'You said that this is crazy, you're a half a world away
Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much
Anyway

'Cause everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right'


Okay, didnt do much but i think today has made me thinkin bt a lot of stuff. all thanks to two great french movies i watched today. as a matter of fact, i watched three movies today. woke up around ten, wakin up to find a message from Paulina tellin me her bio notes which she needed for a test tomorrow was wit her friend's friend. so she was kinda worried n pissed coz obviously she needs them to study. but she got them back b4 goin for her service, so she was ok. found out newcastle drew, which leaves them winless so far this season yet again, coz i was watchin the first Tomb Raider till 1 last nite. i didnt watch it previously coz i tot it wasnt gd n i stick by it. gotta see whether the second one was gd or not, but tho i think it'll b better than the first, i think i'll still not b content. i dunno how to describe but it juz lacks depth n the interest generation. lotsa ppl seemed to like it, but non, not me. so yea, woke up, had the usual breakfast, started rainin quite badly, then started watchin 'Amelie.' It was v interestin movie. a girl tryin to fix up everyone's lives finds out in the end tt she needs to fix up her own messed up life instead of others, n yea, does so. it was very cute the way she got around doin things for her friends n i would b delighted if i could come across anyone whos like her. it makes u feel v warm n happy at the end of the movie coz she got wat she deserved after makin lives of those around her better.

went off for grocery shoppin after tt, juz helped my parents get stuff around n into the car n stuff. went to get fruits, then get KFC for lunch, since my bro didnt wanna go out or somethin. was quite pissed when i found out i didnt get wat i wanted coz my mom bought stuff usin the coupons n she didnt know tt the bit she took out wasnt wat i wanted. but ah well cant blame her. i should hav taken the bit n given her myself. or checked b4 grabbin the bag n leavin. some thoughtless things i do at times.

yea, tt's tt. i wanted to watch '8 Women' but my dad wanted to watch this mafia flick 'The Untouchables' so we watched tt instead. it was pretty cool watchin some old movie wit a gd plot. the end was a v big surprise n it was worth it, tho v slow, in the end.

went down to play soccer for a while to destress, bend some stress on the ball n stuff.

came back up, took shower, spent a little more time than usual to shave, wasnt too happy wif small bits tt were obvious to me, but minimal stuff others would hardly notice. juz for my sake, i feel v uncomfortable wit incomplete shave. haha.

ironed uniform for tomorrow n had dinner.

immediately got down to watchin '8 Women' coz i coudnt wait anymore. haha, but it turned out to b excellent movie in the end. one of the finest, mayb coz i had no idea wat the movie was abt, so everythin is a surprise. god, i love french movies now. this, among the rest tt ive watched, was finest of the finest. its basically bt this man, who's the only man in the house, n other 7 women tt live wit him, n later becomes 8 when his sister comes in. basically the poor fella's murdered, which probes a scandalous disclosure of all sorts of secrets eveyone kept from others. thigns like his wife havin affairs n gonna leave him, his eldest daughter not being his real daughter n she subsequently gettin pregnant while studyin in england, his mother in law killin her husband coz she didnt love him n it was torturous, his sister in law havin lusts for him, his maid being a lesbian wif his sister, he havin sexual relationship wit his chambersmaid n all. its not coz of him, but all these women havin secrets of their own tt made his life miserable. they portraited the story n the uncoverin of secrets so well i was left there starin at the screen sayin 'damn.' plus they put it like a musical at times, only prob was tt there were no subtitles durin their respective songs so i was left to wonder wat they were sayin. but wif a surprise twist in the end, it shot up straight into one of my all time faves. it was fantastic n left me thinkin bt how relationship should b n wat i can do abt it in the future, if any, at all.

this movie left me thinkin bt future relationships i could possibly have. even if i'm happy, doesnt necessarily the other one is happy. everyone knows tt, but the question is how bad is it. u might lead a comfortable, perfect life, but u could suffer in silence, coz theres lack of the fire tt keeps both of u goin, n u might never know wat the other ultimately has in mind. these things make settlin down or even startin up a v difficult thing to do. it makes me more confused bt these things, really. but it has set certain aspects into proper perspective, i think. not only did i enjoy the movie, ive learnt things from it as well. how many movies does tt?

while i was watchin the movie, i was in contact with Paulina n it kinda worried me to find out she was muggin all day for her test tomorrow till the pt she was feelin v stressed n all. i mean, juz for a test, she had to study so much, like an exam. i didnt take bio, so i wouldnt know exactly how much she needed to study but from the way she made it sound, it seemed an awful lot for juz a test. she's been like this for the past two days. i dont remember studyin so much time durin my sec 3 yr, n i managed to get by pretty well. so i'm rather worried for her coz she cant go on like this, it'll juz kill her. i juz hope tt she can take it bit by bit without pushin so much on herself. i suddenly felt v guilty tt i didnt even imagine tt she was goin through all these when i was in constant touch wif her, let alone not askin her bt it. she sure doesnt need to go through so much rite now, wif her end of yr exams comin up. but she's got a pretty nice holiday planned out when she can destress n enjoy, so i guess theres somethin in the offin for her to come. juz hope tt she doesnt hav to suffer so much.

ah well, boro won. tt means newcastle r now 19th wit a game in hand, juz hope tt game in hand becomes an advantage n not another defeat or draw. they'll b facin NEC Breda on wed for UEFA Cup n i hope tt gets the season goin. everyone say they're startin out bad this season, but exactly this time last season, we were juz a pt better off n in the end we ended up third. imagine wat would hav happened if the start wasnt like tt? we probably had a very gd shot at gettin tt title. but it wasnt meant to b. o well. things will start soon.

another wk in sch, i think tt'll b the last 2 or 3 wks of sch for me. but gotta face the nightmare of prelim results. after a happy wkend, i think i'm ready for some backlash. then the work starts again. when will this end...
