"Peeta-Katniss-Gale -Let the games begin"

"Ride or Die District 12"

"Peeta-Bread, Katniss- Killer OR Gale -Snare Man- the choice is yours"

Well thats all I can think of for right now, but if I think of more, I'll definitely blog about it.

"TEAM PEETA OR TEAM GALE"

The Trilogy "Hunger Games", "Catching Fire", and "Mockingjay". These 3 books just gave me the best read of my life. Well I've only been an avid reader since 2010 and I must say that I'm still going at it, which for me is great! I don't know what I was thinking when I thought that reading was for nerds and a waste of time, what a fool I've been, but I've come to my senses and my senses like READING haha!

Ok, so what Team are you on,,Team Peeta or Team Gale. Some people are like this is not Twilight so there are no teams, but on the contrary, there is a love triangle going on here. Katniss who comes from a mother of medicinal background and her father from hunting skills, while Peeta has a background of Baking and frosting (so cute) and there's Gale background of hunting and making great snares (traps for game).

At this moment, I'm still reading Mockingjay, but I'm totally "TEAM PEETA." I don't know I"m a sucker for the cute underdawgs, who love someone despite the fact they know that the someone is probably already involved with someone or thins that the other person would never love them back. Peeta is just so totally in love and protective over Katniss. He would lose his own life to protect her and he wouldn't know what to do with himself without Katniss in his life..What a guy! I would like a PEETA, if I can't get the whole package then just a piece of him haha!

Gale is a whole different ball game in itself. He's strong, masculine and despises everything about the Capitol. He loves Katniss and she knows this and has the same feelings for him althought when she's with Peeta she gets confused. Theirs started out as a friendship and which clearly elevated to the next level of attraction and amor!! So althought I love PEETA, I still have MAD LOVE for GALE as well.

Katniss ,as in other books I've read where there are love trianges, always gets the 2 hottest guys fighting over her or she's so confusded she ends up loving both of them and spending time with both of them and kissing both of them and holding hands with both of them and UGH its tiring but she gets all the good stuff..haha! Am I jealous, you bet your bottom dollar daddy Warbucks I'm CAPITOL "J" haha!

Who will Katniss choose, is there an option for her? Do they survive the rebellion? Does she stick to her end of the deal and become the Mockingjay? Does she kill President Snow? Does Haymitch and the others survive? Does Peeta die in the hands of the Capitol? Does Peeta, Katniss and Gales family survive through the rebellion? So many questions, it all comes down to one thing...I gotta get the heck off this blog and fricken read to get answers. Oh I know I won't be disappointed..

"COUSINS- ME and MIKE"

My partner in crime, well not really but boy do we like to do the same things, alot in common. We both love music, we love church, we love romantic love movies, we love CHA for TEA, well him more than me, he's addicted ha, we love hangin out and having uplifting conversations, we both love to drive around- well he likes to drive, I like to sit and take in the air, we both love to lounge and watch dvd's all nite, and we both love FOOD..UGH!

We get along well and keep in touch daily, via text, email, phone or quick breas from Singapore Airlines ha~But, we are family and enjoy each others company which is great! When you have those few people you can count on and trust, you need to keep them within arms distance and keep the relationship afloat and stable.

Thank you cousin for driving me everywhere and feeding me and just being there whenever we both need a break from our lives ha~ Patience to endure everything we experience is a necessity and we are both greatful for our families and everything that life has put in our paths. We determine how our lives will be, so live life well and be greatful for life itself, I know I am. Thanks again for all you do and GOD BLESS with all your future endeavors, you deserve the best. Take care and much alofaz cousin...

"GLEE"

So I'm now an offcial GLEEK MEMBER. I know alot of people havebeen asking me if I watch GLEE and I always reply, no time. But, what a fool I've been for so may months. My friends thought that I would be one of the first people to watch it since I love music and sing myself, but NO I had to be a dummy and not watch.

