R.I.P John Hughes

I love everything about the 80's. Everything from the bright colorful makeups to the big hairs and wonderful clothes. Most of the time i wish that i was a teenager in the 80's so i can experience the iconic pop culture from that decade. Since that won't be happening anytime soon another alternative is to immerse and indulge myself with movies from the 80's. Teen movies specifically. John Hughes movies. He is ah-mayy-zing! He has this ability that captures the reality of teen life, rather than the glitz and glamor of everything Hollywood. He portrays the pop culture influences on the 80's with his brilliant writing and razor sharp wit that has and will continue to touch millions of girls not only in the 80's but decades after that too.

As quoted by Leslie Goldman - He highlighted women whose quirks and traits might not have screamed, “Worship me!” but, at the end of the story, whispered, “I am just like you.”

Thank you, Mr Hughes, and may you rest in peace.

As each day passes, we grow to understand ourselves better and know what is right and wrong for us.Sometimes it's funny how intricate life is. It is through other people's reflection that you recognize how you're changed. How you've grown. It is always reassuring when you know what's best for you. Big old canvas may not be filled to the brim, but at least it's not blank anymore.

Do you realize that everybody puts on different facades in different situation/environment? Our own characteristic changes slightly to adapt to the environment, though the core is still very much you, we pretty much blend ourselves in. Funny i've only realize it today. Heh... Different people, different personality...i am a true Gemini - the sign of the Twins, is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. Adaptable and versatile, superficial and inconsistent. Extreme flightiness.

Someone asked me why 'Uptown Girls' is one of my favorite movie? Well, generally it is because it's a very charming 'feel good' movie. It is not a comedy per se, and it does'nt try to be one, rarely will you see me cracking laughing out loud, but a smile never left my face through out the whole 90 minutes. Most of all, i loved this movie because i can identify myself with the main character, Molly. I guess you can say i see myself in her?

Her character? That's me... child/women, the child-like behaviour, the optimism, her dancing on the street because she's happy... that's me. I remember saying this to someone - I guess i'm not very observant. Because it feels like suddenly everybody is expecting me to be a grow up. No one ever told me before hand ,"hey, you're an adult now, you need to grow up". Nobody taught me on that subject, i don't know what i'm suppose to do. No warning, nothing. Just BAMMM - grow up!

Purity is usually sucked out of a person before they exit their teens. Life experiences add up after a while. Every small snipes will wear a person down until they realize that they have nothing left to give. And i'm clinging on desperately to mine weary of the world hoping that it will never sucked the life out of me.

At 17 this movie is the ultimate chick flick, the dresses, the parties, the modern cinderella story. At 18 it is about exploring the world, the relationships, at 20 it's recognizing the innocence and learning how to face the world with it and now at 23, it is about learning how grow up, how to be an adult.

That is why i love love love this movie

Cheers~

Basically, it says that the world has been broken into pieces. All this chaos, all this discord.
And our job?everyone's jobis to try to put the pieces back together. To make things whole again.

But the fact that the world is broken? I absolutely believe that. Just look around us. Every minute,every single second,there are a million things you could be thinking about. A million things you could be worrying about. Our
world, don't you just feel we're becoming more and more fragmented? I used to think that when I got
older, the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older I get, the more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is. Harder. You'd think we'd be getting better at it. But there's just more and more chaos. The pieces, they're everywhere. And nobody knows what to do about it. I find myself grasping, Nick. You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it's right, but because it will mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe in that.

Maybe we're the pieces,I say.Maybe that's it, I say gently. With what you were talking about before. The world being broken. Maybe it isn't that we're supposed to find the pieces and put them back together. Maybe we're the
pieces.Maybe,I say, what we're supposed to do is come together. That's how we stop the breaking.

Tikkun olam.
