GIA



I thought Girl, Interrupted was Jolie's most brilliant work to date. 
Boy I was wrong. 

On previous night, I stumbled across this movie called Gia on HBO. It was near my beauty-sleep so I didn't watch it seriously. But as the movie rolling, I was intrigued.
The movie based on true story about Gia Carangi (1960 - 1986) whose success and troubles flew as high as kite. People believed that she was the first model who crowned as "supermodel", considering her walks in famous designer's runaway and covers of many fashion magazines. Her true beauty was inversely to her personal trouble. She was young, fragile, and lonely. She finally hit the rock bottom before became an addict... and later died on age 26 because of AIDS. The disease that considered "taboo" at that time. Even doctors and nurses wore what we called as "space suit" when examined her.

Angelina Jolie was literally an unknown actress. But her acting really knocked me out of bed to watch her all night till the movie finished. Gia was an open lesbian (bisexual for that matters) and Jolie played her role INSANELY good (she earned Golden Globe for the role). 
I'm not going to spoil the movie more, cos I think you have to watch it by yourself. You'll realize how good it is. I admire Jolie, but I bow down for Gia... Whose life inspired us to love and respect ourselves more than anything. Because if it's not us, who will?

Dearest,  We both know that we've been through some major ups and downs. There were those hard times when we didn't look each other's eyes.. But also there were those happier times when we laughed together and hugged each other very tight. Sorry cos I haven't make you proud.. :( But that doesn't mean I love you any less.  Deep down inside I'll always be your little girl. Thank you for being the best Dad in the world.. You've no idea how much I love and adore you. Happy birthday! GBU abundantly xoxo

tied the knot

The Groom with all the best-men Happy boy happy couple current mood : *sigh* Finally, after the very long waiting and preparation since LAST YE AR week, my brother tied the knot with girl of his dream. They held a morning ceremony at Cathedral Church and then thrown a party later that night at Grand Eastern. I was having a blast, yet exhausted, and starved and weary and all! Since I didn't catch enough time to eat something, and were busy buzzing around the ballroom, cos my friends were all there and I've some duties to do. Well, now the party's over and it's time to "renew" the life. Cos life will never be the same. Brother, sister, I hope your love will last forever, no more assault, no more violence, just PEACE. Don't ever lean on to someone else, cos since yesterday, two became ONE. Just like the priest said, you both have to received each other the way they are, and blend each personality as one. Married life isn't going to be easy (LIKE I KNOW.L