So one weekend I'm at my cousin Mikes house and he plays GLEE and I'm watching and I love it. I love all the music they sing, the choreography is cool too. I love Rachels voice, she can blow~ I love Finn and his issues with Quinn and his cool attitide and he needs to fall in love with Rachel already; F Quinn her and Puck need to figure out what they're gonna do. Kurts voice is very on high tenor, but boy does he play his character to a tee. Artie, I like his voice and he's so blunt and straight forward craks me up. OK, nowthe teacher..Major CRUSH on him big time. He's so HOT in his own way!~I wish I were singing "Endless Love" with him on that episode and he wouldn't have no chance of running around the piano with me..haha! I love his voice and character and he needs to dump his wife Terri, who pretends a pregnancy, just wrong, dump her already! Sue the Cheerio coach, hate her but I guess they need a villain in every tv series UGH!~Mercedes the girl can sing, no doubt about it. THe other characters I'm not too familiar with but as soon as I purchase the first season, I'm sure I will be more familiar with all of their characters.

So my take on GLEE, Love it and highly recommend it to anyone who loves music and a good tv series..New Season starts September 21, 2010. Don't miss it~

"Slow Heat"

This is the second book of Jill Shalvis that I read and I enjoyed reading her books. Her romance novels catch your attention and are realistic with the whole relationships and issues couples face or pretend couples in this case as the book potrtrays Samantha and Wade.

Characters:

Samantha McNead-Heat PR, loves Wade

Wade O'Riley-Heat Catcher, loves Sam

Tag-Sam's nephew

John O'Riley- Wades father

Wade, the Heats star catcher, has helped them win many games and was getting paid a nice sum of money for working hard. Wades bad reputation with woman is costing the public eye to look down on the Heat, besides other bad media attacks they've had in the past. Their sponsors aren't happy with the bad media so the head McNead (Sam's father) and his associates set Samantha to pretend to be Wades girlfriend for a month to settle all the bad news spreading around the media. She reluctantly agrees to pretend to help the team of course and make the sponsors happy. Sam and Wade have history, sharing one passionate night in the elevator when it was stuck for one hour..They had a memorable night that she hasn't been able to live down and is ashamed but had no regrets. Her and Wade have that love-hate thing going on..

Wade goes along with the pretend to be girlfriend and boyfriend facade to make the sponsors happy, but we can clearly see what they are going through and feeling is not pretend, its all REAL! Even though they act like its all pretend and make cute and happy couple faces and kisses in front of the camera, they both know they have feelings for each other. During the whole pretend stage, Sam feels it in her gutt, that she is allowing herself to fall for Wade and bad too. At the same time, he feels the same way, but won't allow himself to accept it and has a hard time expressing himself as do all guys UGH..don't you just hate that..sheesh!

Sam is surprised when her brothers son (Tag) has become her responsibility since Jeremy (her brother) has gone into rehab. She's never taken care of a 10 year old before. She's been devoted to her job and has control of everything. Her young nephew has grown on her and she develops a sweet relationship with him and loves him. The thought of him leaving her in 3 months when his dad is out of rehab has her down, and not knowing where her relationship with Wade is going is even more heart wrenching. She knows she's the pretend girlfriend but things have changed. she loves Wade and she knows how he is, unsettled, always with different ladies and doesn't want to get her heart broken, but its inevitable.

After one month, Wade and Sam didn't have to play pretend girlfriend and boyfriend anymore and her job would be done. But, she didn't want it to end and neither did he. Wade was never clear to her what he wanted and they both admitted that they wanted each other, but Sam knew that he was the easy going guy and was not one for committment. Wade got along well with Tag, seeing himself the way Tag was, a young boy, needing to be loved and reassured that he would not be alone. Wades father who has been a drunk for 30 years, pops into the story nnd tries to make ammends with Wade after all these years. John (Wades father) wants to be a part of his life again and really tries to stop drinking. Wade has a hard time with it, but in the end he helps his father out.

One of the parts I loved was in the end, where Sam and Wade are slow dancing at the charity function and she stops and tells Wade, I don't want to do this. I lied. I can't do this. I can't fake this with you, not even for the team. Wade looked at her and said, I know. I can't either. When I'm with you, I can't fake anything. I've never faked anything. He whispers in her ear, its just us, there is an us. But it was Sam, Wade, John and Tag- they would be together..That was some good stuff.

