lesson #110: of commitments and love and such and such

Have just watched Raising Helen on DVD. It's kind of a mediocre movie... But I think Kate Hudson is really pretty so I watched it anyway. And strangely enough, the fact that it was mediocre and kinda choppy made it feel more REAL to me. It felt not so scripted. The romance part especially. There's this pastor who asked Kate Hudson out and he got turned down twice by her. But in the end she gave in. I'm fascinated by the pastor's reaction when he got rejected. Think it's kind of adorable.


They didn't really show the romance between Kate Hudson and the pastor. Like, no scenes of them in bed, or them making out passionately, or whatever. The movie just showed a lot of companionship. Settled-downness. And it looked pretty beautiful from this side of the television screen.


In the movie, there was also this male model who was Kate Hudson's old flame. He's so hot and yummy! I want him for myself. Let me at him! The lines that he said were just so sexy.
Kate Hudson: You know you're not supposed to take clothes from the photoshoot.
Hottie model: Well, then will you help me take them off?
Rawrrrr. Delish!


Well anyway, the male model's not the point. The point is that, as an aftermath of watching the movie, I began to wonder if I'd ever get settled down. The thought of marriage is freaky-deaky. The thought of children is brrrrrr. However, the thought of finding that perfect someone for ever after is, right now, lookin' good. I don't think I'm ready though. What if, in the long term, you get bored? I think my perfect partner (I'm just speaking hypothetically here, I KNOW that there's no such thing as a perfect partner) has to be a party person. He has to know how to have fun. Yet at the same time, he has to be a good guy underneath that wild persona. He's got to have two different layers to him. An extrovert outer layer, yet an introvert inner layer.


Speaking of boredom, the girls who have boyfriends in SAF have got it good, I think. Granted, you don't get to see your boyfriend much, but that's the whole point. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Since you don't see each other often, you can't really get bored of seeing each other. It's like, every occasion is that little bit more special. And since your boyfriend isn't in school with you, there's a greater avenue for making new friends and interacting with more people in school.


This is just a tiny reflection of mine, by the way. Not intended to complain about G. Yeah, we do see each other every day in school. Hence, in order to keep boredom at bay, we've had to resort to certain extremes.



Nice? I directed this photoshoot.



Dance!



G looks absolutely gorgeous here. Love it!
