The pieces don't fit anymore

It’s my hell week this week…midterms part 2 in EC113 (which by the way, I almost failed the 1st part except that my prof was really generous that he curved our grades), LS100 reporting, History165 Long Test, FIN103 quiz, Fin103 homework, and History paper group deadline. Nice…really really nice. Happy Valentine’s Jo…

Anyway, it is Sunday night and by now I should really be starting to read the tons of reading materials in History, make my part in LS report or at the very least study for my EC113 Midterms for tomorrow. It’s 11:15 on my watch right now. I usually sleep at around midnight. It’s not because I want to sleep late but somehow it already became a habit of mine to start thinking about sleeping when I see the hand of the clock ticking closer and closer to number 12.

I studied Eco until 8 pm tonight. I ate until 8:30…and then I remembered that QTV will be showing My Best friend’s Wedding at 9 pm. Yup, your guess is right. I am totally crazy, slacker and crammer for not studying for the rest of the night and by just watching the movie.

Anyway, I really like these kinds of movies…and you know what? Sometimes you can realize many things just by watching these movies and by understanding the stories…

For those who did not watch the film and for those who already forgotten the storyline (because the movie is sort of “old”…Julia Roberts cell phone was even as big (or bigger) than cordless telephones), the story goes like this. Julianne (if I am not mistaken), who is Julia Roberts, and Michael were the best of friends. Julianne realized that she was in love with her best friend. However, she found out that he is going to get married in four days. So she did all she can to break up the couple. In the end, she almost succeeded. But she realized that she’s been a complete fool for trying to jeopardize the happiness of her own best friend and of course the soon-to-be-bride. In the end, it finally happened…her best friend’s wedding.

Falling in love with your best friend? Some say it’s a sin. Some say that it cannot be avoided. But when you do, you just have to make a choice whether to welcome the feeling with arms wide open or just slide it at the back of your mind and just kill the growing fondness while you can.

Sometimes you just have to give up. Wake up and stop daydreaming that someday he/she will feel the same way. Unrequited love is sometimes unbearable…and just enough reason to let go.

In the movie, Julia Roberts gave up. Not because she stopped loving, but because she stopped being selfish. Loving is never a one-way street. In her case, I guess it was.

Just to end this entry, I just remembered some lyrics that a friend of mine told me…

Well I can't explain why it's not enough, Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
It’s the better thing to do,
It’s time to surrender,
It’s been to long pretending.
There’s no use in trying,
When the pieces don’t fit anymore, Pieces dont fit here anymore.
