The Lost Symbol [Book]


Plot:
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to give a lecture at the United States Capitol, with the invitation apparently from his mentor, a 33rd degreeMason named Peter Solomon, who is the head of the Smithsonian Institution. Solomon has also asked him to bring a small, sealed package which he had entrusted to Langdon years earlier. When Langdon arrives at the Capitol, however, he learns that the invitation he received was not from Solomon, but from Solomon's kidnapper, Mal'akh, who has left Solomon's severed right hand in the middle of the Capitol Rotunda in a recreation of the Hand of Mysteries. Mal'akh then contacts Langdon, charging him with finding both the Mason's Pyramid, which Masons believe is hidden somewhere underground in Washington D.C., and the Lost Word, lest Solomon be executed. .....

➜ The Lost Symbol is the greatest and thrilling book I've ever read most of Dan Brown's works. This book is  spectacular that you won't be able to think that there is a secret lies within Washington, D.C. I am a Dan Brown's fan. I've read Digital Fortress, The Deception and Lost Symbol while I watched the film of Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. All of his works is great. And in the Lost Symbol you will learn that the "thing" we've known since we we're a child would have a secret you didn't expect. I'm grateful that this book will be adapted in a film next year. And Dan Brown will be the scriptwriter so It will be great. I look forward to it.

16 Wishes [Movie]


Plot:
Abigail Louise "Abby" Jensen (Debby Ryan), who is eager to grow up, has been planning for her sweet 16 ever since she was a little girl. She has a list of secret wishes she wants to come true. When the big day finally arrives, she excitedly adds her 16th and final wish to the secret wish list she's been keeping: a photo of Logan (Keenan Tracy), her crush.


➜ This movie is so funny. Having your sweet 16 ruined by a wasps. How bad is that? But Abby Jensen was able to get through that because of Celeste who gave her a 16 candles to make her wish granted. Abby is a greedy person she wished and wished until she wished that " When I'm 16 they will not treat me as a kid." This wish change her life in an instant. She became a woman not a girl. She must have her 16 year old life until midnight or she will become a 22 year old that wasn't able to experience graduation. It really is funny. And what I like in this movie is Abby's bestfriend, Jay (played by Jean-Luc Bilodeau. He is so handsome, cool and hot!
I like him and he was in Kyle XY as Kyle's younger brother. :D Anyway, this movie is really good and girls who wish for something like "Having a red car when I'm 16 or I will wear cute clothes when I'm sixteen" should watched it. By the way, I find Debby Ryan and Selena Gomez alike. I don't know why but they are really similar with each other.  

27 Dresses [Movie]



Plot:
Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) has been a bridesmaid for twenty-seven weddings. One night when she is attending two weddings almost simultaneously, she meets Kevin Doyle (James Marsden), who helps her home but disgusts her with his cynical views of marriage. He finds her day planner which she'd forgotten in the cab they shared. Meanwhile, Jane's sister Tess (Malin Åkerman) falls in love with Jane's boss George (Edward Burns). Tess pretends to like the same things that George does so that she can get him to like her. Despite loving George herself, Jane does not reveal the truth and the courtship progresses rapidly. Soon the new couple announce that they intend to marry in only three weeks.


➜ Sorry, if I will give my review to this movie late since I really just watched it last Sunday. I don't watch movies or series without subtitles because I won't be able to understand it because of my hearing. Anyway, this movie is funny. I really don't imagine that there will be a person like Jane in real life but if it does. I'll give her my support for being a good bridesmaid.  I thought Jane and her boss will end up together because she loves him but the interference of Kevin Doyle a.k.a. Malcolm Doyle (Jane's favorite writer). Because he writes beautiful story of weddings. Jane is so obsessed with the wedding since she was a child. She likes the part when the Bride entered and walking to the aisle. Anyway, it was a good movie. So, thumb ups and Katherine Heigl is like my favorite since she was in the Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Lizzie. :D

GOSSIP GIRL SEASON 4 [Series]


Plot:
Season four's main mystery revolves around Juliet Sharp (Katie Cassidy), a secretive girl with an agenda against Serena involving her past. The second half of the season builds on the complications of Serena's new found relationship with her former teacher Ben, Chuck trying to regain control of Bass Industries from Russell Thorpe (Michael Boatman), and Dan and Blair's growing relationship. The season also focuses on Lily's past betrayals coming back to haunt her; Chuck and Blair's tumultuous relationship after their break up; Dan and Vanessa's deteriorating friendship; and the arrival of Serena's cousin Charlie Rhodes (Kaylee DeFer) to the Upper East Side.

The first two episodes of the season took place with Serena, Blair, and Chuck in Paris. While in Paris, Blair meets Prince Louis Grimaldi, to whom she later becomes engaged at the end of the season.

➜ I watched Gossip Girl Season 4 mainly because I'm bored. And I didn't have any videos to watch. So, I decided to watch this though I wasn't able to watch the first 3 season. Mainly, because the story is so divided between the huge cast of the series but I like gossip girl because of Blair and Serena and also their partner Chuck and Dan & Nate. Serena is in love with the 2 latter guys. I like how Blair still loves Chuck even though he treated her harshly and Serena is so fast to fall in love with other guy than the 2 guys she's in love with. At the end of the season, I didn't thought that Chuck will let go of Blair though I think they will end up with each other in the end. What I'm most curious at, is that there was a pregnancy kit that was left in the trash can of Blair and Serena's bathroom. Who is pregnant? I hope it's Blair so that she and Chuck will end up for sure. :D Anyway, I can't wait for the next season of Gossip Girl.

➜ This book is quite hilarious. You'll never think that something like that will happen in the end.

I recommend it to everyone who likes books! :)

D.Gray-Man [Manga]

 

Synopsis

Towards the end of the 19th century, Allen Walker officially joins the organization of Exorcists that destroy the beings known as Akuma; mechanic weapons made by the Millennium Earl with the suffering souls of the dead. Allen has both a cursed eye and an anti-Akuma weapon as an arm, bearing the power of "Innocence", a gift given to him as an apostle of God. Allen, along with his fellow Exorcists must put a stop to the Millennium Earl's ultimate plot that could lead to the destruction of the world and all who live on it.


➜ This a manga of Hoshino Katsura. This is so great that I can't stopped bragging about what happened. I read the manga where the anime stops. The story keeps getting interesting. Sorry if I'm a spoilsport because I really want to share what happened. Allen is no longer an exorcist in the Order because they branded him as a Noah. Noah is supposed to be a relatives of the Earl. Allen is the legacy of the "MUSICIAN". Cross Marian is dead. Ahh. ~~ I really can't wait for the next update but this manga updates once a month. That's really long. :( I'm looking forward to it's next chapter. :)
