Happy Birthday to myself!

Hi there!
Last Saturday I was back from school!!!!!!!!!
Okay, okay this is not funny. Not funny at all to pretend I was studying! But yes I was there for some other reasons...The school' Staff made some reception you know for giving gifts to good students, there were soda and cookies and stuff...
It was nice to see again my classmates even though they weren't all there.
So obviously I was pretty excited to receive my price...But you know what it was? a huge, heavy, ugly, dictionary!!!!!! oh my goodness!!! why? so I have good marks at school just to get some book to study even more on it!?
School in Algeria is really pitiful.


Anyway, there's the good news like you know, Spain is world champion!!!! I was so happy because when Algeria has been kicked out, I was rooting for Spain and obviously I was so happy when they won! Rafa Nadal was there in Johannesburg to support his compatriots, I've seen pics and he was crying!!!

What else? oh yeah!! that is the best part of what I have to say: We're July 13th and It's my Birthday!!!! Well, I highly doubt that my father even remembered it, but my mom did so I think I'll get great gifts! pray for me guys to get a new cell-phone!!!! or a Prince tennis' racquet! I want new ones.

So see you soon...

Dear Diary; I'm in love with Dear John movie!


I just got done watching Dear John for the third time, and I just can't take my eyes off of Channing Tatum, he's awesome in his Soldier outfit, and frankly I thik he's the most gorgeous soldier (even if it's fake) in the world.

The movie really looks like The Notebook -which is my favorite movie ever btw- and it is also an adaptation from bestseller written by ...Nicholas Sparks! so basically the story is already awesome and the actors are gorgeous, so much good at acting and I love Amanda Seyfried...

The only screwed part of the movie was the end; and that is too bad cause the end is generally the most important scene of the movie, so like I said it was bullshit cause they just hug! like now we have to figure out by ourselves what they're going to do, so does the hug means they're back together? or just that they are friends now?

Trying to seem serious!


Well... I was hanging out last Tuesday and on the way back, there was a huge Techno shop and the colors were really attracting me (I know it sounds childish!) so I came on and while I was walking between the shelves I noticed a book: "how to learn Russian for beginner"

When I saw it I was like: this book has been putted right here just become of me or something?!

I took it and now I cannot put it down. To be honest I'm pissing off everyone who's asking about that book on my hands, I'm like: oh it's a marvelous book, you wanna know how to say that and that and that?... and yeah it's a bit annoying so I'll try to calm down!

By the way, I told you in a previous post that I was looking for the vampire diaries books, well I found it, I've read the first one, and I'm right now almost done with the second to start the third. Honestly, it's the first time that I feel like an adaptation is better than the original novel. The books are great it just that the story is way more rich and interesting on the show, there's so many things that make the difference. I think everyone who read the books would say the same thing.

But on the other hand, I kind of regret the real ELENA GILBERT, on the book she's supposed to be the high school queen, blonde with strange blue eyes. She's confident and loves to take risks. ELENA on the show, well at first; she's not blonde and she got brown eyes (not that she's not pretty, it's just that I would have liked to guess Elena when I was reading the books, like I saw her on TV) but the difference between the 2 is too big. Then, Elena on the Show is some kind of weak... I don't know how to say it, but I definitely don't feel that energy from her like I do it on the book if you know what I'm saying.

Finally, I'm crazy about Damon! he rocks, he's good looking, sexy, funny, cute, adorable, demonic (and I think there's definitely an appeal on it) and he's a vampire!

Comeback!


Long time no see! you'd tell me...
but no damn excuse this time, it would be easy to say: "I was kinda busy" which is true actually...Whatever I'm so happy to be able to write again, to touch my PC once again...crazy girl! you'd describe me, which I am!!

this last weeks I've been watching TV a little bit more than usual, and I've got the opportunity to find out so many wonderful movies like: Crazy in love, She's the man (love this one, my friends were telling me about it but I've not seen it till now) what else? Supercross (about bikes and all that kinda stuff, from 2004, classical story but well done) there's of course Avatar which I pretty liked; it is for me the best movie done on 3D, but this doesn't mean that it's the best movie ever. it's just one of the good ones, do you agree?

