it's one of those nights made for chilling, i think. and not just because the temperature's been decemberish of late. i just want to be alone for a bit. i don't want to talk about anything, i don't want to put on the sunshine mask, i don't want to be all mopey, i just want to stay alone in the dark, enjoying the cool that very rarely comes as other people's fictional lives unfold before me, and to disappear in stasis.
so.
i will switch off my phone, light a couple of candles, and just sink into bed. tomorrow, i will have to deal with the world again, but tonight, i am going to tune out as much as my little heart desires.

that makes sense. otherwise, if they weren't important, i wouldn't really care, now, would i?
duuuur.
i'm also supposed to be helpful. of course, if i don't give a rat's ass, you're on your own.

this can't be right.Your Inner Child Is Naughty 
Like a child, you tend to discount social rules.
It's just too much fun to break the rules!
You love trouble - and it seems that trouble loves you.
And no matter what, you refuse to grow up!

geniuses all. me, most of all. i should have said something, put my foot down when it was apparent daddy wasn't breathing too well on his own. but no, i had to be an idiot who didn't know anything.
it's funny how i always took breathing for granted. despite the last couple of close shaves dad's had in the past, this is the first time he truly stopped breathing. sure, it's scary when your dad doesn't wake up, no matter how hard you shake him, but not seeing his chest move up and down is something else entirely. it might have been all of five seconds or so, but it stretched on forever, and the moment's still with me. not a good feeling, is all i can say.
at least he's okay now. when he came to, i told him about how much he scared the shit out of all of us, and this "who me?" look crept onto his face, and he had the decency to look a tad bit sheepish. "just keep breathing," i whispered as i kissed him before i left. inhale, hold, exhale. inhale, hold, exhale. and always hold on to hope.
there is no future. there is no past. thank god this moment's not the last.

i look down. it really was pathetic. the paper had faded, and there must have been an inch and a half of dust that solidified on the fragile surface. but as everyone who knows me can attest to this, i have letting-go-issues. i couldn't bring myself to junk the damned thing. this was the parol that almost killed me when i put it up during my first christmas here in the city, the same one that made my eyes all sparkly and glowy when i first threw the switch and saw how colorful it was. lotsa memories, that one. how could i toss it out just because it wasn't pretty anymore?
so naturally, i open my mouth and say something stupid (again). i can fix it.
3rd mom raises an eyebrow. you sure?
uh-huh. am sunshine supergirl. i can do ANYTHING. including give a parol a makeover.
*with the voice of the narrator from the sponge bob movie* five hours later...
i'm caked with dust. there are bits of foil paper and japanese paper and old crackled plastic all over the floor. i've managed to tint the marble a nice shade of electric purple too (from the jap paper that got wet from my water - i tried to cover it up with supplies, but 3rd mom saw right through the ploy). there is dried glue EVERYWHERE, including my hair. and i can't even start the damned project properly because not only did i forget to buy foil paper for the sides (don't ask), i'm not even sure if the parol even works anymore, and i'm too chickenshit to plug it in myself (i hate wires and the possibility of getting zapped). my mom takes one look at me in the midst of the mess i created, cracks up, and tells me how much easier it would be to just buy another parol.
what was that jenner said about me? about how my actions were determined by pride, spite, and something else?
well, spite just kicked it. the project may be put on hold (until my yaya makes sure the bulbs still work). and maybe i'm not too good at finishing things that i start. but screwitall, i'm going to make over this parol even if it's the end of me.
here's hoping i don't end up getting tetanus from the frame or something.

yummy krummy. yummy yummy yummy.
i am left slightly more incoherent and duh-ish by this one.
so so yummy!!!!

all in all, i was EXTREMELY happy with this adaptation. i HATED movie#3 with a passion (fricking anorexic werewolf, what was up with that, I ASK YOU?!?), and the first two were *shrug* okay na, i suppose. i don't really know what i was expecting with this (well, a cuter fleur and cho, maybe, but gotta admit, the chick who plays cho has a truly adorable accent). but this one was AWESOME, and i LOVED it (can you tell, what with the allcaps and all?). i still feel like they crammed an awful lot into the 2.5hour flick (my ass might be grateful for that, though, i started getting squirmy after the first hour and a half), and i kinda wished they were a little truer to the book and didn't leave out dobby and winky (i have a feeling they ran out of their cg budget - excellent job on the flying horses and the ship, though). it's the usual rant - the movie is hardly ever really the book (there are a few exceptions, but not enough). but then it hit me that a.) the movie might've run for like 5 hours if they did that, and b.) the book and the movie should complement each other and boost each other's sales. if everything in the book is in the movie, why bother reading it?
anyhoo. i'm PSYCHED for the dvd to come out. when it does, i'm going to play the durmstrang entrance over and over again (swoon!) and pausezoom it forever on krum's face.
chuck krum. it sounds awful, doesn't it? ah, the things we put up with just for our favorite eye candies.
