A Year for Nicholas Sparks

29 Jan 2010 In: Entertainment & Books

Somehow, for Nicholas Sparks, this year is a great year for him as two of his bestsellers will be shown in the big screen and bring to life stories that teaches what true love really means, and about second chances. For the fans of his novels, these are what we are waiting for because, no doubt, Sparks’ novels are classics and teach us lessons about life and love. I don’t know with you, but every year, I’m always looking forward on knowing which novel of his will be brought to life in the big screen. And for the year 2010, I can’t wait for his two novels to be shown.

For the classics, “Dear John” will be shown on February (in time for Valentine’s Day) starring Channing Tatum (“Step Up”, “G.I. Joe”) and Amanda Seyfried (“Mamma Mia”). The story is about a young soldier who falls in love with a conservative college girl, and their love is tested as they face challenges and obstacles brought about by the 9/11 attacks. This is one of Sparks’ novels that brought me to tears while reading it, and so I thought, what more on the big screen? Now that is something to look forward to.

Then on April, one of Sparks’ latest novels, “The Last Song” will be shown starring Miley Cyrus, as a rebellious teenager who has to spend the summer with his estranged father. I have not read this yet, though I have no doubt that this will be a great movie based on the trailer, as well as a good read. Too bad they’re out of stock so far in our bookstore.

There are still a lot of Nicholas Sparks’ novels that I want to see on the big screen, and I’m sure “Dear John” and “The Last Song” will not be the last ones---whether movie or novel. Sparks has never failed his fans in his novels and his stories will always remain as lessons for us on how to live our life without any regrets.

You Complete Me

25 Jan 2010 In: Fashion & Jewelry

Travel back to the 90's. A lot of us were either in junior high or high school and there was one accessory that was all the rage; the broken heart pendant that you either shared with your best friend or lover. Well I'm not going to say they're back in style once again, but I am going to bring the half heart to you in a different way, Alexandr Schwarz's new half-hearted apparel.

Also similar to those "I'm with her" shirts your boyfriend used to wear that had the arrow distinctively pointing towards you. If you've fallen in love with this shirt and think it would be the perfect thing to wear on Valentine's Day then Google Alexandr Schwarz, click on his Design by Humans link, and if voted for enough this top will go into production hopefully in time for that romance filled day.

Floral Necklaces

22 Jan 2010 In: Fashion & Jewelry

If you’re in for the flowery jewelry that is starting to become a trend, then this necklaces are a must have. Due to Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland, the Disney Consumer Products created flower necklaces called the Alice in Wonderland Jewelry collection.

Everything about flower and Alice in Wonderland is on these necklaces---flower, heart, bunny, teapot, leaves---you name it, they have it. They will be coming out in spring in time, but just by looking at the picture, most likely those who like to wear floral jewelry cannot wait for these necklaces to come out. Maybe, when the movie comes out together with these necklaces, it will be both big hits. You just have to wait for few months, ladies. But I’m sure the wait will be worth it.
