Fade

haha okay the title was intentional, but my love for lame chick flicks are fading. There are way to many adaptions of novels made into movies. New ones coming up from non-literature. The point is.... I think I am finally sick of chick flicks/movies. Well for some I have to make an exception because no doubt I would want to watch it. But I am reminding myself that I cannot possibly watch all. (I wanted to watch every.single.romcom no joke)

I just hate the endings of it. Its probably like a hangover except its felt on the inside. What is worse is that when you flip to the last page, you have to face reality again. And it keeps getting worse - like how all the chick flicks paint bad/mysterious guys as flawless. The hero/prince charming/boyfriend in the novels will always be perfect. Always. No matter what crooked, shady past he's been through it will always change when he meets her. And it keeps going downhill when you dream you can actually have that kind of perfect (totally fake) relationship in real life. I mean... life is the real deal.

Whoever thought of deluding girls with impossible hopes of finding love, popularity or whatever. They thought wrong. It shouldn't be so delusional. Yes we want to escape reality sometimes, but throwing impossibly perfect stories in our faces. Now that is too much really. But then again, there are some exceptions that I would make.

What am I really trying to say? We should know whats real and whats not. Thats all.

 

That is why, I am proud to say that I've been reading "Speeches that change the world" (well apart from my Bible of course). Some of the phrases in the speeches that has left me thinking:
"..wherefore your Creator loveth you much, seeing that He hath bestowed on you so many benefits; and therefore, my little sisters, beware of the sin of ingratitude, and study always to give praises unto God."

― St Francis



"I could hold my peace very well, if I did not think that holding my peace would make some men think that I did submit to the guilt as well as to the punishment"

― King Charles I
