jatuh dan lumpuh.
semalam aku jatuh, tapi aku tak lumpuh,
hari ni aku lumpuh walau aku tak jatuh,
esok aku harap aku tak jatuh dan juga tak lumpuh.
window
i looked out of the window,
there's no star on the night sky,
but how do i see a twinkling lights on the sky?
is it you that I'm looking at?
are you smiling upon me?
somehow i wished i'm your star,
and you're the one looking out from the window,
but it'll never be,
as that fated night,
you jumped off the window.

50/50
So the other day I watched 50/50, a 2011 movie starring my Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston and many more.
It is an honest, good light-hearted movie with sprinkling of humor everywhere supplied wonderfully by the main characters, Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his bff Kyle(Seth Rogen) who is obsessed of getting laid.
Seth Rogen is very good here, playing Kyle with expressive-aggressive type of friend to Adam but beneath it all, all he wanted to do was to be there for Adam. such relationship between friends is beautiful.
This movie is based on a true story of it's very own writer and I'm such a sucker for true story turns to films. Definitely this movie has been on my radar since I watched the trailers.
The main theme of the story is how a young man, aged 27 who discovered that he had a rare type of spinal cancer and what follows is how he rebounds and discovers what is the important things in his life that he never pays any attention to before.
It's poignant at certain times, made you think of what could be and made you think that every little things you do does affect other people.
Even a simple hi or hello and small little talks with your parents or your loved ones could make a difference.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt once again effortlessly nailed his character, where he displayed such a range of emotions of Adam.
When he hurts, you feel it and cry with him.
When he smiles, you smile back at him(read: at the laptop's screen).
He earnestly embodies the character of Adam, it's like there is Adam in your world and you wished you know him to help him get through of this together.
In much simpler words, honesty. Yes, the honesty that he brings to the performance is much deserving of a high praise.
The rest of the cast also did well and delivered.
Overall, such a good movie and one to be re watched multiple time, anytime soon.
A conversation between Adam and Katherine;
Adam: I wished you were my girlfriend.
Katherine: Girlfriends can be nice, you just had a bad one.
Adam: I bet you'd be a good one
Ain't that sweet?

he is.
a joker. Batman is overrated.
a painter. He paints colors to her monotonous life.
a dreamer. He dreams to reach the stars, or else a handful of clouds.
an open book. Easy to read and takes note of.
a gentle man. Holding her hands is like rocket science to him.
a lonely man. Before he found her that is.
a poet. A bundle of his letters in her closet is enough of a proof.
a hero. For all the time he protects her.
a John Lennon. And she is his Yoko Ono.
clumsy. When he stumbles upon her and falls in her arm.
an insider. He knows her dirty little secrets.
a pillar. For her to lean on.
a seeker. She could never be lost with him.
a sun. the center of her rotating life.
a breather. Her safe haven that is.
a river. He flows inside of her.
undeniable. As she think it’s wicked to deny his gravitas.
a firework. Her love to him is a celebration itself.
a believer. Of their love.
dedicated to Abah n Ma. for the love they shared.
reminiscing.
I'm no socialist.
I'm never a storyteller.
and I always wonder how my late father was always able to strike up conversations with just anyone. a passing by stranger, a cashier, a teacher, a nurse, a cleaner , everyone. you name it. and truthfully, I envied this quality about him. I'm not one with the ability to open up or starting out a conversation with just anyone if I'm in no desperation to do so.

have you ever listen to any songs and you feel light, like you've been transported to other place?
your imagination starts being tricky and you imagined, pictured all sort of things with all kind of feelings.
