Simple pleasures - I am deprived of it. Just like waking up early in the morning on a rainy day, the best time to be curled up longer in bed and enjoy snoozing, to run towards my nephew who is already crying like a hungry hyena and fix some breakfast. Well, I don’t usually cook for breakfast - but attending to the needs of others somehow makes me feel domesticated. Argh. Well, shouldn’t I?
My life revolves around my family and I really shouldn’t be complaining. I chose to work at home to be with them more, see them everyday, enjoy the meal with them and free them of their worries when I used to go home late from work. Well, there are definitely a lot of advantages than disadvantages. By far, this is probably one of the best decisions I have made. For every decision that I make or would make, I always have them in my thoughts before making a step. Even if I had to be physically away from them, I know sacrifices has to be made. After all, love is a decision not an emotion.
This reminds me of a few lines from Stardust the movie which I watched together with my brothers. See? I even date them instead of someone or my friends. Haha.
“I know a lot about love. It was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.” - Yvaine
Now talking about the movie (sudden change of topic), the interpretation was suprisingly appealing and done beautifully. Although it’s slightly different from what I have read 2 years ago - the changes in sequencing of events and some characterization added to develop an entire movie plot - it’s still a great movie to watch. It is magically entertaining, I’m telling you.
I know for a fact that novels-turned-into-movies don’t usually get the whole view of the author and capture every detail in the film, so I didn’t expect much. The key is to stop predicting what would or should happen (if you have read the book) and just enjoy the movie!
And thank me for not posting a review about it. Haha
It’s a happy ending all right. But I guess it is more important to point out that this movie probes one question: How far would you go to get what you’ve always wanted?
And what if you found out that it is not what you actually wanted…?
Tara! Let’s watch it again!!
