Movie Review: 127 Hours

"There is no force more powerful than the will to live."

  I watched the film last night and it was very inspiring. The story is about a guy named Aron Ralston who went for a climbing experience at Blue John Canyon in Utah but had been trapped eventually after sliding in between canyons and having his hand stucked in a boulder. He was with no food an ample amount of water and his mountain climbing things and a knife.

You could really see how hard it was for him to try to move the boulder just so he could free his hand and how hard he fought thirst and hunger. The part where he realizes all the things about his life; How he ignored his mother's calls, his family and how he treat them before, his wrong doings, made me really cry. The part where he started cutting his arm was the best scene. If I were in his place, I could not have done it. Cutting an arm with a small knife is hard and very painful. Thinking about it, I know couldn't bare the pain. I would've probably just waited until I die. Aron was really brave for doing such act.

This movie is really a great source for inspiration. This movie really moved me and encouraged me to do good  and better things and fight hard in the obstacles that life would offer. 127 Hours is a must-watch movie.

From Fantasy to Reality.

 The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

 I watched a movie entitled "Enchanted" awhile ago and got me thinking. At this age of mine, 18, I'm still a fan of these Walt Disney princess movies like "Sleeping Beauty" , "Snow White" , "Cinderella" and the such. It makes me really want to believe in damsels in distress, handsome prince charming, love at first sight or happily ever after. Everytime you watch something like this, it just takes you away from the real world, from reality.

Watching the movie, I realized things.

• There is no such thing as love at first sight. Once you find out each others character, there will always be a problem about it or something that would eventually, set you part. And when this happens, you'd realize that everything was just some whirlwind romance.
• In a fantasy, you could be someone's only one. But in reality, there is a chance that he/she could/would find someone else better than you. Someone who's more good-looking, richer, and everything "more than" what and who you are. Reality is harsh, I know.
• Happily ever after is not for everyone. A few only get it. You may be happy in the beginning but would it last until the "ever after"?
• Happiness is hard to find. Sometimes, you'd ask yourself if there really is such a thing. You can never tell. Life is unfair. You don't get everything you want and the word 'contentment' could be a stranger in you.
• Prince or princess, duet of you life, partner or other halves are hard to find. Some just don't exist, others had already got them and made them theirs. Only a few find theirs and they are lucky.
• Singing doesn't let you command birds, rats, chipmunks or rabbits. That's screwed.

Basically, the movie shows the difference between fantasy and reality. The dream from the real world is completely different. True love's kiss and ballads may prove things in a fantasy that would lead to happily ever afters. In reality, there is no true love's kiss but  French kissing and sex; and ballads only apply to singers.

I've finally had it.

I've been really fascinated with beanies, those cute little hats that other people from other countries use. Aside from its cuteness, its also becoming a fashion trend because of those KPop and Jpop sort types of group. I've always wanted one and it's a little hard to find the exact thing that I like. Until, a college friend of mine gave her black beanie to me out of pity, I guess. She said she had 5 of these and she barely use it.

 It was color black and its not really the exact thing that I like or looking for but, grateful that she gave it to me, I am glad and I loved it.

It actually looks good when worn but I really prefer it a little baggy looking. This just fits my head perfectly. I'm also not a fan of those whatchamacallit thingy on top of it. They look a little kiddie in my eyes. But I still wear it like everyday since I got it because, its still cute and it shows my appreciation. And my friend seems to be happy that I am wearing what she gave me. :)

So, this is how it looks like on me. I prefer wearing it and pretending that its baggy even if its really not. Please excuse my stupid face and messy hair. I barely comb my hair because it grew so long and laziness hinders me to get it cut. Which by the way, adds up to the reasons why I wanted a beanie... That is to cover my messy hair. 

At least it wouldn't emphasize the messiness of  my hair unlike when I just let it loose and all. It somehow lessens the look of stupidity in me. 

 

Also, I found this brilliant idea so that I could stop whining about how bad I wanted a beanie. So, I decided to make one for myself. I've been sewing some clothes so I could wear something different even if its just the same shirts. In other words, I'm recycling shirts for myself. It saves me from the cash wasting. 

I looked for some tutorials on youtube and found this video. It only plays for about two minutes but it somehow helped and gave me the idea. I'm not just gonna depend on this video. I'm planning to buy some handbook about this so I could really understand the whole stuff. Seriously, it looks really hard. I mean, sewing is different from knitting. I could use some sewing machine for my clothes but here, its like I'm back to 10th century. I'm going back to basics with thick needles and yarns. I'm pretty serious about this one so I wish myself some good luck! :)

We'll be back shortly.

Tumblr's down again and it pisses me. really. I've been waiting for it to be fixed since morning and what time is it? David Karp, Y U so slow? I want tumblr already. So who have their tumblr accounts? Comment me your URLs? <3

Parents on social networking sites.

It's kind of awkward having your parents in your list of friends in your facebook account. Actually, any social networking sites.. But what to do? We cant just ignore their friend request and decline. Even pretending not to see their friend requests is a little weird. I mean, you cant just do anything. Eventually, you just have to accept them and pray to God they wont find anything that you posted like:

• I'm bored so I'm not gonna go to school.
• Homework again? I'll just copy tomorrow.
• Not going to class, date with boyfriend tomorrow.
• I am so fucked up.
• Party tonight, see you..

Those sort of stuffs. That could really get you in trouble. Especially when you told your parents that you're gonna sleep over your friends house to work on a project but, there goes someone tagging you on their statuses about how fun your night was drinking and dancing together with your friends. Pictures could also put you in trouble. I mean, I've been on a trouble because of those pictures. Wearing bikinis when your from a super religious and conservative family, drinking and smoking cigs when you're not aloud to, or those pictures of you smacking and hugging some random guy.

The thing here is, my mom has an account and I don't really care if she sees everything because we're really close and everything I do is totally legit to her as long as I dont do anything that could ruin me or my studies. But, just this morning.. I found out that my father already made his account and a request is waiting for my confirmation. Seriously, I was having second thoughts. Should I accept it? How about my freedom of speech? How could I share something without him knowing? It kinda pisses me off.

And I just came out with a brilliant solution. I remembered that I could always make a second account, use twitter and blog everything. I'm not posting links there so he wouldn't know anything. I just gotta have to adjust myself to opening my twitter, blogspot and tumblr more often than facebook. And I gotta learn to choose my words.

Supernatural season 6

Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles)

Season six will be a season of mystery and shadow. Heaven and Hell have been left in complete disarray since the apocalyptic events of season five. And now, monsters, angels and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life – pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell.  The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn’t what it used to be, and that nothing is what it seems.

I was a big fan of this series and it was just today that I bothered researching if it has its continuation. I watched the entire season 5 and this episode, the last one in particular, made me really think that Supernatural is over. Especially the part where Chuck is narrating and he typed "Any ass-chapped monkey with a keyboard can poop out a beginning, but endings are impossible". I was literally crying because of the thought. Thank God they made another season for this. I am happy again. :)


I know I sound stupid because its just now that I knew about this and they were already in episode 11 but, I dont really care. >:)
