slow day...

it's been a slow day for me.
woke up...felt like sh*t.
and to cut the story short...i did sqwat and...had my shower at 5pm.
yups.

guilty.

must be due to the pounds i am piling.
feeling very depressed.
like something is not quite right.

anyway...i watched another 2 dvds. juno and 27 dresses.

Juno
this was a story about a quirky 16 year old girl, juno, who got impreganated by her best friend/boy friend (their status was vague upon intercourse). it was more about how she didn't really want the baby but didn't want to have an abortion either because her chinese/vietnamise/korean/oriental/asian schoolmate was picketing outside the abortion centre and told her, "they have fingernails, you know?".

which made her turn around and decide to instead find adopting parents.

voila. or should i say bingo. an ad in the newspaper. couple played by jennifer garner & jason bateman. and just to add the twist to the story. mommy wanted to be...well, the "mommy". but daddy was more interested in living (or re-starting) his rockstar dreams, while making moves on juno (read: paedophile).

now, in small parts...the best friend/boy friend played his role as a confused-geeky-but-jock-cause-he-runs-in-small-yellow-shorts. thought the "chemistry" between them was a bit...lacking. but i guess that was the whole "teenage love" (not that i ever remember mine to be that way).

all in all. it was an entertaining movie. sometimes trying a bit too hard to be quirky. but it pulled off. heck, it made me cry. it's gotto be good. the dad also gave a good line.

"stick with the one who will love you no matter if you are pretty or ugly, skinny or fat. this person will always think that the sun is shining out of your a**"

*sigh* how?

27 dresses
before i even start. huge disappointment. not sure if it was because of the mood (not good) i was in when i watched it...or was it due to the fact that even though i went back to the dvd store to change the copy (previous one didn't work), and had to skip the whole first chapter because it was...well, skipping.

so ya.

this was about a girl played by katherine heigl (one of my fave actresses), who does not know how to say "no". not only does she not know how to say "no", she has also been a bridesmaid 27 times (yes...hence 27 dresses).

so, she is in love with her boss (ed burns), who doesn't know it, but treats her like his servant (she is his PA). and she didn't mind doing all his s**t cause she loved him. right.

then comes along spoilt baby sister (who is conveniently a model), and somehow met this boss at a party and they fell in love. and badaboom badabing, they were getting married, which of course causes her to feel devastated. but because she is such a wall flower, she just grinned away like a maniac. and of course, she had to help prepare the wedding.

and throughout all this, james marsden comes in as a journalist who writes an article on her (behind her back), while getting into her pants (they were drunk). sadly, i ALSO don't see any "chemistry" between the two (from the beginning to the end).

what made me cry though (yes, i did), was the part where the sister took their late mother's wedding dress and cut it up to shreds and made a different dress for herself. and the heroin really wanted to wear that dress (in its original state) for HER wedding. and to top it off, the sister was also holding the wedding at the place their parents got married (which of course was where she wanted to hold HER wedding).

*sigh*

and guess wat. so, she got all angry. sabotaged the wedding (cause the sis lied to the boss about her good virtues...which in actual fact she had none)...and all. but come to the "confrontation" moment...she was all apologetic??? yikes. i would have slapped the sister silly.

so ya. these missing acting skills made me felt blah to the movie.

however, there was one thing i agreed. her favourite part of the wedding was when the bride makes her grand entrance, and everybody turns to look. but she will look at the groom, and see his sheer joy of seeing his bride.

i want that.

just like this quote i read in one of my bridal magazines...

"she was so beautiful as she walked down the stairs. i knew i was the luckiest man alive."

*sigh*
shoot me. i am a bloody hopeless romantic.
question is...can you see me?
