Wee, I am currently addicted to the band Scissor Sisters. They are like the homosexual version of the Bee Gees XD. Their song Filthy/Gorgeous is just hilarious and catchy, and its music video is even directed by John Cameron Mitchell, the one who directed the movie Shortbus, the shocking yet amazing film that was the cause of the "18 na kami" moment XD.

"Why do I fall in love with every [man] I see that shows me the least bit of attention?" (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) 

I miss the feeling of falling in love having a crush on someone, getting horny and lustful for him, and obsessing over him. I don't believe in the idea of falling in love at first sight. When you do feel something like that, it's probably lust. I don't exactly like the feeling but it's just that I haven't felt like that for a long time. I guess I don't feel like that anymore because I now think in more of a rational and logical way. Or I guess, like Joel of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I only easily fall in lust for guys who show me even the smallest bit of attention.

I have watched a lot of films especially this year, but until now Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is still my all-time favorite. A lot of movie lovers say that their most favorite film ever is either Casablanca or Citizen Kane. If you ask others for their lists of top ten films, they will most likely include Casablanca and Citizen Kane on their lists. I have watched both but I think Citizen Kane is a little bit overrated and not timeless as other classic films I have seen, and Casablana is a phenomenal and incredibly well-written film but still not better than Eternal Sunshine.

Not one movie has been able to impress and amaze me more than Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Sadly, I don't think there will be another movie that will be able to capture the nostalgia and beauty present in Eternal Sunshine. Y Tu Mama Tambien almost came close to it, even The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Chungking Express. And no movie is perfect, especially to the viewer's eyes, but to me this is the film that is closest to perfection. The film is done in a non-linear order, and there are a couple of twists. It can be easily confusing to its first-time viewers but before the film ends, they will easily comprehend what has just happened. Other elements of the film are perfectly well-done too. The dialogue is interesting, witty and not minimal, unlike arthouse films'. The realistic main characters are ones to care for and die for (Only Elijah Wood's character is annoying). The music is just soothing and sublime. There are also a lot of scenes in the film that will easily make its audience cry, laugh, or reminisce. The film also goes beyond different genres, thinking outside the box and not giving in to the cliches and typical situations in romantic comedies and science fiction. If you think there is a film even better than Eternal Sunshine, please tell me so.

It's funny reading your old works and journal entries and looking through your old stuff. You'll laugh, thinking stuff like "Haha, I can't believe I was like that before. I can't believe I wrote this. How the heck did I write something as foolish as that? Why the heck was I so naive and innocent back then? I really changed a lot since then, huh?" If you haven't thought anything like that after browsing through your old written works, that probably means you haven't changed that much since then :P. And when you read them, you suddenly feel this sense of nostalgia and have this idiotic grin on your face, thinking of your old self and of how it seemed just like ages ago.

I mentioned this because I have been looking through some old stuff: notes, fantasy stories, and diary entries I wrote, letters and gifts I received from good friends, old stuff kept away in the closet, etc. I browsed through these, and it just made me smile and, once again, long for the simplistic and pleasant past.
