Safe Haven

Watching and Reading Safe Haven

          Last February 9, I bought a book titled "Safe Haven" by Nicholas Sparks. At first, I thought it's another story of ordinary romance. You know, the boy likes the girl, the girl likes the boy, they have relationship, there's a love triangle, something like that. But for me, it's another love story that shows that you can trust and love again even if there's something bad happen in your past.

          In the book, you can see that in the beginning, Katie (heroin), struggles because she has a lot of problems. You can see that she is shy because of her past that haunts her. So, you'll easily capture the story because of what's happening on Katie. And Alex (hero), always notice Katie because she's pretty and she's a daily costumer on his shop. And every time that Katie and Alex talk to each other, they feel uneasy. So, it's a bit exciting because on what they feel.

          Last February 14, me and my sister decided to watch the movie. Well, it turns out that some of the parts changed. Like the hair color of the hero heroin, how they fall in love, and how they solve the problem.
       
          In the movie, you'll see that Katie is running from something. And it will make you curios because of it. Then, Katie ride on a bus and she transfer on small town named Southport. Well, at first, she has a hard time to look for a job and a place where she'll stay but luckily, she was hired and she bought a house in the end of the road which is surrounded by pine trees. While Alex, has a hard time taking care of his kids, Lexie (which is suppose to be Kristen because it's her name in the book) and Josh, because their mother died and Josh has a bit of hatred towards him. And whenever Katie goes to the store of Alex, he always tried to open a conversation between them and in the end, they started dating. Of course, there's a problem that they encounter but still, they overcome it and their relationship became stronger.

         Anyways, I was a bit happy because the name Katie is my another name or nickname (Haha!).

        And Julianne Hough , a two-time professional champion of Dancing With The Stars, plays the role of Katie. And Josh Duhamel, star of Transformer and When In Rome, plays the role of Alex and which is my another Hollywood crush. It's cute because they're suitable with each other but sadly, Josh is already married and Julianne has a relationship with Ryan Seacrest, the host of E! and American Idol.

         And, I have a list of the soundtracks of the movie (which I downloaded because I bacame addicted to the story). They are:

• We Both Know – Colbie Caillat featuring Gavin DeGraw
• Say Anything – Tristan Prettyman
• Keep Your Head Up – Ben Howard
• Summer Child – Dar Williams
• Sleepy Little Town – The White Buffalo
• Wrap Your Arms Around Me – Gareth Dunlop
• Moonshine – Sara Haze
• The Journey – FM Radio
• Heart’s Content (Strings Mix) – Brandi Carlile
• Violin – Amos Lee
• My Baby’s Got To Pay The Rent – The Deep Dark Woods
• Conoeing (Katie and Alex’s Theme) – Deborah Lurie

             All of these songs, always reminds of the movie. I even planned to watch it again but I decided not to because I'm saving for another movie (Beautiful Creatures) and a book (Rapture). But I'm planning to buy the DVD of this movie if it's available.

             So, that's it! Hahaha!!! =D
