How My One Week Looked Like

Posted by yanilea |


This I've been doing for a week and it seems to prolong the boredom I feel in life right now. My life is so scheduled and repetitive in which I definitely dislike. At 5:40 am I would wake up, take a shower, get dressed, and prepare for breakfast. Before 7:00 am, I walk 50 meters and reach a road and ride a vehicle to the office. At the office, I sit down and work, work, work till 3:00 pm strikes. And my work? It's the never ending compilation of porn materials, who would be happy at the thought of it? Unless you're a porn addict, this project would thrill you. As for me, I kinda want to protest about it .After duty, I'd go ahead back to home, boarding house actually but I'd prefer to call it a home. In one weeks time I almost memorize the banners and streamers along the way. Arriving home alone, I’d open the gate and welcome myself in. I'd sit for a while and decide to listen to music. Sometimes I'd nap and wake up at 4:30 - 5:00 pm. But that is rare to happen, when I'm not sleeping, I immediately go for a drink (milk) and prepare for supper, I eat supper around 5:30 to 6:00 pm. After fixing the kitchen, I'd fix myself, washing my face and all the stuff a woman do following her daily regimen. After that? It's too early to go to bed, sometimes I do laundry and scrub the floor. When nothing is left to do, I would lie down and read a novel. Thanks to a friend who happily lends her books to me. And then my housemate would arrive also from their work, tired. We would chat for a while and get back to scanning the book I'm reading ,until I became drowsy and feel asleep. But before that I would prepare my bag for morrows work. I would wake up tomorrow with the same flow of scenes. Till one day while walking for home I was telling myself. This is so boring and so predictable. Isn't it wrong to pray for challenges to come along? I feel so static. I want something new. I want some action in my life, something thrilling, suspense and mixed with drama. I want to worry sometimes, to think about something. “God, is it wrong to ask some changes in my life?”

Cinema Paradiso

Posted by yanilea |

I cannot forget how the movie 'Cinema Paradiso' left a remarkable influence in my life.Since the day I got to watched it, I become so delighted about its story and its protagonist and the love of his love. The movie opened up my mind and wondered if true love does really exist.The movie exemplifies about the necessity to let go of the past.The protagonist wouldn't know how to let go. He is unfortunately trapped from the past.Even though he became so wealthy and all his material needs are meet,sadness can be glimpse at his face. Almost all pretty women would run after him but this does not satisfies him.After learning that his first love is married to his bestfriend, he soon realized that he need to get a life and start a new one.It's true that first love is hard to forget and it's impossible to forget them either but it's crazy to wait and expect for the old flame to come back. We need to get up from our feet so we can recover and be whole again. Back to the movie, I suggest you watch it, it will really move you. It is a 1988 film and it centers about love, friendship, family, art (making of movies). It won an Oscar Award of Best Foreign Language Film, Best Film,Best Music, Actor of the Year on 1991 and among other awards.

A guy named 'Another Pain'

Posted by yanilea |

There is a guy I named 'another pain'. It is only I who knows this since I never
shared it to anyone. Let's say I have had a bad experience in lovelife a year ago,a heartbreaking letting go of someone. And after a while I finally give in into falling in love again (not that deep kind of feeling, it was just an attraction maybe) to a guy named 'another pain'.I named him that way simply because I can feel that he is another pain or who would just add pains maybe because he cannot love me back.
Anyway, I'm not asking him for that.That's too much.
There are so many another pains in the world. They are everywhere, unstoppable and their number continues to grow. The more another pain, the more tears to flow. LOL

Many Thanks To You
