Movie: Malena (Giuseppe Tornatore)

Beauty is a gift. If it ever becomes sin, it's only because the surroundings are full of sin - men's lust, women's hated and jealousy. Because she is alone, silent, and in grief, she becomes an easy target. Because she is different, she is being punished. In a masculine society, you'll be surprise that both men and women take advantage of this widow. Isn't it sad that women do not stand for women? Isn't it shame that men do not protect the widow from the war? Isn't it scary that not a single person can stand out and say a justice word for her? Where is the gut of truth? Where is the love and sympathy that God had put in human? There is no good intention in the whole movie except at the end of the movie, the letter the boy wrote that brought Malena and her husband back together. Dark side of human was very uncomfortable to watch. Unfortunately, it happens not only in 1940 Sicily!

I woke up today tired and period. Day started w skipping hip hop class. Then unprofessional agent called for flat seeing. I expected to finalize a trip plan with my little friend e. However, end up being ditch. So hungry so I called dad for food delivery. I didn't know it would take him one whole hour. I got mad and throw it all to him on the phone. End up being both upset and guilty and I teared on food feeling really depress and lonely. Thinking of calling off the whole afternoon church thing. Inside, it told me not to. It's right! I heard a just-in-time mesage and had a great chat w cell (who cares only 3 of us). Dad called to tell me he bought nut cracker tickets. The whole day ends with 2 french movies with roommate and nice chat about living in France. am not the one going but same level of excitement for sure! When you think you are too down to do anything, your day is about to turn around! That's what I learnt from today!

French Cine

I will miss my roommate! Finally got a companion for french movies. Able to discuss after feel so great. Today we watched a thriller by Sophie Marceau. It was a total surprise. We talked and talked while waiting for minibus. We forgot to pay and made the whole bus waiting for us chatting back there! We were talking about student life in France. I envy her to be able to do it finally. Chasing for dream is something wonderful! I will miss her!

Cousin buddies

I was gonna bring 2 cousins to body check but dr was out of town. We end up spend the whole afternoon and evening at causeway bay shopping, having tea at cafe and snacking on the street. It was really fun and relaxing! We should do that from time to time.