It took him long enough geez! But, I get it and Sam wasn't the only one falling hard, so was Wade, he just couldn't get it all out and let her know. He wasn't even sure about himself having a committed relationship, but he felt different with Sam, and felt so real and relaxed that he knew she was the one to settle him, and with that, he let himself go and told Sam on a truth or dare that he loved her!

Another good book, by Jill Shalvis..thanks for the good reading..Enjoyed it!

'Double Play"

This was my first time reading a Romance Novel by Jill Shalvis "DOUBLE PLAY." I enjoy sports and being that the focus of her novel was a baseball player, I was able to relate to the game, to the situation and most of all the "Playing hard to get and relationship frustration that the couple shared in this Romance Novel.

Characters are:
Holly Huchinson- Reporter, doing story on The Heat Baseball Team
Pace Martin - Star Pitcher for The Heat
Red- Heat Management
Ty- Relief Pitcher for Pace
Samantha McNead- PR for The Heat

Holly Huchinson is a reporter who digs up Secrets from organizations and exposes them for the betterment of the community and to give readers something good to read. Her last relationship ended on a bad note. She exposed his company and thus the company lost money, was sued and her ex-boyfriend was fired! So there went that relationship. I don't think she was really in love with her ex-boyfriend.

Her new assignment was to travel with "The Heat" baseball team and write about whats going on with them and most of all reveal any uncovered secrets. Her first person to interview the star pitcher PACE MARTIN. He was not a friendly chap at first. He does not like reporters and is just one of those guys, who loves the game and passion of baseball and thats pretty much all he's about. Holly tries her best to get an interview with him, but doesn't get it at the beginning. She has to work her way to getting an interview with Pace and in the meantime, she is getting to know who the real Pace is, off the record and about his personal life.

I love their crazy relationship and Holly finds herself falling for Pace HARD! He is irresistible and she considers herself OK, there is an obvious attraction between the two of them. As time progresses, they do get involved and they both admit that they are attracted to each other. As in all sports, the team really believes in superstition. So Holly finds herself in the shower room with Pace and they share a passionate kiss that awakens every fiber in her body and she's enjoying every minute of it. They are interrupted by the coach, RED, who says not before a game PACE..Too funny..Anyways, so Pace pitched a really great game and now the team is convinced that Pace has to kiss Holly before every game. The GOOD LUCK KISS!

Holly soon finds out, as the reporter, that some team members are using natural plants and powders to get them ready for the games, but they break down into Stimulants which are not allowed. Some inside information is leaked out about "THE HEAT" and because Holly is the reporter, everyone points the finger to her. By this time, she's already in love with Pace and wouldn't do that to him or the team, who have welcomed her with open arms. Pace doesn't believe that its Holly who is leaking out the confidential infomation about the team, but Pace has a difficult time trusting others and Holly. He does let Holly into his life but still has his reserves about her.

Samantha McNead is the Heats PR person and she was one of the first people who befriended Holly when she came on board as the reporter. When Holly gets frustrated with her undecided relationship with Pace, she turns to Sam and they both have a sweet tooth; so they do what comes naturally, they eat brownies and ice cream and discuss Hollys situation. Holly can't help herself, she is in love with Pace whether she admits to it or not. Pace can't get Holly out of his mind. His rotator cup on his shoulder is inflamed and rumors are going around that he might be out for good.

We find out that the relief pitcher TY is taking stimulants and admits to using. So he is under investigation and becuase Holly loves Pace she doesn't reveal who has been supplying Ty with the stimulants because Red (the supplier) has been like a father to Pace and it would kill him if any bad press came upon Red. So Red is able to retire from the HEAT with his dignity intact. Holly because of love, has changed as well. As with her ex-boyfriend she just went for the gusto revealing everything illegal about his company. But, with the heat, she only revealed what needed to be uncoverd and left the other details out of the press. So we see this human change in Holly due to LOVE! SWEET AS...as they say in New Zealand.,

My absolute favorite part in the book was in the end, when Pace from the field mouths to Holly who is in the stands, "I love you", and she says to herself, did he really say that, no couldn't be. Then towards the end of the game he jumps on the fence and yells to her, I'm trying to propose to you, and she says, I don't need a proposal, I only need you...Now that is something else..I loved that part.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading her other book, "Slow Heat." Another good Romance Novel Author I will be looking out for.

