AN: Again, I’d like to thank M (Season4.5), for beta-ing this for me. And to all the reviews, thanks so much. They're awesome. Here's the next installment. Hope you all enjoy this one.

Joe Wright's screen adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was just exquisite. I agree that the 1995 BBC Miniseries is the best, but this turned out to be really good! For some reason I like this version better. Maybe it's because it's not so...stiff unlike the 1995 version. This was more fun, lighthearted, and the characters more dynamic. I think the writers and the director didn't follow the book word per word, scene by scene. It's different but still purely Austen.

At the beginning, I was adamant about watching this because Keira Knightley wasn't the actress that I would like to portray Elizabeth Darcy. I didn't think she could pull it off, but I was surprised. She was passionate, her mouth spewing witty remarks, comebacks, and insults. And Matthew McFadyen played Mr. Darcy really well. He might not be as dashing and as arrogant as Colin Firth Darcy, but he portrayed Darcy as shy and awkward which he covered with his pride. He's more vulnerable and boyish. Donald Sutherland as the wry Mr. Bennet and Brenda Blethlyn added color to this movie.

And there was definitly one thing that this 2005 movie version has that the 1995 miniseries version didn't. While there Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth did play their charcters well, they lacked the chmistry thwas present between Keira Knightley and Matthew McFadyen. And this was translated to the sexual tension between the characters. There was this instant attraction between Elizabeth and Darcy when they first saw each other at the ball. And everytime they were in the same room, there were sparks that were just about to ignite. And ignite it did when Darcy first insulted Lizzy and then proposed to her. And in this same scene, Darcy's face drifted closer to Lizzy's as if he was going to kiss her. Lizzy was not at all unaffected as her eyes watches him intensely...I thought her gaze even lowered to his mouth.

But it wasn't just the two major characters that had chemistry. Everyone did. All of them seem to jive, Lizzy with Jane, the Bennets, Bingley and Jane, and even Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine de Bourg.

This movie is brilliant! I really loved this. A blend of comedy, romance. It was also subtly sexy with disheveled Darcy walking towards Elizabeth, who was in her nighgown or night clothes. Matthew McFadyen made me swoon with his awkward and nervous proposals especially with the, "You have bewtiched me body and soul and I love...I love...I love you."

Finally, I was able to write something after...how many months. Yay!

( Prologue: Extra Chocolate Frosting )

It was a feel good movie...happy happy, fun fun. Although there were times it made me cringe such as the "I love you" between Kostos and Lena. They love each other? They've known each other for how long? A week? But, oh well, it's a movie. It's so much more fun like that. How come the characters' lives are much more interesting? Such as Lena going to Greece and meeting this Greek boy. I'm so jealous! I want to go to Greece! Cay and I were like, "Waaahhh Greece! Let's go to Greece! Mykonos! So beautiful!"

 I like all of their stories except for Lena's. Her story is so...blah, like there isn't a real conflict. She looked silly standing there at the water's edge and crying. What is the problem?!? What is crying for? And once she jumped, here comes Kostos! He takes off his shirt and dives after her...and they look at each other. A lot of cheese factor there! Carmen's story made me a little teary, and Tibby's was touching. Bridget's was ok, but I love how hers ended. The guy was so sweet, went all the way to her place just to tell her that he was responsible for what happened. Awww...He's not that good-looking but he'll do. I want my own Eric!



Alexis Bledel as usual was so pretty, but Blake Lively's hot! Man, I want her body! I should start going to the gym! And I miss playing football! I want to play! It's just hard to recruit my old teammates and play.

How come it always feels as though weekends are so short? I mean it's not enough that we're given two-day breaks while we work for five days! And as usual I'm dreading goint to work tomorrow. When will it stop? When will I stop feeling anxious, frustrated, and unmotivated? :sigh: I just need something to look forward to this week, and I don't know if I'm exited or indifferent about going to Iligan this Thursday and Friday. And next week I'll be in Naga for the Penafrancia festival. But I had fun this weekend.

I'd say it was...productive, or at least I was able to do a lot of things. I went to my laser light therapy in the morning last Saturday and in the evening I met up with Cay to "discuss" Pilar's shower party. But we actually didn't end up doing that. Sure we just set and date and said that we'll start informing people. And after that we just went to watch "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants". And on Sunday I went shopping in Greenhills! Hay...so many things to buy, so little --or rather--limited budget! But it was fun!

Gawds! Work's driving me crazy! I have so much to do and so little time! If only I could divide myself and do everything at the same time. Even on weekends, when I'm supposed to be relaxing, I'm still thinking and worrying about work! And in my sleep, I even dream about it! Argh! So this is what grown ups think and worry about...and damn! I'm starting to be like them! Oh please! I want tp worry about stuff but I don't want it to be like this for the rest of my life!
