Kiss and Slow Dance

Meredith: "I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was, "I'm going to die today and I can't remember our last kiss," which is pathetic. But the last time we were together and happy, I... want to be able remember that, and I can't Derek. I can't remember."

Derek: "It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little "Dartmouth" T-shirt you look so good in, the one with the hole in the back of the neck. You'd just washed your hair and you smelled like some kind of... flower. I was running late for surgery. You said you were going to see me later, and you leaned to me, you put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. You know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. And you went back to reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed."

--

I can't remember my last kiss either and the last time i slow dance. All i know is that it's been a while.

Grown up gifts

When i was 6, all i wanted for Christmas was the Sailor Moon pen wand. Even though i'm their only daughter, my parents never spoiled me when it came to give my brothers and i a present. Nor did they believe it was a way to raise a child. So growing up, i never really got the things i want. I remember going back to school after the holidays and see all the girls in my grade with their pen and that all i got was a pair of mitten and a red winter boots. My mom made it worst when she tried to convince me that it looked the same as Sailor Moon's.

Now that i'm a bit older, i wouldn't mind having that pair of mitten and those red boots. As long as its cashmere and Marc Jacobs :P All in all, i've decided to work on my wish list this year. Theres a few goodies i can afford. But those who know me, knows that i always want the unaffordable ones. I can still wish for them though, right? Ahhh...the wonders of Christmas!

1. Tuck Harem pants - CLU
2. Yvette Suede heels - Loeffler Randall
3. Zig Zag scarf - Tsumori Chisato
4. New Orleans Mid Calf w/ Strap boots - Joie
5. Polaroid Note pads - Urban Outfitters
6. Modern Love palette - NARS
7. Stock Snake moccasins - Elizabeth and James
8. Knotted Shoulder cardigan - Burberry Prorsum
9. Tribute Stud bracelet - Yves Saint Laurent
10. WhoWhatWear book - Shopbop
11. Laser Cut Suede tote - Burberry Prorsum
12. Le Vernis #367 Trapèze - Chanel
13. Joan Of Arc necklace - Bing Bang

Snowflake

Something to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Actually, my fav out of the bunch from SMtown (:

Always wants; always broke

Dearest Anna Sui...

Why are you doing this to me? Why do you have to release those special boots when you know that a girl like myself would have to work her ass off to have them? When you know its almost the time to shop for the holidays? You are torturing me. But i can't hate you. I love you too much for that. Therefore i hope you would release more of the black suede ones in a size 8 at the end of the season. I can probably get my hands on them by then. Thank you. Peace, Love and Bubbletea! xoxo

P.S You're a genius

Freebie Five

What's the freebie five? According to Lainey's : "(...) a list of 5 'unattainables' you’d have permission to date/tap without consequence from your significant other should the opportunity arise. The key to the Freebie Five is fantasy, whatever turns your crank. My criteria, however, is also determined by celebrity. Two bit no-names, no matter how hot they are, don’t rank. Because while intelligence is optional, fame never is." Without further a due, my list consist of a neurosurgeon, a time traveler, a manwhore, a superhero and mr. perfect.

1)Patrick Dempsey aka McDreamy. A man who is charming, devilishly handsome and basically the kinda guy every girl goes to sleep dreaming about. Therefore, McDreamy. Meredith Grey couldn't have found a better nickname for him. It suits him SO well! He's the type of man you would want your parents to meet and know they're gonna love him. The uniform is an extra plus in my criteria ;)

The backdrop: It's mid November, a cloudy Sunday afternoon.

The scenario: Long conversations and a casual walk in the park. Coffee @ Starbucks afterwards. Later in the evening, we go movie renting and its either his place or mine with a good bottle of Chardonnay.
The conclusion: Anything can happen with a good bottle of Chardonnay :P

2) I admit i wasn't to fond of Eric Bana when i first saw him in 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. He did however caught my attention last summer in 'Troy'. I'm 5 years late, but the movie was good. Those who haven't seen it, two words: pecks and armors! Other than Brad and Orlando, he was really decent looking in the movie. And than came 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. O.M.G.

The backdrop: A bookstore with lots of old books.

The scenario: We both would probably fall upon a same book we were looking for. Short convo turns into a long one. Most likely we share common interest.

The conclusion: We would know each other as the perfect 'stranger' from the bookstore at first. The second time we meet, numbers are exchanged, which leads to the rest of the story.

