And then I decided..
I still haven't finished my readings...looks like I'll have to sleep late again tonight...however, I just cannot resist the urge to blog (due to not having blog for such a long time...there's just too much to tell..)1) I relaxed yesterday ^__^
Went to Brentwood Mall afterschool to meet sis/dad for a family dinner...I did some shopping (meaningly: 2 pairs of shoes --> addidas runners + le chateau high heel...I'm pretty happy w/ these since I've been wanting to buy and budgeting for both of these for sometimes ..so pat on the back for me)
We went to family dinner w/ one of my dad's business friends who was super kind to bring me and my sis cell phones from China as presents lol~(thu I already have one and like mine more than that ...but still I'm so amazed by how much ppl are willing to give up for business haha & I definitely wonder if I would do the same things in the future....)
The day ended w/ me watching (and namely sleeping my way thru) Dracula 1992 and Dracula 2000 on Space Channel. Not that they're not interesting...just I'm way too tired..
In fact Dracula 1992 was actually quite interesting, due to beautiful KEANU REEVES & Winona Ryder, beautiful dresses, acceptable Dracula and romantic plot...I never knew Dracula is a romanian duke and knight in the fourteenth century, fighting for the church. He only became a vampire to see his love* again (*his love (played by Winona Ryder) thought he died in battle and thus commited suicide). And so as the plot goes...Dracula finds his love 4 centuries later and attempt to take her w/ him, despite her present fiance (Keanu Reeves). Anyhow, a tragedy...and Dracula was slained, but wow...I actually appreciated the film...it reminded me so much of Lit12 where we studied (beginning?) Romantic Era novels (Frankenstein & Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde which I read and Dracula which I never read)...it really is a romantic but gothic novel ...not just the love elements ....but also the great contrast between science and unexplainables..the battles to be fought w/ nature..the fantasy which explores human imagination....altogether making the piece such a beauty!!
So...when it came to Dracula 2000...gosh..what an awful movie by contrast T____T...first..I just can't believe Dracula = Juda Iscariot Q___Q (that fact just makes me scream...the way the plot/script is altered entirely makes this beautiful romantic era literature loses meaning)...And then...Dracula wants to be w/ his own daughter (I was really swearing by this point......it's just too grouse to imagine ack~)
So by the end of the two movies...althu tired, I was so pist..I just cant sleep anymore lol~ And so I spent some hours dwidling here and there...I even changed my self-pic on my facebook lol~ And finally (realizing it's 3AM...I literally forced myself to bed in order to get up in the morning for BMP orientation lol)
2) And then...watching Dracula reminds me of my dream :)
In the movie ..Dracula is the girl's lover from past life.....and the girl will continuously dream about her past life and Dracula...until she finally meets Dracula....this makes me think about past life in general...in fact, I do believe in past life b/c how else can anyone explain why and how some dreams are just so clear, so repetitious and so touching...but at the same time so unexplanable...
I used to have this dream (well actually more than one dream....but they all connect together) all the time...medieval ....europe...queen....dukes...prince....chosen bride...escape...nights...full moon...(sounds almost like a fairy tale)....thu they all connect together..I never seems to wake up and remember the full details.....
But what catches me the most is that....there will always be this scene (I call it scene now..since it's almost like a play to me) where it's a full moon night....I'm sitting on an open grass field and staring at the moon....I look really young....possibly 15 or 16....on me...there's colorful medieval clothing w/ precious gems and beads....Far away walks near someone of power (possibly a prince/duke?) w/ black cloak ...he speaks to his followers..giving instructions....they leave...he takes a few more steps toward me....stops and watches me..... his eyes sparkling in the moon light....I turn my head ....see him and smile joyfully...
Then I would wake up....I would never remember his face....but only his figure and his eyes...but I would always feel like crying upon waking up....Sometimes I really wanto know what happened afterward....(if I'm so happy in the dream...why would I be so sad after I wake up??) When ever I have this dream...I would always be depressed for a few days....but now althu I'm so anxious to know what happened...I'm actually pretty glad I haven't had the dream for sometime (mainly b/c I'm too tired to have dreams lol~~)
3) At BMP orientation today....we did a team-building what not game...where we had to find about 12 items around campus....(i.e. U-Pass, license ...not super hard...) But what surprised me was...we had to find a family photo....and amazingly no one NO ONE (out of like 30 ppl ) actually keep family photo in their wallet or even w/ them....not even me....
This just came by me by surprise...and makes me think Sociology...what's happening to our society really?? Is family relations starting to degrade so much that even university students (most likely from less problematic families) don't even value family relations anymore....? Thu this is a hard question to dissect...but this idea made me realize the importance of family....and the meaning of having a family photo w/ me always.....So I decided ..from now on..I shall put a family photo in my wallet lol~
4) Talking about family photo also made me realize....man..I miss my mom >.< and she won't be back till like 2 weeks later ( so after my finals).... Tears****
Anyhow...I am rily gonna go study..or else...I would die...I really do wonder if I'll be able to sleep at all tonite....trying to finish the gigantic amount of readings.....(tears*)
Stupid readings....if it's not b/c of them...I could have gone to 1) fireworks w/ my family 2) concert w/ highschool friends ....:P
