Genovia

It's been awhile from blogging to me. Finally, a short break away from books before the last paper in my UNI life. Got this movie in fushion, 'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement'. A 2004 sequel to 2001's The Princess Diaries. Never know there is a sequel for The Princess Diaries. Now, watched and it was not bad, like the meaning from it though.

GENOVIA, the country in The Princess Diaries. At first I was wondering, is this a real country in this world? Finally, I got the answer after google it. It wasn't a real country, just a fictional place created to the plot of the novel, The Princess Diaries. One of their author, Meg Cabot, made up the country of Genovia, but based it on Monaco.

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway and Christopher Whitelaw Pine were the main actress and actor in the PD2. And the  famous singer who just passed away in last two month, Whitney Elizabeth Houston was their producer. I had a favorite song since from my secondary school, 'When You Believe', a famous song from Whitney and Mariah Carey. Anne Hathaway, she is famous enough in film. But 'Love and Others Drug' was my most love, and then will be coming up with 'One Day'. For Chris Pine, I'm not really well with him, just had watched two of his movies before. But 'Unstoppable' and 'This Means War' was really awesome.

In the PD2, accidentally found that, this song, was one of the soundtrack to the film. 'Breakaway', was recorded by pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson, Walt Disney Records. And it is a 2004 song written by Avril Lavigne. Found it's quite meaningful and it touched my heart with the MV.



Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