3) Bradley Cooper. Manwhore. A girls always fantasize for a fling with the badboy heartbreaker. No matter how many times you convince yourself that maybe, MAYBE you could be the one that can change him. Chances are, it won't work because you see, they tend to go for the stubborn, hard-to-get ones. They want a girl who also knows how to play the game and that are naive looking. Which is why i think Renée Zellweger and him are prefect together right now.

The backdrop: A bar

The scenario: A free drink. Some casual talk. Flirting. More drinks. Pickup lines. Some more flirting. Out of the bar in less than half an hour of this whole thing.

The conclusion: Hungover but an unforgettable night.

4) Milo Ventimiglia is the type of person, i guess, that just draws you in. His charm, those piercing eyes and that beautiful smile. He's a mystery at first, like he was to Rory (Gilmore Girls!). But mystery is what we are pulled too and you end up discovering he's very kind, someone with a big heart and your typical boyfriend. I was a Rory and Jess shipper!

The backdrop: Record store

The scenario: He would most likely be the type to work there. I have a profound love for music (any type may i add). He wouldn't be noticeable the first few times i'd be there. Coming the 5th time or so, a random subject would pop out and that would be the first 'official' encounter.

The conclusion: Many dates to come.

5) Name me one asian girl who finds Daniel Henney non-attractive? Everything was given to him and i mean e.v.e.r.y.thing! His good looks, his killer body, his amazing personality... He is Mr. Perfect from head to toe.

The backdrop: Home

The scenario: He would be the guy who just moved in next door. The typical hot new neighbor who's gifted with the look and the money (lol). How would we met? I pull a 'desperate housewives' move on him: knock on his door and give him a plate of homemade cookies.

The conclusion: I've been told guys likes a girl who can cook. He would probably be turned on by my baking skills. Thus a blissful fling is called for ;D

This list is for fun purpose. I didn't put Jung Yunho or Robert Pattinson in this list. Because you see, I picture myself being in a relationship with one of the two. Jung Yunho and R.Pattz are a lifetime and they have a special spot in my heart. Plus, Yunho have gotten my mother's approval and she wants him as her future son-in-law! ;) I do find these men to be somewhat close to my ideal type. Don't you find they all have something in common? Over 30, a bit of a shag but still clean coif, well defined jawline and can pull the scruffy i-didn't-bother-shaving-this-morning look. Yes, that is how i like my man.

I have died

...And went to heaven <3

GORGEOUS!!!

November Issue

I woke up this morning with a massive throat pain, freezing cold and nasal congestion. The first thing that went through my mind: "I have a valid reason for not going to work and class today -grin-" HA! And no, im not swine. Well at least i hope not. AIDs has existed way before this disease came in the news a couple of months ago and i don't see why the nation making such a big fuss out of it. Seriously. And now, apparently the vaccine doesn't work. The eff? Anyways, a little nap, a good book and some Buckley's syrup (god, the nastiest shit everrr!) did the work. I feel a little bit better now though my throat is still a bit sore. It will probably get better within the next days.

I got bored from all the sleep and no one was home. Went online and started playing around Polyvore. I haven't worked on a set in the longest time. I miss doing this stuff. After watching 'The September Issue' last week, I felt like i was Anna Wintour looking through various runway looks and fall's latest trend. The woman is genius. I can't imagine anyone taking over Vogue after her. I also felt a big materialistic desire to shop. Im all set to go on a Mastercard swiping expedition with a friend on friday. -sigh- How am i suppose to save up for Hawaii when im like this? Oh god, its almost the holidays soon too. But like Carrie Bradshaw would say, "a pair of Manolo doesn't hurt, right?"

Here's my November Issue. Basically, its a list of non-affordable items for a minimum wage worker like myself. A girl can only dream to afford that Burberry trousers and Vivienne wool skirt...

