the power of Mr. Darcy
this is my new desktop wallpaper. this man, this being, this person (though fictional) captured the hearts of many hopeless romantics like me. i know for sure i am not alone in this quest for my mr. darcy. last night, hbo showed pride and prejudice. i have seen the movie, but i watched it again. the first time i saw it was the first time i met him, mr. darcy. i ignored his character for so long but thank god i gave him a chance! haaay... moving on, the second time i watched the movie which was last night, i finally got to share my feelings with someone, my cousin, who watched along with me. the experience was different. i had someone to sigh with at every line, someone to scream and make gigil with at every stare, someone i get to pinch from all the kiligness. OMG TEENAGE CRUSH FLASHBACK!!! hahaha.
i'm getting to my point here. this afternoon, we (mae, krystel and ana) talked about our night with mr. darcy and how he just "bewitched us body and soul", relieving every line he said that made us kilig to our bones! how we wish we would one day meet a person like him. shy, mysterious, intimidating, powerful and rude, yet in an attractive kind of way. one day, we shall have our mr. darcy moments. it was then that all of a sudden, mr. holasca came butting in. i think he asked us why girls are so shallow like that. how us girls think that everything in the movies are so kilig and realistic and how lame it is of us to think that one day it will happen to us. i get him. he has a point. but that wasn't what we were saying. he was thinking of the long run.. that life isnt always happy ever after, and i agree with that. but hey, there's no harm in dreaming right? but that is still not the point. im not really sure if i could actually get there since i don't understand what im writing about anymore.
ok, back to mr. darcy. i wasnt really thinking of the long run with that conversation. honestly, i couldnt even imagine myself spending my whole life with a mr. darcy. so i was really thinking for the longest time about this on my way home... the main reason why i fell in love with him is that i found it so endearing that behind all that power was a wussy heart. i don't know if this applies to all the girls in the world but seeing a persona like darcy being all mushy2x just captures me. look at him, he has everything, and as much as he hates the fact that he fell in love with lizzie, he cant deny it. he had to face it. and that's what i found to be entirely cute. he was willing to risk everything. his status, his power, his family. that's why i fell in love with him. i admit, he is not that good looking, but his character made him look so good and gorgeous.
and so mr. holasca, someone like mr. darcy does exist in this world. our fairytale may not entirely come true but that feeling of being able to feel that special something out of someone you least expect to feel special about you is good enough. that was the kilig moment. that was the gitik factor. that was the feeling that makes us scream like giddly little teenagers. that was the power that was, Mr. Darcy.
