The theme that’s inherently present in the world is rebellion. There is no perfect system. People will always criticize and change a system. Usually a group would confine themselves into one goal in changing a system, but once that system is changed, another group within that new system will breakthrough to change and it becomes a never ending chain of changes.
I’m reading Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead and the hero is described to be immortal. Not because he will never die, but because he is constant. He never change and I believe that is true immortality and perfection. Immortality is an eternal constant; not physically. If a system behaves as a constant, then that would be perfect. Whatever disturbance occurs, the system should remain intact.

Last night I saw on DVD Julie Delpy’s film “2 Days In Paris”. The film hit home. The film has so many features that I will probably miss most of them in this entry. “2 Days” is about a couple - an American and a French – who stopped over in Paris for two days on their way back to New York from Italy. The French girl was reunited with old friends and lovers. Delpy, who wrote, directed and produced this flick, brought out, in my opinion, everything that is negative about the Frenchies. But she didn’t miss the assault on America either.
What hit home really wasn’t the stereotypes. It’s the main theme which is being out of place. I have been feeling out of place these past months. “2 Days” visualized the feeling of being out of place for me. You become passive externally, but deep down inside you are in a revolution. The feeling causes paranoia, jealousy, and pessimism. Paranoia because you don’t belong in a group and thus don’t understand their ways yielding you to believe that they are not the friendlies. Jealousy comes into play and I will withhold my reasons. Pessimism arises because all you would think about are negative things. Those things won’t be visible, though. They are all kept inside you and you become passive outside as a defense mechanism. You show them that you are not out of place while you are wishing that time will come that they visit your own world and kick them where it hurts.
Watch the movie and you’ll understand my feelings.

WP2.5 is coming out soon (already late). My theme is still the primitive version. It doesn’t even support widgets yet. I’ve done so much modifications in this theme and I stupidly forgot to keep tabs of the changes. Now I’m contemplating whether to upgrade the theme as I upgrade WP. Should I?
EDITION: I decided to create a test site and start fiddling with the new’r version.

Finally, I had the time and resources to watch this movie. I did not bother watch the series, nor have an intention to. The reason being that firstly, I don’t like the theme of the story and secondly, I don’t like the lead actress in the series. The movie, however, is an exception because of Song Hae Gyo (there are countless spelling in the web, but I chose this for no reason other than it’s easy to pronounce). I will not elaborate on the story because I’m not Korean and I don’t have the background of the story. All I can say is that Song Hae Gyo did her part as Hwang Jin Yi [only from what I know of the character] wonderfully in this motion picture. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, her acting did not fail. I’ve been wanting to see this film even before it was released, but it took me this long to finally see it. I’m not disappointed. It made me watch Full House again.
