Coco Chanel and Nine

So, lately I was very addicted in watching movies. This is one of the things I should have accomplish in doing perfectly this summer. Watch as many movies as I can. YEBA! So last night I convinced myself that I'm going to watch "Nine" because Daniel Day Lewis is in the movie. Though I already had a premonition that this movie will be going to be a super-big-size "flop", I still tried it on. And I was right. The movie is a big failure. It doesn't brought the excitement that I want instead it was draggy and too overrated. I hate Kate Hudson in this movie (the fact is, I hate her in all her movies), doing the stripper dance all over just didn't fit her. Its like imagining me, doing a sexy, stripper thing which is gross, right? Penelope Cruz was hot but she doesn't really portray that "hotness". While the rest, I have no idea what they were doing. I decided to watch other film last night, cause I was getting really bored. All those fancy-stripper dance just doesn't work for me, at least.

So, Coco Chanel saved my night. I really have no idea of Chanel's past life until I watched this movie. An ambitious, young lady from France who dreams of becoming an actress instead becoming this fashion icon whom celebrated and fancied by the era today. Such an inspiring story from rags to riches and a very tragic love life, I must say. Coco says ..."I never intend to marry anyone". So, she never did but at least she still leaves the legacy of her style. Audrey Tautou can act! Heavens! I thought she was Coco resurrected. I love her in this movie. I was planning to see Amelie. His leading men are all good and sexy and they speak French, which is so cool. I have never really a big fan of high class fashion, not that I don't adore them or fancy them its just that dreaming of those 10,000 bucks clothes just won't let me even dare to think about it. They are way, way too expensive. I wonder why they have increased the marketing at such a high markings? Coco Chanel is not a socialite for pete's sake! Make her clothes, shoes, hats and bags more affordable! Or maybe, I should try audition in "Nine" and do some strippy dance to make into Hollywood and do porn! Then, I'll be able to buy some Chanel dresses. Hahaha. Just kidding, of course.

Adam

Let me give you a brief summary of the movie. No spoilers, don't

worry. Adam. So this movie is about love, mainly, I think. But its not your typical love plot that end up in a seemingly predictable way. Its about Adam played by Hugh Dancy, who has an Aspeger Syndrome, a kind of autism that mainly have problem dealing and socializing with other people and stuff. His father died so the challenge is for him to survive his seemingly depleting life- getting fired from his job, etc. Until he met Beth played by Rose Byrne, a pre-school teacher. The love story is very cute, though. :)

And all I can say is WOW. This movie end me up crying. Hugh Dancy, my new man by the way, is so perfect in this movie that if I were be able to do so, I give him an Academy Award. He's so hot and cute at the same time, playing the Aspergery guy but still retains his hotness. Don't you like that? Ok, ok. I'm not doing a review about Hugh Dancy, I am quite aware of that. But who can resist his charm? I hate Claire Danes. Anyway, the movie is so good, other than the fact that its a love story, it tells about the authenticity of life. The imperfections, the flaws and the bad things that life can offer you. This is not a feel good movie, actually. I don't feel good at the end of watching it but there's this feeling of lightness in me. A refreshing feeling. Its very unfathomable, its the just the feeling of "lightness".

As for anyone who would want to watch Adam. I highly recommend this movie. Enjoy!

Baby-Sitting

I have been baby sitting for almost 2 weeks now. Almost, because its Friday today. Mind you, baby sitting is not an easy task especially when the one you're baby sitting is as murderous as my little sister. Hahaha. That may exaggerate things a little bit but its quite true, though. Ah! For almost 2 weeks I am now an expert when it comes to nursery rhymes and songs. I have known they already by heart that I could recite, sing with a matching dance interpretation. The songs are stuck in my head that I could actually sing them while I'm sleeping. Baby-sitting is fun. Yeah! Fun, in the sense that I should clean up poos, learn to change diapers, play basketball, get myself downright dirty, eat jelly aces, "un"- clutter "cluttered" things, stuff like that. There are times I lose my patience and get really temperamental, added the heat that is barely tolerable.

While baby-sitting, it made think of things lately. On what might happen this incoming school year. Now that I'm in 3rd year college, not long enough, I'll be graduating with Latin Honor (this would be lovely), we'll be going somewhere outside the country, I'll have a car (yeah, I know how to drive already =) and I'll be going to MED SCHOOL! That's it. Working to be a doctor, what could be more fulfilling than that? But oh! I'm aware of what should I have to go through. I'm aware of the fact that graduating with Latin Honor would really test my ability and most especially my faith. I have been very fortunate to gather some useful information from my reliable college friends. They warned me to be careful in Histology. Huhu, and honestly I'm already fidgetting about it. But I'm quite sick and tired of worrying, so the best thing that I could possibly do is to expect the worse, do my ultimate best and have FAITH!

So I guess, this sums it up. Till next time. :)