I've also been trying to follow some good TV-shows, and I stock up to "The Vampire Diaries" really guys, I think I'm becoming a Vamps' drugy now...I was first a "Buffy against Vampires" lover, then there were the Twilight Saga (the books though), Underworld 1, 2, 3 and right now it is that story about Stefan and Damon Salvatore, the vampire brothers. but let's be honest it is so good, I'm like just at the 10th episode that I already adore it. and guess what, it is an adaptation from a best-seller Novel!!!!
some weeks from now you'll certainly find a post where I'll trot out the whole book after having read it! like I said, crazy girl...

that's all what I've got, but keep visiting my blog for more updates
see ya soon

New Moon


I'm kind of excited about the NEW MOON coming out, I'm like jumpping around and just can't think of something else!! but the real reason is that I want say to everybody who is excited for the good reasons: "I told you!!!!"
I'm definitely not a super fan of the TWILIGHT movies, I think that people who went to theater to watch, wasted their money and their time. It was really bad done, bad actors (if you remember well, I said in my previous articles that Kristen was good to embody normalcy. Well actually she's not. She's just doing the same thing all over again, When I saw some of her old movies I was like disgusted. This girl is a freak!!! she got that same face in every scene, every movie, that's freaking out!)
But here again, I really wanna see the second one, cause I'm a huge fan of Stephanie Meyer's novels, that's all.

I really enjoyed reading the TWILIGHT books, and it's a shame to say "the movie is better" but I still curious about watching New Moon and see if is really better than the book! (which I highly doubt).

Well with all the trailers that Summit reveals we've almost saw the whole movie! but I still curious and excited about the coming out...(again for really bad reasons).
Here is the trailer that I most like, presented by Jacob "Taylor Lautner" with his lovely smile, and perfect body!!! enjoy

PS: Taylor is probably the only good actor out there, they should fire Kristen and give extra lessons to Rob so he can really be Edward Cullen, cause right now...well it's not really the case!!

"how bitchy this girl can be!!!!" I'm sure that's what you're thinking of me after reading this message!!! but you know what, I completely don't care!

Twilight



Hello, Hello


As I promised to talk again about Twilight, I'll talk about (not the other books, but about the movie) wait a minute, did I say that the first book has been adapted into film??

Sorry, my mistake! but you probably already know it so...
anyway, the movie is great, with great actors and great scenes.
by "great actors" I mean: an actress who is not really good-looking cause Bella is supposed to be, physically, an ordinary girl.
So Kristen Stewart was perfect for that caracter. Not that she is not beautiful in real life, but that she's perfect to embody normalcy and this is a great quality for such a young hollywood actress .
About Edward, uhm... I don't know, Robert Pattinson seems "on some pictures" really gorgeous, but in some others, a catastrophy!!! while Edward is supposed to be the little brother of Dzus!

but yeah, Rob has in common with Edward his hair; this strange reddish brown color, which is really beautiful actually, really...
But THE man of the movie was Emmett, (the older brother of Edward, exemplified by Kellan Lutz, look at him, isn't he handsome??!!




DOODLE: Some respite before the beginning of commencement


Uhm, what can I say about today?!...A pretty calm day actually, in fact I’m just writing to write, cause it’s a bit boring today so I try to spend time doing some meaningful things.
I slept until 12 a.m. During the holidays I like to stagger my sleep time of several hours, just to plenty enjoy the night world! Then I just tried to find something fun to do to pass the time, so I took the Twilight book and started reading. Although I already read it many times yet, I just couldn’t put it down.
Twilight ("Fascination" in French) is like a drug, a really powerful drug; I kinda spend my whole summer with the books of this saga cause yes, Twilight is a saga (also called "the forbidden desire" of 4 books which each book is better than the other. The first “Twilight” (the one I read today) is all about Isabella (Bella) Swan who fell in love with a gorgeous vampire (Edward Cullen). The story is just awesome, and the fact is that every girl can be Bella, we can easily identify to her (not only because there's simply the perfect guy who is crazy in love with her) so we (girls) all want to be Bella. I think this story is really interesting to read even it’s unreal, because we all need a touch of fantasy in this monotonous life. Movies and books are made for that precisely.
I'll talk latter about the 3 other books, it's a promise!
