What happens while the candle is sixteen

This will be my last post in 2009. Thanks for sticking with me through thick and thin. Happy new year everyone.

The hardest part is taking part...

Friends moving out overseas. Three most notable members of the family funerals, one amazing friend died. Well, they say the brightest star burns the fastest....

Just Because It's Christmas....

Love Actually, 2001, Mark & Juliet

People say Love Actually is a seasonal love story that people just kind of looked back and see for the Christmas love spirit. I personally think this is one of the best movies in my life ever and I don't just watch it in Christmas (I don't celebrate Christmas, for the record) And this scene above, is the best of all. Love Actually's popularity in IMDB is up over 107% during this Christmas!

 Claire Colburn: So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling.

The End of A Decade

How would you describe this decade? You know, like, they gave 90s grunge, 80s disco and blah blah... What do you call this 2000s?

I call this the Gossip Girl era

(sorry, it's just that, I'm in high school, where everyone watch the show and... act like the fictional characters. it's just that they are for real) 

And John Remains Dead

It will be released internationally this Christmas but I think we have to seriously wait, since it's not a commercial movie. Some parts of the story is "hollywoodised", because of course, John didn't live a life that most people would understand. Been waiting for it so bad.

I forgot what it feels like to cry in the middle of the night over some boys whose heads are bigger than their hearts. I forgot what it feels like to fall for somebody. I forgot how hurt it feels to fall for the wrong person. Thanks to you, you're the last.(I'm sorry, I'm just really upset)

Yesterday was exactly 29 years since John' death. I love John. I wasn't even born yet but we still crave for someone like him until now. My dad made me love them so much. Yesterday he picked me up and we sang Beatles songs together like karaoke in the car :3 I tweeted Sean and Yoko (Yoko has been following my Twitter, for the record. So much loveee!)

We love you, John. Truly.

Chaises Volantes

One of these days you're gonna feel so empty.

Empty.

But don't worry you just have to free yourself.

So go ahead,

fly,

get high

we're young

save the serious stuffs for later.

Old Friends Fear

I had just been tagged on Facebook picture which is an invitation to an elementary school reunion.

I was sort of WHAT THE HECK?! 

I mean, look, I love meeting people. I don't really pick kinds of people who I'd be friends with because I'm generally willing to know everyone, BUT, maybe..... not in this kind of circumstances.

You see, I haven't been in touch with ALL of them (except three, but, 3 among 80 people? let's just say none) and I haven't seen them since, like, the last day of elementary school which has been nearly 6 years ago. Of course, I browsed through their Facebooks and I was impressed how... all grown up. If it wasn't because of Facebook and they put names on it and those who I actually know tagged them along on that invitation, there's no way I'm gonna recognise them. I know it's so mean because most of them still remembers me, but, hello?? My face didn't change a thing and even people whom the last time I met was when I was 4 would remember me, it's not that hard, but them?? 

And one thing worse is that I feel like so far from them, like, if people don't really learn our history, nobody would believe that we were friends. I'm not saying like, "Oh my God I'm so cool right now, we're so different, blahblah..." but it's true. They've been in the very same circle all this time, they haven't lost that connection and they would still know what to talk about. But me? Okay, we might still speak the same language but maybe, well just maybe, in different dialects (HAHA). This is mean, and this is rude, but I'm actually just scared. I'd really love to see them again and gathered up in the same room but I also don't wanna be the only one who's not talking to anyone as if I was in the wrong party! Have you been in any parties like that?? It's so darn pathetic.
