happy ever after

"The morning sunrise spread her wings
While the moon hung in the sky
Held the sea in your hands
And happy ever after in your eyes
Couldn't leave you to go to heaven
I carry you in my smile
For the first time my true reflection i see
Happy ever after in your eyes
Every star in the night
Promises the dawn
I will be there if you fall
To ever so heavily rest upon
All that i can give youIs forever yours to keep
Wake up every day with a dream
And happy ever after in your eyes
Happy ever after is in your eyes "



this is the song/lullaby Ben Harper wrote for Heath Ledger's daughter, Matilda. the beauty of words, to convey as closely as possible of one's emotions, to the best they can. it's been more than a month, and i still can't get over it. you see all these pictures and moving images of him everywhere, and because celebrities have always been so 'far' from us, it's hard to believe they're really gone. i'm not sad, i just can't come to terms with it properly.





with no references to any religion, just an apt song with suited lyrics,



Inxs 'God's Top Ten'



Romance is gone, he's drifting with the stars
A lyric in his pocket, little girl in his heart
When you hear his songs on the radio
I don't need to tell you what you already know
He's on God's Top Ten where Heaven never ends
You saw the world and the world saw you on the stage
Wild wild wild colonial boy
Roquefort le pont, your gypsy heart is free
Pictures on the wall of your family
He's on God's Top Ten where Heaven never ends
He's on God's Top Ten
Baby's got momma's eyes, she was always beautiful
When you hear his voice, feel his arms around you
You remember momma smiling, a daddy's little girl
Bad weather, cold media storm
He's on God's Top Ten where Heaven never ends
He's on God's Top Ten






can't wait to watch his last two movies! (i can't believe i had to type the word 'last').

JUNO (2007)

this is a MUST-WATCH! i've read many rave reviews about it and finally caught it! brilliantly funny and clever teen comedy definitely worth watching. i thought it was some usual teenage pregnant unwed 18-year-old mum kinda chich flick, but it turned out to be a whole lot more: juno (ellen page) cracks me up incessantly with her sharp and witty dialogue, with the perfect facial expressions suited to her lines all the time. it's so entertaining, you'll be too busy laughing to catch the next funny line. the script leaves you thinking, why such a quick-witted girl like Juno would be caught in such a situation, but the thing is she takes the whole event in her stride so well, you'd be admiring her throughout, with her maturity beyond her years, at the same time you can relate to the edginess during one's adolescence years. it's a rather dark comedy, i'd say.

nothing of that crappy usual moralistic sappy crap they give you at these unwed teen mothers movies. it's unusually intelligent, something you wouldn't expect from an almost all-teen cast. i mean, the last movie you watched with an all-teen cast was probably high school musical/2 (on disney channel). the movie shows you that there is no such thing as a 'perfect' ending, which makes the whole film HUMAN, every idiosyncracy of the characters portrayed genuinely accurate.

no spoilers, i'd leave you with this one-liner from the show:

Juno MacGuff: Yeah, I'm a legend. You know, they call me the cautionary whale.

happy birthday, min!

enjoy what you deserve!

plenty of love! :)

i am back! sorry for the trouble, but you gotta do it when you gotta do it. blogger is still homeground, after all!





ken and i have been together for ages, and we're not the ones to make a big fuss out of commercialized holidays like vday and christmas, but today gave him a reason to spoil me:

my boyfriend bought me a dslite and the best thing is (yes, you're right), it's PINK! i'd never indulge myself in something like that, much i would like to, which is pretty much i think why he got me this! this is SO unexpected. but i'm rather afraid i'll get bored of it after a while, but i'll enjoy the moment as it goes - because the dog REALLY responds! *shrieks

i'm always saying he's the practical kind, not the spoiling type, but come to think of it, he's given me more than enough romantic surprises, in a practical kind of way anyhow! i am SO surprised at this gift/gesture, and feel so damn guilty for being so damn broke not to get ken anything in return! *guilt guilt guilt

to my one and only superhero (you've got a common ordinary name too :) - happy vday and really, i'm incredibly touched. :)

by the way, do watch jumper, it's great, around the world in 80 minutes! this is what i call a vday movie, because i'm darned sure both parties would enjoy it tremendously. not p.s.iloveyou which was a terribly failed attempt to portray cecilia ahern's major tearjerker. it could have been one, worth a good 4 buckets of tears, but sadly wasn't so. movies always fail to do justice to the actual novels. bottomline: watch jumper!

happy vday to all! :)
