It's been 4 years...

One more year to make it 5...

One more year we'll graduate from the first 5 years of marriage that people claim as the most difficult one...

Is it difficult?

Yes and No.

Yet, it doesn't matter, easy or difficult...

We're together...

and, in love...

In a way, I'm kinda disappointed at myself.

I went to the faculty of letter yet the books I read were not as many as I think I was wuppossed to read. Only some that I really finished. Yes, that's kinda sad.

Some other books I couldn't finish were those I had to do in a group. Since we had so many assignments, we created a rule where I only had to read the first few chapters, and a friend some of the following chapters, and the other friend some of the last chapters (or depends on the number of persons in the group).

At that moment, I knew the whole story. But since I didn't read all, I couldn't keep the memory up until now (yes, I have to admit that I have a bad memory, poor me). And, what I'm sad about is because those are great books of which I wish I knew every single lines.

That is why, I've been making a list of all the books that I had to work on when I was at the university. I have promised myself that I would reread them all. They are too good to miss.

At first, I didn't remember anything about this song.  I didn't remember the title, I didn't remember how it sounds, I didn't remember the lyrics. But, I knew I looooove this song.

It's a famous song in around 1989-1992, sung by a lady, talking about wishing upon a star for someone she loves but she cannot see.

Then, thankfully suddenly it crossed my mind just like that right after I wrote this journal.

Here I present a little part of the lyric for you:

"Wishing On The Same Star"

It's so hard to leave you
I don't really wanna go
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
It's the last thing I wanna do
But I won't be sad now
Cuz til your in my arms again
You'll be inside of my heart
And wherever I go
We'll never really be apart

We'll be wishing on the same star
Looking at the same moon
When you're thinking of me, baby
I'll be thinking of you
And no matter where I go
I will be there with you
Wishing on the same star
Lookin at the same moon

...

No matter where you turn around
It's the same sun that keeps shining down
Wherever we'll be, I know that we'll be
Wishing on the same star

Lack of time out of having to do my job as a freelance book translator—which I normally do after office hours, at home—, I had been missing watching interesting up-to-date movies. And, I even didn’t know that this one, Premonition, even existed.

At first, I was like…oh, why would she (she refers to one of my bestest friends) want me to watch this? What’s in it that makes it so special anyway? But, I watched in anyway since I had promised her that I would do it this weekend—and I’ve just finished it.

So, now, I have to thank her for making me watch it—she bought the DVD for me an sent her driver to drop it at my house right away after I told her that I might have had no time to buy it for I had no plan to go to a mall this weekend. This is a remarkable movie.

I, personally, gave 5 stars for this movie of which the first few scenes gave me a total confusion—although out of curiosity, I have taken a peep on Wikipedia, just to find out what this movie as about. But then, I managed to understand where it was leading to. It was a part romance, part thriller (at least for me, since I hate thriller so much, I don’t like my adrenalin to work that hard!).

At the last few scenes, I tried my best not to cry. Yet, when Linda (Sandra Bullock, how I love this movie star!) woke up in a lovely morning—it was the very last scene—I couldn’t help it. Tears were sliding on my cheeks.

This movie teaches us about destiny. I wouldn’t want to talk much about this one since if I do, it would be a spoiler.

It also teaches us about love. How every moment, expressing love is important for you don’t know what you’ll be facing the next one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one week, etc. Just let the one(s) you love know and be able to feel it.

And, it teaches us about how you need to fight for anything, love, marriage, happiness. Don’t just sit down and watch things (or your life) break into pieces. Fight for it.

Well, up until I write this review (it’s Sunday, August 05, 2007, 01.05 AM), I still don’t know why this great friend of mine made me watch this wonderful movie. But, I really thank her for that.

Any other movie, pal?

:-D
