Take a deep breath, and let your mind soar

PS, I LOVE YOU.

so yesterday melina and i decided it's been ages since we caught a decent movie, so we went to see PS, i love you upon hearing that it was really good.
what can i say?
ten minutes into the movie we had already begun sobbing like a couple of babies, and then towards the end of the movie i was pretty much wailing and melina was practically howling and making all sorts of snotty noises. :p when the movie ended, we staggered outside as quickly as we could and sought refuge in the toilets. for some reason, melina's face returned to its normal color in about five minutes whilst i spent the rest of the day with my face the color that somewhat resembles a baboon's backside. and for the rest of the day, i had the mother of all headaches. looking at bright light hurt and i was groggy and my whole face was sore.. LOL

it's been ages since a movie tugged at my heartstrings like that, and it's definitely one of my favourite films now - easily one of the best i've seen in the last year. it's simple and honest and i was so touched by how the guy seemed to know his wife, exactly down to what she would say, when she would say it. (guys, that means that i am going to force you all to watch it if you haven't already seen it, just like a walk to remember.)

this last letter, in particular, i felt like my heart was breaking..

Dear Holly,
I don't have much time. I don't mean literally. I mean your out buying icecream and you'll be home soon. But I have a feeling this is the last letter. Because there is only one thing left to tell you. It isn't going to go down memory lane or make you buy a lamp. You can take care of yoruself without any help from me. It's to tell you how much you move me. You have changed me. You made made me a man by loving me, Holly. And for that i'm eternally grateful. Literally. If you can promise me anything, promise me that whenver your sad or unsure..or you lose complete faith..that you'll try and see yourself through my eyes. thank you for the honor of being my wife. I'm a man with no regrets. How lucky am i? You made my life, Holly. But i'm just one chapter in yours. There'll be more. I promise. So here it comes..the big one... Don't be afraid to fall in love again..watch out for that signal when life as you know it ends.

P.S. I will always love you.

okay, fine, i admit that googling the letter is bordering on slightly psychotic/obsessive but i also downloaded the whole soundtrack.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (for all chick-flick lovers out there.)

on to other things, i finally quit my job because it was getting to stressful. i was gonna quit in 2 weeks' time
anyway but yeah, there's no point staying when i can't make sales and i come back cranky and ready to bite someone's head off. so yayy! i'm finally free to have some me-time, and do some reading and whatnot. the prospect of having the rest of summer to enjoy makes me very happy indeeeed :))

also, yesterday i walked past pet's paradise and i saw a kitten that cost $170. i'm hoping that i can get it.. so fingers crossed that my parents will say yes. surprisingly, my dad said that he'll consider it. no promises.. but that's more than i hoped for when i asked. so now i've got my hopes up really really high - because it's something i've wanted since forever, pretty much more than anything else since i was about 6 or so.
however, in the meantime i am going to stand in front of the kitten box in pets paradise and snarl and bare my teeth at anyone who looks potentially interested in buying my kitten.. (the one i held yesterday was all white with grey markings on its head and ears and blueish eyes) ...i wanna kitten i wanna kitten i wanna kittenn!!!!

anyway here are some pics from our camberwell market expedition.

jan with marcs shirt.. i think it's marcs.

my feet hurt and i had to stop and rest.. but lookie the shopping! :D

aww <3>
we will miss you when you go..

so before i leave you all,

ps, i love you :))
