TGIF

Finally, seems like a long week and so glad it's Friday. I like those meme things so maybe it's a good chance to try out a Friday Five!

1. What is a movie that makes you HAPPY?

A good romantic comedy, especially if it is set somewhere abroad. I enjoy the Richard Curtis ones like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones

   

2. What is a movie that makes you SAD?

Movies about WWII makes me sad, maybe because I'm reminded that this was reality and the suffering was real. The Pianist and Schindler's List come to mind.

  

3. What is a movie that makes you SCARED?

I don't watch too many horror movies because I'm a chicken. Psychological thrillers make me scared. I remember when I watched The Shining for the first time it freaked me out. Also, the Silence of the Lambs is still one of the scariest movies for me to watch.

4. What is a movie that makes you feel INSPIRED?

Every time I watch one of my favorite films, Amelie, I am inspired by the scene when she is watching the video tape montage of the random events including a horse running on the street and people dancing. I love that message of being reminded to get out of your shell and live your life.

5. What is a movie that you never get tired of watching?

I think it's a tie between my childhood cult favorite Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the Sound of Music

 

Happy Friday, Friday, Friday...

(ahaha, I'm sorry I really really hate this song and who sings it)

The First Five

Ok, I am not sure how to start off one of the first posts and I am still trying to figure out the mechanics of Blogger so perhaps it might be easier to list 5 of my favorite things or facts about myself as a brief introduction!

1. I currently live in Vancouver, Canada. It's a great city, beautiful and has almost any food imaginable. Every time I travel elsewhere I get a bit excited to be home.
2. My favorite classic authors are Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy. I also like Dickens but rather watch the BBC movies than read the actual books because they are so long
3. I'm a bit of an Anglophile and like all things British. Also I adore France and all its food and architecture. I'm also a fan of those cheesy french romantic comedies they are so good at making
4. Someday I would like to develop my photography hobby but at the moment I only have a common point and shoot digi cam
5. Pink is my favorite color
