Before Sunrise & Before Sunset

Just the next day when I sawin 2005, I ran out to buy theDVD.

Soon, this movie entered my top 5. When my sister called from Chicago to ask me what present I want, I told her I want the script ofwithout a dault.

For a long time, I have much envy on those people who are so earnest with everything: life, work, friends...
Their laugh, cry, sadness are so true for me.

I care about those things, really , but not in that way. I always dault many simply things, falling in love, have a kid, get a job, buy a house...thinking about my way spending my life, I feel so blankly.

Actually, it's a sad story.

Jesse: In the months leading up to my wedding, I was thinking about you all the time. I mean, even on my way there; I'm in the car, a buddy of mine is driving me downtown and I'm staring out the window, and I think I see you, not far from the church, right? Folding up an umbrella and walking into a deli on the corner of 13th and Broadway. And I thought I was going crazy, but now I think it probably was you.
Celine: I lived on 11th and Broadway.
Jesse: You see?

~Sometime we are just too pessimistic about relationship.

Celine: Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.

~Yeah, some time I just want to throw away those bad memories, but, will my tiny wonderful memory also pass out of my mind?

Jesse: Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer, we'd never learn anything.

~Is learning make your life any sense?

Jesse: Oh, God, why didn't we exchange phone numbers and stuff? Why didn't we do that?
Celine: Because we were young and stupid.
Jesse: Do you think we still are?
Celine: I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.
Jesse: And you can screw it up, you know, misconnect.

~I belive that. Now my life is beginning its second half, when I've missed someone before, I thought that was ok, because I would meet someone later. Now I just realized that the best of my time has gone.That someone would never come back.

Celine: They enjoy the goal but not the process. But the reality of it is that the true work of improving things is in the little achievements of the day.

~I have said those words, I care about the process, not the result. Boo shit! The process is make up of the tiny achievement you got

Celine: Yes, of course! Now that makes total sense, right? You're a Capricorn, I'm a Sagittarius, that's why we get along so well!

A sad song too.

One Waltz for One Night



Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night
Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you 're gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing
But you were much more to me
Just so you know

I hear rumors about you
About all the bad things you do
But when we were together alone
You didn't seem like a player at all

I don't care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day
I just wanted another try
I just wanted another night
Even if it doesn't seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I've met before

One single night with you little Jesse
Is worth a thousand with anybody

I have no bitterness, my sweet
I'll never forget this one night thing
Even tomorrow, another arms
My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand
