Twilight Movie Review

by User ImageLorelei on Nov.27, 2008, under Fun and Entertainment, blogging

It was a great day yesterday. “Finally”, as I said to myself. “It’s already Nov. 26 and I would be able to watch the most awaiting Twilight ever.” At least for me and my two other friends.

So after spending only half of the day at the office, picking up and sending Enzo in Cainta, hubby and I went to Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall, to watch the Twilight the movie. It was only 3:30PM when we got there. Didn’t want to watch it during the night time because I was afraid there will be a lot of people watching it after office hours. We got the 4PM schedule instead.

I know that there are a lot of negative reviews already about the movie, since it’s been in theater’s since Nov.21 in USA, but still I wanted to watch it myself because I really love the book. I also know that books are always better than movies because you’re basically not limited to 1-2hours. You get to know the feeling of the characters, their thoughts, etc, etc..

Anyway, I’m not gonna give a lot of details about the movie itself. but I will share what i have in thought about it..

5 Anti-Shine Habits You Need to Break

by User ImageLorelei on Nov.23, 2008, under Health and Personal Care, blogging

Last week, I’ve shared some secrets to a shiny hair, and to make your hair look really beautiful there are some anti-shine habits you must break.

Here’s some:

1. Harsh towel drying tends to “rough up” hair cuticles which cuts light reflection. You can still do it - just be gentle, as if handling a precious fiber. Do not over do it!

2. Brushing wet strands to detangle. Instead, stick with a wide-toothed comb to prevent breakage. If you still have time before you’re really have to go out, try to buy some time before brushing your hair. It helps if it’s a bit dry.

Laptop Bag Hunting

by User ImageLorelei on Nov.22, 2008, under Gadgets, Personal, blogging

I’ve been looking for the right laptop bag for a week now. I admit that it’s not just a bag that I’m looking for. Due to my limited budget, I am checking out a “cheap” laptop backpack. Ugh..

Well, I found some interesting bags over the internet. Some actually caught my attention even the sling bags.. They’re so cool & stylish!

I like these bags from Etsy. So girly! Hahaha!

These cute bags has clean lines, and the best part is you get to choose your own fabric and the bags are very reasonably priced. It allows you to carry your laptop/notebook computer safely and with style! No need for a second bag. Stiffer and more structured than our sleeves, this bag offers full protection and also a generous ZIPPER COMPARTMENT to hold computer accessories like AC adaptor, power cords, mouse and mouse pad.

Taking Care of Little Ones

by User ImageLorelei on Nov.15, 2008, under !Enzo, Personal, blogging

As I was reading an article of I am That Mom!. I begin to wonder what kind of mom I am.

I have been only a mom for 2 years and honestly, I am a bit panicky when it comes to Enzo. For me, he’s so fragile even if he thinks he’s old enough to play around the house all by himself. I don’t want him to be alone because something might happen to him–he might fall down or cut himself while playing.. I don’t know..

There’s this one time when hubby told me about Enzo holding our kitchen knife.. goodness! How did he get that knife!? It’s like I’m gonna explode or something. It’s like killing me inside learning that Enzo were able to get that knife on top of the kitchen sink. I freaked out even if I didn’t see the whole thing happened.. (continue reading…)

Twilight

by User ImageLorelei on Nov.14, 2008, under Fun and Entertainment, blogging

The other day, two of my friends from work has been relentlessly talking about the New York Best Selling Novel ‘Twilight’.

Twilight is a series of romance/vampire-based fantasy novels written by Stephanie Meyer. It is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance that is both compassionate and fascinating. Their love is wistful, yet at the same time, they’re both unwilling to give up hope. The story is told in the perspective of Bella, and that simply made it more exciting and mysterious.

Twilight simply yet perfectly written to satisfy both teenagers and adults alike. Twilight is so unique that you can almost feel what you’re reading.

Also, watch out for the upcoming movie adaptation of the first book, Twilight. Starring Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
