I Thank My Lucky Stars!

Oh. My. God. I won in a giveaway competition for the very first time EVER! What's more, I'd entered it on a whim. I won a pair of tickets to a preview screening to the movie based on the awesome book by Alice Sebold, 'The Lovely Bones'! I'd been dying to watch it ever since last year, and you wouldn't BELIEVE how many times I'd watched its trailer already! I've included the trailer below! I'd also entered the one winning a pair of tickets to watch 'Alice in Wonderland'. Didn't win that one. Still, I'm so lucky enough to win these! And I'd invited my friend, Becky to watch it with moi! 

I'd finished reading 'The Lovely Bones' just a month ago. And I just looove the storyline! Read the 2nd picture below for my rating and description of the book! Hopefully the movie's just as good as the book...

This is a quote by the author of 'The Lovely Bones':

"Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them."

Keep Calm and Carry On!

I'm sure most people, or at least some, have seen this slogan somewhere. On shirts, mugs, blogs, posters, even on Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies)! It might seem some sort of a word of wisdom, it's actually a World War II propaganda poster! It had been forgotten for 70 years, but not now! The original poster is now made into many variations. Here are some pictures for this five-word wartime motto!

                                        

Rupert Grint often wears tees sporting the slogan

A shirt that's probably making fun of the actual slogan. Still, good one!

I'm a dead person now. I've lost my wallet!! Thank God there ain't much money in it. The only thing... my bookstore membership card and student pass! :x Praying desperately for it to resurface...

Here's the quote!
