delusion

there are two videos i can hardly bring myself to look at again. one was the embarrassing video of a poorly choreographed graduation dance presentation and the other is my department's entry to the the 2008 csm week film competition. we were juniors that time and it was directed by my batch mate and most of the cast were from my batch as well. it actually has an interesting story line if one could piece the frames together but there is just something ridiculously funny about seeing your friends, whom you've joked and laughed and fooled around with for a good three years, try to act in a drama. i mean, i just can't take them seriously i couldn't watch a scene without laughing my head off :)) and i believe the ONLY time i've seen it from intro to credits was when sandy showed it to me before submitting it to the committee. i remember i wasn't able to watch the screening because we had a game against bio the afternoon it was screened.

my wardrobe was hideous! i mean, the skirt was a little too long but okay, the t-shirt was weird, but the bag was totally hideous :)) and the hair! ugh! couldn't we have put it down or at least put it up in a proper pony tail? i'm so embarrassed with myself haha.

but at least i get to hear karl's piano composition again even though it was poorly recorded and not mentioned in the credits. it was, i believe, called "sunflower" and karl would play it in the octava's grand piano while passing the time until our next class.

somehow i remembered the film today after talking with frankie so i downloaded it from his playlist for the sake of having my own copy even if i couldn't watch it properly haha.

perhaps love (john denver)

[Spring Cleaning: Vid2012]

               G                  Bm
Perhaps love is like a resting place
    C                        D
A shelter from the storm
     G                         Am
It exists to give you comfort
     C                 D
It's there to keep you warm
    Em                 Bm
And in those times of trouble
     C              D
When you are most alone
    C         D                             G      Gsus4
The memory of love will bring you home
        G              Bm
Perhaps love is like a window
 C                D
Perhaps an open door
     G                Am
It invites you to come closer
     C                 D
It wants to show you more
    Em                 Bm
And even if you lose yourself
     C              D
And don't know what to do
    C         D                   G
The memory of love will see you through

        Bm              Em
   Oh ! Love to some is like a cloud
      C                D            G
   To some as strong as steel
       Bm            Em
   For some a way of living
       C            D           G
   For some a way to feel
       Bm                Em
   And some say love is holding on
       C                 G
   And some say letting go
       Bm                         Em
   And some say love is everything
   C                              D
   Some say they don't know
G                  Bm
Perhaps love is like the ocean
C                                     D
Full of conflicts, full of pain
G                               Bm
Like a fire when it's cold outside
 C                         D
Thunder when it rains
    Em                    Bm
If I should live forever
       C                             D
And all my dreams come true
      C              D                       G
My memory of love will be of you

プライド

i tried filming but i guess i pushed my luck too hard since i just learned how to balance and glide. i did an uncalled for (but totally awesome!) 360 degree turn and all i could think about was "oh no, the phone!". hahaha. i woke up this morning and i have cramps all over my body and bruises on my knees and palms. but it was worth all the fun. yeah!

i realized the fun in skating really starts the moment you stop checking your feet and you stop thinking where your feet should go next and just lose yourself in the glide :)