1. Collage Easy Fit T - Helmut Lang

2. Pressed Tweed Pleated Pants - Burberry Prorsum

3. Neutral Smokey (Fall 09 Collection) - L'Oréal Paris

4. Embellished Toyko Top - Elizabeth & James

5. Drapped Tweed Skirt - Vivienne Westwood Red Label

6. Lita Wedge Booties with Lacing - Madison Harding

7. Faux Fur Belted Vest - H&M

8. Studded Galaxy Cantina Ring - Modcloth

9. Sand Sampson Knitted Wrap Cardigan - Malene Birger

10. Two-tone Cashmere Scarf - Denis Colomb

11. Nail Polish in Tokaido Express - NARS

12. Efrone Messenger Bag - IRO

Bella & Edward

Twilight has invaded my fb feeds, my work place and even my bus stop. I see posters of the movie everywhere now. I went through a fangirling phase at some point, not gonna lie. It did tone down a bit after a few months. But i get this feeling that i will be turning into a giddy tween again on November 20th. Here's the good thing, i will have something to update about in a two weeks on this blog (laugh) :D

Zomg, you can't deny the chemistry!!

CBU

"Where my heart still is, I admit i'm not to sure. When the sky starts to cry, I become reminiscent and lonely. Although I like to think that I've moved on, I can't help but think that I shouldn't have let go. I should've held on tighter.

The beginning was so pure and pubescent, virgin and untainted. When a person is gone, should you miss him or remember him? If you miss him, do you look back at old pictures and cry? If you remember him, do you think of the tone of his voice, his laughter? Do you think back to the conversations between you and him?

Conversations between Us?"

Taylor Swift

... the girl gets me.

Here's the situation

Need i say more? All and all, i'm a lot happier now.

One by one, a chain of memories would parade down the deep crease of my mind. Some marching to a familiar tune and childhood smiles, while most are recollection of pain and tears. Flashes of delicate embraces, the scent of blooming flowers and the light summer breezes. His quiet laugh, his warm smile and that long, deep gaze of his would dance lightly in my mind.

Yet, as each painted a pleasant portrait that struck my heart, each also held a weapon that was ready to attack with an even greater blow. Making me realize the harsh fact that my life was far from a dream.

Slow motion

We started talking again. Some of the people around me couldn't get it why i am doing this. But i am. I'm talking to him again. I've once told myself that either way, i would have to face him in the future and talk to him again. As of now, i don't know where he stands. I for one know that it can't go back to the way things were before. No matter how much he tries. We haven't talked about the cause of our "separation" so far. Thank god. I'm still sensitive about that particular subject. But i have thought about the possibilities of bringing it up to him without having me asking: what? why? and how?. Even though i've lost the person i cared the most at that time, i gained a lot from the pain he had put me through all those years. I find it a bit risky though. He knows me so much. More than i know myself! So sometimes, he catches me off guard and all the awkwardness between us is gone within a flash. I find myself being comfortable around him again. He wanted to see me and talk face to face. Go for a walk and eat ice cream afterwards. We used to do that when we were younger. We'd go for ice cream whenever we didn't feel good. -sigh- I'm feeling super nostalgic.

The City

Last weekend, a few friends and i headed to the city for the weekend. Had a great time in there and spent like no tomorrow. S got a super good deal with a traval agency in chinatown so we payed $140, bus + hotel + tour included. There where two groups for the trip, those who are with the tour and those going on a free tour, meaning the bus would dropped those people off at a place, leaving them doing whatever they wanted around the city and pick them up at the same place in the evening. We, of course, took the free tour. It wasn't as hard as we thought going from a place to another in Manhattan. The first day we walked around Time Square, the second day we shopped around 5th Ave and Broadway, ktown and chinatown. On the third day, it was Woodbury in Jersey with the tour group before heading back home.

It was my first time in the city but it somewhat felt as if i never left home. Seriously, when were were walking around 5th, it felt as if we were walking on Ste-Catherine back in Mtl. The two cities are really similar minus the shish kebab/hotdog stands at every corner of the streets, the yellow taxi and the +8.9 million citizens walking around the city. Nonetheless, NYC charmed me. I enjoyed my time there and would definitely be going again. I'll post some pictures up soon but for now i only have two pics from my phone. You can see something funny here. We witnessed Elmo, Cookie Monster and Bugs Bunny questionned by the NYPDs in Time Square haha. The kids walking by there were shocked. It was as if they've been told Santa do not exist. My face was icky that day. It was really hot and humid.

I received my 3rd and last rejection last week. Not surprised at all. I totally saw it coming after the last one. But anyways, I have another plan for the fall semester. I'll be taking evening classes instead for that quarter and register again during the winter admissions. I'm determined of my goals for now. I'll work my hardest to make it possible. I'm thinking positive :) Happy St-Jean to all of you today!

