"The Life Before Her Eyes"

I've just seen this movie, I have to say I didn't expected it.

You should see the movie "The Life Before Her Eyes", but really see it, don't read anything about it (like what I write next lol), don't make up your mind about the type of movie you are going to see... Just watch it, feel it and you might realize what I'm talking about.

Is is true that your life passes before your eyes when you are in the face of death? But is it your past or your future? What do you see?

My sister doesn't like films like this one, she likes something, how can I call it, solid, with a "the end". I liked the movie, maybe because it surprised me, it made me thing about lots of things, it made me come here and tell you about it.
I don't want to ruin it and start telling scenes and events but it's hard to explain what I felt without doing so.

When you're young, being an adult is so far away, you have your whole life ahead and it seems that everything is possible. You have your friends, you make your own mistakes and you learn from them, you grow up, you begin to see what life is about.
I never thought about my future, what I would do or how I would do it.

An event like that one in the movie, it changes everything. I've never heard of such thing happening in Portugal, only in the US and one European country. I have no idea how I would feel or react to that situation.
What makes a person do that? How mad, angry, disappointed, hurt would you have to be to hurt so many people? It's something I don't understand.
And this movie just skips it, it takes you to a single moment in time, the moment where you choose, the moment you find out what you're made of, how big is your heart, those seconds where you can see everything.
I really thought I was seeing her life, with her guilt, her sadness, her choices, her friend's dream life but I was wrong.


You should see the movie "The Life Before Her Eyes", but really see it! Just watch it, feel it and you might realize what I'm talking about.

It's time to go.
See u soon

Christmas....

Here I am, home for Christmas.

This year I0ve got a strange felling, it seems like this is not Christmas. Maybe that's because of all the work I had the past two weeks, maybe...

At least now I'm resting, taking a break from my student life, just a few days to charge back and return to work.

This year is going to be different, my cousins will only arrive on the 24th evening, hopefully before midnight. My uncle won't be joining us, we will spend his Christmas with his girlfriend's family.
I don't even care, I know it's a bad thing to say but that's the truth, we might be better without him here.
My grandparents are arriving tomorrow morning and the day will start.

I guess this is just like an ordinary holiday for everyone, family comes, they eat, open presents, the next day they lunch and that's it.

On thing I don't agree, but that's normal nowadays, is that people think Christmas is the only time to give gifts or the only time to be generous and it's not! Most just pretend everything is ok because is politically correct, it keeps appearances. I hate seeing the news when they show people saying "oh this year everything is too expensive, I've no money" but they still spend the money they don't have in gift when a simple thing would be much better, or at least a useful thing. I always ask my parents what they need, not what they want. I like giving them something useful, something they need now or that they will need soon than something that would only replace a old and still good thing.

I don't like spending money on stupid things, on thing that aren't just the ones needed. But hey that's just me...


ok let's wrap this up...
I just wanted to stop by and wish u all a very Merry Christmas!!! That your life can be full of joy, happiness and love with your friends and your family.

see u later


ps: I know something I can be a bit harsh but I need to let it out and this is the place I chose for it.
