the Great debaters

"St. Augustine said, "An unjust law is no law at all." Which means I have a right, even a duty to resist. With violence or civil disobedience. You should pray I choose the latter."

the kite runner

although i've read the book and watched the movie, watching it again still makes me cry.

no amount of good doing could compensate the pain he caused his friend. there is a way to be good again, but i think it's too late.

a wilderness explorer is a friend to all, be it bird or fish or tiny mole!

Kite Runner, the movie

this is the same "Kite Runner" which i posted recently. after reading the book and watched it on big screen last night, i couldn't help but recommend this movie. it is a must-see movie. i was deeply moved by this film, the depth of every character.


Kite Runner is about friendship...between Amir, son of a successful businessman Baba, and Hassan, son of their servant Ali. an unlikely friendship misunderstood by many Afghan children.
about betrayal... how Amir betrayed Hassan, who would always protect him and despite all the tragic odds remain faithful with their friendship. (ahhh.. i couldn't help but hate Amir. he is the an arrogant kid and the least sympathetic characted in movie. ironic as he is the main character, maybe it could have been better if it was Hassan or perhaps Baba)

about war...how it ruin lives, a tradegy best seen in Baba. how a once powerful man takes a lowly job in America after their exile.(he is the most moving character in this movie). shows the worst of the Taliban... indeed, "there is no shame in war."

there is a way to be good again... in the end, Amir makes up for his mistakes. (duh, too late. how painful to find the truth of his own lineage when everything was already gone)

kite runner is actually not about kids flying kites (no wonder why there was a kid in the movie house who fall asleep)not for those who are bored with words because the movie was all about listening, or should i say, reading the subtitles (?)but for those who wanted see what a great movie is all about.

the kite runner

while watching a movie, i noticed the trailer of The Kite Runner. so immediately i got myself a copy of the book by Khaled Hosseini.

reading the first part of the book, i find myself loving it. simple writing which compels me to turn page to page. i hope to finish reading before the film's showing day.

the Kite Runner is about 2 friends who got separated by events. setting in Afghanistan, which shows a vivid picture of the country. and apparently the Afghan government has banned the film from being shown because of ethnic tensions that the movie pictures.

2/18 i am now reading chapter 8 and indeed this book interests me so so so much. it's not just a plain simple writing but it is full of surprises, and pain.

27 dresses


at times like this where we have a number of political and government issues, a feel good movie is a breather.

the beautiful Dr. Izzie Stevens of Seattle Grace Hospital is Jane Nichols in the movie 27 dresses, the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride".

izzie is really pretty and cyclops is equally handsome.

p.s. i love you

a movie based on a novel by cecelia ahern is on its first showing day and i wouldn't miss it for anything. (not even a steam bath or sauna, wink*wink*)

the story is about a married couple so deeply inlove with each other, having a time of their life when suddenly death comes in between them. Gerry’s death takes the life out of Holly. However, morbid as this sounds, Gerry left her letters that will take her to new adventure and each ends in “P.S. I love you”. I was already in tears after few minutes of watching the movie. It was like feeling Holly’s every pain. I was moved by her struggle to move on and their undying love.

a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life

the movie differs to the book in several ways but i couldn’t choose one over the other.

we shared some beautiful times together and you made my life... you made my life.

the distance

i have always loved the movie Serendipity. 'watched this movie several times and always i end up with a "sigh"

i'm listening to the sound track until i finally sleep...

"The Distance"

The sky has lost it's color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away
I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you're comin' back

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm callin your name

But I can't take the distance
I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough

I brave fire and I brave rain
To be by your side I'd do anything
I can't take the distance

I will go the distanceI will go the miles
That's how much you mean to me
'Cause I can't take the distance
I can't take these miles
I can't take the time until I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm calling your name
I can't take the distance
It's hard to remember
As long as you're away
When I find solace
There's only one way
