Finding Forrester
"For if we wait too long, we risk learning that life is not a game that is won... or lost... it is a game that, too often, simply isn't played."
Family isn't always what you're born with -- sometimes it's the people you find, sometimes it's the people who find you. From Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant comes Finding Forrester, an uplifting story about the unusual dynamic between an isolated author and the confident teenager who changes his life.
Through their unique, occasionally contentious alliance, Jamal navigates a new world outside of the South Bronx home he shares with his loving mother and brother. Forrester is Jamal's unlikely guide on his journey into the strange, strait-laced academic community in which he must now prove himself as a writer.
got this from one of the posters of samasa, a student political organization in UP, when i was a freshman...
Ours must remain a time of hope and wonder.
In the face of cynicism and indifference,
we must speak of the world not as one that nears its end,
but one that ever seeks to be reborn.
Ours must remain a time of courage.
It is not surrender or compromise that stays the hand of oppression;
only unfailing challenge can undo such a regime of anguish.
Ours must remain a time for living truly and deeply.
We must not grow old in our youth.
Our lives become far richer, far mor meaningful
as we strive hand in hand to live beyond ourselves.
To contemplate the beautiful,
To stand courageous,
To lead, to serve, to live.
To be young and activist.
Ours must remain a time of hope and wonder.

why is the sky blue?
you might be wondering why i am asking this question....see, one saturday morning, i was jogging in UP.....and then i looked up, and as expected there above me was the sky....it was just the normal sky, not clear blue but blue. smoky blue.
one good thing about jogging is that you remember to ask yourself questions about things you used to be curious about but forgot about them along the way. somehow it brings you closer to yourself when other things in your life seems to pull you away.
okay now, laugh.

They Can't Take That Away From Me
from the soundtrack of Love's Labours Lost
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me
We may never ever meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me
We may never ever meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No you can't take that away
You can't take that away from me
No you can't take that away from me
