The Break-Up

This half-written post had the honor of lounging around in Friendster Blogs as a draft for quite a bit now. Heh. Since April 2006. Full of cobwebs and all things creepy-crawly already. Sigh. Always meant to finish it but never actually got around to doing it. Procrastination and all that. Oh, plus, it's not really cool dwelling on break-up issues, you know? That's one compartment in Pandora's Box that's usually better left alone. It's just safer that way.

Well, today will be different.

For today, it shall be done.

My mind digested the story when I first watched it and I'd already put some thought into what I'd write and say… but I never actually got it done. I never completed it enough to click "Publish". Sort of like a half-chewed bubblegum or a half-eaten cookie that's left on the counter top… except it's a lot less gross.

So the topic for today is:
Film/Movie

First question posed:
The Break-Up – Have you watched it?

If you haven't, then you super slack. Where have you been and what have you been doing la? It's become freaking old school already la. Time to keep up with the times, my friend. Go watch. And don't come back till you're done watching. Hmmph!

*blink blink*

Did I just say that?

Anyways, do you guys think that they got back together? Or do you think that they just left it as it was – a good run for friends who used to be lovers but will never be again? Do tell.

Well, as for me, I'm undecided. On the fence. Standing on middle ground. I mean, their eyes say that they've missed each other. You know? All lovey-dovey, I-kinda-miss-you and all that. The I-wish-we-never-went-down-that-painful-road kinda look, get it? There's fondness swimming around in those pupils. And their body language does tell that they do remember the good times they've shared along with the bond they've created. But is that enough for them to take that let's-get-back-together step? I'm not sure.

Hmmm.

Being the romantic I am, I want to believe that they eventually run back into each other's arms, dance their way home to the theme of Romeo & Juliet and make passionate love in the living room (they couldn't make it to the bed in time) to the tunes of Jive Bunny.

But do they?

Aih, I dunno lar. Look at the poster la. They tell us to "pick a side" but they don't freaking "pick a side" themselves! I hate I-don't-want-to-tell-you-what-happens-in-the-end endings. Mystery? Bleh. No thanks. Just give it to us straight up. What happened to closure, man!? Hello! Some of us have got better things to do with our time than think about fictional love story characters and their non-existent future together (or apart), okay!?

I dun wan think di.

You tell me.

Oh, look at that! I finished the post. I did! I did!

Now I can finally say, "Ahhh, it is finished."
