Bubbles Yablonsky

Sarah Strohmeyer is the best. really. her stories are wicked and her books were why i am so chirpy these days. i'm already on the 4th book of the Bubbles Series! my favourite by Strohmeyer has to be the Cinderella Pact (with all the Belinda Apple stints and Chip!!) though her Bubbles Series and all the homemade recipes are a big rocker. you ought to check them out. bubbles is CLASSIC.

so here are the titles, for those who are already thinking of hitting the library or nearest bookstore to check out Bubbles the Hairdresser/Reporter.

Bubbles Unbound
Bubbles In Trouble
Bubbles Ablaze
Bubbles A Broad (now the defination to A Broad is really classic. tt's so...bubbles.)
Bubbles Bethrothed :) (and hopefully to Steve Stiletto, im not done with book four yet!)

and other Strohmeyer titles you HAVE to read:
The Cinderella Pact (i lurvvve it!)
The Secret Lives of the Fortunate Wives

now now im a big bubblehead too :) and a big Belinda Apple fan! and most importantly, a big fan of Strohmeyer herself!

as for the movies!
im really interested in watching Letters from Iwo Jima. you know i recall reading from this astrology website and it says Virgoans make good historians. smth like that, or that Virgoans LOVE history. how true is that!

as for Letters, what about it really intrigues me is the fact that it is a movie on the Second World War from the japanese point of view. there are really a lot of movies based on the second world war, such as Empire of the Sun, but there are hardly any movies i can think of that speaks of the war from the japanese angle. now, im not denying the atrocities the japanese soldiers committed during the Second World War. they were horrible and many countries suffered and languished in agony during the Japanese Occupation. but it's intriguing to find out what went on in the minds of the ruthless soldiers who robbed millions of their homes and families. afterall, they were/are humans too and they had/have families too. and most of them probably never wanted to go to war against asia too. they were, and i think most likely, coerced into war. so its only fair that we watch this movie and think about the content and appreciate the themes. history at its best.

okay i dont know if this makes sense but i think the movie would be nice. maybe it wouldnt be that politically correct but i sure hope the cinematographic effects would make it my personal favourite. i really hope it doesnt disappoint me :)
