read between the lines
there and back again being a true-blue lotr fan, i saw the fellowship of the ring on tv on sun n mon....all parts were very memorable...n all the emotional parts, n the parts where the good struggle with the desires of the ring, or where it was the ringwraiths versus the good guys......reminded me even more so of this life. how this is a spiritual battle we fight everyday, good versus evil, how there is more than what our eyes see, how we are prone to greedily or lustily fulfilling the desires of our hearts (the ring) if left alone, without a samwise gamgee (god) to stop us, how evil (ringwraiths) is always on our tail, n how we have to flee from it, or overcome evil with good / the light and truth (gandalf's light-wielding staff).gandalf fighting the balrog, n that great monumental scene where he says for one heart-stopping moment, "You...shall not...PASS!!" hints of a biblical reference embedded in it. yup, was thinking of moses. n my current fave verse: exodus 14:14 (see previous posts). yeah, thank clay aiken (partly) for that ;). n of cos who can forget the scene where gandalf sits with frodo in the mines of moria n says, "you can only decide what to do with the time that is given to you," in response to frodo's words of "i wish the ring had never come to me." oh, how we all sense that our feelings are embedded in frodo's cry of regret at some point or another. n here is god, encouraging us n giving us a hope that will never fade away. also saw the O.C. season 2 on sun nite on 8tv....very very happy to see it, since s'pore tv doesn't have it yet....wanted to find out what happened after that cliffhanger where ryan made teresa pregnant while having jus got back with marissa. apparently, a lot has happened. seth left for portland the day ryan left for chino (to look after teresa n the baby)......but in the end teresa lies n says she had a miscarriage (her mom told her to n said it's for the best.....what the?), n ryan's under pressure to come home...so ryan n seth come back home to their parents in the Orange County n it ends there. n meanwhile marissa has been drowning her sorrows in wine and in the company of seth's ex, summer. n now it is time for me to take my bow n leave or i wil never get ard to doing it.....haven't finished editing my advertising notes yet....cos the teacher's notes are, like i said, big boring chunks of words. and before i forget, it's good friday tomoro. my cf teacher last time used to say there'd always be a rainbow every good friday or sth great like that.....so keep a lookout for it tmr. |
