Hungry for anything romantic

Hay... I'm so in the mood in watching all romantic movies right now, old or new. doesn't matter for as long as its one of the great movies of all time. Name it and I'll Watch it!!! *-*

To start it off I watched "The notebook" - oh yes! it's my first time watching that movie. But, in my defense I've already read the book which is written by nicholas sparks (as if you don't know).

Well, if I am to compare the book and the movie, I prefer watching the movie 'cause it captures every bit of emotions that are shown in the novel itself. And, you wouldn't have a hard time imagining the face of noah and allie, to tell you the truth, as I was reading the novel I was having a hard time picturing/imagining how pretty allie is to make noah fall inlove with her. and how pretty the house is. "that's one of the hardest thing if you are fond of reading you can't picture it enough although it's a good exercise for your brain and your sense of imagination", tsaka when I'm reading a book I prefer a place na super-quiet para ma-imagine ko ung self ko in the scenario itself, and at the same time I could feel every emotions the author is trying to show (hay... I miss reading) kaya naman I can only read books at night when everyone is asleep (poor me, labo na eyes). As I was saying, I enjoyed the film version of the notebook. (or maybe I need to read the book again). In the movie, you'll see how much effort noah exert to built the house that they both dreamed of (the history of the house makes that house priceless). I love how the story begins and how it ends.

If I were in allie's place and I have alzheimers disease I would want to wear a bracelet with my complete name on it (cause its a worst feeling having to wake up one morning not knowing your OWN name! db?). atleast with my bracelet on I wouldn't have to ask anyone around me who I am...

Second, to satisfy my cravings for a good old romantic movies I watched message in a bottle - same with the notebook I read it first before I watched the movie. But, message in a bottle's case I LOVED the novel more than the movie! theres more in the book that the movie wasn't able to show. A one-and-a half story of message in the bottle is not enough (more like bitin). kasi sa book it shows so many scenes where both garett and theresa have shown their love for each other, the awayan, the flirting and all that kaya naman for me I prefer the novel more than the film. and having to imagine yourself wearing the shoes of THERESA... is one of the things you'll surely love and hate too.

In the book, every little detail is told, every bit of emotions are express, every word used are so heartfelt... even the prologue! in the movie kasi hindi nasabi ung story behind why Garett always drop the bottle in the sea. and the reason behind it is so SWEET!

Here's one of my favorite paragraph that Nicholas Sparks wrote:

The bottle was dropped overboard on a warm summer
evening, a few hours before the rain began to fall. Like all bottles, it was
fragile and would break if dropped a few feet on the ground. But when sealed
properly and sent to sea, as this one was, it became one of the most seaworthy
objects known to man. It could float safely through hurricanes or tropical
storms, it could bob atop the most dangerous of riptides. It was, in a way, the
ideal home for the message it carried inside, a message that had been sent to
fulfill a promise.

There's something about the way he had said it that makes me wanna read it over and over again. Full of hope, full of love and mystery... there's somthing about it that trigger your curiosity within you to make you want to know what it is... every chapter is so interesting that makes you want to turn the page and read every chapter of it. PLUS, having to read the novel makes you see yourself in theresa's shoes. and feel garetts pain!

Nicholas Sparks is one great writer of a novels like this one. Sobrang bow ako sa kanya and two thumbs-up for every great novels she had written. I wonder how a man like him could wirte something like that... ala lng! Just like the same feeling on how creative and imaginative J.k. Rowling is, having to writhe those hit harry potter making her a billionaire big WOW!

Then I've watched autumn in New York, Sleepless in Seattle, Castaway, breakfast at tiffany's hay... What more can I watch?? hmmmm
