Watched Nodame Cantabile last night. Watched Alice in Wonderland a week ago. I didn't really blog about it because I felt that it was 'just' another movie outing that I went to. Guess I was wrong. There is this theme that stretches across both, this idea of trancendence. As if the reality one person believes in is a fantasy to another, and that nothing really lasts. Nodame Cantabile was jaw-numbingly hilarious, but I feel sad for Nodame. The feeling of Nodame that Chiaki leaving her because he is just so much better... I think falling in love with your idol is dumb. Especially if that person is way better than you at whatever field you wish to specialise in. Sure, you are encouraged to dream, but sometimes, if you aim way off (think Pluto), I think some serious heartache is likely to occur. For me, I think an idol will always be an idol. And I'd idolise someone for having characteristics that I don't. More than anything, I admire people who are honestly kind and gentle. Its something that is more difficult than attaining a perfect GPA in these scheming times! As for Alice, the only thing I can say about the movie as that it was melancholic. The sense of loss throughout the entire movie was rather pervasive, and there was this idea that you'd wake up and everything would be over. That is great if you're in a nightmare, but if it was something good, you'd essentially be missing out on the time of your life. Which, I think would be utterly depressing. Those in Wonderand would really miss Alice I think, especially now that she returned after such an extended period of time, only to forget them all, and now that she has just remembered them, to leave and never return again. ARGH. I'd be moping around for WEEKS.

Hmm. I just remebered something. A poem by rudyard Kipling entitled 'If'. In a way, its a wee bit relevant to what I've just typed, although I think it can serve as a reminder for all of us in times both good and bad to persevere and work hard! Its quite easy to find the poem, so I shall not post it here. Its already on my Tumblr, so you can read it there if you're too lazy to Google it. (Since when has Google become an adverb?)

OH YEAH. Maybe you'd think that I have this annoying habit of exaggerating and trying to squeeze meaning out of every insignificant little thing that occurs in my life. Maybe I do and maybe I don't. All I can say is that there are probably another million blogs out there, and you could go read something else? I don't see a need to torture poor innocent souls with my holier than thou attitude. If you think I have one that is, because I think I don't. More veidence that I have a personality flaw I suppose? Then again, who doesn't have a couple of flaws? I'm not GOD.

Its now Week 11. The end of Week 11. Cheer competition this Staurday. Dance concert soon. Calligraphy classes every Saturday. I need to prepare for cosplay stuff too.  I think I'm prepared to slog my guts, lungs, intestines and heart out. Its not like I have any other choice now, do I? Everything comes down to this 2 weeks. 4 presentations. Numerous reports. Papers to be written. Administrative stuff to take care of. SIGH. I need a body double.
