Watched "La tigre e la neve" last night at vivocity.
nice, idealistic-type movie =)
at first found attilio such a loser- pathetic, geeky, despo, lustful - although his geekiness and humour is very endearing, and he seems to be a great lecturer.
but when i found that the "lust" was love, and the desperation was devotion and committment, wow, what a man.
Even his strange compulsion to strip into his pure white undies hanging off his skinny frame is forgiven.
VIVOCITY
nothing much wat... just another shopping mall. with REALLY bad maintenance service. i was really surprised at how badly maintained the toilets were. smeared seats, wet floors, many cubicles and sinks under repair, and even graffiti already.
sadly, it's true. we're a clean city only because we pay ppl to clean up. left on our own, every inch of our country will turn out to be like...my staffroom table.
but that aside, i enjoyed myself, and...
I AM HAPPY
some simple things i haven't done in such a long time.
Like...just shopping at a mall. It was a nice feeling, no worries, nothing pressing to do, not broke, feeling healthy, happy, no unhappiness with anyone in the world, no pressures, no fears. Just simply enjoying, yet not in the empty way, like i've gotta shop and splurge to drown my sorrows or gorge and watch movies to escape darkness and coldness.
it was the niceness of seeing things, walking and talking with munch, and we both aren't thinking about students' problems and school and lessons, and knowing that we have 2 months ahead to slowly enjoy life together like that.
it was the niceness of buying sweaters together, and trying out winter clothes together, imagining the fun times together, and, even if not fun, simply the times together.
And this morning i am happy too. when i went for my walk. i am happy to have the time to smell the fresh, cool morning air, the time to pray and talk to God about stuff, the time to get on the swing and feel the breeze in my hair, to make up names for dogs i meet along the way, to make up life-stories for the people i meet along the way.
i am happy. =)
Even in times of trouble, God's given me joy that sticks, and i am thankful.
And sometimes, there ain't no trouble, and everything is just peachy and i'm not in a rush, i feel happy, and i like that too! =) it's like the whipcream on an ultimate ice-blend.
