Dites-moi,svp

Yes,I have rewarded myself well by having an empty slot in the middle of the day,but it alright I was in Borders super duper early and was standing there,guarding the entrance of the door like a door bitch,holding a book as a prop while glaring at the door,without letting a fly escape from my sight.Because,I m so excited,someone very important and nice to me was going to arrive! My oldest best friend from Primary 1,airflown from Maldives(+ her bf airflown from Paris) as she has been working there for about 2 yrs.
My oldest best friend (PH)did not arrive,yet I saw ‘mother hen’ first,if u know her,u know her,’mother hen’ spurred up the excitement in me.Soon, I saw my oldest best friend running to me.She was really like a bundle of spring flowers+ full of paper bags strapped around her.It was just so great to see her and her bf.We shopped around Borders!,PH with lotsa paper bags and bags all over her, was looking like a warrior running around,they really bought many books in a short time.
My old best friend ,since Primary 1,my idol too…DELF C1 + super workaholic+super careerwoman,I know I will never be that workaholic and climb the success ladder that fast.If there is someone who truly deserves the success,it got to be her!
Time flew….we parted…
I miss her so so much!Time with her is always so short.
alors,
Dites-moi, pourquoi la vie est belle…
Parce que vous etes la….

translated from French by Linda Asher
A very disjointed link of beautiful sentences and quotable quotes,disjointed by the multiple interventions of intensive stories.The garden walk consist of story A(18th century:a Mdm de T with her young one-night stand Chevalier to fake as her lover,while her real lover, a certain Marquis actually was able to bump into the Chevaliar and understood the happening incident the night before and of coz here’s her real husband who actually excused himself and left them alone) Story B (20th century:some scientists+assistants+social gathering which seemingly danced out an orgy between them)Story C (the writer and his wife Vera.Almost a hardsell of a variety of ideas linking up in someway with are too complicated to be taken seriously.
The book started and ended well with beautiful proses.

Characters:
Lolita Cassard-I seriously think that she is inflicting her physical insecurity on to everyone,she is the main character of the show and her emotions can really turns every helping heart into wraths.She is terrible even though she has a spontenously nice soul and a kind heart,her frequent mood swings and inferority complex is taking a toil on everyone.I know a person who is like that.The only good thing about my gf is that she tries to slim down but most of the time I assume that she thinks its her right of way after she has identified the cause of her emotional downswing.For example,XXXXXX ,I am offended.You wont understand me’
Getting a little personal here;no one will understand anyone fully,lets be thankful for the person who sincerely tried to help and not create more tension,soon no one will try to understand you.Identifying your own emotion is not a battle won ,changing perspective is one part of the battle , only by improving the situation will the battle be won.
The character(Lolita) in the story did not try to improve her own situation but to create more grudges.I do not like her at all.( Due the the close resemblance of the character and my gf,Lolita makes the show rather unbearable
Karine Cassard and Sylvia Millet-very positive wife ,very giving.I like them.
Étienne Cassard-Etienne has developed an immunity to Lolita’s endless complexes as he himself is a self-centred,blunt guy who treats Karine bluntly
Pierre Millet-a nice guy with a looser mindset ,he is gaining some recognition after he began mixing around with Étienne
Sebastian-One nice guy,reminds me of my gf’s husband,just that Sebastian is a nicer guy than my gf’s hubby
i shall not rate this show as I m getting quite personal here

Imagine Him
and Her
together,it will be just so PRICELESS
the official poster for the show
The dress that looks so good from the front
Exciting parts,strangely,there were parts when i felt excited,true excitement and anixety for the couple.
for trailer
for NG moments
The show is simple,somehow could be realistic, we could really go hoping for a guy(most probably old and rich) for grabs and spend so much dosh on you for a few days,no doubt the “Cinderalla’ dream is still there,sadly,it comes with good looks and hardwork.Apart from this,there are some parts of the show who I find unrealistic ,especially with the baggages that she carries as she moves hotel to hotel.Where is the truck that she had when she was with the white dress?The way they sneak out is incredibly frequent,i feel somehow excited for them,even though there is no big and exciting effects.Due to Irene’s materialism ,it is compared to Breakfast at Tiffany.Apart from the nice clothes and the pretty face.My favourite line was Irene asking Jean for the time ,he replied ‘9 diamants et quart’.That moment was sheer apt,I like the way the show is PRICELESS!!
je voudrais…je aimerais…
to watch again!

