Stop Here…

You totally lost it while trying hard to impress… After waiting too long and being too timid to take the initiative, you finally did it… And this time you went to the extreme… You thrust your way into the spotlight and you became a star…

A lavish star with only few words echoed in your mind: “Stop here… Stop right here.”

Ice Ice Baby!

After almost eight years of living in a country where its people have a huge passion for hockey, like Brazilians for football (soccer in North America!), I was lucky enough to see my first live hockey match at the beautiful Air Canada Centre, which just so happened to be part of an event that I myself organized for a group of 20. The view from our booth was amazingly cool and in fact helped put you in the right energizing mood. I realized the atmosphere and sounds combined crank up your energy after a long and relatively tiring day… Even for me, who is not a huge hockey fan and rather hopeless in knowing the rules of the game…

The match was between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets… The result was sweet, as Toronto won 3-1 over the Americans! Am I being too Canadian now or what?!

Starting Again…

I finally decided to enter… Starvation made me sit on the same wooden chairs covered with dark green leather… Same old leather chairs… Different faces, though, accompanied with aggression … colorless and tense air filled the room… Quite nerve-wracking… It just wasn’t the same… Made me breathe in and out stronger to stop the frustration…

I crossed the same street while breathing in and out… While entering, the red lights, the art from an unknown artist, the paper on the table and the dialogue between two friendly faces refreshed my blank mind and made me smile again… Beauty…

Food Of Love…

“ON VALENTINE’S DAY the relationship between chocolate and sex becomes, at least for gentlemen considering the ideal gift, less a matter of theoretical musing and one of stark practicality. Will a box of chocolates do the trick? In some parts of Europe sex and chocolate go hand in hand, though a causal link is unclear. Mediterranean lovers tend to have as much sex but less chocolate—perhaps hotter weather has a bearing on both. The Japanese have precious little of either.” – From Economist.com

Yes, yes… My blog has become very PG-13… Heh!

Life…

This is so pretty… Read it s’il vous plaît…

LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall?

Rapidly, merrily,
Life’s sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly!

What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O’er hope, a heavy sway?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.

Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!

Charlotte Brontë

Green…

So I was wearing green the other day. A rather old, button-less green sweater which has a unique design and still keeps me warm during winter times. Strangely enough, everyone I like in a way or have respect for was wearing green that day…

Write something about green, I said. Just an idea… I don’t really choose the topics, you replied. But I will keep that in mind… You know what; actually, I heard a great line a few days ago that I wished I’d written myself, you continued. It is part of a song written by a friend of mine… and it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it… I don’t remember the exact words, but it went something like this: “You are so yellow and I’m always blue; together we’ll make green come true”.

… And I was off to enjoy my spaghetti, thinking about the line you just said earlier.

– Heh… what else?!
– Oh, Tommy and Gina!!!

Michael Clayton… Again!

Well, well, well… here I am again…

Unlike the (supposed) majority of the ladies in the world, I’m not a big George Clooney fan… I know some are utterly in love with him… They actually get jealous seeing him with his latest girl on the cover of tabloid magazines!!! Years ago, I used to like his character in “ER”, back when I was a TV fanatic, but to me he was only another actor…

All that aside, I think he did a fab job in “Michael Clayton”… As a matter of fact, the whole cast offered great acting which made you smile at the end of the film… The first half hour of the film got me totally lost, but after a while, you start to place the puzzle pieces in their right place…

To me, a film which makes you think and talk about it afterwards is considered a good movie… To me, “Michael Clayton” is a good film and indeed deserves some awards… My favorite character in the film was Arthur, played beautifully by Tom Wilkinson (may I add ‘Brits Rule’?!)… It’s a shame he has quite a strong competitor at the Oscars this year… Javier Bardem is the main one, though I can’t deny that he also acted amazingly in “No Country for Old Men”…

You can tell that I’m now officially catching up on recent movies! Yay…
