Love Is Never Ugly

Hello beautiful people!

You know what I am bad at? Science subjects.

But besides that, do you know what my biggest guilty pleasure is? Romantic love stories.

I have effortlessly come to a conclusion that I really am a sucker for romantic movies or stories. It has occurred to me that when it comes to lovey dovey cheesy mushy romantic stories, no matter how predictable the stories are, or how bad the storylines are, I will inevitably end up liking those stories. This theory of mine, which has been proven true, by none other than yours truly, applies to both movies and novels.

Let me tell you some examples. Twilight. I mean come on, I have to admit, it’s not like the best movie or anything, but I went like crazy over that movie and the books as well. Why? 90% because I was captivated by the whole love story, despite how cliché it is. Yes, I just used the word captivated.

Then let’s see, books. Yes, novels that I have read, those fiction stories of vampires, fairies, immortals, angels, and well you name them all, the one thing they have in common, which keeps me reading, besides the main storyline, is the love story behind it. For instances, The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, Fallen by Lauren Kate, The Immortal Series by Alyson Noel, The House of Nights Series by PC Cast, just to name a few. Oh and of course those novels from Nicholas Sparks.

Tsk tsk tsk, what can I do? I am soft-hearted like that.

I mean reading these kinds of books, and then reading books that have won Booker Prize or any other awards, like Life of Pi, The Alchemist, White Tiger, God of Small Things, you can really see the differences. Be it from the way the sentences are phrased, or the flow of the story, or the message conveyed from the story, you can really see the differences. Not that I am implying any of them is better than another one, since they are of different genres and people are entitled to their own opinions, plus the fact that I am in no position to criticize anyone’s writings so yeah.

All that I am trying to say is, I am a sucker for love stories.

Speaking of love stories, I have watched Beastly! On the first show, of the first day when the movie was out. Yes, you can say I am enthusiastic over a movie, but well, I’ve been waiting for this movie since last year, and I’ve been a fan of Alex Pettyfer since his first appearance in Stormbreaker, so yeah. I am really that immature at times. It feels like I want to be the first to watch it, kiasu over movies, sad truth.

Anywho, Beastly was such a beautiful movie it made me cry. I really don’t intend to type any further regarding this movie because I can assure you I’ll accidentally spoil the movie. All I can say is it was a beautiful movie. I will probably watch it again with my sister, yay! To those who read the book just like I did, it was a bit different from the book, but in my opinion, it was different in a good way, so fret not, just go watch it and enjoy! Alexander Richard Pettyfer is one beautiful man, goodness.

I genuinely think my enthrallment in the world of romance and love is at its utmost level. You see, this is exactly why when people say hate is a strong word, I say, love is stronger.

Scrolling up this blog post, my first question doesn’t really relate to the following explanations or, you may say bragging, and that is because I don’t know why. I guess watching some of my friends who take up Chemistry or Biology or Physics as their fifth subject just hit me, that really I suck at Science subjects. It’s not like I am completely a fool, nobody is anyways, it’s just that when it comes to any Science subjects, I can’t seem to grasp the concepts and the motivation to study them.

Mathematics is alright, I mean of course it is not easy, and I am not one of those people who have the ability to “see” behind any equations or mathematics questions asked. It is getting really depressing here to see how some of my friends, can straight away work out the mathematics questions in like a few minutes, and for me it will take like half an hour or something. But it’s alright; I need to put in extra efforts knowing my capabilities and limits.

What I always enjoy I believe is when it comes to words, arts, expressing your feelings, those kind of not so science-ish and technical things. Somehow when it comes to words, or reading, I feel comfortable. When it comes to writing, I feel excited. Something I actually anticipate, you know? Of course, nothing is easy. But the difficulties or hardships I feel when it comes to these kinds of subjects are the kind that pushes me forward. The kind that makes me feel even more encouraged to go through the hardships for I know the outcomes will worth it.

On a different note, speaking of hardships, college is currently bombarding me with assignments, tests, and quizzes. I have nothing to ask from you guys except to pray for my success, like pretty please? :]

Oh by the way, What Are Words by Chris Medina is one beautiful song, I could actually cry listening to it. I would like to dedicate that song to everyone who reads this, so please go checkout that song.

Till then, see you when I see you.