Guilty pleasure

Sunday's episode of GG was amazing! Sadly Chuck didn't get to wear purple BUT he was less vulnerable this time and i guess, pretty much found himself again. Manwhore Chunk is slowly making his comeback (yé!!!). I hate to say this, but i somewhat think Chuck and Vanessa look cute together and so does Blair and Nate =x. Now i'm not saying that i ship both parties but they don't look that bad on screen. I actually think Blair needs Nate in her life right now. Is she doing it for the right reasons? That i do not know. But i guess to keep the show moving, they where bound to have a fling somehow. Speaking of which, that Gabriel dude is HOT! Serena is one lucky pinkberry! Have anyone noticed the plate of carbs hiding Kelly Rutherford (playing Lily VDW) baby bump? Everytime she appeared of screen, i kept staring at her belly. It's huge!!! But then again, silk isn't the greatest material for a camouflage.

That episode made me think of my sweet sixteen and it made me jealous. What sixteen year old gets to wear a john teshing Missoni dress on her birthday?! Ugh. I wish i had a sweet sixteen party like Jenny minus the table dancers and the fake boujies. From what i remember, I didn't have a sweet sixteen. I remember just coming back from school, eating dinner with my parents and brothers and blowing the candle on my mini fruit cake. Sad, much? Yeah, but then again, sixteen was also the time when i went through a lot of stuff. So it's not worth remembering.

I've come to realize that GG is making want a lot of things and those things just aren't obtainable for a low-wage part time worker like myself. For me it's a big time guilty pleasure. I think i spend more time browsing on retailing/designers websites that i do with Twilight (i always get my daily vampire scoops). Oh well, as desirable those things are, it would be a long time til i actually earn enough money to buy them. Yesterday, i found this amazing website that somewhat fulfilled my desires. It's called Polyvore and what you do is you get to pick out any piece of clothing and accessories that you like and you make a editorial-like collages of all those items. I played around with it all night yesterday evening and i came up with this:

Isn't it amazing? You can click on it and it gives you the links to all the items and were to get them. I'm currently playing around and working on some other sets. I'll post some more soon. Now, before i toodle, I loveee The City (the spin off show of Whitney Port, the girl from The Hills)!!! Another guilty pleasure of mine.

Hobo hunting

The funniest thing happen this weekend. The weather was great on Saturday and for once i didn't sleep in. I woke up early that morning and had breakfast with my parents. One of my brother was working, while the other one was at his tutoring class so it was a quiet morning. Around noon my parents and i went out to do some grocery shopping. So in the car ride to the grocery store, Jai Ho by the Pussycat Dolls came up on the radio.

Mom: "What kind of song is this? It's so vulgar." (in khmer)

Me: "It's the english remake song from the movie Slumdog. You know, that indian movie we watched together."

Mom: "I know that. But why are they saying bad words?"

Me: "Huh? I don't hear bad words..."

Mom: "Wait, listen for it. See, right there at that part he's saying something bad! Shouln't they be censoring this?"

Me: "All i'm hearing is 'Jai Ho', mom."

Mom: "That's exactly what i'm saying. He's saying 'Giant H*e!' "

Me: "..."

Mom: "You see! He's saying it again. 'Giant H*eeee!!!' "

Me: *knock down*

Moving along. I got my copy of Twilight last week! Finally i'll get to watch my hobo sparkle on my TV screen. I know that i've read the books after watching the movie but the books were a bijillion times better than the movie. I guess it had to do with it being low budget and skimmed threw since the books were based on Bella's perpective. But then again, most movies don't always turn out to be like what they were in the books. They had a 3 disc collectors version at HMV but i'm content with my 2 disc one. The special features were fun to watch and i would do anything to listen to Rob talk with his English accent in the commentary part. It is drool worthy. Since i'm already talking about Twilight, the cast are in Vancouver BC and is currently filming New Moon. In Vancouver, Canada. ON MY EFFING CANADIAN GROUNDS!?! -sigh- Good thing i have a friend there. I'm having her go on a stalking expedition haha. She have reported finding the filming location but no signs of my hobo. As for the rest of the cast, she said some of them were spotted walking around downtown a few weeks back. I told her to stalk most of the coffee shoppe around dt. Maybe she'll bump into him ;)

Rob out and about around dt, Vancouver looking hot!!!