"The Playground"

Gary Spatz, "THE PLAYGROUND", school of acting for young actors and actresses. August 15, 2010 was my first time taking my cousin Shannen to her acting class located in Santa Monica, CA and it was a nice place. There were so many kids there with their parents just waiting for their classes to begin. Gary, the owner, gave me and my uncle a tour of the studio; very nice.

The Westfield Outdoor Mall is right next door to the Studio so its an easy peasy little walk out the backdoor and window shopping from then on. My cousin and her husband showed me around as I will be taking my cousin to her classes and I had a great time.

They have a few of my favorite stores: Borders being the one that I know I will probably spend most of my time in reading, Pinkberry, I love the ORIGINAL YOGURT with Mango and Raspberry toppings, and the COACH Store, but I doubt I'll buy anything in there same as Bloomingdales, major window shopping there ha!

Its a different environment and lots and lots of EYE CANDY, we're talkin palagiz, latinos and other origins SWEET!

My other option is to stay in the studio and go in one of the managers office and just read, which I think is probably gonna be what I'll be doing when I don't want to take that little stroll around the mall by myself. It was my first time in the Westfield Mall and I enjoyed the atmosphere and loved the ambiance haha!

So it was a nice experience and look forward to going every week, just to take a breather and a break away from home..

Good luck to my cousin Shannen and her acting classes. Let's hope she gets discovered HOORAY!!

"The Hunger Games"

The Hunger Games, where do I start. First of all, I say how uneasy I was about the whole Hunger Games and how I wasn't happy about the competition to kill each other to survive. That so didn't sit well with me, but never the less because of all the great reviews I read and recommendations to read it, indeed i dove right in and read it. I must add, that I was not disappointed!

Characters:

Katniss Everdeen- District 12 Girl Contestant and good hunter
Peeta Mellark-District 12 Boy Contestant and Bakers son
Gale- Katniss' best friend and companion to hunt
Primrose- Katniss little sister
Rue- District 11 Girl Contestant

This books was great! It took me a little bit to get into the whole storyline, but with some intense focus, I was able to figure out what was going on and was immediately captured by Katniss' skill of providing for her family at such a young age and her great love her younger sister Prim. I instantly fell in love with the family bond I felt between the two sisters (Katniss and Prim).

Gale is 18 or 19 and has been good friend with Katniss from the jump. He was her partner in hunting, learning, helping each other survive by providing game for their families to eat daily, spending everyday together. Before the games, Gale tells Katniss, you know we can run away and live outside of District 12 in the woods. Katniss thinks about it and wonders why Gales says that. She doesn't bother to ask him, but the question lingers in her mind. She loves Gale, but is not sure as a boyfriend or a best friend.

There are 12 Districts and a boy and a girl(24 kids) ranging from ages 12-18 are chosen randomly lottery style to play in the Games. These are no ordinary ames these are the HUNGER GAMES, strictly a game of LIFE SURVIVAL! The winner survives and the rest die trying to live! Prim's name was chosen to participate in the games, but Katniss loving her sister, spoke up and insisted that she go in place of her little sister. This has not been done, a volunteer to play in the games was unheard of for a long time untl Katniss did. Prim was not happy about it, but Katniss knew she would not let her little sister be a part of the blood bath that would await her in the games.

Katniss goes in place of her sister and Peeta Mellark is chosen for the boy to represent District 12. Peeta has noticed everything about Katniss sinc she was 5 years old, but Katniss never knew this until they were struggling to survive in the games. Peeta loved Katniss the first time he saw her at age 5 in school. His feelings are real for Katniss and all along Katniss thinks he's pretending to please the crowd as they all watch the games on live TV. Haymitch (Katniss and Peeta's mentor)tells Katniss she has to pretend to be in love with Peeta so as to please the crowd and get sponsors for the games. She understands and plays into the love scenario. All along Katniss pretends to love Peeta, yet she gets confused at times and poor Peeta not pretending is really in love with Katniss and everything he tells her and admits to is TRUE from the GET GO!

