As i sat down on the couch, i contemplated how lonely and ghastly my 27th day on this earth was going to be!!!! I'm broke as a cowboy from Brokeback Mountain and i'm single so i guess i'd just watch whatever's good on TV. I channel surfed like some crazy bleach blonde surfer in Hawaii til i came upon EWTN's Christmas Special movie. There's this naughty kid doing all the funny pranks and tricks on the townsfolk and the friars who adopted the poor lil orphan.
Although he's such a trickster, they all loved him nonetheless. Maybe it was his sweet innocent face or youthful exuberance? I mean little simple things made him smile like hot soup, tasty bread, or some apple he got from a cranky old lady peddler in the market.
I guess it rubbed off on me like even though i have nothing to prepare for my so called big day, at least i'm alive or something..
It's still sad though cuz most of the people who know me like friends and family forgot about it..Sigh! But i guess they're just busy or preoccupied with something.
Let's get back to Marcelino Pan Y Vino now.. I liked how the movie ended cuz he was asked by Jesus if he wanted to be friar or see his mother. The boy told Him he wanted to see his mother and Jesus' mother too. A friar witnessed how the Lord came down from the cross and took Marcelino in his arms and gave him eternal rest.
I was overcome by emotion when i saw he died. I cried Swarovski crystals cuz i was dying inside too.. I know it's
freaky but i kinda like sleeping with butterflies!
