This week can properly be summed up like this: work-work-work-movie-insomnia-work-work-very sad-very happy. Lol yeah, that's pretty much it. Now that it is Friday Night and I am sitting on my bed eating chocolate bars for dinner, I honestly don't know where and how all the time of a whole week go without me even realizing it.

                                               -----------------------------------------------

Received 4 of my rolls of film yesterday, and for some reason half of every rolls were missing. Initially I thout that it was because my photos were so blurry or ruined so the lab decided not to send them and so I got pretty depressed about it, I even wrote a sad sad post about it lol such a dramatic kid.

So it turned out that the photos just havent fully loaded yet. So lame. Anw I am pretty pleased with the result, not that my photos are unique or anything, it just happened to capture the moments I love so perfectly. Going through each photo remind me of how I first come here, the people I met, the things I saw and how I absorb all of it through my lens. The problem now is how to organize and upload all those photos since I have like 146 ones. Such first world problem.

Some of my friends said that since my blog has turned into some kind of movie review and more-public kind of thing, I have stopped sharing my overemotional and dramatic life here. Oh well, that's the price of being popular your know (ok I am kidding sorry..). So here goes, something I have learnt this week, just never ever expect anything from anyone or anything. The moment you start building imaginary scenes in you head, you also start drifting away from the true experience of it. No one will sit there waiting to be what you want in them. The only expectation you should have is from yourself.

Oh, and another thing I am working on: no judging, whatsoever, just don't judge. You never know a person enough to understand them, not to mention judging them. I am still very confuse about all this no-judging thing though. Yeah I think of stuff and at the same time fight myself for it. Meh.

WHAT I HAVE WATCHED:

1. Gravity:

I have just finished watching this movie but it was so incredible so I just have to let it out first (MY FEELS ALL MY FEELS)

I didn't want to watch it at first, have never been a fan of sci-fi movies, neither very fond of Oscar's winners, but I am so so so glad now that I watched it. One of the best movies I have ever watched. The film was about Ryan - an astronaut on her first space ride where she got in an accident and struggle to survive and find her way back to earth (Ugh don't even read my plot description, just watch the trailer or something).

It is a sci-fi movie and takes place in the space (duh), but I am sure that every single human on earth can relate to it. The movie raises questions and offers visions about life, human's willing to survive and going around that "life" concept. The acting was amazing (think about how they actually just act in front of the green screen), visual was excellent and the soundtrack was just simply perfect. There are many symbols and images that implied the evolution of human, and something even beyond human. I love the scene where Ryan finally made it to the station and she curled up in the form of a child in her mother's belly, such calming and soothing moment:

The way they direct the movie is very interesting as well, many long-shot and first-person-view to make it very surreal and intense. Man my words are never enough for this, you can read the perfect review here and please go have a watch of this movie for yourself, preferably in the big screen; one of those very rare movies that I wish I can go to the cinema and watch it.

2. Blue Is The Warmest Colour:

I have been waiting for this movie for quite a while, don't know why but I was just very hooked when I saw the poster and then realized that Lea the goddess is in it. Finally got to watch it thanks to the Lord Internet.

The movie is about Adele, a high school girl fall in love with Emma - a blue-haired university student and then their love grow and die. It is quite long compared to normal movie (nearly three hours) and the acting of two lead actresses is really fantastic and very emotional. I can kinda understand why it is so successful but it still lacks something to me, I felt the same with The Silver Lining for being the idiot not liking the movie even when I loved the acting in it. The lengthy and exposed homo sex scenes are not as disturbing as I thought it would be, but oh well the movie is simply not my cup of tea I guess.

3. Girl, Interrupted:

Found the song "How To Fight Loneliness" by Wilco from 8tracks a while ago and then found out that it was "Girl, Interrupted" soundtrack. I watched the trailer and learnt that it was about girls in a mental ward so it properly something I would love muhaha.

Honestly I don't know how I feel about it. I mean, having Angelina Jolie and Wionna Rider in a movie guarantee that it is a good movie. And it is. But I don't understand what the film want to deliver to the audience though? The acting is great, the plot is crazy and about literally crazy people, it has the perfect elements to be my favourite fucked-up movies. It's like when you see something and you want to like it but you just don't. Ugh.

Woo hoo just realized that all of those movies above have female as the strong lead characters yayyy

SONG FOR THE WEEK:

Re-listening to a lot of post-rock this week, mostly from Te's mixtapes. If you don't know what post-rock is, try it sometimes when you are alone and need to find peace. Here is the first song that brings me to post rock, still my ultimate favourite of all time. And this is the song I want to introduce to you this week, same band:
