We conquered a theater full of squealing, shrieking girls!LOL
Ok, the last line may be a tad exaggerated–they weren’t exactly shrieking, but on the verge of doing so. LOL My movie date and I went to the first day screening of Twilight, the movie adapted from the book of the same title by Stephenie Meyer (like duh, as if nobody knows about it,hehe!).
Let me just say this–let us all remember that a movie adaptation will always be different from the book, no matter what. Movies and books are two very different mediums of entertainment. Our ideas and imagery of the characters, the places, the plots that took place and everything else concerning what we read will always, always be different from what we see in the movie because the former is subjective to how we see it in our minds–you have your own picture, I have mine. Am I saying I was disappointed with the flick? I’d like to keep my thoughts to myself for now. Still, please do see the film, my opinions after all, just my opinions. I’m very sure you have your own.
When I think of how long we've been married, I still somehow get blown away. Where did all the time go? It flew by just like that. I guess when two people really love each other, time is something we don't really think about anymore because you think, you feel, you know that time is irrelevant with what we have.
I can't say I've known him all my life nor do I claim him to be my best friend. Stories like that are referenced under fiction/fairy tales (I'll let you believe your story), and our story is as real as real can get. In the five years that we've been married, and the eight that I've known Hamza, I can honestly say that we've gone through a whole lot of ups and downs, twists and turns, bumps and potholes in this ride called marriage. Still we've endured them and come out on top. I'm thankful to Allah (swt) for giving me someone who's like him. We complement each other with our differences, we enhance our similarities together. I don't think I can picture myself with anyone else but him. He's my other half as I am his. That's how simple it is.
So I was browsing profiles on a lazy Friday afternoon when I saw some photo collages and face morphs. I thought I’d go do some celebrity look-alikes and celeb face morphs of my own on MyHeritage since I wasn’t really anything productive today and I haven’t done that in awhile. Just for fun, and it’s not like I really post them on my pro’,…
Surprise, surprise!
I never thought I resembled someone’s mom on FS (Friendster).
Which is which?
Dang it.
Missy be needing an explanation.
Stupid of me not to recognize a celeb.
But it’s not like I’m Malaysian, so there.
(who do I resemble the most? that's her so-called 'mother'.)
Well, I really shouldn't be so surprised. After all, she did lifted some lines from one of my blog posts on Friendster (the entry about me missing Marawi City); it was too much of a coincidence how we both happen to miss the exact same things, down to the description of the food to the places where we hang out and how the weather darkens my skin. Char. As if we both live the same lives.
I'm on to you now. But I'll let you keep playing your game.
It has already been two (or three) days since the recently ended US Presidential Elections, and I am still feeling the buzz of President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama's victory over Sen. John McCain. For months we have been fed with update after update from their nominations to their respective parties as candidates, their campaigns, debates, controversies, personal lives, the campaign for the seat, the actual election, and then Obama's victory and McCain's concession. I quietly celebrated his win as I am not an American, nor do I live in the land of opportunity, but to me, President-Elect Obama's victory does signify a want for a better world. And while I respect Senator McCain with his vast experience and tenure in the political arena, I felt a bit anxious that if he had won, he would be like President Bush who has made blunder after blunder with his corrupt ways and narrow-mindedness, and continue to wage war and whatever else it is that his would have been predecessor had done. I do commend him though, for having conceded in the most gentlemanly fashion and respecting the outcome of the election. Kudos to you, Mister Senator.
With the economic crises USA has been experiencing lately and quite short tenure in in politics (just in comparison to McCain's, okay) , I think Senator Obama has quite a lot on his shoulders when transition takes place on January 20 next year (2009). President Bush has certainly left him with a big mess. Sorry, I'm really not a fan of that redneck, same goes to his father when he was president back in the nineties. :P I guess America has grown tired of their old ways, and they knew what options they had there. I say they chose wisely. And with Democrats taking majority of the seats in the Senate and the House, Pres. Obama will probably be getting a lot of help too.
President-Elect Obama's win against Senator McCain is an historic event for America and the rest of the world that our generation is able to witness. It was a David and Goliath battle of sorts, and David came on top. An African American winning the top political seat of the country, of the world probably, is not just some small feat--it is an achievement, an event not to be missed considering their history. When I think of that, I feel overwhelmed, jubilant and privileged to have been part of this age that doing the impossible is possible. Perhaps the people felt that change has come. This turn of event has given me hope that good things could still happen in spite of difficulties and turmoil. May this experience cause a chain of positive reactions, not only for America, but for the rest of the world.
