i have always been a fan of will smith. but this is by far his most amazing role. and the very fact that it was inspired by a true story made it all the more touching & inspiring. just the thought that there are people out there (me as a fine example) that have so much but still constantly pine for more more more, make me feel guilty and ashamed. and when he was told he got the job as a stockbroker, oh my! it was waterworks all round.. me and marina decided to catch it in impulse and did not regret it a single bit. =) left a nice warm fuzzy feeling afterwards.. very cliche but heartwarming "you can do it!" kinda moral of the story...
which comes as a very timely reminder that its the simple things that really matter.
i didn't call home when everyone else was having a party at home. i was a coward. or maybe it was sour grapes. or maybe i just didn't want to be sobbing on the web cam cos i wanted to be there with everyone else. but my christmas here wasn't half as bad as i thought it would be.
i did get to spend it with Lorreine's tiny family, played with gigi and went to midnight church service. very low key, nothing fancy but all that i wanted. and when i woke up in the morning. at 7am sharp, like a kid, we unwrapped presents in PJs, exchanged hugs and kisses and had warm milk for breakfast and lay under the tree to look at christmas lights...
my kinda christmas...
merry christmas love, sometimes the simplest affairs are the most heart warming ones. be thankful!
