book review!~

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan

this was a book assigned by our english teacher for our book report on the first semester..
at first I didn't really want to read it (since he.. er, compared it to twilight, and I've never really been a fan of the series), but I thought, hey. He's going to force us to read this anyway, why not get it over with?
So I bought the book last sunday afternoon and finished reading the same night. x3
It was actually really good, I mean, maybe it's that I sort of understand the daughters' perspective. Their moms were born in china, and they were born in the US, and they had their different opinions and different experiences.
I sort of related to this, 'cause like everyone else, most times my mom and I aren't on the same wavelength at all, and.. yeah.

I guess that's it for now, I just remembered I still have to do some research for our performance tasks and stuff. x3

where the hay did 'la belle erreur' come from!?

Well, this started around early april this year. I was getting tired of changing my blog name all the time, so I was trying to think up a new one that I could stick with. Anyway, I hit a big brainblock so I started flipping channels on the tv, and saw a pretty interesting show. I think it was army wives? I don't really remember. Anyway, The woman was talking to another person about getting a tattoo, and she showed the character she was getting (it was chinese, I think..) When she was asked what it meant, she said that it meant "beautiful mistake". I started watching pretty closely at around this time and was more drawn in by the character's explanation. She said that mistakes were just as beautiful as getting things right, 'cause even if you make mistakes, you learn to pick yourself up and learn more about life. Or something like that. Well, I was seriously hit. I loved it. And so, La Belle Erreur was born. (La Belle Erreur is in french, and it translates into 'A Beautiful Mistake'. Also, I like it 'cause my second name is Belle, So sometimes I like to refer to it as 'my mistake'. hehe.)
