LG Xenon


What about this product that caught my attention: The color/ design on the back & the slide out qwerty keyboard.
Why I actually like this product: Fast and easy texting.
Other: It's a bit annoying when it freezes... it happened to me twice since I got this phone back in May.
My rating out of 10: 7.5
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
Talking on the phone, the quality is alright, the speaker phone is okay quality as well. It is more of a messaging phone. There are 3 colors you can choose (black, blue or red). The music player is pretty good. I really don't like the volume of the ringtone, in my opinion it's a bit too quite. Sometimes I miss calls because my phone isn't close to me. The con about my phone is that sometimes it just freezes and you have to remove the battery and put it back together to get it to work again "/ I guess I really can't complain much about this phone, I mean I was the one who asked for a touch screen phone in the first place...

2.BW/U

What about this brand that caught my attention: The jean fabric is so soft!

Other: n/a
My rating out of 10: 9
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
Right now I currently own 3 pairs of these jeans. They are so soft and comfortable you would have to wear them for yourselves to get what I'm talking about. I bought mines at Ross for $12.99 a pair. It's worth it :D

Why I actually finished reading this novel: It's so funny and I wanted to see if my hunches were right >.^
My favorite coupling: I can't really say. I love Izzy with all the guys she's been with! xP
Other: David Spellman is amazing. He's "tall, dark and handsome" what more can you want? Plus pg 327 he was actually kind to Izzy! :D pg. 299 his confession about Maggie to Izzy. Pg. 340 the blackmail found, sad ending to chapter though Pg. 360 super entertaining :D
Quotes:
"'I'm all ears,' Earnie said. 'Yes, That's true. You do have big ears,' I said (yup, out loud)." pg. 195
"'I'm thinking about moving to Arizona.' 'Why?' 'I'm in love.' 'With a cactus?' 'No, Isabel, a woman.'" pg. 236 conversation of Milo & Izzy
"I had a sudden urge to pick up the crackers and hurl them at Henry, one by one, with a g-force never before experienced by a cracker. Then I had a separate urge to toss them on the floor and crunch them into the carpet with my shoe. Then, you'll be happy to hear, I had a sudden urge to hang on to whatever dignity I had left." pg. 254
My rating out of 10: 9.5
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ: This book contains so much awesomeness that I can't control myself! I can't believe I have to wait 7 months until The Spellmans Strike Again comes out! @-@; How can I wait that long!? Near the ending of this book made me sad. I can't believe Morty and Milo left :( This book was utterly amazing. Loved the longer appendix.
Completed on 8/16/09

27 Dresses


What about this movie that caught my attention: The cover I suppose.
Why I actually finished watching this movie: I wanted to see the sappy ending.
My favorite coupling: Kevin Doyle & Jane Nichols
Other?: n/a
Quotes: "What color is it? Vomit?"
"No. I don't. I'm Jesus"
My rating out of 10: 7
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
It was a bit cliché at times... I mean this wasn't a complete blower of a movie, however it just didn't hit me much. I mean it's cute, sure. But the thing I didn't like was the acting. I guess it's because I got annoyed at the younger sister, then the boss was being stupid and the cliché topic of sisters being jealous of each other as well as the other cliché topic of changing yourself to match your lover more (is the latter a cliché topic? I'm not so sure) still. It annoyed me, so I didn't enjoy it much. Maybe it will be different for you?

The Proposal


What about this movie that caught my attention: It was part of the Romance/ Comedy section :D
Why I actually finished watching this movie: Ryan Reynolds was attractive... and because I liked the plot.
My favorite coupling: Andrew Paxton & Margaret Tate
Other?:
White dog was adorable!!
The amazingly terrific grandma!!
Quotes: "Congratulations, I'm 100 years old."
"So you'll do it? *no response* Before I'm dead?! *thumbs up*"
"Yeah! Show her who's boss Andrew!"
My rating out of 10: 9
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
This was a very comedic romance movie. A super uptight boss (Margaret Tate) and a pushover/ trying-hard to please employer (Andrew Paxton) joined together by a threat. A proposal is then thrust upon the innocent employer. Lying to the family which treated Margaret like she was their actual in-law and then falling in love with Andrew was too much to handle. The deal was called off and a new love arose. The grandmother was brilliant, very comical.

Il Mare


What about this movie that caught my attention: It was what 'The Lake House' was based from.
Why I actually finished watching this movie: The plot is a bit different, more sad.
My favorite coupling: Sung-hyun & Eun-joo
Other?: The mailbox looked pretty
My rating out of 10: 8.5
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
So this was what 'The Lake House' was based off of, and I must say. This movie was really good for a Korean movie. I remember watching 'Unstoppable Marriage' and thought... "Man, this could have extended a bit more" and 'He was cool' and thought "They should have added more explanations" this movie was straight through understandable. It was a bit sadder than the American version of the Lake House, that's for sure. However, the ending made you hopeful for a better future for them.

The Lake House


What about this movie that caught my attention: I wanted to watch it, but then I kept thinking it wouldn't meet my expectation, so I didn't watch it.
Why I actually finished watching this movie: It was such a sweet love story! Clean and pure love.
My favorite coupling: Alex Wyler & Kate Forster
Other?: The lake house was so pretty!
The quote "There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison...." from the novel Persuasion by Jane Austen interpreted in the movie was just brilliant!
My rating out of 10: 9.5
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
I finally decided to watch this movie after watching the trailer for 'Time traveler's wife' (I will watch that soon so I can do a review on it). Why did I think this movie when watching the trailer for another movie? Well. The time difference thing. I wouldn't mind having a pen pal from two years ago right now xP This movie prompted me to watch Il Mare (the movie it was based off of).
The love story of two people in a different time (2 year time difference) conversing over written letters, to me seemed pretty romantic. I mean sure, the other person could be a complete pervert... but this is a love story. Waiting two years for someone with an unchanging heart, knowing that you have to wait because they won't recognize you from your time. It's pretty heart- breaking. I love the ending to this movie, and I think this movie is now my all time favorite.
