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
