I Didn’t Know That

I am not a Facebook-quiz-addict. I saw some of my friends who,like, do a quiz in like every 5 seconds. Tonight, I decided to do some. But not those “When-are-you-going-to-be-pregnant” ones. Those are plain stupid.

P.S. I Love You

Which chick (by that I’m referring to girls, not the feathery kind) in the free world were not smitten by the movie P.S. I Love You?

Well, I’m sure there are plenty, myself included coz I don’t like the idea of watching Hilary Swank in a chick flick. It’s so wrong, and she was ultra skinny. But, no complaints ’bout Gerard Butler though. He can be my dead Irish husband anytime *grins* ohmygawd, that sounds so wrong.

OK. I watched the movie anyway. And I did become a bit teary-eyed at every scene of Holly-and-Gerry courtships in Ireland. Seriously, it will be much better without Hilary Swank.

The story is like this:

Holly and Gerry are a happily married couple living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan until Gerry dies of a brain tumor. Deeply distraught, Holly withdraws from her family and friends until they descend upon her on her 30th birthday. They are determined to force the young widow to face the future and decide what her next career move should be. As they rally around Holly and help organize her apartment, a cake is delivered, and on it is a message from Gerry. It proves to be the first of several — all ending with the sign-off P.S. I Love You — he arranged to have delivered to her after his death. As the seasons pass, each new message fills her with encouragement and sends her on a new adventure. While Holly’s mother Patricia and her best friends Denise and Sharon are concerned Gerry’s letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, they are in fact pushing her into the future. With Gerry’s words as her guide, Holly slowly embarks on a journey of rediscovery.

Gerry pre-arranged for Holly, Denise, and Sharon to travel to his homeland of Ireland, and while there they meet William, a singer who strongly reminds Holly of her deceased husband and coincidentally was his childhood friend. During the vacation, Denise announces she’s engaged and Sharon reveals she’s pregnant, and the news causes Holly to relapse emotionally and once again withdraw into herself.

Holly eventually enrolls in a fashion course and discovers she has a flair for designing women’s shoes. A newfound self-confidence allows her to emerge from her solitude and embrace her friends’ happiness. She decides to take her mother on a trip to Ireland, and as the film ends the audience is left with the notion that Holly has opened herself up to the journey that the rest of her life will be, and wherever it takes her; she finally abandons her fear of falling in love.

BUT…

This entry is not about the movie/book.

We are going to talk about the REAL WORLD’S VERSION OF

P.S. I LOVE YOU

I found this article in Yahoo yesterday:

When 6-year-old Elena Desserich was diagnosed with brain cancer, she began hiding hundreds of little love notes around the house for her parents to find after she was gone. Here’s the story:

Just before her sixth birthday, Elena Desserich (right) was diagnosed with brain cancer and given 135 days to live. She lived 255 days, passing away in 2007. After her death, Elena’s parents, Brooke and Keith, found hundreds of notes from Elena hidden around the house — in between CD cases, between bookshelves, in dresser drawers, in backpacks….

“It just felt like a little hug from her, like she was telling us she was looking over us”

One of the notes look like this:

Now, if they are gonna turn this into a movie, I say “AYE” to Gerard Butler’s being cast as the father

Such a heart warming story, kan? Read more at:

EAT COME FIRST RESTAURANT

Seriously, this is the name of the restaurant. Some might know it as Ah Ka Su restaurant. It’s situated somewhere behind Harbour View Hotel. The suckling pig is so famous that you have to reserve beforehand or come real early. We came at 6 pm. That’s early dinner for us. Go and check it out for yourself

Oh well.
