Blue Ballad

I’m in a very
romantic mood lately. You know, I just watched this Love Actually which is a very good one. I first watched this like…
three years ago. 

“Have you
watched Love Actually?” Once my
friend asked this to me.

 “Nah, I haven’t. Is it good?” So I replied.

“No way. It’s
rubbish. Just another dirty movie.”
 

Now, seriously,
if this Love Actually really WAS
rubbish, then the other

Hollywood

movies would
just be some despicable worthless existence… and I’m serious about this
statement.

So, what is it about?
Basically, this movie consists of several love stories. I love everything about
this movie. I love the theme song, I love the whole soundtracks, I love the
inspiring love stories, I love the way the people here convey their love, etc,
etc… 

Now, lemme tell
you about one of the stories. So, one of the characters here is Peter and he’s
going to get married to a gorgeous girl named Juliet (yeah, she’s gorgeous…
come on! It’s Keira Knightley I’m talkin’ about here!). Then, Peter asks Mark,
his best friend, to arrange his wedding party. So, then during the whole party,
Mark tapes Peter and Juliet on the cam… for his personal purpose of course.
Some time later, don’t know how long, Juliet calls Mark as she needs some help.
Her wedding video tape is disastrous so she asks whether she can borrow Mark’s.
Mark says that he’s not sure whether he has it or not. Then, Juliet suddenly
comes to Mark’s house. Mark tries to convince her that she won’t be able to
find the tape. To this Juliet replies that she thinks Mark never likes her
despite of the fact that Mark is her husband’s best friend. Juliet feels that
way as Mark has never been nice or friendly to Juliet and Mark never wants to
talk to Juliet. Juliet doesn’t like this and she hopes that they can be
friends. Mark then succumbs and lets Juliet comb through his house. And then,
Juliet finds the tape. She plays it and watches it with a great happiness. To
her surprise, the person taped there is only Juliet… it turns out that Mark
actually likes Juliet and that’s why Mark doesn’t want to talk a lot with
Juliet, you know… she is his best friend’s spouse… iiehh… self precaution, got
it? 

So, how are
things developing then? During a Christmas night, Mark comes to Juliet’s house.
Juliet opens the door and sees Mark carrying with him a tape and some writings
on several wide canvases. Peter then asks who it is and Mark immediately shows
Juliet the first canvas which says, “Say it’s carol singers.” And so Juliet
tells Peter. Mark then plays the tape pretending that there were some real
carol singers singing there and shows the rest canvases which conveys… okay,
lemme list it below, kay?

“with any luck,
by next year”

“I’ll be going
out with one of these girls”

sexy women-

“But for now let
me say,”

“without hope or
agenda”

“just because
it’s Christmas”

“(and at
Christmas you tell the truth)”

“to me , you’re
perfect”

“and my wasted
heart will love you”

“until you look
like this…”

super ugly female mummy-

“merry
Christmas” 

With that Mark
takes his stuff and leaves the house. After that, Juliet runs toward him and
gives him a kiss… on his lips (dude, a chick kissing her husband’s best friend?
Now, that’s something). After that, Juliet returns to her house and there Mark
is, walking alone in the dark night of Christmas Eve.  

Dude, isn’t it
nice? I mean, there aren’t many men in this world can be that sweet… yeah, I
know it’s script written, but isn’t it sweet? Then, after having enough with
that movie, I am now getting stuck with this nice song, I Love the Way You Love Me, Eric Clapton’s song sung again by
Boyzone… then I remember again how sweet love is. I remember the time I was
pushing my luck crushing on a very cute and gorgeous girl (come on… to me she
is way more gorgeous than Keira Knightley, Jennifer Aniston, Charlie Yeung,
Kelly Lin, Maki Goto, Gita Gutawa, and whosoever)… and yes, I was pushing my
luck back then. Then, several Christmases have past since then… and never once
I spoke the truth… and it’s stupid. Up to this day, I want to convey a lot of
things, convey how I enjoy every conversation I have with her… convey how her
smile means a lot to me… convey how the world seems nice when I’m thinkin’
about her… convey how I love her existence… convey how I really feel about her…
I want to convey my every single thought… I always want… 

The time has
slowly caught up, hasn’t it? I mean, I ‘m not a seventeen-year old boy anymore
and I don’t want to be another Mark… conveying love to some taken girl… nah,
that isn’t just me. It’s time to get my heart all ready… yeah, time to go all
out… or never… 

-out of all happenings that may take place in
this world, love might be the one closest to miracle-
