Movie Review; A Walk to Remember

             Oh hey! Now, let me tell you about the movie 'A Walk to Remember' starring Mandy Moore and Shane West. It's a film that's concentrated between people having completely different personalities, yet they fell for each other. Well, most of you might think it's boring because it's focused on love, but this film isn't your ordinary love story where the couple fell in love at first sight. This a film where.. oh wait, I don't want to spoil you just yet! I'm just going to tell you a summary of the movie to make you understand it better. Am I taking this too long? :P Uh, okay then. Let's start.

          In a city called California, a prank on a student went terribly wrong and puts the student into the hospital. Landon Carter, a young teenage guy who started the prank, was caught by the police and was then forced to be responsible and do community services every weekend. One of his community services was to play a lead role at a theater play in their school. By then, he knew of Jamie Suvillan; a teenage girl who wants to discover a miracle and has nothing in common with Landon. By the time Landon decided to make his life more serious, he asked Jamie for help with his lines.. but before Jamie said yes, she told him to not ever fall in love with her. Landon agreed. They would practice their roles each day and little by little, their relationship grew stronger. Landon then discovers that he's starting to fall in love with her. He felt that Jamie was her inspiration, someone who actually believes and will be with him. Though Jamie doesn't want him to, Landon proved that he would change just for her and will be willing to wait even if it'll take forever. And by the middle of their relationship, Landon knew a heart-breaking secret of Jamie which left him speechless and hopeless. It was then when Landon and Jamie found the real meaning of love and fate.

                 This movie left me speechless! It was amazing on how real the love story was, on how two opposite people attracts. I love how Landon wasn't shallow on how Jamie looks like. Other movies I've seen always emphasized that the couple should be both 'popular' to make them look cute enough, but it isn't always about popularity or how you dress; it's always about the personality. That you should first know the person before you judge them. This movie left me at a various of emotions. To be honest, I even cried! I give this movie a rating of 8 out of 10 and I would totally recommend this to people who would want to see something new (: 

Am I in or out?

           In fashion industry, it doesn't always concentrate on the latest clothing; it's mostly about your own personal style. Having your own style is like a symbol which represents who you really are as a person. It's your trademark to people. If you're scared that you might be laugh at, though, just ignore the bullies and concentrate at being you. It doesn't make a big deal if they don't like your style; they're probably just jealous of you. Wearing clothes that you're comfortable with is better than wearing the ones that you feel discussed of. So just be yourself and be confident in what you wear! Don't forget to trust yourself, okay? You never know, you might be a fashion designer someday!

            I think this would be a nice idea to encourage people to just be themselves; to not be a different person. Most of the people today are hiding themselves under a rock. Well, we probably know why.. they're being judged of what they look like. Even myself is still insecure of people. To be honest, no one could ever remove that feeling to ourselves! What I don't understand is, our generation likes to insult people nowadays. Is it because of their power? or they just want to be recognized and look cool? Remember, we're all equal and special. We're just humans! So no need to brag if you're better at this or that.

watchit.

Life in space?

                 An ice and organic compound on an asteroid had been first detected on April 28, 2010. This new amazing discovery led to theories that an asteroid and comet that crashed into the Earth's surface billion years ago, gave the planet life essentials like water and carbon-based molecules. In further studies, NASA have found out that 24 Themis, which orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter, has a thin coating of ice. But think about it though, how could a hot asteroid from billion years ago form and contain ice?

               An extremely hot asteroid.. has ice in it? Whoa, is that even possible? I think this would be a great step for humans to know if there would be life outside Earth; if there would be real living creatures in space. Hmm, aliens I suppose? Wait, what did you say? No? Well, I don't think so. No one knows yet. Both of us might be wrong or right. Well, the space is an incredibly big galaxy so there are still more possibilities that will be yet to discover.

Invisible Buildings

                As you walk by the street of Boulevard de Courcelles, you may notice an old vintage building. It's not an ordinary building, though. It's structure number 72 have been found a neighbor of building 78. Now, to come think of it.. where are the buildings 74 and 76? Plans Parcellaires detailed that there was once buildings 72, 74, and 76 but no 78! Weird, eh? It seems to happen that the buildings 74 and 76 were demolished and put into a single building; which is now the building 78. But the question is, why would they demolish a building that is a part of a history? It still remains a mystery.

               I still don't get it. Why couldn't Plans Paracellaires explain more clearly about what had happen about the historical buildings? Is it hard to say a concrete answer? It looks like there could've been, and still have, some lost and unknown information about the case said. There are a lot information that still needs to be gathered and analyzed. For what I know, Paris is a place with mysterious yet interesting history. So, now you tell me.. what do you think had happen about this vintage building?
