Now and Then

 

Words cannot even describe how much I love this movie. It was one of my favourites after I grew "too cool" for Disney.
This movie is great for a number of reasons...
1. Truly great story about friendship
2. great music
3. how kids/adolescents had fun without technology
4. how to hang out with people: be sociable!
5. how to treasure great friendships


It sends a great message; especially to young, impressionable girls who are going through puberty and might feel alone and vulnerable, how it is SO important to have friends to rely and trust your secrets too!


Story line:
After years and years 4 professional women who have moved on in their lives have finally had the opportunity to get together for a reunion and help with one of their own about to have a baby...
Then they go down memory lane...
A small group of 4 girls going through life in US suburbia in the hot summer time!
These girls go from "boys have coodies" to...

"young love" <3
I love these two together as a On-Set couple! first saw them in Casper and then Now and Then - it is Christina Ricci and Devon Sawa.
Christina was the tom-boy who was obsessed with death since her mother died in a car accident, never noticed boys until Devon stopped being the annoying boy who tortured and teased her and her friends and started being the boy she liked to kiss and flirt. Sigh. Again, young love<3

These are the women in the movie who portray their older selves when they go down Memory Lane.
Demi Moore and Rosie O'Donnell are outstanding in this movie! Looved them!

I will ALWAYS watch this movie and always recommend it to anyone!

Snowing in October...

Its been snowing outside the past few days...
real legit snow.
Snow = no more sandals :( [FML]
I am not a winter fan (clearly) but more important than that, IT IS OCTOBER!!
Snow doesn't usually come until end of November, sometimes even mid-December.
I think last year we didn't get snow until a week before Christmas. It was UH-MAZING!!
Is it too much to ask for the same luck? Probably.

Strength; or lack there of...

Fringe: Season 1

A friend loaned the first season of Fringe.

I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised!

I absolutely loved the quirky dynamic dialogue between Joshua Jackson and his on-set father, John Noble.

One of my main reasons for watching it... guilty: Joshua Jackson.

I have had a school girl crush on that actor since his Mighty Duck days and I have missed him since his Dawson Creek days! 

Talented and Charming and he is very smooth in this character! It's hard to resist him.

All the actors on the show have a great chemistry together and it really shows on TV.

Very impressive and the whole concept of the show is very different! it's using science with a mix of supernatural gone wrong.

I highly recommend to watch it, but to also keep an open mind throughout the show!

I hope it continues to do well!

Rating: A+++ with a dazzle of Supernatural!

My Favourite Cookie Recipe: Wild Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

My favourite cookies!

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I absolutely LOVE making these cookies! I usually get a great response making them and they are OH-SO-YUMMY!!

Inception.

I recently saw this movie and it is AMAZING.

Not scary, Not Gross of blood and guts, not horror!

Tons of suspense!

Definitely a lot of "omg what is going on" type of questions!

Leonardo DiCaprio does a fantastic job!

I think he is a awesome actor who definitely does NOT get the credit he deserves!!

Ellen Page is also fantastic in the movie as well!

I highly recommend this to EVERYONE!!

A must see!!

Romeo + Juliet. A modern day perspective.

So, back in grade 6... I looved this movie.

Well I was more in total little girl crush with Leonardo DiCaprio (like every other girl in the world) but this movie was so intense and I just love love loved it!

This version of Romeo+Juliet has modern day aspects yet what I absolutely loved about it, they kept the feel of Shakespeare in this movie by using the same written language as in the play and kept the names of the cities and the names of the characters the same. This time with modern music, modern day illegal things (guns and drugs... what could go wrong) and of course Leo.

Adorable.

Gosh, he looks young here. Crazy to think that he was 22 in the movie (1996)

even more mind boggling, he will be 40 in a few years!

He is so pretty.

I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Claire Danes, but she was a cutie in this movie. 

but he is just so pretty ;)

Love this movie.

Rated 10 +++++

D.Bag.

Hello Mr. Douche Bag.

All I have to say is...

