They had an adventure of getting to know each other's more and found out about each other's secrets and ...


To tell you a little something, a somebody recommended me to see this movie and so I did, thank you. I did enjoy this movie, it reminded me of Stand By Me but even better because I could relate to one of the characters. This movie had almost everything on my little "star" list, meaning it was very enjoyable for me to watch, it's a 9/10. Congratulations.

Mary (Molly Shannon) dreams of becoming a superstar in the movies so that she can get her dream kiss to come true. With attending a catholic high school and being an outcast she can get her dreams to come true by believing in herself. A talent show is held with an awesome price to star in a movie and ...

This movie was on my summer "to watch" list and I can now check it off. I think this movie has a great message of believing in yourself and not the "other kids" in high school. The main character, Mary, has a lot of confidence in her and when she is at the talent show she gains a lot more. It's a movie about standing up for yourself and what you believe you can do, dreams can come true. I give this movie a 8/10, good job.

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now and Hello for later!

Sunday Announcement

Dear reader

I will miss this Music Monday because I'll be gone on a little trip. To fill that in with something else I have news! Last friday, 13th of June, I graduated from high school and I haven't been happier. The feeling of success for I am proud of myself. For all of you like me, be proud of yourself and your development through school. You've grown and you've become more like a grown up, congratulations.

For all of you that still attends high school, be strong but most of all be confident. Know what you want and you'll eventually get where you want to be. I know that it's hard, but think of how you can make high school the best years of your life. Hang with your friends, do your thing, do your homework but most of all have fun!

Monday Announcement

Dear reader

During this week, week 24, I graduate from high school and I have lots of planned things to do. Therefore I won't be able to blog about movies for movie weekend but I can always make this post for you.

Besides watching movies, I watch YouTube. Here are some of the people that I watch and enjoy, they are creative human beings that I think deserves a heads up.

Music Monday

Today I'd love to share the instruments I play... my main instrument is the guitar and my secondary instrument is the piano. So...

... This is my Courtney, she's an acoustic guitar with metal strings from the brand Cort.

I got Courtney on my confirmation party.

For more guitars from the brand Cort:

... This is my Carissa, she's also an acoustic guitar but with nylon strings from the brand Cataluna.

Carissa is my first guitar and I got her whilst attending primary school. I took a few guitar classes with her.

For more information about the brand Cataluna, here's the link:

Last but not least, here's my Kays dotted with a few music notes. She's from the brand Casio.

I got Kays whilst attending junior high school and I have played ever since.

I share this information with you, mainly for the element of fun, and because I might as well introduce you to what types/kinds I play with.

I do have an ukulele and also an electric guitar but as I don't play those instruments, at all (only sometimes), these ones are as I said my main and secondary instruments. 

Hope you enjoyed this little information on this music monday.

Movie Weekend

Based on: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
Language: English
Country: United Kingdom & United States
Director: Chris Columbus
Producer: David Heyman
Screenplay: Steve Kloves
Composer: John Williams
Cinematography: John Seale
Editing: Richard Francis-Bruce
Studio: Heyday Films, 1492 Pictures
Distributed by: Warner. Bros. Pictures
3 Notable actors: 
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint & Emma Watson





Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), son of a wizard, was raised up by his mother's sisters family (since he was only a little baby when they first met). His parents died when he was only a little kid and that by a powerful wizard, named Voldemort. 11 years later Harry gets a letter from Hogwarts wizard academy and starts to attend that school. On the train there he met Ron and Hermione, and they later on becomes friends. On Harry's journey to the wizard world both great and dangerous things happens and ...

I have read the book before watching the movie, this time, and I got annoyed with a few things but I accept it because a movie is a movie as a book is a book. When a book becomes a movie there are of course a few changes in the story that needs to change so that the storyline is good enough to be played.

I think this movie is a fantasy classic, it's got magic spells, wizards, centaurs, mugglers, trolls.
I rate this movie 8/10 stars, though I completely love it the things that was missing was a message and some drama.

Language: English
Country: United States
Director: Darren Stein
Producers: Stephen Israel, Darren Stein, Richard Bever, Kate Romero, Kelly Burkhardt, Michael Beilinson & Christopher Sepulveda
Writer: George Northy
Studio: School Pictures, Parting Shots Media & Logolite Entertainment
Distributed by: Vertical Entertainment
3 Notable actors: Michael J. Willett, Paul Iacono, Joanna "JoJo" Levesque.







Tanner (Michael J. Willett) and Brent (Paul Iacono) are two closeted gay best friends who attends a high school dominated by 3 queen bees who wants a GBF, a gay best friend. They all think that a GBF is someone you can toy around with but once Soledad (Joanna "JoJo" Levesque) forms a LGBTQ group she, in a way, forces Tanner out of the closet. With Tanner being officially out as gay the queen bees gets to him quick and Tanner's life takes a dramatic change to become a real life GBF toy.

This movie brings out what a real GBF is and what it looks to be but isn't. I think this movie is all about the laughter but also try for the LGBTQ community. There are critics about this movie and in my opinon I do agree with some of the critics but this is a movie worth watching for fun. So, I hereby rate this movie 4/10 stars. In this genre it's not really missing anything but for my 10 stars it's for what I want to see, explore and enjoy.

That's all for this movie weekend. Hope you enjoyed the new layout and the text itself.

Bye for now, hello for later.
