10th Diamond: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I'm not gonna talk about the movie. It's not out, YET.

But I DID read the book. 

It's an epistolary novel, meaning that it's written in a form of letters or diary entries.

Maybe I should make a page here regarding epistolary posts...that would

be interesting yes. Wow, I'll start when I'm ready then :D

Back to the main point, the movie is coming out on September *I think* and 

the official trailer is out. Well, it first premiered on the MTV Movie Awards

and for those who missed it, don't worry, it's already uploaded on the internet.

ENJOY 

as usual, I don't know how to edit the size of the video here....please anyone

teach me how!

So far, it looks interesting enough to be watched and they had the same producer as "Juno"

It is also said that the author himself wrote the script for the movie, 

so I guess that would be interesting!!!!

Reading the book itself is quite an experience. Somehow I imagined Patrick to 

be not as "flamboyant" as the one in the trailer even though he is gay.

And so far, I thought I imagined Sam with long hair =.= Emma did a great job though 

because she is gorgeous. Logan Lerman is THE ONE!

Though I have to say myself, I can't imagine him smoking or doing drugs....his face is not the type....I think...

The book is different from all other books I've read so far. This book has a 

realistic view of an adolescent's life and how hanging out with friends

can actually influence us. 

The story starts with this boy named Charlie. He is the youngest of three siblings

and from his letters, his parents are nice people. They're not abusive and such so I

guess it's a good start. He did mention an Aunt that loves him several times.

Then his highschool life began. He grew fond of his English teacher, Bill, but not fond 

of other students. Finally, he met Sam and Patrick. Sam was described as beautiful and Patrick

is gay but that is not mentioned until somewhere in the middle part of the book. 

Then starts the party, hangouts, socializing, which later leads to smoking, drug, and even

sex at some point but Sam was nice enough to only did it once....making out is an

exception. At the end, Sam and Patrick  graduated while Charlie starts his sophomore year. 

They keep in contact with each other. Between the parts of those events, there are relationships

broken or started, and there are, of course, humiliating moments as well. But I guess that's life.

I enjoyed reading it as I was curious of how Charlie and Sam will turn out as well as 

their future. At the end of the book, Charlie said that he'll be okay even though he's not 

writing anymore letters. Each part starts with a "Dear friend," so it really is an epistolary novel.

As for rating, I'm going to say 7 out of 10? or 9 out of 10? I'm not a critic but personally, 

it was an enjoyable book :D

For those of you who doesn't have enough money to buy the book and support the author, 

you can download the file here. As for those who can buy the book, please do~

I guess that would be the end of my long post regarding "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"

and CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!!!! it's PG-13 by the way...

"We are INFINITE"

Thank you for reading!!

9th Diamond: SUMMER!

SUMMER IS HERE and you know what it's going to be about,

LONG HOLIDAY!!!!

Imagine all the beaches, the fun in the sun, the summer dresses and shorts, 

the hangouts, the crazy days and, don't forget, waking up late!!

Now that school is out, we can wake up late everyday! Hooraaaaayyyyyyy~

So anyways, I hope you guys have something planned this summer, 

going outside of your country, spending time at your villa, et cetera~

But for those who stayed at home and didn't have anything planned, it's okay :)

At least you get to rest from all the hustle bustle of school. It's really a relief to be able

to sleep all day, play games, eat anything you want at anytime, no homeworks

no tests, and other stuffs regarding school :P

Personally, I didn't have plans to go anywhere myself. My parents were so busy

with work that I eventually made events of my own. Such as, hangouts, or even some 

personal time at home reading books, browsing.

"There's always something to do"

So far, I've read two books and recently did 3 hangouts for the first week of my holiday

That's a good thing rite? Hahah, need to keep myself busy

Another thing is blogging~

It's always fun to blog and talk to the world

So far, I haven't blog a lot and as you can see, this is my ninth post in this blog...

Well, it's a first step :D

And this is the end of this post!

It's just rants,really, no need to read them teehee