One of my fave characters in the book is RUE from District 11 a young 12 year old girl, small yet clever to get away from her enemies. Katniss and Rue become friends in the Arena where the games are held and Katniss is immediately drawn to RUE because she reminds her of her sister PRIM. They become a team in the arena looking out for each other and when RUE is caught by a net she screams for Katniss and she runs to find her yelling her name. When Katniss sees her, a spear comes flying into the net and hits RUE in the stomache. Katniss shoots her bow in the District 1 boys neck and he instantly dies. This was Katniss' first kill in the games.
Katniss sees Rues wound and she knows that she will soon die. Rue is getting weak and she tells Katniss, "You have to win" and Katniss tells her, " I'm going to. Going to win for both of us now, I promise." Rue tells her to sing a song for her, as Katniss swallows back tears, she sings the song her father use to sing to her when she was young.

In this part of the book, I just lost it, as I am now, as tears flow down my face. I can't help but see Katniss singing to Rue's small, fragile body as she watches and witnesses her last breath of life! How tragic! At this point Katniss is determined to win the games for RUE! Katniss gathers flowers and adorns Rue's body with the flowers sending her off to her death with beautiful flowers. District 11 seeing this send down a gift of a loaf of bread as a generous thank you for Katniss. This has never been done by any District, but District 11 was very thankful that Katniss took the time to send off RUE with love and peace! I lost it at that point as well. Tears coming down my face for the generosity and love that District 11 showed to Katniss.

During the games, Peeta is wounded and hides and camaflauges himself in the mud for 2 to 3 days and Katniss with her killer instincts and survival skills finds him and aids him to survival. He is ever so greatful to her! She does her darndest to help him live with her so she won't be alone or die alone. Their relationship grows and she finds herself so dependent on him, not to help her with the hunting but to sustain her sanity in the games and being with him through the games till the bitter end. She realizes they need each other and their relationship blooms from then on!

Peeta Mellark is my absolute favorite character in the book. I love how he's so sincere about his feelings for Katniss and how he pre-meditates what he's going to do when he gets into the arena to help Katniss. When he confesses that he likes Katniss in the interviews before the games begin, you can already feel that he's not pretending, yet Katniss on the other hand doesn't see it, ugh that girl!

Peeta has saved Katniss one too many times even before the games began. He reminds Katniss that Haymitch said they need to pretend like they're cross over lovers and she can kiss him at anytime to make it look good for the audience watching. They excahnges kisses in the cave, but this kiss was real! Katniss thinks to herself and says, "This is the first kiss that we're both fully aware of neither of us hobbled by sickness or ain or smply unconscious. Our lips neitherburning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another." How can you NOT know that you're falling for someone if you're wanting more kisses in the manner that makes your chest all warm and feeling that swoon moment, oh that Katniss gets to me at moments like this. Poor Peeta!

Peeta tells Katniss everything he remembers about Katniss from the first day of school to events that happened since they were 5 years old. He says ever since that first day he saw her, he's been trying to get up the nerve to talk to her 11 years later and no success, until the games. Katniss tells him, "you have a good memory" and Peeta tells her, "I remember everything about you, you're the one who wasn't paying attention."

This book was remarkable and the whole Hunger Games just took me on a wild run for life, hunger physically and mentally, finding those you can trust, getting rid of those you call enemies and the mere survival of trying to live one more day in the land of Panem. Do Peeta and Katniss end up together after the games? Does she end up with Gale? What does Gale think of Katniss and Peeta in the games exchanging kisses and love for each other? What does Katniss do at home? Are they all friends? So many questions need to be answered, and I'm going to find out! Join me to the next book by Suzanne Collins CATCHING FIRE..I'm ready!

"The First Cousins"

These are my first cousins from Fresno and Vackaville, CA. We all grew up together in good old CALIFOR-NI-A! You know it babee! We have alot of history together and they are like out sisters. I'll let ya'll figure out who are siblings and who are the First COusins, ha shouldn't be that hard, I'll give you a hint look at the volume of the person hehe just kidding I love my siblings to the death.

