P.S I Love You

I watched this movie again, for the second time. And still, nangis kat part yang sama. I've read the novel first, so masa baca pun dah nangis apatah lagi tengok ceritanya. Jalan cerita novel & movie ada sikit perbezaan, so for P.S I Love You, I love both the novel & movie.

First time tengok movie nie, I went to the cinema with my best friend, Sabrina. Almost everyone watching this movie cried, especially masa part Holly called Gerry's phone number, just to hear his voice (voice mail). Sabrina told me she did the same thing when she lost her brother, the only younger bro for her. Well, banyak lagi parts yang boleh menyebabkan penonton menitiskan air mata. So, I would recommend everyone to watch this movie. I managed to make my hubby watched this movie too (mana dia layan romance movies, sebab tue masa nak tengok movie nie kat cinema dia bagi I pergi dengan Sabrina)....


I got the novel - with this cover....


The movie's cover....Ok, the review provided below is taken from wikipedia.

Plot summary

Set in Ireland, Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry, so it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of 10 letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The messages are Gerry's way of informing Holly life goes on. The messages include various tasks and treats Gerry has left for Holly. This is his way of letting her know he will always be there for her. Each letter sends her on a new adventure and each signs off in the same way: "P.S. I Love You." Holly's mother and best friends, Sharon and Denise, begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into new beginning for life.

Differences Between Novel & Film Adaptation

The most major difference between the novel and its film adaptation is that in the novel, main characters Holly and Gerry Kennedy are both Irish, while in the film, only Gerry is Irish and the two live in New York. Also in the novel, Holly has numerous siblings, but in the film she has one. In the film, Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays William, a character who does not exist in the book. However, the film remains fairly true to the novel, and all of Gerry's letters are virtually unchanged.

Hey there, I loved this movie, Gerry is such a hottie and the idea behind it is so sweet! If you ever wanted to do it for real, I found an awesome site called www.farawayfish.com, where you can store a profile all about your life, and even save emails to be sent out to your loved ones after you've passed away. So romantic!

Makin becok minah tu, banyak karenah dan ragam yang menghiburkan kami ;-D Kerja masih macam biasa, sekarang takde admin post so boleh fokus on self development sebenarnya. Masih merangkak-rangkak dalam dunia akademik yang mencabar ni. Doa - doakan yer . Hubby? Masih macam tu, makin kurus kot sebab dia jaga badan.

June 2011 - an UPDATE

Bulan nie, memang students cuti tapi kami tak. So bersusun jadual penuh dengan meeting, bengkel, seminar dan sebagainya, pulun nak penuhkan 7 hari berkursus = 42 jam untuk CPD. If semester tengah berlangsung, susah sikit sebab kena attend lectures & tutorials. Target semester break nie adalah menghadiri seminar yang free, anywhere yang berdekatan & berkaitan, hehehe.... Apa plan weekend nie? Well, I will have a long weekend since amik cuti extra (of course tolak cuti tahunan). Baru setengah tahun, cuti pun dah banyak habis. Nak kena simpan untuk raya + konvo gak. Tapi masa semester berlangsung, bukan senang nak amik cuti. Buat plak kelas sepanjang minggu, confirm takleh apply cuti. If hari takde kelas jer baru boleh cuti. So masa semester break nie pulun la amik cuti. Long weekend nak pi mana? Hehehe, apa lagi, balik Kulim la. Masih belum berkesempatan tengok anak buah yang baru, Muhammad Naufal. Then ada wedding cousin, so alang-alang balik sana dapat gak makan nasik minyak. P

Doaku Untukmu Sayang - Wali Band

Selalu baca blog Ain, asyik dengar lagu yang sedap tu. So carilah liriknya....Counting days to 8 years this coming 5th May 2013 - this song is for you sayang , Endz Sophian. Kau mau apa, pasti kan kuberi Kau minta apa, akan kuturuti Walau harus aku terlelah dan letih Ini demi kamu sayang Aku tak akan berhenti Menemani dan menyayangimu Hingga matahari tak terbit lagi Bahkan bila aku mati Ku kan berdoa pada Ilahi Tuk satukan kami di surga nanti Tahukah kamu apa yang kupinta Di setiap doa sepanjang hariku Tuhan tolong aku, tolong jaga dia Tuhan aku sayang dia Tuhan tolong aku, juga jaga dia Tuhan ku pun sayang dia I love you so much.....
