#7: Fave Movie

Day 7 of 30 days writing challenge.

Fave Movie

My favourite movie is 1953's Roman Holiday. It's a romantic comedy starring the loveable Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. 


It's a classic black and white movie, depicting my fave actress in one of her early movies. What so loveable about this movie is it's such a sweet, innocent love story and although it's not a happy ending (considerably), yet it's still a classic. 

Storyline 


Princess Anne (Audrey Hepburn) was heavily depressed due to her strict duty and schedule as a royalty that represents her country. During her stay in Rome, as she accidentally snuck out from the palace, she met an incognito American journalist, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck). Once trying to sell her story to his editor, Joe started to fell in love with the Princess, who's pretending she's someone else. 

The whole movie took place in Rome, and you can felt as if you were there sightseeing with them. I haven't been to Rome, and seeing this movie made you want to go there. Maybe someday I will. (Forgot to put Rome on my wishlist place before. Lol). My fave scene was when Princess Anne rode a scooter (a classic 1940s vespa I think) with Joe on her back and they ended up got arrested by the police (she drove like crazy. 😂).

It's a simple classic movie that's heartfelt and funny as well. I like many kinds of movies but nowadays I appreciate movies that can both make me happy and laugh, and not thinking too hard on the storyline. I'm a daily overthinker, don't need to be thinking on my spare times.

How to Ghibli?

That time of the year, again. Why can't life be more like Ghibli's aesthetics? It has been a while for me to be in my 30s, and soon I will be turning 40. What will one expect when one turns into a 40-year-old woman?  Why can't life be like Ghibli's slice of life feature films? Why can't we find ideal love like in those movies? 3 years ago today I still can't imagine that I finally found out that my (back then) spouse was a serial cheater, a swinger, and an avid liar. My whole life was crumbled, and my mind went crazy, like literally mad (will tell this someday when I'm ready). And briefly after that, I met a random guy, got married again in such a short time, and have a baby not long after. Back then, no one really cares about how I feel inside, my messed up mind is still there up until now. So, what to do?

#16: Infatuation

  Day 16 of 30 days writing challenge Infatuation Ten minutes to midnight and I almost forgot today's writing challenge. Supposed to be about someone I miss, but I don't really know how to deal with distant short-lived feelings.  Wind Once obsessed I was, Like a wind arose  Out of the blue, Hell, should I drown in my thoughts? Of something I nearly forgot? It was only a brief, belittle by wrongly  Lay a trust While nonetheless  There's nothing but a gust Of wind drifted by Of my tears, Of my fears, Of what wishful thinking, it was Live and let live, And let the wind blows your sadness away, 'Coz anything is everything, while everything is nothing. We are, nothing.

#11: Siblings

 Day 11 of 30 days writing challenge. Siblings You either love 'em unconditionally or hate them occasionally . They share the same blood as you, they're your first friends. And it's not uncommon that you spent your days fighting and quarrelling with them at day and get along again at night. Your parents still mad at you but you already reconciliate with them. A brother and a sister As a middle child, I always stuck in between. My brother and my sister both have strong personalities. When they're fighting it's like a fierceful battle between Dragon Slaying Sabre VS Heavenly Sword --minus maybe they're both a bit antagonistic , none really chivalry. Brother My big bro is an amazing abstract learner. Why I said "abstract"? It's because he never did enjoy the typical learning practices in formal education. But when we're younger, different methods weren't there for children with superb or different qualities. Anyways, he's an avid lear...