Edward Cullen comeback <3

*pictures credited to celebrity-gossip.net

Telenovela, anyone?

First of all, I totally suck when it comes to updating my blogger and I feel really guilty. I log in here often to read the updates of other bloggers but i can't seem to find the time to update mine. On one hand, i'm consistently running around, going to work and school. I'm also trying to spend some quality time with the family, which i've omitted the past few years. However, those who really knows me knows that I procastinate on most parts. -sigh- My mom is right. How am i suppose to find a husband if i keep on being a lazyball like i am right now? Big time fail!

Anyways.

I've been clued to my TV screen for the past few weeks it's ridiculous! Since my satellite dish died on us a month ago and we don't have cable anymore, my mom has been making me watch thai soap operas with her on DVD. Back in high school i used to be obsess with this. I would go to the "khmer vdo store" - which is basically someone's house- and rent videocassettes of dubbed thai dramas. But then, like everyone, i got swept in the hallyu wave. It wasn't until recently (dead satellite dish, nada cable, the lonely TV...) that i decided 'Yeah, why not?'. I might discover why i was so hooked to it in the first place and drift back to my innocent youth years. What other way to start my thai drama comeback with Jai Rao (which litteraly means 'Broken Heart'), starring the one and only Ken Theeradeth (might i add is a superb, a-listed actor in Thailand). There was 5 DVDs, each containing up to 4-5 episodes. One episodes last about 60 minutes. So in all, the whole drama is around 20-25 hours.

I completely devoured the serie within a day and a half. Insane? I know. I never knew how much i would miss whatching that stuff. The bitch slapping scenes, the forceful kiss scenes and the classic attempt rape scenes. I was at awe. The fangirl in me suddenly squealed and spazzed. It also made me want more. I've been making my mom rent some more DVDs. I've listed her a bunch a dramas but most the good and recent ones aren't dubbed yet. So i watch most of them online in the original thai version. I think it's good. I'll get to practice my thai again (:

My-oh-my was this week Gossip Girl episode hot or what?! It's about time they're returning back to their basics! The other episodes were so mediocre ever since Bart Bass passed away and Chuck -sigh my Chuck- went downhill. The Humphrey teacherpet-sex-in-the-wardrobe-closet in last week episode? o_O Come on, Josh Schwartz! You can make dirty more pleasant to watch than that and how thankful i am you did in this week episode. Leighton Meester totally delivered! I love how she portrays Blair Waldorf in the most evil-conceited-bitchy way. Though we did get to see a little bit of her softer side in the past episodes, but post-Yale Blair, i like it. Dorota yelling in Polish also made my evening; double the like! The only thing i didn't like was seeing Chuck vunerable and being turned away. He didn't even wear purple this week!!! T__T I can't wait til next week. Seriously. Little J sweet sixteen disaster, redemption in the form of Blair + Nate + Chuck + Vanessa triangle (or a square?) and Chuck wearing purple (oh he better be!). Everything old is indeed new again.

Before i go, I bought myself the April issue of GQ last week. My hobo cleaned himself up and is currently gracing their cover! I'm dazzled. He's simply gorgeous. And yes, i got the Twilight DVD. I shall spazz about it in my next post. I've writen enough for today.

En Bref

1- I lack in the update department but i'm still alive and living one hell of an exciting life (hence the sarcasm, thank you very much.)

2- School is pitiful.

3- Bank account is down to two digits. Crap!

4- Curse the work place.

5- Chris Brown and Rihanna...what the eff?!

6- My love for a hobo has not died yet :D

On vday, i had dinner with M. We were totally against the idea of it being a 'lovers' day so we decided to the spend the day together as happy singles. Those were our initial thoughts but as we had dinner, we felt hopeless. Being surrounded by couples on that particular day wasn't the greatest idea. Nonetheless, we both had a great time. Dinner was exquisite. We went to a thai vegetarian restaurant where my cousin works on St.Denis called Chu Chai. It was actually my first time eating there but i've tasted the food before. I still can't believe we didn't have meat. Everything looked and tasted so real! After dinner we headed across the street for dessert at Rockaberry. Despite feeling gloomy that day, i still received roses at the end of the evening, from my little brother. Yes i know, he's adorable (:

Music is my Life

I'm finally starting class tomorrow and I don't know if i should feel lazy or excited now. One things for sure though; i'll be heading somewhere else other than home or work during the day. I've been so unproductive during this years holiday vacation it's insane. I should have planned it out thoroughly last month. I feel like i've done nothing but being a lazy couch potato book worm. Oh well, i did have the chance to catch up on some tv shows i haven't watched in ages and reading a lot. Tomorrow class starts at 8h30 AM. I don't think there will be a lot to do except enduring the long trip to school in the morning traffic and listening to the professor giving us our course outline. I only have Physics this semester so i will end up having to attend class 2 times a week the most. With the free time on my schedule i thought about looking for a new job. If i'm lucky, i will leave my current place. I think i have had enough of the retail world.

Lately, other than books, i've been spending a crazy amount of money on music during the holidays. Yes, i mean that literally. I've been paying money for audio CDs. Now i'm not inversely implying that i've downloaded music before in the past, but let's just say some found their way into my files, for free. Regardless, i've been buying music now, and i feel really good about it. I know some people would say "The artist doesn't even get a penny from me when i buy their album" or "He/her have enough money already, they don't need my 10 bucks!". But after years of free music access offered to me, i've finally come to see things differently. It's true that major music artist don't get much of an album sale. But we are showing them support for their hard work and the people involved in the making process by purchasing an album. The same goes for independent artists whom our support really helps and that it ACTUALLY matters monetarily. When there's an artist i truly enjoy and support, i buy the CD to show that that singer/group has my support. And most of the time, i'm not disapointed of their work. So there, no regrets at all in spending your lunch money of the week into buying some records :P

This morning i went to the office supplies store to get some stationnaries and notebooks for school. Passing by the store, i couldn't help but going in the record store. I think i have bought a least 10 albums within the month plus another one today. They had one last copy of Marié Digby's album Unfold. I really love her album so far. I've watch most of her youtube videos in the past and the girl can sing/compose/play. My favorite songs are "Say it Again", "Voice on the Radio" and "Spell". The other songs are equally good but the meaning and lyrics of those three i love the most. I'm already looking through iTunes for some albums and listed a few to buy for my next visit to the record store. Strangely enough, i have a lot of Jazz albums i want. Jazz, i never knew i would LOVE listening to it so much and all of this because of Mr. Stevie Wonder and Corinne Baily Rae.

I also found a new love for 21 y.o. actress Ashley Greene aka Alice Cullen in Twilight. I can't help but go 'awe' over her. I love how she just fits the character of Alice so well with her petite pixie like look. I think she's so cute and super photogenic! She such a great model too. The editorial images at the bottom are from the Winter 08' Hollywood Life mag. I just had to use her as my muse in my banner. I'm really looking forward to see more of her projects in the future and of course, in New Moon. The girl is talented.

I have OCD

Obsessive Cullen Disease T__T God, I feel like a crazy 14 year old every time the name Edward Cullen aka Rob Pattinson is mentioned. And to think i didn't even know who the hell this smoking hot vampire was two months ago! I'm having serious case of insomnia and wild fantasies. I even changed my dream car (an Audi) for a shiny silver Volvo. They should seriously send me to a rehab center! It came to a point where i would giggle and blush every time i read certain passage of the books (and we all know the books just oozes of Edward's sexiness!). A lady looked at me once like i was insane when i started giggling in the bus while reading Eclipse on my way to work. I know some people have it worst than me but i feel so hopeless. I've been dazzled and i'm falling head over heels for hobo haha. Anyways, I finished Eclipse last week and i'm almost done with Breaking Dawn. It will take a while 'til i get over this craziness but i will sure miss the nights i spent reading the books.

Since the main subject of today's entry is Rob i found these scans of him and Kristen Stewart together. It totally reminded of Marlon Brando and Kim Hunter in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. I read the play back in high school for my english class and watched the movie. I didn't really pay attention to it back then. But because of the shoot, i got myself to watch the movie again yesterday and i loved it! In my opinion, Mr. Brando was one of the most fine looking men of that era followed by George Peppard and Sean Connery. Because of the movie, i did classics marathon after coming home from shopping. I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday and Casablanca. I have to get my hands on the dvds now!

qotd:

Rick: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.

Ilsa: But, Richard, no, I... I...

Rick: Now, you've got to listen to me! You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie?

Captain Renault: I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist.

Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.

Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

Ilsa: But what about us?

Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
