NO school today
I was just watching a chinese loooonnng film thingy. I dont' even know what they're called in English. They don't have those kind of film in america anyways.
I always get so emotionally attached with chinese films...because they're so good. Well, this film is the major film right in China. IT's so good. It takes place during my uncle's generation. There's this young man and woman and they're in love. I was just watching the beginning because I missed it. The guy was describing what he saw when he heard one of Tzychovsky's (don't know how to spell)piano piece. That's kinda how the girl fell in love with him. Have no idea what piece it was but I can so relate to it. That's how i interparate (uhhh...I can't spell today) the nocturnes that I play. But when I watched this, I never tried to describe what I imagine when I hear music. Usually I would ask Li Fan abt the piece (it's background) and try to put that emotion into the music. I should try describing what I see sometimes. I wonder if Michelle play nocturnes like this too. It'd be nice for once if I actually had a knack for playing nocturnes. That for once, I'm have something special from others since I'm not that good at the piano. Of course I'm not very good at all but at least it's nice to have something that belongs to me. I'm going to work really hard so I can have my concert sometime earlier than my junior year since Michelle's having hers this september. *sigh* I wish I started piano earlier or at least practiced more. I've wasted so much time.
Good thing is, I think I'm doing better now =)
I hate how I fall in love with movie characters. K, I admire them...not love them to be exact haha. I just can't help but like it because the language they use is so beautiful. I know, usually I would be indifferent to chinese but I love the language in this film...esp the language the guy used during the music scence. It's so beautiful. Yup, I revel in it's beautifulness. I'm such a sucker for beautiful things. There's also so many philosophical things and morals and other interesting sayings there. The characters always say something like "My mom used to say" or "My dad used to tell me". How can they actually remember what their parents said? Cuz I don't remember what my parents say....and I don't think they tell me anything like the meaning of life or something like that. I like deep stuff..but I think that's just because it's a film so they say that stuff. I wonder if they used to say those things in real life back then.
I think I should try to think more. Not just think abt things that have no answers but things that might actually have one. I always think and wonder abt stuff that does not have an aswer to them. Isn't that wasting ur time? K maybe I'm doing that now.
I remember this one quote this girl said from what i just watched: (well it's translated into english so it doesn't sound as interesting) "the result is not as important as the process" I'm trying to figure out what she means by process. She did make an example: She said liking someone is a process but do you ever think of the result of likeing someone? and the guy said that he wouldn't know the result because it was way into the future...so that's why process is more important the the result. oohhhhh.....something like that
lols I don't even know if I'm making sense. I love how i can put whatever I'm thinking here because only some friends can read it.
Usually I get very inspired by things like this but then after it, I go back to my normal self. I wish I was inspired for a longer time. I can change so much if I was. I should try to do so much better than what I am like right now.
I felt so mesmerized lols...very mesmerized.
"Yes, we can make it...I'm in love with you baby..." listening to natalie...on Rachel's xanga =) I like that song even though she isn't that good but the song's nice.
