Is one of the best films ever made and produced. It is such a visual treat and a fairy tale that both kids and adults would adore. Well, adults most probably would love it better than kids.

Helena was and is wonderful. With such a pretty face and accent to die for, I would go back again and again to watch this movie for her. She was the star of this film and look at her? Who wouldn't fall in love with her in this movie?

And the visuals and the animation and the production design and the - ok, ok. I know you get it. Just watch it and rave with me.
My support group (a.k.a the people I consider my closest friends here in the land of where I am currently staying) and I are drifting apart.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why I am feeling down. Aside from some million other things that's in my mind, that's probably one thing that's standing out.
Somehow, I already learned to lean on these guys during the past months when I was still in my adjusting period and right now, when everything seems to fall into place with them - I am left stranded. It might just be me, feeling this way but - hey, it's what I feel.
I just don't get it. I really just don't. When I thought that we'll always be there for each other as we always said, suddenly - we're not. Well, maybe - it's just that we really have to go through our lives without relying too much on other people. It's probably just because we need to fend for ourselves every single day of our lives. Alone.
Sure, no man is an island as the saying goes - but you would still have to stand on your own without having other people support every single step that you make. It's still going to be just you in the end. You might have friends, family, acquaintances, but in the end - when you have to make decisions and you have to realize things, you will be doing that on your own.
So maybe - I really don't have to be feeling this down with my support group. Because as it turns out - they may be not be the "support" I would really need.
Sorry. I don't think I should be bashing them like this just because I could feel that we are drifting apart. I have to understand as well that they have their own lives to live and I have mine as well to worry about. I just - I just, well, I feel stranded like I said. And alone. Like I have no one to talk to or turn to like I usually did before.
Oh well... I hope this passes. I'm sure it will. It might just be a phase and we'll all be ok once more.
INSANITY
The mind playing tricks on me
Visions of perfection blurs my way.
How can I know the truth
When everything seems to lie?
Tell me how.
The world. Beautiful to you
Ensnares you, enslaves you
And yet all of these are just facades.
Faces. Tempting.
Sinister lies.
Weep with me. Feel my sorrow.
But never come near me
For I am not really here.
Fear me. My soul is asking,
Grasping for you.
I travel a path no one else dared to take
A path so dark and yet ends in light.
Music pounds in my ear
Freeing me from bondage.
Of what? I never can tell.
Help me. Move with me.
I do not have to lose it all.
Leave me. Something.
Anything.
Just make it go away.
Away.

Rent. Different people. Different lives. Different stories. Same dilemmas.
Just watched it this afternoon. Made me cry. Made me realize how life is short and you have to live it to the fullest. Made me see how blessed I am and so are other people. Made me grateful for the life that I have regardless of all the problems I most of the time face.
I would recommend it to anyone. I wonder if the original musical play is as marvelous as the film. They say it's better. When they play it again here at NoHo Arts District, I would definitely not let it pass. Even if the ticket prices are overwhelming.