Through thick and thin we all manage to get along and love to talk about how we all grew up together and just basically had FUN with what we had. We didn't have fancy clothes or toys just made do with what was provided for us back in the day. Love the memories of being together in church, sleep overs and I might add our frst cousins house is the only place where we were allowed to sleep over,family rules! Enjoyed our childhood indeed.

After all these years, we are still close and try to see each other for the holidays. Everyone has their own families except for my older sister and I, still holding on to eternity when that lucky son of a bitc* walks into our lives and takes us away haha! Ne-ways, never the less we are all connected in the circle of family and first cousins love for one another..Gotta love families!

"HUNK OF THE MONTH-AUGUST 2010"

I have no idea who this hunk of a man is but he is my choice for "AUGUST-HUNK OF THE MONTH" I found his picture in my folder mypictures and I know I saved him there for a reason and here he is Mr. AUGUST HOORAY! Umm if any of you know him, please let me know because I have a feeling I'll be posting pictures up of my hUnk of the months and probably won't even know their names like this one UGh! Don't you hate that.

But he is yummy indeed! MR. AUGUST IN ALL HIS GLORY HA!

"The Other Guys"

I went to watch "The Other Guys" on Thursday night, August 5, 20101 the midnite showing. I was excited to watch it because it looked funny and had some good actors playing the lead roles. Marky Mark is what I still call him Will Farrell who is one heck of a funny dude..The movie was ok! I would give it a B. The storyline was funny, and I did get a few laughs but it just felt like it was missing some substance. The Rock and Samuel Jackson were in the beginning of the movie and then like 20 minutes into the movie they died, so that wasn't cool. The plot to solve the case was okay and the humor in it was average.

It turns out that Will Farrel use to be a Pimp back in the days at collegeg and then tries to push that side of his life aside but when things get tough he reverts back to his old Pimp ways to be the tough guy. Marky Mark shoots a famous baseball player in the leg and is transferred to do desk duties with Will Farrel. The two are total opposites, Mark beingt he aggressive on and Will being the book smart one. Together they team up forces to fight crime and eventually solve the case..

I wouldn't recommend this movie on the first midnite opening, I could have waited..But if you want to get in some laughs try it out!

"Something About You"

This is another one of Julie James Romance Novels and just like the other ones I've read totally loved it! I love that she writes about lawyers and attorneys the field of the LAW which Mrs. James is totally accustomed to being that she was a law practicing person.

Characters:
Cameron Lynde- U.S. Attorney
Jack Pallas-FBI Agent

The story line is wonderful and so is the love-hate relationship. Camerons father died in the line of duty on a small routine call which ended up being his fatal and last call. When her father died, she vowed to put away the bad guys, thus determined to do her best at her job. Jack Pallas an excellent agent worked for 2 years to put away the Martino gang and his affiliates as they worked the streets with illegal everything. Jack worked undercover for 2 years and even managed to escape Martino's men when his cover was blown. His case under the direction of his boss Silas was closed. Silas made Cameron go in and tell Jack that the case was closed before she could even explain to Jack he was already furious and yelling and told the press that "he thinks the U.S. Attorney has her head up her as*." And that was the last thing Cameron remembered from Jack. He was then transferred to another state to work, but he didn't know that Silas his boss wanted him thrown out of the force, but it was Cameron who went behind Silas' back and had Jack transferred and not out of a career. All this time Jack thought Cameron was the one who had him transferred for 3 years but if it weren't for her he would have been out of the force.

After 3 years Jack is able to come back home and work. Cameron and Jack before he left had a little attraction for each other but both didn't pursue, instead they became enemies. Cameron decideds to get soem ME time and rents a room at a hotel, but little did she know she was sleeping next door to the room where a murder has taken place, so she is now a key witness, not seeing the murderers face but seeing him from the back. And who shows up to work on the case and has to protect her none othe than Jack Pallas her enemy from 3 years ago...gotta love it.

As time goes on, Pallas has to spend alot of time with Cameron to protect her as she is the main witness, he finds himself staring at her and watching her every move, noticing little things she does and falling for her. At the same rate, Cameron being around Pallas all the time is falling for his rugid, tough guy, excellent agent tactics herself. They are both into each other but won't allow themselves to get caugh up in each other. I love that part of the book where they know they want each other but still yet play it cool and try to resist each other.

