Transient Dreams

Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

Transient Dreams

glimpses of life… silence and chaos; laughter and tears…

Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.

Bittersweet

I updated the Blog Cast. I just checked the MH Archives and the links don’t work. It’s probably just a permissions issue. I’ll have to check the .htaccess.

My sister and I ended up watching Autumn in New York. I’ve seen it a couple of times before but never all the way through.

Will: “You look at me in a way that I haven’t quite earned.”
Charlotte: “So earn it!”

So I like romantic dramas/comedies, chick flicks as you might call them… But love makes life so much more worthwhile, doesn’t it? I seriously dislike those people who pretend that they only watch ‘thought-provoking’ films. I like watching no-brainers every once in a while. It’s called de-stressing. Besides, I think this movie is far from cheesy.

Charlotte: “There’s no lie I would rather hear than the truth.”

It’s a lovely movie. But towards the end, I kept thinking about whether or not they would still be that happy if Charlotte wasn’t so sick. People always appreciate what they have more when they know they’re going to lose it eventually. I know because I’ve been in that situation before. I know what it’s like to have a time limit imposed on your happiness. You feel the immense pressure of having to make every moment count because you don’t know if you’re ever going to have the opportunity to feel that way again.

Charlotte: “What have I done to you?”
Will: “You ruined me for other women.”
Charlotte: “I saved you for them.”

My favorite part in the movie? Hmmn… It would have to be the watch. Bittersweet.

And as for my own experiences…

I realized now more than ever that things change. Maybe the world really does evolve the way a person does. (Before Sunset, 2004) I read a few of my blog entries from two years back and I don’t feel the same way I did then. But I know that at that time, the feelings I had for the person I was with were real. I wrote, “when we’re near each other, time seems to stop.” But isn’t that how we always feel when we love someone so much? Like the two of you are the only people in the world? I miss that feeling. But that doesn’t mean that I want to be with that person again. “If one of us finally finds someone else, would both of us be able to bear it?” — there’s someone in my life right now whom I think I could really love. I told him about it and he’s hurting but I know he’ll get over it soon enough. I just didn’t want him to find out from someone else although I’ve only talked about it with Puff. He needs to let me go; a clean break.

Before Sunset (2004)
Jesse: “Life’s hard. It’s supposed to be. If we didn’t suffer, we’d never learn anything.”

I actually thought I’d feel bad about liking someone else but I really don’t. I really have moved on. I’m happy.

Hmm, I’ve never watched Autumn in New York before. I’ve never heard of it either. So maybe I’ll watch it one of these days. Hehe, I LOVE “chick flicks” also! =P

Hehe, I LOVE Before Sunset! Hehe.

Anyways, I know what you mean about the feelings for some guys… LOL, I’ve had feelings like that before, where you don’t feel the same way now as you did then.

But yeah, that’s awesome that you’ve moved on and that you’re happy! =) It’s a good feeling to move onto something that “hurts” you on the inside, although it’ll always be a part of you. LOL…

yeah i know! I’ve watched the movie twice & I still get watery-eyed on some of the scenes.
Amanda | March 10th, 2008 at 12:51:36 pm

I definitely agree with you. Some days I just want a movie that is a no-brainer.
Destiny | March 11th, 2008 at 12:45:18 am

You make me want to watch this movie now! It sounsd really good!
I’m a chick flick kinda person as well!
Cari | March 11th, 2008 at 4:07:21 am

I’ve never heard of the movie, but chick flicks are my kind of movies! I really do love them, despite how meaningless some people say they are.

It’s good you’ve moved on, it’s something that some people have a hard time trying to get over.

I don’t pretend to only watch thought-provoking movies; I love comedies, but chick flicks really just aren’t appealing at all. No-brainers, yes. Chick flicks, maybe not.
morgan | March 15th, 2008 at 7:59:10 am

I’m a sucker for comedies. And comedies are sometimes romantic, so it works for me. I’ve never heard of the movies you’ve mentioned :S

I think our mindsets affect more than we know. I have a theory that if we think positively, and really actually believe it, then things will turn out positively. So in a way,the world does evolve the way a person does. Or I”m just missing the point completely.
