Halloween costume

Huhuhu! I couldn’t find my starry tights! I’m afraid I threw it away the last time I cleaned my closet. What a bummer! And I had already decided to go as a starry night too… =( But I think I can still go as one because I found an old top with silver stars on it. It’s from my sister and is a little tight on me that’s why I don’t really wear it - which gave me an idea: deconstruct. So now, instead of wearing the cute vintage dress I found, I will just make my own costume from scratch. I made the top into a tube and used the lacy sleeves as choker, and still thinking if I should add strings that will go from the choker to the bust area, yeah, and I took the studded collar to use as a head band. I tried it on and it looks okay, I think it can work. Now I gotta get me a skirt, and maybe, some wings too, I can be a goodnight dream angel or fairy or something. I did want to wear wings anyway.

SIGH!

But doing crafts like this is actually fun. I needed something that didn’t involve using the computer. Something different to refresh myself. I think I’m on the computer too much. =X

Hello!

It was because of miscommunication.
We weren’t clear on which day we were to see Nightmare Before Christmas that’s why we got so mixed up. I thought his class field trip was only until 9am that day, not 9pm; he thought I meant we’d see the movie the next day. Well, it’s done and over with.

We saw Into the Wild last night. Great flick, I loved it! I know that the book version will make you think of Christopher McCandless as very annoying and someone who deserved what happened to him, as opposed to the film version which will make you put him on a different level, see him on a different light and actually feel sympathy for his actions, courage and reasons. I sure did!

(The book has 199 active holds; I’m currently the 200th!! Good thing the library has 30 copies.)

Sean Penn did a great job directing and kudos to the cinematographer as well. I also dig the soundtrack done by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. And of course, Emile Hirsch did a fantastic job playing McCandless, or, as Chris dubbed himself, “Alexander Supertramp”.

One more thing, my favorite part of the movie is probably the time he spent days with Ron Franz. It was killing me when Mr. Franz proposed he’d adopt Chris and he could be his grandfather, and tears were rolling down his cheeks. It was such a heartbreaker!! *sigh*

And here’s my favorite quote from the movie:

“Happiness is only real when shared.”

Production and acting are excellent!!
This has got to be one of my most favoritest movies!!
