my fave movie

May 7, 2008

 

 

I just can’t get over this movie. I love the characters considering that Julia Robert stars the film and Cameron Diaz is also one of the lead roles. I have watched this film for the nth time, infact I have almost memorize the lines. I even bought the OST album of My Best Friend’s Wedding.

I still can remember the first time I’ve watched this flick. I’ve seen this by my self, I can’t drag along anyone with me because during that time they were up to doing something else. So, I decided to watch it on my own. And being alone was all worth it.

It’s a story of regret, for Jule’s side. She should’ve learned how she felt earlier. She should’ve hugged Michael when she could. She should’ve told Michael how she felt. But it’s too late for her to confess because he’s going to get married and has fallen for someone else. All she is now is the "pus that feeds the fungus." But Michael was thankful about how she felt towards him. However, all he can feel towards his bestfriend, Jules, was nothing more than friendship.  

This is an example of a story of regret. How one was given the opportunity but was not utilized. A story of wasted chance. But despite the obvious remorse that the movie has shown, it has awaken the minds of its viewers to take chances and to strike the iron while its hot.

I am not so mushy, but it got the mushiness out of me. How I so loathed Cameron for fighting her love for Michael. But thanks to George, whose gender is dubious, he at least lessen the resentment that Jules felt because he may have opened some posibilities.

Thumbs up for this MOVIE!

what can you live without?

May 5, 2008

 

For us to pursue our day to day life, we have our little treasures that we can’t live without, things that we must have in order to carry out our tasks, things that makes us who we are and things that are stuck to us.

 

As for me, the most valuable thing that I can’t live without is my glasses. I am myopic or near-sighted (in lay man’s term), without my glasses everything are mere speck of a blur. I can’t identify objects or persons 30m beyond me. Sadly, I am often mistaken to as a snob. How can I be a snob? I’m never a snob. It’s just that I have a visual problem and I have to get closer to you in order to identify you. It’s that bad. I’ve sworn to have my eyes lasered when I get abroad. I envy those who have 20/20 vision; they don’t need to be tangled up with this nerdy item just for them to visualize things. Glasses are truly a fashion NO-NO, but as for me, it’s either I’d succumb into the trend or suck up to my eye impairment in order to see. I’m caught from choosing to be fashionably blind or a geek with vision. It’s not big of a problem. After all it won’t cause another world war whatever number, to happen. It’s no biggy, it’s just a matter of me choosing luxury over necessity or necessity over luxury.  

 

A number of people tend to or most often unknowingly disregard the value of their sight. Most often they try to strain it by reading in the dark or while they are on the road. How can they stand that? I have done that before and it made me regretful.

 

When I was in my preschool years, I really wanted to have eyeglasses, because during that time, I thought having one would make every one assume that I am smart. I’ve done everything for me to have one, until I really had one, not because I just want to sport it for me to look smart, but because I need it because things became blurry. At first it was gratifying, because I am spared from all of the excuses I have to make for me to own an eyeglass. But later on, I’ve learned about stuffs like geek, nerd, drip and bore. And these words are all related to having glasses. Slowly, my fondness for my precious eyeglasses became a dislike then eventually turned into bête-noir. It was a horror! I’d really like to be detached from this spell but unfortunately I can’t. Cautions like, “be careful on what you wish for,” are indeed factual. I should’ve yearned for something better. Anyway, thanks to contact lenses, I still can get away from being a fashion dupe. But contact lenses can’t bring you further than an eyeglass can. Wearing contact lenses is tedious; you have to have at least a 15-minute ritual before you can wear one. Aside from that, you can’t stare anyone on the eye for a longer period because your contacts will dry up. Also, you can’t face a windy spot, or else it will be blown away with it. So having contact lenses will just materialize for a short period, after that I would need to have my glasses on.

 

On the contrary, I am not whining about having an eye glasses on. In fact, I am grateful to the person who was able to invent this wondrous item, without it, I would’ve remained with in the restrictions of my visual capacity, which is not much. So don’t you dare say that I am a snob, I just have to wear my “spectacles” on so that I can merely decipher you.
