Badly Drawn Boy - Silent Sigh |
] |
Today I watched About A Boy for the 7th time or so, making my most watched film this year, it's on cable, but yeah, I'm more than convinced now, it must be one of the best films I've ever seen, I could watch it forever and ever...
So, hiya, I'm back! ^_^ I came back on Monday night actually, but I haven't had the chance to update until now, dunno but it always gets me sometime to settle down after being away from home for awhile. I actually shouldn't spend much time on this since everybody has to wake up like in one hour and a half and I just would like to see their faces when they caught me in the computer at 4, wouldn't be a problem usually but mom's been pretty sensitive lately about the whole sleeping thing. It's all my neighbors fault, huh.
So Easter week at my cousin was pretty fun, a really great time actually, I've gotten some pretty good memories from it and you know, it's been quite a long time since I genuinely enjoyed each and every day spent in that house, even if we didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just casual things with new twists. Fun times.
We ended up going to church less than I expected, we just went once in Saturday, and they were gonna go at Thursday but my aunt didn't felt so well. My cousin took me there that day so we wouldn't have to go on Sunday, his parents would go the other day, so we went unchaperoned which just turned the whole thing into a very fun experience, it's pretty obvious that he just doesn't take the mass seriously anymore, if he goes is out of respect of his parents and personal beliefs. I don't blame him, since you just see the worst of people in masses, like that day, there was a water blessing ceremony, and we took our bottles to the altar just to later find out that they had been knocked over by the tumult of people who rushed to get theirs by the end, leaving us with less than half-filled bottles. Ho-hum, Jesus must've been proud of these people :P
I'm always spiritually conflicted when I go there, it's just that they're very religious, my aunt and my uncle, and while they're not imposing it just bring me back memories when they were. And what I keep noticing is that people are still acting in a pretty religious way out of fear, of God or whatever. I had to read this book about the Passion on Friday on this ceremony they always do, and every 5 sentences it was mentioned that you have to "fear HIM" and "fear HIM", and I just can't believe people keep doing this, there's a huge difference between respect and fear. Whoever fears God can't possibly respect him... Actually, the priest of their community is somebody I really admire and that truly makes you wanna assist to mass just to listen to what he has to say, he's so open-minded and he'd never say any dogma BS about how things should be done, he's practical. Aw, he'd marry a same sex couple if he could! It's a shame that people don't seem to appreciate him that much, or worst, not listening to him.
Ah, and moving to another subject, we finished watching that not-pretentious nice-comedy, whose name would be impossibly to forget now, Rizelmine, which jumped from a good light comedy to a completely sexually charged comedy, which just made it better, not only gave it an edge but it's made it wittier, the situations were hilarious and sexually tense to the max while never for cheap vulgar tricks. it's not for everyone but it's the best of it's kind along with Golden Boy. Now, I wanted to see Angelic Layer, but alas, no time. ^_^
As for the other reason of my trip over there, which as bringing the new cooler to the compu's processor, it all worked fine! So far! Let's just hope it continuous this way! it's a blinking-lights one so it's all tripy, you should see the computer at night now, lol! Mmm, I still have to say, I just don't know how I'm gonna be able to pay Luis for all he's done, I hope I could. He even spoke to me about the possibility of buying us a dvd burner when he buys his own later this year... aw. He'd be an excellent father, someone should say that to him...
I think things just started to get heavy on Monday, when I suddenly felt horribly homesick, maybe it was because my cousin had to go early that day. That hasn't happened to me in awhile, and I just don't know, I started thinking of how it'd be if something would be wrong here and I being far away, and that's always made me feel bad about leaving home and stuff. It's awful... I shouldn't even think about things like that. Actually, things were rather good at home, dad was pretty responsible throughout the whole week, and the greatest news of all was that my brother had gotten a job, and hours job at a computer company for this month. I'm pretty happy since that should help him a lot, looking at how financially handicapped we're at the moment.
So, yeah, I'll wrap this up for now, I think I'm forgetting some stuff, but maybe I'll recall by tomorrow. I really missed y'all this past week, and I hope that you had a great Easter! :)
