everyone needs a slumdog

it's a simple movie with no mindblowing effects

it's a simple story without the colourful villians we see in Gotham city

it's a simple man whom we would never have known if not for this movie

it's a group of simple actors quite unlike the stellar cast of Ocean's 12

it's shot in a simple country with no skyscrapers or fancy cars

but yet, despite this simplicity

it proved that it was no underdog

the Academy bestowed upon the film

the honour of 8 Oscars

the beauty of this recognition is hope

because the story goes

no matter who you are

no matter where you are from

no matter what you have (or don't have)

slumdog or underdog

dreams may come true after all

in times like these where everything seems to go wrong

everyone needs a slumdog

there's always a first time

- so messy -

the book, the blog and the movie

Once upon a time 4 years ago, I found a really cool book and bought it for a girl friend who was having boy problems.

Then I blogged about it here.

Now they have made it into a movie.

Maybe they will make it into a song soon.

Or a talk show. (Any takers - Oprah? Tyra? Ellen?)

All good things...

...must come to an end.

Loyalty is underrated.

In a relationship, respect precedes love. Always.

Don't compromise. But if you do, live with it.

What goes around doesn't always come around. Sometimes it just disappears completely.

When things don't go your way, pray.

If death can solve all problems, nobody will be alive to see the solutions.

Nobody is perfect, but we can all learn to be a little less imperfect.

Life is never fair. Suck it.

The winner takes it all. That's a fact.

YOU should never be more important than ME.

I am not different. I am just unique.
