50/50

Woke up t th smell of my mum cooking pasta, a really bad hangover and 59 facebook notifications.

I woke up feeling pretty good though. Well technically im blogging for yesterday since its already Friday. Friday omg its Friday! Yeah like it matters t me.

Caught th movie 50/50 @ Cathay. Pretty impromptu, and it seemed like th only sensible movie out. No, im not a fan of Twilight. And also bc it was rated 5 stars. And indeed it deserved it. Though im not a movie fanatic, t an extent where i'd rather stone and do absolutely nothing than watch a movie, i have t say its one of th best movie amongst any others' i've watched.

Briefly, its about reminding us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are indeed th greatest healers. Its inspired by a true story of Adam, 27 year old who is diagnosed with a rare form of spinal cancer. Th movie depicts his journey throughout it, how he discovers th most important people in his life, finding humour even in th most difficult situations and though not part of th official review of th movie, i felt like it also brought out th importance of cherishing your life, as cliche as that sounds.

Its a really emotional and woeful movie, and i'd recommend it t anyone who's taking life for granted and th people in it too, speaking much from experience. I almost teared during a couple of scenes, and i don't usually cry at movies.

I guess th one part that really got t me wasn't about how his girlfriend cheated on him despite knowing that he's going through a tough time in life, which is pretty damn shit btw. And speaking about that, it definitely brings depth how he never gave in t self-pity though he had every reason t. Th part however, that got t me th most was his relationship with his mum.

Obviously Adam's mum was bottom out at th news of him having cancer and having a 50/50 chance of survival. Opinionatively, he's mum was th only one who was truly there for him every second of his transformative journey. And depicting how he kept pushing her away without having thought how she felt having t deal with th news at th same time live with her husband who suffers from Alzheimer's. Progressively he starts letting her into his life with th help of his therapist.

Aside from all i've blogged which might be really boring, haha. Th one phrase that sticks in my head is when his therapist said, 'you can't change how your parents are, but you can adjust t th situation'. And i guess that really struck me bc more often than not that's a problem with me. I get annoyed with th littlest things my mum does. Yes, my dad too(this part is for that idiot who asked me on formspring why i don't talk about my father) But what i haven't realised until now is th fact that i gotta stfu and adjust t th situation.

I'd watch 50/50 again, fo' sure. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as lead Adam Lerner, who also acted in 500 Days of Summer and Inception. Plus he's pretty cute. So if this didn't bore you that much, and would like t revamp inspiration into your life, catch th movie!

Overall my day was pretty good. squeezed boobs and waved at construction workers, walked from Little India t Cathay, played with paper planes in Cathay, bought shaver refills and a tank top from th male section of Cotton On, usual dose of Petrina's humour. I definitely need more chillout days like these.

It 5.15am. Im still fuckin' contemplating on Zoukout, and im left with today t decide. Im hesitant bc im in no mood t squeeze in a crowd of thousands for a line up that's not fantastic except for Avicii hehe.
