movies and books

I saw some parts of a couple of interesting movies last weekend: The Young Victoria and Julie and Julia. both of these movies had really great reviews the year they came out but unfortunately I didn't get to see them. It's a good thing they're now shoing them on Star Movies and HBO.

Aside from finding both movies quite empowering, there's another thing I realized...I want to be Emily Blunt and Amy Adams (not at the same time...hehehe!). I know that these past few days I've been talking about how I want to be Jennifer Lopez...hahaha...but there's something about Emily and Amy's effortless beauty that makes them irresistible to men and inspiring to women.






There's one thing that has been keeping me busy these days...READING. It's not very often that I really invest much time on reading, I'm probably the only literature major in the world who doesn't read much :p so when I do decide to invest much time (and actually much money) on reading a book it just means that it's really good (or I'm sick :P).

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott is a really good read. I know it's a young adult book and I know you'd expect much more from a 32 year old literature major...hahaha..just be happy that I'm reading. What I found interesting about this book is how it was able to combine science and magic, history and mythology and it didn't hurt that it's also action packed...it's the perfect formula for readers who have ADD...like me. I'm already done with the first book...there are three other books. I'll be done with the second one in a while and I can't wait to get the third one.
