i suppose it is only normal for someone to seek consolation from the ones closest to them when they are feeling troubled by their problems. and i also suppose it is selfish for me to feel frustrated when that special someone in my life comes to me for consolation and support. oh dont get me wrong, i can be as consoling and as supportive as any girl can be, but that only applies to everyone else other than that special someone. i expect my special someone to be iron strong, to be a solid bedrock on which i, a fickle layer of sand, rest upon. in a way i have set my self up for disaster in my love life. even if i ever find someone like that he will be a chauvinistic ass who will dictate every aspect of my life and have zilch tolerance for my many tantrums and silly mood swings. on the other hand, someone who can tolerate all the above might be too given to emotions; you have to be pretty damn feeling sort of person to handle my silliness with aplomb, and hence not solid enough a man for me. now you see what i mean about setting myself up for disaster? trust me, i have no illusions about who i am, and how i look. i am not a good girl, neither am i a goodlooker, i guess i am just looking for that someone who loves me enough to be everything i ask for. that might be near impossible.
so i suppose i ought to compromise. i am no queen, but i believe i should be treated like a princess \: if you love me, then strive to morph into that man i want, and you will find i'm most agreeable, loving, docile lady you've ever had. learn how to handle me, and trust me, i'll purr for you.
alright babyyy?

we caught rocky balboa last night, for the only reason that it was the only movie we have not watched, and GV doesn't do ticket refunds.
coming from someone who's had a long day at school and after school, all i really wanted was something mind-numbing, like EPIC MOVIE...but i heard it crashed and burnt so they're not screening it in theatres anymore.
i ended up enjoying the rocky finale immensely! did you know the movie was directed and written by stallone himself? there was an old-world charm about the whole film, all the way from the beginning, how the movie began, till the end, even how the credits rolled. i was impressed (though i must say i am easily impressed) at how i could hear every single word stallone said without any help from the chinese subtitles!
that aside, the movie was about growing old. it depicts rocky's life after his prime, and how he struggles to make a last stand against old age. rocky balboa has 'stuff left in basement', a beast he needs to unleash on the world one last time before he could sit down and accept that he was growing old. you cannot help but see the parallels in stallone's life. he was known only for his role as Rocky, and he too was not awarded recognition as an actor, needless to say his other hidden talents. i suppose with old age catching up on him, he decided to make one last stand against the world, to let other know he could hold his own as an actor, as an director, even as a writer. i dont know about the others who caught the movie, but i think the result is commendable. as cliche as the movie dialogue was, i emerged from the theatre inspired by what he (stallone and ROCKY) achieved.
it has me thinking, i too will retire of Youth with a bang, and sail into Old Age with my head up high, knowing i have given all in the fight to make something out of my life while i am young and frisky....
