A Girl’s Notebook :)

As part of our bonding session, Daisy, Ime and I decided to watch New Moon. Oh how I love to see the movie. I have the 4 books already but I can’t help watching New Moon on big screen. I found Robert Pattinson who played Edward, very good looking! I like the chemistry between him and Kristen Stewart who played Bella.

We arrived at SM South Mall 20 minutes before the next viewing schedule. After buying our tickets, we went ahead and bought popcorn from Chef Tony’s. Then we headed our way to cinema 3. Daisy and I bought sodas while Ime settled for mineral water. We’re just in time to get into the cinema. After settling on our chosen seat, we prepared ourselves in watching New Moon.

As what promised, the Twilight Saga’s New Moon movie has been loyal to the book. Oh how loved the way they showed how Jacob and the rest of the Quilette’s boys shifted into a huge wolves. I loved the Italy scene where Bella is about to save Edward from making a scene. Oh, I am pretty sure you know what I am talking about! I can’t wait ‘til June, 2010 when Eclipse will be shown.

After the movie, I asked if Daisy enjoyed watching it. She said that if we didn’t tell her the story of Twilight, she would not be able to appreciate New Moon. But since we’re able to do some story telling before watching the movie, she was able to enjoy watching New Moon.

OME! Very gorgeous!

We had some pictures taken before Edward, Jacob and Bella’s posters! We also stroll around the mall for a while. We also passed by a sports house and found a Kettlebell very useful for workout.

I really enjoyed the time spent with my friends. Oh how I miss them so much. Our other friend Pinky said to schedule another get together before Christmas. We asked Ime to file another vacation leave, because the 3 of us have common rest days, Saturday and Sunday.

Ciao!

The past weeks has been so stressful for me. I had been on out of town trips but not to have some good vacations. How I wish ney would send me some holiday invitations so I can really relax and enjoy. Maybe in a place where we can play like detectives! How about that!?!

Well, I have always been a Hardy Boys fan. I started reading their books when I was in grade school. There was one point in my life that I have wanted to be a detective :). The first book which I have read about Hardy Boys is one of  The (original) Hardy Boys Mystery Stories which was published between 1927–1979, of course written by the great author Franklin Dixon. It was my uncle’s book and I fell inlove right away with. It was number 11 of the said mystery stories, While the Clock Ticked.

Since then, I started buying Hardy Boys mystery books. I saved some from daily allowance in school. During Christmas, when my god parents gave me money as Christmas presents, I used the money to buy some books, too.

Since I wasn’t born in a well-to-do family, the money I earned from my allowance has to be spent on more important things. Though I was a scholar since grade school to college, my collection has been put on hold.

When I finished college in 2003 and landed with a good job, I started looking around for some Hardy Boys series. There were paperbacks of the recently written stories but not the one I am looking for. Then one day, while I am one of my favorite bookstores, Fullybooked, I stumbled on a shelf for teenage readers. There I found the books I am looking for all those years! I bought right away book 1 to 5 of the Hardy Boys Mystery Series! These stories are:

1. The Tower Treasure
2. The House on the Cliff
3. The Secret of the Old Mill
4. The Missing Chums
5. Hunting for Hidden Gold

Though, it cost me much but having those books are priceless!

I have yet to start reading my new books sooner or later!

Ciao!
