i speak...
i'm an open type of person. i speak out my emotions
usually pero i can be very private at times. i love to
dance and to sing
and i love the company of my friends and my family.
i'm an overly talkative, compassionate dreamer, a
romantic at heart.
i'm a writer too.
words i'd love to live by/tara-inspired
i will create my day
i will create my reality, moment to moment
i will change my mind
i will open myself to the infinite realm of possibility
i will leave room for auspicious coincidence
i will not decide what is next
i will not decide what is real
i will not expect
i will have confidence
i will boycott self-doubt
i will have confidence to go beyond hesitation
i will not be afraid to be afraid
i will remember who I am
oh, yeah. i will also have fun...
i love...
GOD

call me too late and everything, but i think i fell in love with Reality Bites the movie just this morning. thanks to Cinemax and to the corned beef and rice i did not want to eat for breakfast on my first day off, i finally got to watch the movie as peacefully and with intense concentration as possible. although i did not catch what i think was the first 30 minutes of the film, i savored the witty, romantic, unpretentious genius the movie is known for, until the end credits.
i could say that i could relate a bit to the characters, for i am also just readjusting to life after college (a.k.a. the real world) and also on the way to finding my independent 'identity'. but i can't say i live the adult drama everyday (for heaven's sake i still go home to batangas every single night). i think that maybe if i were staying at my friends' apartment in qc, wherein a lot of heat was generating, as i heard, i could absorb the drama some more. but that is not the case and it makes me think.
aside from the fact that i wear myself out commuting back and forth to batangas everyday, i'm feeling even more of the need for independence vibe, now that i've seen that movie. of course americans graduate from college at the age of 22, minimum, in comparison to the filipinos' ripe age of 20, but the age difference doesn't mean you don't have the qualifications to live on your own, especially if you have a decent job, right? don't get me wrong, i love being with my family, plus i missed the already prepared breakfast and my mom's wake up call alot when i was away in college, and which i am enjoying every morning now that i'm working and staying at home. but then again, i still worry that i'll get tagged as a spoiled, pampered, sheltered daughter who can't stand at her own two tired feet.
going back to the movie, what impressed me alot was the witty lines the characters, especially, troy and lelaina, threw at each other. plus it had the best friend falling for each other issue which up to now makes me wonder, why does that enchant me? also, ethan hawke (troy dyer) and winona rider (lelaina pierce) has this amazing chemistry which makes me feel sorry for whereever their careers have gone to at present. the movie was undoubtedly one of the best early 90's film i've ever watched. i loved it so bad i'm adding it to my list of favorites. the soundtrack was unremarkable too.
i thought the gilmore girls were the masters of the unrealistically long, funny and quick-wit everyday conversation lines but that was definitely before i got to know troy dyer, lelaina pierce, and vicky miner. especially troy. want some examples? i have saved these quips about two years ago, when i still haven't seen the movie but loved the quotes when i came across them on imdb.com:
Vickie: Laney, sex is the quickest way to ruin a friendship. Lelaina: He's so cheesy, I can't watch him without crackers.
Troy Dyer: [answering the phone] Hello, you've reached the winter of our discontent.
Lelaina Pierce: I have to work around here, and unfortunately Troy, you are a master at the art of time suckage. Vickie Miner: I'm late for a jean folding seminar. Let's locomote! Troy Dyer: I'm bursting with fruit flavor. Troy Dyer: I am not under any orders to make the world a better place. Troy Dyer: [On answering machine] At the beep please leave your name, number and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma and we'll get back to you. Vickie: Evian is naive spelled backward.
See? Can't get any better than this. :D