Le Papillon

Le Papillon (The Butterfly) French lyrics
Pourquoi les poules pondent des oeufs?
Pour que les oeufs fassent des poules.
Pourquoi les amoureux s’embrassent?
C’est pour que les pigeons roucoulent.
Pourquoi les jolies fleurs se fanent?
Parce que ça fait partie du charme.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.
Pourquoi le feu brûle le bois?
C’est pour bien réchauffer nos coeurs.
Pourquoi la mer se retire?
C’est pour qu’on lui dise Encore.
Pourquoi le soleil disparaît?
Pour l’autre partie du décor.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.
Pourquoi le loup mange l’agneau?
Parce qu’il faut bien se nourrir.
Pourquoi le lièvre et la tortue?
Parce que rien ne sert de courir.
Pourquoi les anges ont-ils des ailes?
Pour nous faire croire au Père Noël.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.
Ca t’a plu, le petit voyage?
Ah oui beaucoup!
Vous avez vu des belles choses?
J’aurais bien voulu voir des sauterelles
Des sauterelles ? Pourquoi des sauterelles ?
Et des libellules aussi,
A la prochaine fois, d’accord.
D’accord.
Je peux te demander quelque chose?
Quoi encore?
On continue mais cette fois-ci c’est toi qui chantes.
Pas question.
S’il te plait.
Non, mais non.
Allez, c’est le dernier couplet.
Tu ne crois pas que tu pousses un peu le bouchon?
Pourquoi notre coeur fait tic-tac?
Parce que la pluie fait flic flac.
Pourquoi le temps passe si vite?
Parce que le vent lui rend visite.
Pourquoi tu me prends par la main?
Parce qu’avec toi je suis bien.
Pourquoi le diable et le bon Dieu?
C’est pour faire parler les curieux.
Love the show to bites,I actually watched it without the subtitles. 
However,its nice in a way as it trains my ears.The girl is superbly cute!
They found a deer among the bushes

Looking at the pictures of Paulette drawn by Audrey
When they were just friends,I love how they develop their feelings for each other
The best part of the show is how Franck is willing to be in an emotional relationship with Camille despite her being defensive.I also like the role of Philibert,he is quite a rare gem,still stuck in the era of the previous century.Nice guy who ended up with the girl that he likes!
On the whole a simple happy-ending plot with nice dialogues.A heart-warming, modern story,not stunningly impressive.As the setting of the show is rather calming and homely,it is definately worth watching it for the second time on a DVD at the comfort of your couch in ur PJs .Perfect for a stay-in !
Just skip the cinema and save your dosh!

A La Folie Pas Du Tout
April 22, 2009
spoiler
Angélique (Audrey Tautou) is a successful art student who has won a scholarship fell in love with Dr. Loïc Le Garrec (Samuel Le Bihan).Things happened from Angelique’s point of view,which somehow gives some clues to Dr Loic’s point of view which happened from the 30th min of the film.What I really liked about this show was that I was slightly deceived as I was misled in the first part of the show,despite discovering some parts which shown Loic’s endearing attidute towards his wife.
The scenes which I liked the most,or rather the most misleading parts were :at the convention party,(mainly how he went into the toilet after her and in the car),at the park where she drew him, the part where Angelique’s friend came to confront Loic and the police investigation.
The scenes that gave away clues where how he treated his wife and how unparticipative Loic was about ‘their’ trip to Florence.
Love the twist of the story!
Lastly,I have to say that Loic was really a victim and is a great guy, so was his wife.They were equally strong in career and personality and very compatible together.
The show harped on simple ideas ,simple cinematography techniques(cheap too) but based on a great idea-Erotomania!
Stars: 4 out of 5( i will give it a 4.5 stars if they were to shorten the third part of the show)
The Frog Prince by Stephen Mitchell

The Frog Prince by Stephen Mitchell
So I finished the book on the Frog Prince on the way to the Lourve,sans doute on the happy everafter ending.It seems so apt holding the green book reading about a story supposingly based on one of the small kingdoms in France narrated by Stephen Mitchell . The version was somehow fractured with miraculous fine details yet not twisted due to the ending.The writer wrote his own version of finding modern true love in a setting centuries ago.
The kick start of the story was amazing,it begun with women seeking for love and having different unexpected expected ending.Princes could turn into frogs or princes but frogs will always be frogs.Many women marrying princes and ended up having frogs,happy is the woman who married a prince and still able to wake up to see the same prince after 25 yrs of marriage.Yet this very princess was able to turn a frog in a prince overnight,forever.
