Movie Time!!
Did this before our computer had another fatal crash. One of the things I was able to save.
——————-
I think I was changed.
JD, forgive me if I nearly tore your shirt last night. But ladies and gentlemen, despite the possible bad reviews this movie got like my friend JD said, please scout for a copy of “Windstruck” and secure boxes of Kleenex tissues with you. Oh, and no, despite the title, Ranier Castillo is not on this one. Hell if he is.
However, if you have not seen “My Sassy Girl” yet, then secure a copy of that and make sure you’re already on the verge of worshipping it before watching Windstruck. For one thing, this will turn all Jeon Ji-hyun’s fans (that would be “my sassy girl” for us korean-dumb people who never knew what her name really is) into a frenzy, for she is returning to the big screen to give us more tears and kilig pleasures, brought to us by the same…director. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Although not produced by Shin Cine unlike before, they did not fail to bring us the same elated feelings after emerging out of the movie house (or, in our case, JD’s bedroom) and the same feeling of actually wanting to love someone. (naks.)
The story starts with Jeon on the verge of throwing herself off from the peak of a building. Very circular, like that of My Sassy Girl, come to think of it, but since they are almost aiming to do a MSG 2, it’s not too surprising. A narrator tells of her story, involving a man she fell in love with after an unfortunate (but brutally cute) incident with Myoong Woo (yeah, yeah. The name’s very MSG too). After realizing their hormones are still intact and it told them they’re meant for each other (he he), the two tries to cherish each other while bonded by a promise using their pinkies. Or something to that effect.
And then the lead male dies, and the rest is just bull. But fun. *laughs*
I’m sorry, I’m giving you a vague synopsis here so I wouldn’t spoil too much fun. But it did temporarily change my outlook on males. Somehow I’m giving them a benefit of the doubt now if they are really capable of loving a person wholeheartedly (hwahaha). But that would last only up…
…till now. *Back to sarcastic cynic mode*
:D
Watch it, dammit. Do watch it. And for those who are under my wings (that would be Matt, E.James, Jaynie, JE, Mark and Paul), don’t worry, I’ll bring this movie to the dorm near you (err…Jaynie, it’s okay to have another movie marathon over at your place, right? 
).
Sigh. Public Service announcement done. I’ve recommended to the public something good to watch. I’m signing off. 
On the other line
Xiao,
Called you up the other night a couple of times. I don�t know exactly what I wanted to tell you, but I just went ahead and called you up again and again anyway. The operator kept on telling me that you�re out of coverage area.
So at my last attempt, I talked to your operator instead. I asked her, how far is my coverage anyway? Not wide enough to reach you, I guess. I told her I needed to tell you something; maybe she can relay my message. I asked her to tell you that I�m sorry for what I�m about to do. I said I needed to get you off my mind somehow, and fix some things that I hoped wouldn�t need much of your attention. I�m in the middle of things that called for too much conflicts�the truth and reality.
I called you up again exactly after I hung up because I thought I haven�t told you everything. But the operator said you were out of reach. Yeah, I sadly replied. We�re friends but I still can�t seem to reach what he�s thinking. I can�t seem to understand him on that level that he calls for. I bid her goodbye.
A few minutes after that, I thought of calling you up again. I just wanted to say I miss you.
But then, my batt went off.
I guess it wasn�t meant for me to call you up to tell you that.
JC.

jace : but i have. back in the day
imbakan_ko: why do you give them?

jace : coz i liked the girl
jace : coz i wanted the girl to feel special
imbakan_ko: wow.
imbakan_ko: how do you drop hints to a guy for such a thing to happen? *laughs*
———-
Oo nga naman. To make people feel special.
Kaya pala nanganganib ang isang kaibigan kong nabigyan ng rosas lately dahil somehow, she felt special. Hasty irrational thoughts because of overwhelming feelings. Palapit na rin ako dito sa sentence na ito.
I wanna research more on the power of roses. Cute siya. *laughs*
