penny is poison

"blushing a cue for her falsities
advantage is my only masterpiece"

Sometimes we think that we understand the people close to us. Every time they show their vulnerabilities, we think that we know better and that it is our job to help them out. We sympathize and we analyze. We know that we've got things figured out and we have the solution.

"penny is poison but I don't mind"

We act on good intentions. We extend our knowledge, our opinions, our assistance... for we're sure that what we have to offer is what they need.

"gardening malice for murderers
flushes to me are the weeds to her"

But in reality, we don't. We're just intruding, feigning empathy and judging. We force unto them our ideas. We talk but we don't listen. We blame them for not doing the things that we believe is right. We reprimand and express disappointment - never thinking that we are just fueling a flame that causes irreversible damage.

"starving the love of the marvelous
I was the penny to previous"

The outcome we've expected doesn't come. We give up but we don't back down. In our minds we still believe that we hold the solution and that what we're doing is right. We didn't do anything wrong.

And we don't realize what we're really doing until somebody else do it to us.

"We know who we are."

Yes, we know who we are.

Each good song can have several different interpretations. Although the words that make it up have definite meanings, the totality of it can mean absolutely anything. We, as individuals, are all like the words that make up a song. We know who we are as a person, but once put together, we don't really have a clue what we have formed. We don't really know what we have become together. It may be something good, it may be something subliminally destructive, or it may just be plain nonsense.

You may have an interpretation based on how you relate to it, and I may see it differently.

holy sh*t movie scenes

I watched Insidious again. Since I was trying to cut down on horror movies for the past few years, I never got to watch this movie from start to finish. The only time I saw the whole film was when I was hanging out in my parent's room, soldering something I can't remember, with Ma and Dad watching it. Coincidentally, that was also Dad's last night. That was the last movie he ever saw before he died the next morning.

Anyway, even after watching it for a few more times after, there is this one scene that never fails to scare the hell out of me. It was the scene with the guy pacing back and forth by the window right after the mother woke up from her bad dream. It was effing crazy the first time I saw it and it still give me the creeps even upto now. It also doesn't help that I sleep by a large window as well. I tried searching for a clip of it in YouTube but the only one posted has really bad video quality. The clip in YouTube was a recording of a TV playing the scene which kinda took away the eerie effects.

I have had other holy sh*t moments in horror movies - like the scene with the gun-wielding kid in "The 6th Sense," the elevator scene in the original "The Eye," and the dropping-the-keys-while-the-spooky-guy-is-coming-at-you scene in "Sigaw" - but I think this one trumps them all. I suggest you watch Insidious and let me know if I'm right about it being scary. Hehe...

Good night and sweet dreams!
