Remember Me

I just saw one of the most shocking endings ever!!! But I'm not going to tell you about it, I'm not a movie-spoiler after all... haha But I'm just going to tell you that it was amazing and that it left me crying, which I almost never do and because of that some people think that I'm cold (I'm definitely NOT!) I just cry for good reasons.

 And it's so good that it even makes me like Robert Pattinson's acting and I soo like his clothes in this film! He's so much better when he doesn't look unnaturally pale!

Right now I'm listening to this song named Ghost of Stephen Foster by Squirrel Nut Zippers. It's amazing.. haha

Someone like you


Someone Like YouSomeone Like You by Sarah Dessen




I think this book is really different to the rest of her books and I was surprised in a good way. I started reading it on a whim and didn´t stop after some hours when I finished it. I kind of expected her usual developmentes that seem to trap you in, but instead I got very real situations (like always...) like someone getting pregnant, problems with parents, sexual relationships with your boyfriend and that sometimes there are different endings. I just love how her characters learn to see life in a different way and how they learn to overcome problems. She's certainly my favorite YA author.



View all my reviews
I just reviewed this book in goodreads after finishing reading it. I'm also listening to this awesome song... Loca people

Mansfield Park

I just finished reading Mansfield Park from Jane Austen and I better write what I think about it now before I forget what I intended to say about it. haha... First of all this book is very different to her earlier novels like Pride and Prejudice. First of all Fanny Price (the main character) doesn't have a strong character unlike previous characters from other novels and she is used by everyone for their own convenience. It mainly shows the difference in economical status and how certain nasty attitudes were overlooked if you had enough money. But even if it starts like this, eventually her uncle and his family that used to think lowly of her learn that certain things that they did to her were wrong. Her only ally, her cousin Edmund, is the only one that defends her but it's eventually blinded by Miss Crawford and her brother that arrive to make their lives difficult.

There are a lot of nasty characters that you just can't stand and make you want to close the book, and the beginning of the book sometimes gets to test your patience with its boredoom and the annoying ways they treat Fanny. But as the book goes on, the family finally learn to appreciate her for all that she has went through. Nasty characters are put in their place and everything has a happy ending. And it's also the first of her books that leaves you with very important moral wisdoms.

Indie Albums & Small Earthquake

Today there were a lot of small earthquakes here and the stronger was of 6.1. So yeah... scary. So I've been hearing indie music while I read Mansfiel Park from Jane Austen and this are some cool covers from the albums.
ok.... that's enough... haha or I'll fill the entire page with album covers. I especially like the last one from Beirut.

Modest Mouse and 3MSC

This are some snapshots from the movie I saw tonight. It's a spanish movie called "3 Metros Sobre el Cielo" or if I traduced it would be Three meters above heaven. And the most funny thing it's that I only decided to see it because my friends had been talking to me about this movie forever and they really wanted me to see it because they thought it was amazing. At first, I didn't like the guy at all with his arrogant attitude but at the end he won me over to say the least. You really have to see it!!!!



This is one of my favourite parts of the movie, it's in spanish though, but I think that just the way they act tells everything and the song is amazing! haha...

I have actually spent all my day reading books, manga, this movie, but more importantly I stopped everything I was doing to watch how the elections in my country were going. Because even if I can't still vote, I'm really interested in everything that is happening and I still have hope in the democratic process in a third world country like this. After all, anything could happen today, any minute I could hear that something violent is happening due to the elections and my family is out there. So while I wait doing a lot of stuff my soundtrack is by Modest Mouse. ^^
I'm hearing the album: Good News for People Who Love Bad News
And We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

Sophie's World

I'm very tired to say the least, I've been reading Sophie's World. It has more than five hundred pages but it's filled with philosophical stuff so it's kinda hard to understand all at one so I just take my time to think it through....
Have a nice day! I'll go to sleep now...
