B Is For: Bridget Jones's Diary

 One of the all time romance classics is this hilarious movie of how love is totally blind. How you can be a top model, but without a kind, original and beautiful mind and soul - you're never gonna win a true man's heart. There is a quote - "Beauty without intelligence is a masterpiece painted on a napkin." which author is unknown. I find it so realistic and true it gives me shivers, but some people just don't realize it and I wonder if the one will ever notice me ... You know; for not being the prettiest in school but having a different, at least an original heart and mind? Well, let's leave this and my poor little feelings for now. Though Bridget and I may seem very much alike, I must admit she beats me all the way. She has the guts and courage to be herself even though she is not so slim (which I find inspiring!). How she wins a man's heart by being true herself and no one else. How when she finds out about that lying bastard Daniel she does her work and pay him back, knowing where her limits are. I admire her, I adore her and I think all teen girls should look after her. Let her be their role model, not some stupid Miley Cyrus. She defines the concept of being a woman.


 You must admit though, she is a bit crazy. But that's what makes her special and unique and that the man of her dreams falls in love with her because she is true to herself. She laughs at her expense, she makes inappropriate jokes and she is totally bonkers. As Alice says to Mad Hatter: "All the best people are." And that is what truly matters - being totally and completely bonkers. That's the best effing thing in the world. Being a lunatic and not caring for a thing in the world. And good things will come to you, trust me. Because happiness is just like a butterfly: the more you search for it and chase it, the more it will get away from you. But once you stop and realize what a beautiful day it is, it will softly lean on your shoulder. And when you achieve that, you won. Of course the process is one hell of a tough procedure. It's hard to let go of your old habits that you linger on so much. You just can't stay focused on it, right? Just like our chubby Bridget here, but that doesn't define her, that's so twisted here. She is indecisive, she is confused all the time, but she's trying. She is trying to make the best out of everything, even though she might be trying too hard sometimes. But at least she is, that is one good feature to be proud of. Some people never even try and then complain, but at least she gave it a shot and then maybe chose vodka. But who cares, she's freaking hilarious.

 The movie (or more like the Bridget Jones character) teaches us how we sometimes underrate ourselves, our abilities and good sides of us. There is a good quote by Steve Furtick: "The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare out behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel". And that is true for everyone, because everyone has to deal with so ups and downs and we think that no one has such problems as bad as ours. But we are wrong. Other people think the same about us though, because the less you reveal the more you leave people wondering. And it is important that we are also aware of our good sides besides having a rough day from time to time when you feel like your life is a living hell and no one gets you. Everyone has those kinda days but just like yourself, they keep it to themselves. They don't wanna show their weak side to the world. But the point is that if you cry that doesn't mean you're weak. Another quote, this time by marvelous Johnny Depp, saying: "People cry, not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long." Way to go, Johnny! And by being strong he means trying to hold everything up, trying to keep up with the world, trying to make yourself look perfect, trying, trying, trying ... And trying is a sign of being a strong person who knows what they want. You are not born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You have to stand up and fight, work and put effort in it. Because if you really want something and getting down to is seriously, you'll get it. And with trying; you don't look stupid. It makes you a person who respects themselves and knows what they deserve.

 And we can learn more than enough from this courageous lady. She knows what she deserves, yet she sometimes underrates herself. She has a funny perspective on life and lives in the moment, yet cries at home, thinking how ugly she is or not good enough. In the end, she gets the man she wants and they're perfect for each other because he loves her too, no matter what. He loves her in spite of some of her bad features, but that's actually the best and strongest reason why he loves her - for being one of a kind, hilarious and caring. And she is one hell of a special snowflake. She is sometimes so confusing she can't understand herself. But I think that when it comes to important decisions she won't let you down. You might think I'm wrong regarding to her failed attempt to be an interviewer, but if you watched the movie, she picked herself right up and became a great reporter and everyone was shocked to see her, that chubby at first incompetent wanna-be, becoming someone they never thought they'd see in her. She gave them a slap right in their surprised faces. And that is why I adore her. 

 Anyway, I hope you've heard that the third part is coming! Or is in development, at least. I can't wait to see her and Mr Darcy having a perfect life. But there is also a bad news accompanying the good one: I heard Mr Darcy is going to die! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the news. What is the point then? I was wondering and guessing what they could have done to stunning new husband, but in the end I figured it was hopeless. Another situation yet to be solved is the consequence of having Mr Darcy dead: the title's saying: Bridget Jones And Her Baby. Well will she become a single mother or will she find true love again, someone to love her imperfections? I'm very curious about the whole plot so I won't be making completely unrealistic (well not so much) theories and causing false hopes; but I am hoping for a great story - third parts can sometimes be disappointing. But since Renee Zellweger is playing, I am not worrying about lack of humor. I can be let down quite easily though, but I have faith in this movie. I just hope I'll enjoy the third one just like I endlessly enjoyed the last two!

The Best Things In Life Are Free: True Or False?

We are constantly surrounded by statements like: "The best things come free." and all that positive thinking along. But is it really true? I mean, I get it that when people say that they mostly mean things like love, joy and friends. These things do, however, come free, but by free it's mostly considered as not including money. For all these things that I counted, true dedication and believing yourself are present and these kind of things are what truly makes a person rich. Not money, not some kick-ass career (that may have influenced on your inner self, though) or super yachts. It's something that comes from within and that really takes effort and time to possess. And to get there, it actually takes a whole different kind of price for what you really want. It demands hard work that is often not quite what rich people own. There is a beautiful quote by Patrick Meagher: "Some people are so poor all they have is money." And that is, sadly, often correct. Peopl...

American Beauty

There are only few things in this world that are able to truly leave me speechless, astounded, and numb. I tend to believe I have seen a lot of things that have touched me right to the depths of my soul, making me feel like there is so much more life behind ordinary things. And those occassions are the reason we stay alive. May it be a soft breeze caressing your skin on a surprisingly warm March day that reminds you of the hidden wonders of nature, a sentimental gesture shared between a mother and a child that demonstrates the meaning of humanity and unconditional love or simply a flash of a moment in an ordinary day that keeps you sane and secured, knowing there is some magic hidden in these ordinary, seemingly unnoteworthy moments that we need to treasure and remember forever, and that even though we are aware of this magic, we could never reach it. And that is the beauty of it. However, when I saw this movie it truly shook me, in a good way. I also recently watched Good Will Hunti...

I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it

 More and more I feel like I don't belong here, in this hell called school. It's not like I'm unwanted in society, it's more like how I'm being somehow ignored, but not directly. I can still laugh with my girl friends and have a good time at school breakes, but when we like have a free hour or we just don't do anything in class, I can feel how I don't fit in. I then realise how different I am, or how every individual is different. But some girls, most of them actually, can still find something in common, something that makes them more wanted, that makes them popular and attractive. They're all the same, although I still believe everyone's special in some way. But it's like they all feel the same about that "love" they think they know what it is, they have opinions on things, same taste in music, same behaviour. And I'm so sick of it. So sick of everybody pretending, not showing their real feelings then pitying themselves later. And ...
