Movie Review - About Time

I went out with one of my girlfriends for dinner and a movie. We wanted to watch this movie but it turned out not to be what I expected and my friend summed it up perfectly - It's two love stories.

This movie is about a guy who can travel back in time in his own life due to some sort of magicness (I know that is not a real word) and he it really comes in handy for him because - simply put - he is a bit of a dork in that endearing way. However, if he didn't have the ability to go back in time he would not be able to make the right kind of first impression to meet the people that he does.

The movie is cute and sweet and like I said, the element of the second love story is the surprising and enjoyable.

Rachel McAdams is once again adorable in the role of leading lady in a RomCom.

I think the important things you can walk away from this movie with are these:

1. If someone does not love you, it doesn't matter what the situation is that you meet them or how you phrase your feelings - they will never love you the way you deserve.

 

2. If someone does love you, it doesn't matter how you meet them - if it is meant to be, it will be.

 

3. If you are lucky enough to have your family especially your parents around, you need to maximise your time with them because none of us are guaranteed any time.

While I don't agree with Nadine's view that it rivals The Notebook, it was unexpected in the best kind of way.

Have you watched it? If so, what's your favourite part of it? And if you could relive any one moment... what would it be?

3 Shows I'm currently loving

I haven't done a "3 things" post in a while so I thought with my love of tv, why not do one on the shows I am currently loving! 

1. Betrayal

I've only watched episode one of season one but it was so captivating that I know I am going to be addicted. Stuart Townsend also happens to be some really good eye candy.

Love this quote: "After the first betrayal there is no other"

 

 

2. Hostages

I am on episode two of season one but I am enjoying it. Toni Collette is a brilliant actress and although I have always thought she was slightly weird her acting ability is admirable.

One of my favourite quotes : " Sometimes you have to do a bad thing for a good reason."

 

3. Pretty Little Liars

Well this is by no means a new show I am still completely addicted to it. Even with "A" being unveiled I am still incredibly intrigued! I love the main four girls but my favourite is a toss up between Aria and Emily.

Do you agree? "Just because two things happen at the same time doesn't mean their connected."


What shows are you currently loving?? Do you like mine? While I didn't include Suits, you know I am loving it too!

 

3 Reasons to love Winter

You know, the blogs I follow are mostly from America and all of them are bragging about the arrival of Summer and what it means. So I thought about it.. and why shouldn't we, in the Southern Hemisphere, celebrate the arrival of Winter?

Here's my list of what we can enjoy in the winter months:

1. It is extremely unlikely you will have any run ins with Parktown Prawns (if you're not sure what these are click here .) or any other weird bugs which the rain and heat bring. And you get to save on doom.

2. Great fashion - I don't know about you but I love winter fashion. Boots and scarfs are my favourites. In fact,  I've just come back from shopping where I picked up some really cute grey ankle boots which you can see here. Also I love the idea of layering clothes. Mr Price has some really pretty scarfs.

3. Soups! My mom makes the most delicious beef and vegetable soup, I'll post the recipe soon enough. (It's actually my late grandfather's recipe) However, if you feeling lazy, you can always opt for Woolies soups, I'm a huge fan of the chicken, sweetcorn and noodle soup :) Do you have any favourites? I am searching for a good homemade chicken noodle soup, do you have a recipe to recommend?

I found this really nice picture, and I hope it's true.. I could always do with more wisdom

And for those of you who are not crazy about the frosty mornings, layers of clothes or lack of sandals here's a song which you can sing along too

3 Random Memories by the girl in the "white jumper"

I've had a rather strange day because as the day has gone on, I have had flashes of memories in the top I wore today so I thought if share them with you...

 

 

1. Memory One

The first time I met my baby, Uptothemoon, in the picture below, you can actually see how frightened I am of her. I thought she was big then but now I look at her and see how tiny she was here. I think it's sort of awesome how I actually have the moment I met her and she's my kindred animal spirit. I'll be sure to blog about her soon!

 

 

 

2. Memory Two

A day which brought me much joy.. This is the day that Alicia and I went to Malahide Castle , the Jameson Factory, dinner at O'Neills and then drinks at Citi-Bar (or "C-E bar")  This is possibly one of my favourite days of my entire life.

 

2. Memory Three
Is the first time I experienced snow, which was part of Memory Two but somehow in my mind I don't associate them together
 

Those are the random three things I remembered today.. Did you have any random memories today? Or do you have an item of clothing that brings back memories?

On a lighter note - 3 TV Quotes to make you smile

I must admit that even though I was aware that yesterday's post had a serious tone, I didn't realise until I actually received feedback (which I thank you for) how personal the post was.
Of course I knew when writing it that it was more personal than any of my other posts but I think it was also more relateable to all of you..

Either way, I think it's best to lighten the mood with more of my favourite FRIENDS tv quotes..
I promise the next time I do this I'll use quotes from other shows and not only FRIENDS
