We could use some sunshine on these rainy evenings.

The title is taken from  Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope.

 

Rated 93% on rotten tomatoes.
Despite the set being on a snowy ice-cy month of february.

Still has that sunshine kinda feeling to it.
a small background on what this movie is about:

Joel Barish(Jim Carrey), heartbroken that his girlfriend Clementine(Kate Winslet)  underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realizes that he still loves her, and may be too late to correct his mistake. as Joel’s memories progressively disappear, he begins to rediscover their earlier passion.

 Jim carrey, wasn’t really JIM CARREY in this one.  i think both actors portrayed the characters really well.

The soundtrack? one word. Heavenly.
who would have thought a track only lasting 1 minute could have so much emotions and impact.

Kudos to Jon Brian, the composer of most of the tracks on the soundtrack.

 

Like i said, it’s appealing once again.
Like 500 days of summer, it is told from a Guy’s point of view.

Joel: Mierzwiak! Please let me keep this memory, just this one. 

Most of the movie takes place in joel’s mind.
on how he decided he could not bear the thought of having clementine being complete erased from his memories, runs. but in the end having to just succumb it all.

 

Amazing ending i’d say. catch the movie!

 i guess in every good thing, there is always some bad times. Bad times compliments the Good things in what we do, what we see.
you can’t really appreciate something till is gone, out of your hands.

 

———————–

been doing alot of writing lately. 
in the car, waiting in the car, bus stop, during lunches, in between breaks.

 had a chance to take a bus back the other day. sat next to a girl, who looked like she was about to break into tears..

“I wished you smile more.. who stole the fire in your eyes? I guess she lost something as well.
you and i both, we lost it. we lost it. we really lost it, now didn’t we?” 

a total stranger, what could i do?

Wrote a note.
Just before i left the bus, the note landed in her hands.

I din’t see her reaction or anything.

 

“Just hang on, you’ll pull through.”

Something written to myself, i guess she needs it more than i do.

 

The part where we wanna go flying.

Where have the days gone?

 

(129) days.

Spot on, tom. Spot on..

Leaving the theater, Applause mostly from the guys that said “I feel you bro!”
Songs from the movie still lingers on till now. funny how emotions in the movie of tom’s character still lingers as well.

Well done from the script all the way to screenplay and to even how it was shot.

Given that the whole movie was shot basically in Tom’s Point of view. Dude flick. heh!
Half the people(guys) who watched it. Said this.

“Emo, Sad. Relevent.”
Well, spot on again.

Tom: It’s official. I’m in love with Summer.
[while Montage of Summer plays]
Tom: I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love how she licks her lips before she talks. I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. I love it when she sleeps.

But then comes the “You make my dream come true” moments

Days when you go out and high five the heck out of everyone. Spot on.

Expectation vs Reality?

What can i say? Spot on.

Having said all that, i give it a good 8.5/10 rating to this.

She is waiting for him.

waiting for?

…..

hmmm..

to say it.

generally, we are afraid cause it’d most probably mess everything up.
but then again..
I kept quiet as the streets lights pass on the ride home from it all.

just listening to the way you laugh, talking about your day spent, your days ahead.
do you realize how beautiful you are?

 

All these years.

Funny how old photos can just pop out of no where. seriously, it stuns me sometimes but yeah.

just go woah……..

 

Yes. i know. Dancing? yes. i did.

When daniel was half-size.

CF camp. good times. apparently, they follow and learn from the leader. guess who is the leader. 

 

This really made me miss you guys like seriously.

Give two guys a pen and a paper.

93% on rotten tomatoes. thats like super wow.

 

It’s not that simple. – Tom

 

 

Sometimes bombs fall quietly.

someone is dreaming
someone is hoping just that this will be the day

maybe that someone’s me
maybe it’s meant to be 
lovers, strangers
sometimes bombs fall quietly..

..i hope that someone is me..

where did the 2 years went? 

 

—————————————————————————-

 

I’m still praying.

 

I’ll call front and i’ll take the first shot.

Fight

Definition: Strength or disposition for fighting; pugnacity; as, he has a great deal of fight in him. 

 

boys grow up “fighting“, believe or not.
i spent most of my childhood imagining i was in a war, would make solid “guns” out of Lego. 
days hiding the garden, dodging imaginary bullets. having to rescue a damsel in distress. 

Despite having been shot down, you refuse to surrender.
Despite having surrounded by enemies, you keep fighting on. 
you don’t give up. YOU NEVER GIVE UP. 
I can remember so clearly of having friends over at the playground opposite my place, having water-gun battles.

it’s not really a “KiaSu” thing but no one wanted to admit surrender despite being soak over and over again by the water-guns.
i guess it’s because we wanted to stay in the game, we wanted to keep on fighting. 

it all i guess prepared us guys on the road to become fighters. 

 

at the end of it all, you’d stand tall and be the hero. 
i guess “fight” is what make guys, rather guys. 

The Question is now if fight is what make guys, guys. then:

What are we fighting for?

I’ve chose to fight for dreams.

I’ve chose to fight hard.

I’ll fight for you if you want me to. but i’ve chose to do so.

 

fight ¹⁶

Definition: exert oneself continuously, vigorously, engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person;

 

I chose to be that way.

Here am i at the cross roads
Which one should i take?
the wide or the narrow?
the deep or the shallow?

-Daze
FourLetterStory

“i’ve picked the  narrow road, the one which has no comfort and you’re led to just rely. just believe. just trust in what God is doing”

Honestly, i’m scared.
Having to make a decision and having to follow through.
Thats something you can say, it’s really Christ like. You don’t see Jesus just decided to stop going to the cross and say
“hey, you know what it’s just too hard and painful. i’ll turn back now.”

and i’m glad He din’t.

and He handled it well.

But if it takes having to live for that one bigger purpose and willing to just fight for it.

i’ll do it.

so here we go……

—————————————————————————————–

Funny how you can sit across all you ever dream and hope for.

and still fumble on words.
Like how it goes.

“The perfect words never cross my mind and there was nothing in there but you.”
Sounds silly i know.

maybe i am silly. heh.

 

River, washed, we sing.

 ^129-136 Every word you give me is a miracle word— 
      how could I help but obey? 
   Break open your words, let the light shine out, 
      let ordinary people see the meaning. 
   Mouth open and panting, 
      I wanted your commands more than anything. 
 Turn my way, look kindly on me, 
      as you always do to those who personally love you. 
   Steady my steps with your Word of promise 
      so nothing malign gets the better of me.  

-Psalms 199
The Message
