You know when I said I knew little about love, that wasn't true. I know a lot about love, I've seen it, seen centuries and centuries of it. It was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars, pain and lies, hate made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves... you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional, but i also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable... and strangely easy to mistake for loathing. So what I'm trying to say Tristian, is... I think I love you. My heart... it feels like my chest could barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me anymore, it belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange. No gifts, no goods, no demonstrations in devotions, nothing but knowing you love me too. Just your heart... in exchange of mine.
- Yvaine in Stardust (Movie)
I've started reading the book Stardust after watching the movie online :) I thought the movie was pretty good so do catch it if you're free! The story plot in the book is much more detailed I guess, but I haven't really gone past the beginning of the book so I can't really comment on the book lol.
But I'm really a huge sucker for spoilers, so I read the ending and realised Tristian died and Yvaine continued ruling the kingdom of Stronghold ): He died! In the movie they both used the Babylon candle to be stars forever and ever and all that. Booo. Ah well.
I'm in the whole love thing mode right now, especially after reading a particular guy's blog (I mentioned him in the other posts I think) again and after hearing the news of a special friend that just got attached. And how she got attached actually. Sweet as Fuji apples xD Anyway he's just a role model. And I'm guessing lots of other people don't know which is which and who is who I'm referring to lol.
OH YES EASTER DRAMA WAS FAB! It's a nice refreshing change to be part of the audience this time round and watch the rest of the dramatists perform :) And I've got pretty good seats near (or rather at) the front! I think what really touched me the most was the last scene where Silas was attempting to revive Carmen... the fatherly love, the helplessness, the hurt, the shock, the relief, the joy, it all really poured out. It was like he was going through a million different emotions and pulled it all off at the same time :)
And PTL seriously, I had a last minute confirmation from a friend and she's coming for the Easter service tmr :D I'm really glad and excited (I think Yun and Mag can testify for that HAHAHA) so I'm gonna pray that everything goes well. After all, I can't rely on my own strength when it is Him who had given me an opportunity to touch another's life :) It's really so amazing how God can open up doors that Man cannot shut in a quirky and funny way. A way that you can never imagine it happening. I'm really glad I'm serving a great GREAT BIG and extremely cool God that's alive!
I'm excited and my heart is jumping (when it talks I'll have superpowers) so I'm off for QT and then bed!
xoxo, k.
