Lovey Dovey

Titanic, Pretty Woman and The Notebook. These have been called the best romantic movies of all time. But what is it in romantic movies that they get so much attention? Why do they appeal to us? I believe that we are interested in complicated and difficult relationships which we can identify with.

  One good example of a tricky relationship is a film called The Fault in Our Stars. Directed by Josh Boone and based on a novel by John Green, the film received a lot of good feedback and attention. The film is about two teenagers who both have cancer and they fall in love. After a delightful and happy time the boy unexpectedly dies which made the end of the movie a very tragic and sad. These kinds of stories are what most of us are fascinated by.

  What appealed to me the most in this movie is that they were both in a difficult situation but yet they found love and each other. The fact that they both got cancer was one reason why the movie appealed to me. I’ve lost one of my family members to cancer so this subject is very close to me and it’s also one reason why this movie was very touching.

 

        Overall, this movie is one of the best romantic movies I’ve ever seen and I recommend this to everyone! If you’re as “lovescatty” as me, I’m sure you’ll love this.

My Life In Pictures

This is my dog Chok. Well he's not my dog anymore because we gave him away. Chok was my bestfriend and I miss him everyday! I've always loved all kinds of animals but after Chok I've began to care more about animals. 

Me and my dear friend having a road trip. I'm a very spontaneous person and I love extempore trips! This picture brings me back all good memories from last summer. 

My dear friend Iina. I love her! We've known eachother for years and we always have good time! This picture was taken in Porvoo where we went last summer. 

Food food food! This is from a food festival in London where we went in last October. I've always loved exotic food so the festival felt like heaven to me. 

Helsinki. <3 Even though I want to move to some other place when I grow up, I love Helsinki. This picture is taken few years ago but this brings me good summer vibes.

The Guardian Film Show

Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 2
This film is said to be less entertaining than the previous Hunger Games -films.

Love
This film had very negative feedback. Only good thing about the film is said to be one of the actors.

The Perfect Guy
This film was a total disappointment for the reviewers.

The Dressmaker
This film is said to be very confusing and weird.

I haven't seen any of these films. If I needed to watch one it would probably be the Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 2. I have seen the previous Hunger Games -films so it would be interesting to see this one. The other ones didn't impress me as the reviewers had so much negative things to say about them.

Around the world

I've always loved traveling and exploring new cultures. I'm half tunisian so I've also grown up in a culture which is very different from the western culture. This is richness which I'm very grateful to have!
If I could go somewhere in the world for one weekend I'd choose London. I've been in London once before but I'd love to go there again. And again. :D One thing that I loved about London is that people were so kind! And the city is so beautiful and it's full of many different things to do. It's Christmas time so there's a lot happening. If I'd visit London I'd probably go to Christmas in Trafalgar Square where a large Christmas tree is being lighted up. I'd also go to Skate at Somerset House where there's a DJ playing all kinds of music while people are skating. Those would be some great experiences because I have never been in events like those.
We're planning on going to London in April with my friends and I'm hoping that everything goes well and our trip takes place! Here's a few pictures from our last trip.