I enjoyed this book because of the way they both were trying to do their job yet at the same time they were trying to resist each other. Does Jack Pallas solve the murder case, are they able to defeat all odds and be together? These questions and more can be answered when you read the book. I love Cameron and Jack Pallas as a couple so lets hope they get together..Find out in the book.

Thank you Julie James for another wonderful Romance Novel..

"Sonny with a Chance"

July 18, 2010 finally came and I was waiting to watch the new series of "Sonny with a Chance", from Disney. I really like this Disney show and I like Demi Lovato and Sterling Knight . They are so cute together. From the beginning episodes they were on rival TV Shows, Sonny on "So Random" and Chad on "McKenzie Falls", so cutey and probably because I'm such a fan of the whole "Love-Hate" Relationships.

This episode someone is trying to set up and sabotage Sonny to make her out to be a criminal, character thief, a gold coin thief, an untrustworthy girlfriend and a phony. Someone has cleverly turned Sonny's friends against her and the only one who really believes her is the girl who loves attention and claims she doesn't like Sonny, but she really does, and decides to help Sonny get to Wisconsin in time for her to shoot the cheeseball cannon (an honorable school event), the person is none other than Tawny, Sonnys dressing roommate.

Everything unfolds and we find out that there was a person who has been jealous of Sonny all along and how she loves Chad and will stop at nothing to get him. This person was with Sonny when she went shopping and was arrested for shoplifting, she was with Sonny and heard Chad tell Sonny his secret about fortune cookies, she cleverly took the coin from Nikos shirt pocket and slid it into Sonnys jacket, she left all evidence on Tawny's dresser of all the bad things she did to try and turn everyone against Sonny even the blue print of the Cheeseball Bomb..we find out that this person is none other than Penelope...the actress who plays in sketches with Chad..she hijacks AIR CHAD's plane with the cast of "So Random" with Chad on the plane and tells Chad to go away with her and they can live together forever and that she loves Chad, but Chad chooses Sonny..Penelope leaves the plane with the only 2 parachutes and jumps off.

Ne-ways, long story short, Sonny gets to the school event in time to shoot the cheeseball through the canon, but the crew from "So Random" realizes that Sonny will be setting off the real cheeseball bomb..they rush over and Sonny has already lit the canon, Chad runs on the stage to push Sonny away from the canon and Zora stops the lite from igniting the bomb. Tawny gets in front of Sicky Vicky (the character that Sonny made up, but was accused of stealing) and rips the mask off of her face and we see Penelope underneath the disguise..Tawny knew it was Penelope because of her comfortable Pilot shoes haha too funny!

So in the end, they catch Penelope, Chad saves Sonny, the crew told Sonny she's back on the "So Random" show because she was kicked off due to all the drama Penelope raised trying to sabotage Sonny, the media was involved. Tawny gets her 3 minutes on camera, NIko and Grady realize Sonny is not a thief and Zora realizes she is not a good Sherlock Holmes haha! So that was that until the next new episode.
Gotta love me some "Sonny with a Chance"

Just wanted to give a shout out to the girls..Much alofaz amigas por vida!

"Nothing But Trouble"

This was my very first time reading a Rachel Gibson Romance Novel and I loved it! I'm looking forward to reading other books by this author. Her book reminded me of Julie James' books, although Mrs. James books are centered around the characters in the line of duty of LAW, which is great!

"Nothing But Trouble" was a joy to read! This book really had me on my toes and anxious to see how it was going to play out and end. Of course, my favorite endings are "happily ever after", but for some reason towards the ending of the book, I was beginning to think that things weren't going to be as happy as I imagined. Hence, the reading went by even quicker for me ha!

