Happy Birthday et cetera...!!!

  
It's been a year! Unfortunately, I can pass a year with this blog hihi~

Actually, I didn't realize that today is my blog's first birthday. I just idly checked all my blog posts and found that my first blog was posted on May, 6th 2011. In a sudden, I remembered that I posted my first blog right after I made this blog. So, it's the day!

Firstly, this blog was named Girlicious and was meant to have girly things to be posted but I'm pretty sure I'm not that type of girl -_- so, I renamed it into et cetera... and was meant to have random things to be posted like random knowledge, profiles of famous people, logic tests, my experiences, and, et cetera... :)

Well, don't know else what to share. Once more, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST BLOG! Sorry if I often ignore you.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Year : 2010
Genre: Romantic comedy
Director : Putthiphong Promsakha na Sakon Nakhon and Wasin Pokpong
Starring :  Pimchanok Luevisetpaibool, Mario Maurer
Duration: 120 min

Crazy Little Thing Called Love is a movie from Thailand, about Nam (Pimchanok Luevisetpaibool) who is a bespectacled and dark-skinned 14-year-old ugly duckling secretly in love with Chon (Mario Maurer), her high school senior who also happens to be its most popular student. Over one summer, she ditches the spectacles and has her skin lightened. She is cast as Snow White in the school play and lands a spot as the leggy drum majorette leading the marching band. She sets hearts aflutter, but Chon's. Or that's what she thinks...

Romantic and attractively packaged, this movie made me cry even tho I have watched it three times. It has an unpredictable ending.

So, curious about the ending? Just watch it because it's like telling you that when you love someone, just be brave to say that you want him to be with you and when you hold your love, don't ever let it go or you will lose your chance to make your dreams come true (okay, it's a lyric of a song) but that's what we can infer. Besides, see the player of Chon, Mario Maurer! I hope you're not blind to say that he's handsome.
