February. Valentines Day. Birthdays. Foundation weeks. Prom.

This month has always been a busy month for me. Movie dates, lunch outs and concerts.

As promised, I’ve watched The Vow (my 2012 valentine movie).. and I have mixed opinions about it. The storyline is really good, but I can’t help feeling a little cheated at the end. I wanted Paige to remember Leo.. or somehow remember him (just to avoid the cliche ender), and feel guilty for all that she has done to him. I wanted her to hurt too.. I feel that Leo suffered too much and she didn’t love him enough or atleast showed it enough. But anyway.. she’s Rachel and he’s Channing.. they have always been my favorites.. so I could never hate this movie after all. Haha :)

Happy Birthdays. Belated happy birthday shouts to Hannah Banal, Jen Gonzales, Cogie Dieta, Martha Garcia, Jeff Chan, James Yap, Ynah De Paz and Jonathan Banal. Sorry for not buying gifts this year.. hahaha :)

—FEBRUARY ♥—

Great love and tragedy come hand in hand. All great love ends tragically, because no one can live forever. -Nicholas Sparks

That day was really tiring.. I arrived at The Podium around 11 in the morning, and found a very long line. I lined up, and eventually had my chance on the draw lots.

I was unlucky. I’ve picked “sorry” from the box.. But I believe that if you didn’t get it the first time, you should just try again.. so I did try again and finally got a printed “YES”!! :) My number though was a little letdown.. hahaha.

Here’s a view of the stage :)

And here is Nicholas Sparks with the lucky host.

See here, how many people came just to have his autograph.

That shot was taken from the 3nd floor.. I stayed there while waiting for my turn. Gaaaad, I’m 904th! Sparks signed up 1000+ books and that is just awesome! :) Hahaha.

I sat on the 3rd floor, and stared at him for 4 hours! I’m shocked that I’m not inlove with him yet. hahahaha.

For those who do not know Nicholas Sparks, here is a brief background. He’s the author behind the bestselling novels, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. These novels together with Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and The Last Song, were made into films and naturally made Sparks more popular.

A lot of fans may have loved him for his A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, or his Message in a Bottle.. but The Wedding actually did it for me. I haven’t read The Lucky One yet, but I plan to read it before it shows on movie theaters this 2012.

Here’s my photo with him,

and here’s the signed book

I even got a marker souveneir! :)
