The Fever

The long silence seems deafening, underlined by tones of electrifying complacency of the heart and mind. The almost ruptured mind did not seem to be able to grasp the certainty of what is about to come. Lazy thoughts filled the spaces between times of being awaken and the unconscious. THE FEVER came at such accurate timing that it shook me by surprised. A powerful depiction of how deteriorated my modern mind have become, intoxicated by the illusions of how this world should be, not knowing how to be connected to the much more grounded self and own voice. To be living in such great adversities, yet to be able to experience the simple truths in things, is something been overlooked for quite a moment. I wish this inner and external struggle remains true to the meaning of it all. To be able to realize the ultimate meaning of my own existence, my true identity, in order to shed the masks of continuous confusion, remains seemingly futile at this point. An awakening. Too much questions, too little answers. The journey continues...

Mama Mia!

Clear blue sky, waves beating, beautiful landscapes, what better way to do a musical in such a perfect scenario? I was mesmerised by the captivating location, Aidan was totally thrilled by the songs (me included)! It was an uplifting experience - so much energy, playfulness and hope. As always, Meryl Streep did not fail to entertain (and she can sing too!). The same cannot be said for Pierce Brosnan though. My most favourite scene was the one when Meryl Streep runs up those flight of meandering steps to the church - amazingly breathtaking. The one thing that strikes a chord in me in the film was the notion of "being yourself" and you can only be who you are at the end of the day. No matter how hard you try to hide away, keep and fold your "true self" away in a closet, somewhere in a faraway island, the TRUE woman in you will eventually have to emerge again and shine. Coming out of the cinema, Aidan was already humming a verse from the song Mama Mia! and asked to buy the soundtrack. We truly had a great time! Now, both Ryan and Aidan are crazy over the songs of ABBA-:)
