Valentine’s Day {Movie Review}

by

It’s like Love Actually, but instead of Christmas, the central occasion is Valentine’s Day. The official plot description goes: “Intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine’s Day.” It has a Hollywood star-studded cast and directed by the director of one of the most well-known […]

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

by

I wanna read this. I know, that’s a movie, but it’s based on a book. I’m enamored by fantasy books but movies, not so much. Take Harry Potter for example. I wasn’t impressed by the two movies I had seen before I finally got my hands on book one – then I read all the […]

Avatar, I See You!

by

Better late than never, as the saying goes. We finally watched Avatar this afternoon, after AA wondered if it was a rite of passage that one had to go through in life. I myself was wondering what the fuss was all about and agreed that we ought to watch it. So we watched it in […]

Library Love

by

Guess who just maxed out her library card again? That’s an 8-book limit, by the way, and each book can be borrowed for 3 weeks, renewable for another 3 weeks for free provided the book has not been reserved by someone else. This picture perfectly describes me I think the Singapore libraries are awesome not […]

The First Movie That Made Me Cry

Last week I finished all four books (Blue Bloods, Masquerade, Revelations, Van Alen Legacy) currently out of the Blue Bloods series. I even finished book 3 and 4 in one night. I sat down to finish book 3 in the library after […]

There are Vampires Everywhere

by

Forbes calls it the vampire craze. They’re on the big screen and the small screen. Why are vampires such a favorite staple for entertainment? In real life, would you dig being a vampire’s lover? I certainly would not! Before they made it to the screens, though, they were on paper, coming alive in our imaginations. […]

Sherlock Holmes {Movie Review}

by

Sherlock Holmes is the protagonist of one of my favorite mysteries since I was a child. He was the first world renown detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. I even bought a hardbound compilation of all his stories from a bookstore in Lucky Plaza’s basement. It only cost me S$12. A bloody […]

Did You Have an Imaginary Friend?

by

Today on Facebook: Cel’s Status – Me: When I was your age, the househelp couldn’t iron our clothes. Nina: Why? Me: Because I forced them to play cards with me! Nina: Tita! You should have played with your imaginary friends! @_@ Kids say the darndest things. I never had an imaginary friend, though. Oh, I […]
