| Diary of a Wimpy Kid.... |
As a wimpy kid myself, I was pretty lured to read this book just reading the title. Actually, my friend Rita introduced me to this easy read - fun book a while ago and she lent her first copy of the book for me. I was pretty keen on finishing it since i found it hilarious and hard to put down! This book is a very truthful straight-to-the-bone honest daily things that could happen to a middle schooler anywhere. Kudos to Jeff Kinney, he wrote it in a way it sounds funny yet leading the readers to come up with their own sense of 'doing what's right'. I can so relate to the book since the kid in me was yelling, "deja vu!" while reading some of the stories...hehehhe. Jeff Kinney also added some of his cool cartoons as the illustrations, which jazz the book up some more. I'm liking his style!
I think this book would make a great gift for your late elementary to middle school boys... a good read indeed.
Jeff Kinney also have the online version of the book in his website, so give it a go, maybe you'll smile and think...i've been in that kinda situation when i was a kid :)

| Kurosagi! |
Hahahaha...might as well tell you, the secret of my understanding a little Japanese was my interest in watching the Japanese doramas or TV dramas. So glad i am living in Jakarta where i can easily get a hold on those dvd doramas...i knoooow i knowww that is such a bad act of piracy supporting, but what can i say, they are pretty luring! Gomen ne... :(
After a while of waiting, I got my hands on this particular doramas called Kurosagi which tells us about a guy, whose family were messed up real good by a swindler (con artist) and then he sworn to avenge his family by getting back to those swindlers around. Pretty interesting. Especially when I knew it was played by Yamashita Tomohisa or known as YamaPi by his adoring fans (that includes me, i guess. hehehe) I kept on marathon watching it and loving every minute of it! Sugoi!
So if you are a doramalover and a YamaPi fan this one series is a must see and scores big time according to me. Yaaaaaay....YamaPi rules! Motto motto kakkoii desu!
see what i mean? hehehhe...jaa ne!Labels: boys, doramas, entertainment, movies |

| Entertainment catching up this week! -Twilight- |
My my my...just realized that I have been missing out on some of the goodies lately when it comes to common entertainments due to my extra crammed-up workloads...luckily now i have the privilege and the time to do some catch up on that department! Starting with movies...
Recently everywhere I go I keep on hearing raves and comments about Twilight the movie. Well, actually I have heard about this best selling novel by Stephenie Meyer turned big hit movie from quite a while ago from the Middle School-High School Library. I have always wondered what's all the big fuss about, but the books were sooo hot and wanted i was never getting any chance to lay my hands on one, until the friggin movie was released!
The "girls" (by that i meant my elementary students) were always asking me if I'm gonna go watch the movie soon. Some moms even told me that it's a must see and some of them even went to see the movie like 4 times! That sure gave me a big push. I got to see this! :) And finally one 'easy' night, I succeeded in dragging Iman mijn liebchen to watch it in EX after work. We got one of the front seaters...(sucks!)but luckily the seat was quite comfy I didn't mind it that much.
To cut to the chase here's what the main idea's about: Twilight tells a story about Bella a girl recently moved in to live with her father in a small town Forks, DC. There she met an interesting guy, Edward Cullen who never failed to surprise her with his extraordinary charms...until Bella found out that he's actually a "vegetarian" vampire. And the story rolls from there. Over all I thought that was a good teen romance. Entertaining with easy on the eyes casts. pretty cool effects, and it lead me to finally gave up, and just buy the damn books. Hehehhe.... Iman as I had predicted thought it was pretty girlie and plain. Aww well, I couldn't really sell the 'Edward Cullen' cuteness charms point on him, I suppose! ehhh, nevermind..
So, yeah...I'm on the first book now out of the 3 that have been released, so far the book offered more detailed graphic in my head...with that cute Edward Cullen from the movie, though...played by Robert Pattinson.
