whatever.Oh yeah I managed to post at least fifty seven times (57) woohoo! w:ow even though how busy I was I still did it yey! also 18,000+ pageviews I can't even :O

So Cheers to 2012! \\_// \\_// my ventures had been very fruitful! and here's to 2013 \\_// \\_// full of life,abundant,joyful,merry,glorious,hope,victorious triumphs!Follow your bliss,be happy and God bless everyone! ^_^v

My thoughts,rating and overall movie experience:

Many thanks to Aunt Susan who treated us for this wonderful Christmas movie it's been quite part of the tradition in our family to watch and go to the movies every year well except for last year. But anyway, I got some ideas about the movie I managed to get a glimpse of some parts from the trailer and advertisements etc. it's been a couple of years since I actually watched the other versions so yeah truly looking forward watching them all unfold.

The Child Cosette is so adorable and absolutely perfect for the role then Amanda Seyfried is the perfect grown up match Cosette and Eddie Redmayne (Marius) he's so french they are the perfect couple in this movie ever! Their love triangle in which I feel so sorry for Samantha Barks (Éponine) 

The moment I saw that they cut off Anne's hair I know for sure that she's gonna win an award!

and she did a wonderful job! she sang her heart out,portrayed a vulnerable character,flexible in many ways.

Sacha Baron Cohen (Thénardier) and Helena Bonham Carter (Madame Thénardier) these two made me laugh a lot of times! Master of the house is one of my all time favorite number such a Cray cray couple.

Éponine, took number one with her ON MY OWN song (timeless piece ever!)

OMG! look at Samantha Barks's tiny waist :O I wish and would like mine's like that haha! I think that's the first one I noticed and the next would have to be is that she's quite a look a like of the one playing Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) in Once upon a time

I haven't heard or know Samantha until I googled her apparently she's been through a lot of broadway shows or so yeah! amazing voice and lovely too.

The last scene in the movie actually is truly a tear jerker I thought I'm the only one but then I heard quite a number of sniffles here and there so I'm relieved I'm not alone! haha! I'll give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars it made me cry especially towards the end I wouldn't even thought of it but the way the musical goes and spoke to my heart w:Ow I actually got a heart! haha! I would most definitely buy this in Blu-ray!

One Day (Movie)

Genre: Drama,Romance,Contemporary
Minutes: 107
Release Date: August 19,2011
Story line: 

Emma and Dexter meet on the night of their university graduation. We see them every year on the anniversary of that date - July 15th. Emma is smart but success doesn't come quickly for her, whereas for Dexter, success and women come very easily. Through the years they grow apart as their lives take different directions and they meet other people. But as they grow apart from those other people and their lives start taking opposite directions again, Emma and Dexter find that they belong with each other.(more)

My thoughts,rating and overall movie experience:

5 out of 5 stars! CLASSIC!

This scene made me want to watch the movie in the first place and I do admit I cried a lot watching this film and no matter how many times I watched this.OMG! it's very faithful to the book. Anne Hathaway & Jim Sturgess their very existence is the perfect embodiment of Emma and Dex.

They're like my favorite fictional couple of all time! XD

I dunno what else to say about this I think I already said everything in my book review it's just so Perfect! because usually whenever they make a book to movie adaptation they change or revise some things even though the playwrite is the author but this movie oh no they totally made this truly a great match for every events.I like how they laid it out plain and simple with the dates so that people who haven't read the book would still know and of course for all of us to be reminded of oh so that was this year then that was last year etc.

I've been looking forward to this movie for a very long time and it was worth it!Good job and hands down to everyone who made this film possible.I would definitely recommend this to everyone and buy it in Blu-ray!^^,

Have you seen this?what are your thoughts about it? if so tell me your favorite parts,opinions etc. if you haven't also tell me why?are you planning to watch this anytime soon or what? make sure to tell me in the comments below ^^,