Characters:
Chelsea Ross- actress, Personal Assistant to Mark Bressler
Mark Bressler- professional hockey player for Chinook, injured in car accident and ended his career
Bo- Chelsea's twin, PR for Chinooks Hockey Team
Jules-Assistant to Chinooks Owner, Bo's man

Chelsea is the main character and I loved her bubbley personality and outgoing whit. She wore bright colored clothes, mostly loose blouses due to her bustline and mini-skirts; she is a short girl 5"1". She is an aspiring actress from L.A. and moves in with her sister in Washington to look for employment while she waits for gigs in acting. Her sister Bo tells her there is an opening to be a Home Health Aide for Mark Bressler, famous but injured Professional Hockey player. Chelsea is no nurse, but she has been a personal assistant for years in Hollywood, so she's accustomed to working for celebrities. She sets off to Marks house the day before she actually is hired to start to meet him and when she introduces herself to him, he is very short with her, rude and tries to persuade her to leave that he doesn't need a nurse..Prior to her meeting Mark, the Chinooks organization tells Chelsea that there is a $10,000 BONUS if she can stay with him for at least 3 months as his track record with Home care nurses is less than a week. She was determined needing and wanting that money badly. They start off bad, but because Chelsea has a peppy attitude and really needs the bonus money she is determined to stay even if he is a jerk-face with alot of money, handsome, an awesome body and angry attitude always; just a mad at the world guy!

Mark is a very unpleasant client and in a sense I don't blame him for feeling the way that he does. I mean come on, the guy was the top hockey player and got into a bad car accident and was lucky to be alive! He understands he survived the accident, but what was worse, surviving the accident, or surviving and not being able to play hockey for the rest of his life? He was divorced, his wife wanted more money and social status, so she married an old man with more money to get her things and get into country clubs, what a joke, but unfortunately there are women like that, so sad! Mark wasn't a nice guy due to one day having everything in the world, to one day waking up and everything is gone from him, everything he loved the game of hockey and his never satisfied wife which he was divorced from for over a year and was over her, no hurt there!

Chelsea begins to work with him, setting up appointments, and not taking no for an answer, she stands up to him and makes him do things that he usually wouldn't do like get up out of bed at times. In a short period of time like a week, he's already having fantasies of Chelsea which is something he hasn't had in a long time. They both start noticing each other and are easily attracted to one another although each one tries to deny and fight the feelings.

She falls in love with Mark Bressler and they have a great time together, but in the back of her mind she knows she needs to tell him about the $10,000 Bonus they offered her at the beginning of her assignment. The day she was planning to tell Mark that she wasn't really interested in the money because she wanted to stay of her own will because well she fell in love with him it was too late! Mark had an appointment with the Chinook Organization and they told him about Chelsea's Bonus! He was furios filled with anger and couldn't wait to get home to let her have it. They argued and she tried to explain to him that yes at first she was doing the job for the $10,000 Bonus but after working for him everything changed because she loved him, actually fell in love with him which she was trying to stop but couldn't help herself,. In her whole career as a personal assistant she never mixed her professional life with her social life and with Mark it was different. She had it bad and told him she loved him! He laughed in her face and told her she was lying and stop acting. She told him "you made me love you even when I knew it was a really bad idea. You made me love everything about you. You made me love you more than I've ever loved anyone in my whole life." That was no act! She really loved Mark and he was standing before her making a mockery of her sincere feelings towards him! Man, I hated Mark at that point in the book UGH! She never pleaded with any other man and said, "I love you." "Mark looked into her eyes and pounded the last nail into her heart, " I don't love you." Aww. man was that good stuff or what...I was crying during that part in the book. I mean BLIMEY, the woman is pouring her heart out to him and he just sits there and doesn't even care! I don't know if I would go to the extreme as Chelsea did, but he was roughten. Granted he was hurt, but he should have known that she was not acting, it was the real deal..
I lost hope in the relationship at that point. She was miserable for days...The story gets even better but lets just say you have to read it to find out how it ends.

I really enjoyed this book. I was really emotional and I could see how Chelsea was so distraught as Mark Bressler tore her heart apart! Then I sit back and think, are these relationships worth it? Does having your heart ripped and torn to pieces really make the next relationship better or have you learn something from it? I felt for Chelsea and shed some tears of sisterhood with her..

Thank you for the great Romance NovelRachel Gibson. I will definitelty read your other ones...A real roller coaster of emotions, gotta love it!
