Journalize with Nat

well i had to post this here because i got frustrated posting pics on http://teapf.wordpress.com/ aargh the frustration. i couldn't find the bulk uploader on wordpress & when i posted pics invidually-it wouldn't show all..so here are all the other pics that wouldn't post on wordpress.

moving on...
so, i've *smudged* some of my writing in these journal pics for privacy protection (my password notes bcuz i'm THAT forgetful *blush*/other info like addresses n' such)
enjoy my pics. these are some of the few favorite things that'll be treasured forever. :)

quirky comment on shopaholic.

last night i was going through some of my books to trade for other books at another cute ma/pa bookshop i found while strolling through downtown campbell & anyway figured i should trade in all my paperback shopaholic book series. i've just been attached to those books-but it's not like it's hardcover so i should just trade it in for other things i want (like this awesome vintage book copyright 1945) .. so back to topic, i'm flipping through shopaholic ties the knot to see if i've left anything in the book (scribble papernotes/bookmarks/doodles) & i just start rereading a few pages...

this is a completely random thought, but i noticed a little mistake? if i can call it that. so the heroine, rebecca bloomwood, who's originally from england makes a career move to new york. the whole book series starts out taking place inside of england - not new york- so in the page i stumbled upon i noticed one of the newer characters introduced in the 3rd bookstory, who is a new york native (wedding planner receptionist), well basically rebecca wants to call off wedding in new york & have it in london where her family, friends & home are located, so wedding planner receptionist asks why she'd want to call off wedding & asked rebecca, "have you had a row with luke?..." (luke is the fiance)

of course assuming wedding planner receptionist is a new york native, isn't it interesting that she asked if rebecca (becky) bloomwood had a "row" with her fiance.. instead of asking if they had a "fight", "disagreement", or "argument"? i mean we all know the author is based in england, but i just thought it was a funny catch that i didn't even notice the first time reading it back when i did.

on that note, i'm really scared to see the movie version of confessions of a shopaholic. still haven't seen it. i'm afraid the movie will ruin the whole book series for me. i'm really disappointed they didn't stay true to the character. i mean - & i know that often times books turned movies always has some minor changes, editing, additions to make movie more interesting...how could they take away the heart of where the heroine is originally from? it's part of the charm of the entire story?! plus, i heard the main character of that movie has an aussie accent already - she could have easily done a british accent instead of vocal coaching for an american non-accent right?
