fairytale?

excerpt taken from online synopsis:

this is a story of boy meets girl. the boy, tom hansen of margate, new jersey, grew up believing that he would never truly be happy until the day he met the one. this belief stemmed from early exposure to sad british pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie ‘the graduate’. the girl, summer finn of shinnecock, michigan, did not share this belief. since the disintegration of her parents' marriage she had only loved two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. tom meets summer on january 8th. he knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. this is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.


(500) days of summer; one of my favorite movies.

screen shots collage from my own collection. i forgot where i got this from. XD

this movie makes me ponder a little bit. it is quite a clever way of indirectly telling all of us that things might not be what we think it would be even if it seemed right to us. sometimes fate plays a big prank, or rather we should probably believe in destiny(as cliche as it could be) itself. in fact, everybody who happened to be in our lifetime(or not) plays a role whether we acknowledge it or not. a book, 'the five people you meet in heaven' by mitch albom, is a very enlightening story, to me. it touches me in a way that i couldnt have realized that all these while i might have just pass through people without realizing that the person would have been a crucial part of my life the very next second.

love isnt perfect. it isnt a fairytale or a storybook and it doesnt always come easily. love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. it is a short word, easy to spell difficult to define and impossible to live without.



cherish, treasure,love...
