My new wall!!!!!!

(exclamation marks cuz I'm super exited about having it already!)
Ok. I've been collecting pictures, postcards and cutouts from magazines for quite a long time now. And I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the perfect bulletin board (aka cork board).

This is JK Rowlings board, image from Harry Potter Lexicon

 Perfect means the exact size I want. Here's what I tell you. There are no bulletin boards perfect for me. *le sigh*

Then I decided to make one myself. I found out the prices for cork sheets (big boards) and I said to myself. No, thank you! Too expensive.

Then I found out about drywall! It seemed like the perfect thing! The only problem was - it doesn't look too good.

The best photo of drywall, believe me! (from treehugger.com)

I thought I'd just paint it some pretty pastel colour. Or I also had an idea of covering the whole sheet with pretty canvas. And then framing it.

But as everyone knows I don't like complicated stuff. I usually go the easiest way!
And this morning I just knew I had to do it.
I remembered I had double-sided tape somewhere. Couldn't find it. And then an idea popped up in my sleepy head! You can use regular tape in a special way so that it won't be seen AND it want ruin the picture once you decide to move it!
Ok, here's the secret)

Apply the tape to the back of your picture the glued side facing the front.

Fold the tape at the edge of the picture, and now the glued side is facing backwards.

Done! You can pin it anywhere you want. Well, my walls are painted. But I'm using special tape which is sticky enough to grab the wall and the picture, but not too sticky, so that I can easily remove it from both paper and painted wall.

Finally, here's the wall I decorated. It's not much. But I love love love it! Can't wait to wake up to this tomorrow morning =)

Colourful, right?

And here's what I did to it using Picasa editing stuff)

Pretty, huh?

Two sisters divided for the love for a king.

Just finished watching "The other Boleyn girl". What a sad story. I would hate to live in that era. Full of lies, intrigues and betrayal.
I didn't read the plot summary and any of the reviews, so I enjoyed the movie greatly! I haven't enjoyed any film other than comedy or romantic movie so much lately. I cried a lot, I almost wept at some moments.
I can not truly hate any of the characters, they all are the victims of their society.
And men are so easy to manipulate. Any girl (and I mean it), any girl can make a man do whatever she wants him to do.

Oh, and I love Natalie Portman now. Want to see the Black Swan.

ps. And yes, I don't care if the film is not true to historic events.

Burgers! Yay!

so recently i'vу become addicted to burgers. Not some fast food stuff but nice homemade ones.
I usually use a small mixed grain bun, then some sauce, meat component, vegetables (sometimes pickled) and cheese. You can't go without cheese!
I'll just post some pics of them (Yes, I take pictures of my food!)

1. These two were made with different sauces. Curry and Sweet&Sour. Both Heinz production. I am a Heinz addict! Since like 2007. Then there are in both of them pickled cucumber and pickled hot green pepper. Plus a meat patty steam cooked, which is much healthier than frying. Also note the pink cup from my collection. It's so cute, I use it for hot cocoa or hot chocolate. And the orange one with dots, also from my collection. I prefer having tea in it. The wine bottle is used as a candle holder.

2. These two have same Sweet&Sour sauce. Then this sausage, it is called boiled (cooked) and has these little pieces of fat. I had it lightly fried. Pickles, Cheese and a leaf of lettuce. And my rainbow cup. I had red hibiscus ginger tea in it.

3. This third picture features a not-so-good burger. I used fresh veggies, and I didn't like it. I'm going to give it another try tomorrow and will make the slices thinner. Sweet&Sour Sauce, 2 cheese slices, 2 tomato slices, 2 cucumber slices. And the good old steam cooked meat patty. And one of the latest additions to my collection. This teacup with tea cup pattern. Isn't it cute with the pink and white polka dots?

 And I have to add, these are very tasty and very nutritive. I had 2 in the morning (at about 9am) and wasn't hungry long after 6pm. And that's something)
Hope you liked this yummy post.
Come back for more.

And I would choose any 1 of these burgers over any 2 of Wendy's, McDonald's or Burger King ones any day.

Pink sunset

This pink sunset was actually taken by me a couple of years ago. It was after a heavy downpour rain. I had to climb up to a roof top of some shop near my university campus. And as the roof was flat and had high edges, it was FULL of water. And I took this picture literally standing in a big puddle of rain water, I was wet up to my ankles. But it was totally worth it. Btw, no editing in this photo.

Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.

After I finished all the episodes of Sonny, I finally got to watch Bride Wars (2009) starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. I smiled, I laughed and I cried. It is a beautiful movie. But some parts were too short, too cutout (is this a word?) Anne is so gorgeous, and Kate is cute. And they both were perfect for each other as best friends and portrayed their characters amazingly true. Just look at their smiles. They say it all.

So Sonny!

I decided to take a little break from the Disney Princesses and watch something else.
I didn't go far from Disney though! =)
First, I watched the two complete seasons of 'Sonny with a chance' starring one of my two favourite Disney girls Demi Lovato (the other one being Selena Gomez).

The show is too good not to watch it and rewatch it (is it even a word?). It may seem a little childish, but it was made for kids and teenagers, so it's fine. And I can't wait to see the 3d season! And I want Chad and Sonny back together =)

The beautiful Demi Lovato as Sonny, who's getting ready for her date with Chad Dylan Cooper, played by cute Sterling Knight.

The romantic dinner

 The billboard reads 'Chad is a fool for Sonny'. Too sweet)

A random shot from the episode 2x01 Walk a Mile in my Pants.

Sonny, I need to tell you something in case I don't make it!

WORK! IT! OUT!

also Tiffany Thornton as Tawni Heart and Nancy McKeon as Connie Munroe, Sonny's mom.

I had so much fun and relaxing time watching this show.
Disney, please, make the 3rd season come to us sooner.

The One that started it all

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937

This animation film is unique in many ways. But mostly - it was the first ever full-length animated production. Mr. Walt Disney was a brave man to risk everything to make the magic happen. And we are all eternally grateful to him. Because this literally started a whole number of Disney's Classic animated movies that have been making whole generations happy.

This is Adriana Caselotti's voice you hear while Snow White's singing. And this voice was used only as Snow White's voice according to Adriana's studio contract with Disney. Just imagine you get payed something under $1000 in the late 1930's and never have the chance to earn more money using it.

I first saw it as child on an old VHS. And loved it immensely. All the music in it made me truly happy and I tried to sing along. I used to watch it from time to time. But then somehow that VHS got lost or borrowed by someone. And I never got it back. *sigh*

I'm so glad I can now watch it in English and admire all the beauty of this film in high quality.

And of course some theatrical posters. The vintage one's are absolutely amazing.

the original and my favourite

I admit I got a bit carried away with all this posters but I couldn't choose. Aren't they just perfect?)
Yet I love Snow White with all my heart I still cannot choose my favourite Disney Princess and the movie. Hard to decide. =)

Love has no boundaries

The Little Mermaid
here's the trailer to it!

It's a beautiful story and beautiful animation movie. I love the songs in it so much.

I have seen it as a child but remember too little. I remember though watching the show Little Mermaid when she was having fun with Flounder and other little underwater friends. And I remember that Ursula used to scare the crap out of me (and she still does!)

I hated to see great King Triton in that miserable state when Ursula turned him into a plant-animal-something.

Now, to the graphics. Original vintage theatrical posters.

My favourite ones are the first and the third. Now, the second poster  looks weird and kinda creepy. but fine =)

 

And these last two look cute and funny. Sebastian's accent is priceless. =)

I'm going to watch The Return to The Sea and Ariel's Beginning as well. Think I will post about them too.

Share it with someone you love!

Yesterday I stayed up late and watched Disney's Sleeping Beauty for the first time! Can't believe it either lol)
Anyways. Loved it immensely) And I know the main song by heart. I used to sing it with my younger group of students.

And today my sister's family came to visit us and when my baby nephew was trying to cry or felt uncomfortable I hugged him, danced around and sang "Once upon a dream.." The music is just enchanting! He fell asleep almost immediately and was kinda giggling in his sleep from time to time. Sooo cute! I almost pissed my pants because I was so happy) Just listen to it!

The lyrics are quite simple but the melody is magical.

Besides here are some of the posters to this animation movie. Including vintage versions (yay!)

I like the first two most, I guess.
Amazingly colourful and finally there's a prince with personality. :)
