Book/Movie review: The Hunger Games Trilogy

This is a late review of a recent movie I've watched, like about a month ago "The Hunger Games" and the succeeding books of the trilogy.

I love the story and the twists and turns of the plot. I like how they had Jennifer Lawrence took the role as Katniss Everdeen (the lead role in the story). I think she did well in portraying the character. What I didn't liked about the casting was Josh Hutcherson, the fact that he played as Peeta Mellark, I had a different impression between the Peeta in the book and the Peeta in the movie. In the book, I love how Katniss describes Peeta. I don't remember if it was stated that Peeta wasn't as good looking as Gale was but I understood that Gale was handsome but in the book Peeta was very good in speaking and convincing his listeners to sympathize him in many ways. But in the movie, the final interview portion, his lines were not as much convincing than they were in the book. Everything was great aside from that. Liam Hemsworth is a really good-looking guy (smiles =D) and I'm looking forward for more exposure in the next book

"Catching Fire". The second book is also action packed, very unpredictable and I got myself more engaged the story than the previous one. I've read it for like 4-5 days, I don't want to read it all in one day because I love the thrill the story gives and personally I want to look forward to another great twist day by day. Catching fire's got me hooked, specially the end part where I was left really hanging about the story, of how District 13 was still there all the time they thought it was a ghost town. Then, I cant wait to read the last book

"Mockingjay". I'm not going to spoil the story behind Mockingjay, all I can say is it is a MUST-READ! XD

Dear John

Something came to me this evening that I went on watching the movie "Dear John" again. I used to read that book over and over again until such time that it came out in film sometime in 2010. I was in Manila during that time it was showed in movie houses. I could relate, a little, because I was away from my long time boyfriend. We were about 3 years already, and during that time I was away because I choose to work in another city, though it's just a 1 hr and 20 min. ride in an airplane, we're still far from each other. In the movie, I felt how it was away from someone you love so much and someone you use to always be with in any time of the day. Though we were apart, communication was always present. I worked as a call center agent, so basically, I'm alive in the evening and stay dead asleep during daytime. I was not on the other side of the world but it felt like it. Familiar of the song "JET LAG" by Simple Plan and Natasha Bedingfield? It was exactly l...

Nothing much special. I had to do a lot of things for today but we still managed to hang out at the end of the day. We don't have much time with me each other lately, we just see each other after work and drop me home. I really appreciate it when spends time with me even for just a while. That way I can see that he really wants to be around with me. Iced coffee and fries...I dunno what got into his mind. Not my idea of a combination.

Chillin @ Starbucks Love isn't always the best thing for me before him. I always wanted someone to love me eversince but I never thought I'd find it in him. I don't know but I feel so secure with him. Last year, we weren't really together like we used to. I worked outside the city by then, in 9 months we only seen each other twice. And I find it so hard not to be with him I feel so empty. This was taken a year ago Now that we're already together for more than 4 years, I wish this is it. I wish that tis will be forever. xoxo -Angelie-
