Vangie and I bonded over Mona Lisa Smile, beauty shopping,
pasta and ice tea. I missed hanging out with her. She has a
very refreshing way of looking at things, she blurts out a
few funny things that are marked forever, says things
frankly and matter-of-factly and she's just plain good ol'
girlfriend hanging out kind of person.

Mona Lisa Smile is a chick flick but nice. I liked the
ideals presented and I like the part where the person who
hated her at first was the person who was affected most by
the teacher. I've always wanted to teach and being a
teacher and making a difference someday has always inspired
me to slowly pursue this dream. This film affirmed this.
However, I believe I have been shown focus by God, that is
to take special attention on the less priviledged... maybe
hearing impaired, people with spasmic problems, etc.

One of the things I always see in a film is the fashion. I
talked to Jja regarding the fashion in the film. I enjoy
talking about fashion with Jja, maybe because she's taking
up the course and I'm a frustrated designer. =) I also like
the fact that she understands my sentiments over fashion.
She's very young yet when we talk to each other, I know
she's mature enough to relate to what I'm saying even
outside the topic of fashion. Though sometimes she
surprises me with her moods, generally she's a nice person
who has a lot of ideals and lots of potential as an artist,
a friend, a girl friend, fashion designer and more...
