atonement.
yes, i’m refering to the movie. just finally watched it. you must figure i’m rather boring but these are the kind of movies i enjoy. so deal with it.
anyways, the movie was amazing. not the typical happy ending one’s but this is one of the rare few occasions i’m watching a movie prior to reading the book. perhaps that’s why i enjoyed it that much.
i don’t really know where to start but the movie was good to a point i teared. well, towards the ending. ladies, don’t drag the men to watch it. they wouldn’t survive.
it starts off with Robbie (James McAvoy) and Cecilia (Keira Knightly) with their new found love that ends up falling apart almost instantaneously due to a misunderstanding. Perhaps more of a misconception of a young adolescent child unable to understand how adults deal with matter thus leading to Robbie being wrongly accused. So he was convicted for a crime that he never committed and was left to either go to prison or serve the army. So the obvious option of serving the army since prison seems like eternal hell.
Cecilia : I love you. Come back. Come back to me.
Then like most of my favourite novels that involve romance, it’s the waiting game. The two lovers end up waiting for each other’s return to spend the rest of their lives together. As for how it ends? you’d have to find out yourself or perhaps find out why on earth the heartless creature, me started tearing.
Robbie: Find you. Love you. Marry you. And live without shame.
all i can say is it’s a really good movie if you’re not into the typical fairytales. If you read books you might like it. apart from that, it makes you think of how the slightest misunderstanding and saying something without certaint truth could affect a person for life.
P.S: apart from the movie being amazing, i’m in love with the green dress. if spotted may i please please please have it? i’m just completely in love with it. it’s simply stunning.
books.
today i gave a book to a friend whilst visiting her at the hospital. i figured the usual fruits and flowers wouldn’t do much.
i believe books are very powerful tools. it’s the power of how words could evoke thoughts or emotions. i’ve read quite a number of books in my life and there are quite a number of them which i found really powerful. it has left me thinking of life itself. it’s simply amazing.
this is one of the reasons why i tend to encourage friends to read. it might sound boring or dull but you’ll be amazed what you find. i’m sure we all can find that little inner want to read. as children we loved our fairytales. so why not kick it up a notch as you grow older? think about it.
as for those i know that will never pick up a book to read unless they HAVE to. i give up. it’s up to you. i’m not storytelling. you know who you are. as for that someone, i ain’t storytelling in detail NO MORE. thank you.
I quit alcohol.
for those that don’t already know,
i’m no longer an alcoholic.
yes, i still do hit the clubs and all but instead of the lil’ cocktail or my usual whisky on the rocks i’m having a glass of coke or old school H2o. I’m serious. For those that find it hard to believe it’s true. For being formerly known as the refinery i no longer am.
you must wonder why such a decision? i have my personal reasons and no it ain’t because of the boyfriend. i actually enjoy my alone time with him with either a margarita or sangria.
now proves the next factor, can people sometime just mind their own business and stop assuming my life revolves around the boyfriend. i made this decision. wokeyh?
i quit because alcohol is f**king up my system. enough said.
thank you for your kind coorperation and do NOT offer me a drink for i’ll say no without hesitation and if you try again with intentions of testing my resistance to saying no to alcohol? yes, it will piss me off. why? because i bloody hell decided so and i don’t need your assistance to f**k up my health. Thank You.
what the hell?
as for my former drinking buddies? i loved your company. thank you. will give a buzz if i intend to have my occasional happy hour and i choose to drink again.
