I want to write a letter to Juliet♥

OMG!!! I am in loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ♥ I am lost for words every time I watch romantic movies. The aftereffect is just so over the top. So there, I watched Letters to Juliet again for the 4th time. Yes, you saw it right - for the fourth time. Told you, the effect of this movie on me is beyond the pale! The story is about an American girl discovers a love letter that changes her life in this romantic comedy starring Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave. The setting is Verona, Italy -- the city where Romeo and Juliet first met. In Verona, there's a wall where the lovelorn leave notes, hoping that Juliet will answer their inquiries about love. Sophie (Seyfried) is part of a team of volunteers who respond to the letters. When Sophie answers a letter from 1957, the woman who wrote it (Redgrave) decides to seek out the one that got away, and romance starts to blossom all around (rotten tomatoes). 


Maybe, the not-so-common love story struck me the most. And the lines? Ahhh, beyond my expectation. I was deeply moved. Especially the exchange of letters between Claire and Sophie (Juliet). I felt the love, care, longing, hope and sadness. The letters exchanged were like this:

Dear Juliet

I didn't go to him, Juliet. I didn't go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust I promised I'd meet him and run away together because my parents don't approve. But, instead, I left him waiting for me below our tree - waiting and wondering where I was. I'm in Veronoa now. I return to London in the morning and I am so afraid. Please, Juliet tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking and I have no one else to turn to.

Love, Claire 

Dear Claire,

What and If are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don’t know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it’s never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn’t it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don’t know what a love like Juliet’s feels like – love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I’d like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn’t, I hope one day that you will.

All my love, Juliet

These are two of my favorite lines from the movie:

True love has no expiration date.
- Sophie

No, when we speak about love, it's never too late.
- Lorenzo

The Mistress

FINALLY! Another John Lloyd-Bea movie again! You have no idea how excited I am for this movie. Of course, the fact that John Lloyd is having a movie again is making me more excited. If you will ask me, Bea Alonzo is the perfect partner for JL. The chemistry and the magic are always present when they are together. Imagine, they've been screen partners for ten years already?! This movie is their 10th Anniversary offering as on-screen partners.

The title alone was very controversial already. When I heard that the movie is entitled "The Mistress", I thought that Bea here is the mistress of John Lloyd. Well obviously, I was so wrong. The movie is about Sari (Bea Alonzo) being the mistress of Rico (Ronaldo Valdez) who happens to be the husband of Regina (Hilda Koronel). Then, there came a man named JD (john Lloyd Cruz) who fell in love with Sari.

The poster is a killer!!! Aside from the kiss, did you notice that John Lloyd's pinching a bit of Bea's skin? Gosh, I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw this. That was sweet!
