the art of losing



filem In Her Shoes berkisar tentang hubungan dua adik beradik. memang cukuplah ramuan filem ni. aku boleh ketawa, menangis, benci, suka, terharu dan macam-macam lagi bila tengok filem ni. cumanya ada dua puisi yang dibacakan oleh cameron diaz untuk kakak dia dalam dua situasi berbeza yang buat aku betul-betul jatuh cinta dengan filem ni.

puisi elizabeth bishop yang dibaca oleh cameron diaz selepas bergaduh dan berpisah dengan kakak dia.

One Art

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

-- Elizabeth Bishop


puisi ee cummings yang dibacakan oleh Cameron Diaz semasa kakak dia melangsungkan perkahwinan:-

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and
whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)


to mak, family aku, liza, kinead, the muse, sidah, the poem is for you.

Tokyo Juliet



aku tengah syok tengok drama mandarin dari taiwan ni kat channel 38 astro. walaupun hero drama ni tak berapa nak macho kalau nak dibandingkan dengan watak antagonis tapi kira bolehlah sebab jalan cerita dia menarik.

Tokyo Juliet nama drama ni. kalau tak silap aku drama ni berdasarkan komik manga jepun tapi aku pun tak berapa pasti pasal tu. apa yang aku tahu drama ni best sebab story dia pasal pereka fesyen terkenal taiwan (simon yam) sebenarnya curi rekaan si heroin, yang masih belajar lagi. kononnya heroin ni masa umur 8 tahun pernah hantar rekaan berlambangkan bunga daisy untuk satu pertandingan tapi simon yam telah mencuri rekaan tu dan menjadikannya terkenal dengan brand name Little Daisy. sejak daripada tu, si heroin berazam nak mengalahkan simon dalam arena fesyen. ironinya, dia bercinta dengan hero yang merupakan anak kepada musuh ketat dia.

sebenarnya, aku suka tengok rekaan-rekaan baju yang ditunjukkan dalam drama ni. drama pun tak berapa nak meleret macam drama korea jadi aku tak bosan nak tengok. soundtrack pun best. so, kalau ada peluang tengoklah cerita ni.

I AM REDS THROUGH AND THROUGH

amazing that one-nil defeats to two different teams in a space of three days meant two different things to the Reds. the team's defeat to man u was really hard for me to swallow. watching the game surrounded by family that was divided into two created a really intense atmosphere. i must apologised to my nephew amir for pinching his arm. (maksu sakit hati tengok amir celebrate poyo sangat) hehehe...

john o'shea's goal in the dying minute really broke my heart. it was the best liverpool's performance this season but yet we lost the game anyway. why couldnt liverpool find the finishing? they deserved to win that game. the defeat meant that we had handed the epl's title on a silver platter to our eternal enemy, figuratively speaking of course.

yeah, we could blame lady luck for the defeat as man united played like shit that night but come to think of it, why couldnt we find the finishing. where did benitez, the master tactician go wrong? why did all the strikers under his reign failed to score? why morientes, the prolific striker found it difficult to score during his stint with liverpool while at monaco and valencia he was like a goal machine. crouch and kuyt too fell under the curse. just look at the score sheet? kuyt only scored a pathetic 9 goals this season compared to drogba's 18. and there was that ridiculous rotation issue to deal with.

and another good game was against barcelona two weeks ago. in the second leg, we were pretty resilient in defense but again terrible in finishing. however, dont take the credit from the reds. we won fair and square two weeks ago.

however, the reds couldnt afford to play like this for the rest of the season and next season too. is buying another striker a solution or is there a flaw somewhere in benitez's tactic. i am hoping that they can find a solution and be quick about it. i couldnt bear to watch liverpool become third or fourth best in the english premier league for another season.

as for the red's back four, they were pretty amazing to watch. they work in tandem defending the liverpool's penalty area. as for carragher, even though he isnt up to par with nesta in terms of defending skill (no striker could get through nesta when he was at his best), carragher is in a class of his own. full concentration and acute tactical awareness make him one of the best central defenders in this decade but i guess terry and ferdinand's fans may beg to differ.

i dont know how far will liverpool go in the champions league. i just hope they will do well in the competition. i am hoping the reds will not be meeting ac milan in the quarter final. sigh!
