The messenger

I hate watching ghost movies (except 6th sense), but went and watched the Messenger yesterday. The Pang brother's 1st hollywood foray.
Verdict - Creepy! An average storyline with many suspenseful and goose bumpity shoots. I think the mat salleh audience will like it. But asian audience who's seen many of their movies will find similar scenes from their previous movies. And certain elements look very ju-on like. Still, since I used my fingers to edit most of the scenes when i watch any horror movies, and do my very best to forget scary scenes, the messenger is very refreshing and creepy to me.

But you know what's creepiest of all? One of the Pangs named himself Danny, while the other one, get this, named himself Oxide. Oxide Pang - I guess we now know which one of them comes up with the creepy ideas.

The importance of being selfish

I've learnt some important things this week.
To *preserve me, there comes a time when:
I need to do what I want in my life. With less consideration of what I should. Or what others want.
I will let go of taking care of others in favor of taking care of myself.
I need to choose to do things that are joyful.

It is important to distinguish these times from others.

* sounds like fossilization, doesn't it? or maybe fruit preservation. :)
