Okay.

I'm in soup. And that's all I'll say about it at this point. (No no, nothing unhappy or serious whatsoever, just one of those self-realisations of stupid actions leading to stupid reactions)

Once again...

I never get tired of some movies. Considering I've the number of times I've watched them. A fifteen-year-old movie. I watched a year or so after it realised for the first time. And then several times in 2005. And have always gone back to it. Even blogged about it earlier. Again *spoiler alert*. There are so many wonderful layers to this movie: the multilingual, the religious, the feminist, the romantic above all the humanistic.

And even though I was only fourteen, I got tired of it. And imagine, the teacher was a nun. She had her good days but she was definitely not my favourite teacher. My second teacher and fourth were my favourites (first was my sister but I she may not remember that). Sadly, I do not play that instrument anymore. I can still read notes, recognise what people play etc. but I cannot play chords, scales and all those things. Maybe if I practice I can, but genuinely I cannot. I hope to get back to it when I live at home some day. But it is lower on my list of priorities.