Seriously, Jesse James? Seriously?

Ugh. You even look like a total douche bag.

Ha ha if you google "adultery" guess who comes up ;)

I mean, I'm sure not everything was roses and sunshine in their personal life, but no one deserves such blatant disrespect.

Especially since the rumour was it was during Sandra's "The Blind Side" movie. 

That movie is about the power of family and second chances, and doing right by the people you care about... and then this happens to a very sweet and caring woman.

(I don't actually know her personally, but she seems so darn nice!!)

Not cool, Jesse James! Not cool!!!

Mmm Mojitos.

i love mojitos.

I recently discovered them a few months ago and I physically cannot get enough of them.

They are cool, refreshing and just so yummy.

I have tried a few different ways to make them, and there are a few different ways.

Here is the best way I have found...

Ingredients needed:

2-3 oz of light rum

1 oz of lime juice

2 tsp. of sugar

2-4 mint sprigs

soda water

1 lime

Instructions:

To make a fancy finishing touch:

1. Before putting wet ingredients in highball glass, take the lime and cut it in 4 quartres, use a knife and make a small slice in the middle of the lime. put the lime on the rim of the glass and slide it around the entire rim of the glass.

2. with a small bowl of sugar handy, dip the rim of the glass in the sugar so it has the frosted look.

3. Lightly muddle the mint and sugar with a splash of soda water in a mixing glass until the sugar dissolves and you smell the mint.

4.Squeeze the lime juice into the glass, add rum and shake with ice.

5. In the highball glass garnished with sugar rim, put ice and remaining slices of lime - strain over cracked ice.

6. Top with soda water and garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

Mmmm Mojitos!

Camera Fetish.

I have a slight addiction to taking pictures.
My mom was always the one out of all of her sisters and brothers to have a camera during the family functions, special events for our family, etc.
I have always loved taking pictures, capturing rare fun moments and having them frozen in time where I can go back and relive the moment in time where the picture was taken place.
It started out with a simple disposable camera, the pre-digital era ;) I guess that's almost as old as the dinosaurs now... ha ha!

After the disposable camera, I had a polaroid camera. Where you take a picture and the picture is developed instantly.

It's a shame they stopped mass-producing the paper for the pictures to be developed on. I guess those who have them now, should be cautious when they want to develop pictures.

Then the digital world took off :)

For my high school graduation present, my parents bought me a very good quality Canon camera. It was my first digital and I took it absolutely everywhere. It went to school with me, to restaurants, to the movies, to my job to the carribean, everywhere!!

I literally wore it out.

After that camera died, I actually went about 6 months with no camera, and for someone like me, that is HUGE. I priced around for a while. I had a big trip coming up and I wanted a good camera.

Finally I heard about the Canon Powershot and looked into the camera features and discovered I really enjoyed what I was reading and decided to buy myself one :)

... and I was not at all disappointed. Not in the slightest. I loved everything about this camera :)

It was sturdy, reliable and it held its ground. Especially after accidentally dropping it, throwing it into my bag or purse, lots of drunken nights that I cannot remember and don't want to remember what I might have put this poor camera through.

and surprisingly, it is still in decent shape, I will definitely keep using it until it is no longer usable.

My newest addition to my camera fetish is the new SLR cameras that have been the latest hype, and let me tell you... I have never taken such a clear and perfect picture in my life...

Isn't she a beauty?

I got her for an excellent deal on boxing day sale!

It took a little getting used to since the zoom in manual now and the focus is manual now, but its the best present I have ever bought for myself.

The pictures I have been able to take, are just unbelievable.

I leave for a Mediterranean cruise in a little over 1 month, wait until you see the pictures I will post.

Excited :)

My next camera I would like to look into...

Don't they just look utterly fantastic?
I would absolutely love to purchase one of these babies and then possibly look into finding a way to make it into a camera that after I take the pictures, I use a port and download them onto the computer, so sorta like a digital camera, yet not quite ;)
Either way, I will have one!
