Kat's Notebook

Out of the blue, I got into reading this Swedish author’s novel. I didn’t actually know why I committed myself in reading Stieg Larsson’s books. When I saw the upcoming movie trailer of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (cast: Daniel Craig), I was intrigued. From the trailer I saw that it was adapted from [...]

Our TV has been seriously neglected for the past summer months. I couldn’t find anything to watch except for Masterchef and So You Think You can Dance (which I didn’t really follow that much.) Anyway come September the better TV shows come back! Here are their schedules (if you’re watching what I’m watching, ) Parenthood [...]

While I was perusing People magazine, I saw this advertisement page of Gayle Forman’s book “If I Stay”. I didn’t know why I thought it was an interesting book to read. I  had never heard of the author. I guessed I was convinced by the wistful girl  on the cover or maybe I was still [...]

During my routine trip to the city library, I borrowed this Korean movie dvd which I thought I would end up returning without having watched at all just like what I always do with the other dvds. Surprisingly I couldn’t stop thinking about this movie after I’ve watched it. It has been a long time [...]

Before I hit the books again, I decided to catch up on some interesting korean dramas. Thankfully our internet here in the US is faster than in the Philippines so I was able to video-stream easily. My source of korean dramas were mysoju.net and dramacrazy.net. My younger brother also downloaded some dramas so I was [...]

After a harrowing 3-day exam, my friend and I were just ready to explode from the stress. Instead of jumping off a building, we decided to watch a rom-com movie, My Amnesia Girl. The movie starred my favorite romantic leading man, John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga. Because I loved John Lloyd in his flicks [...]

For the past week, I’ve set aside my study review to faithfully watch the World series. It’s 7-game fight between Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants. Who do you think I’m rooting for? Of course, the Giants. Our hometeam. I’ve never watched a baseball game before even 10 minutes of it however this world series [...]

Yahoo it’s fall season again!!! With this season comes new TV episodes. I’ve been dying to watch all the shows that was left hanging at the beginning of summer. Here are the schedule lineups: America’s Next Top Model – same format for the past 14 cycles but it never bores me. New season will start [...]

I grew up watching Asian dramas/movies. First it was Mexican telenovela popularized by Thalia. Then when the Meteor Garden or F4 series exploded in TV and in the Asian culture, my watching preference extended to Taiwanese, then Korean, then Japanese dramas and movies. Lately, I’ve been disappointed that I’m not finding any new, cute or [...]
