in fair verona~

i had a bad case of food poisoning yesterday... kept throwin up alot.. not cool~ it was really gross actually... n because of all the puking, ididnt really eat much... so i was just puking water -_-

anyway, that was yesterday, n i feel better now... still a lil groggy but its all good~ plus, i slept for like 13hrs the entire day so im alert now, feelin really weak but all in all, everything's cool~

passed the time reading alot of the novels n online references to literature.. mainly shakespeare's... n i must say, i am truly impressed... its incredible how such artistic forms of literary works can be created back in the 16th century~ its so profound and alluring on its own, but to actually understand the meaning behind the fancy words...

i mean, wow...
its literally art in the form of words~

i used to read his plays n sonnets cause the words seemed "sexy", but to actually study the writing indepth n understanding the interpretation will blow ur mind.... i just cant believe how a man can create such magnificent compositions~

i downloaded the 1996 William Shakespeare's Romeo+Juliet by Baz Lurhrmann ( the one with Leonardo Dicaprio & Claire Danes) just for old time sake... after like 2 hrs i clicked the preview button & turns out it was dubbed in French -_- so i downloaded another one n watched it...

the 1st time i watched it was back in 2000 when they first premiered it on Channel 5... i didnt really get it then~ i thought that the words they were saying were just made up by the script writers.. so then i went n borrowed the actual R & J from the lib n found out it wasnt made up, it was taken from the actual script written 400 years ago...

so now, watching it for a second time, its more appealing then before since i'm more familiar with the story n other details in the movie... It was a brilliant adaptation of R&J set in modern times where guns where used instead of swords & cars instead of steeds... n i must say, Lurhrmann did a great job in maintaining the originality of the movie. he managed to adjust the story into a modern day scene, using subtle references from the original play n incorporate them into the movie in a different form to make it more eccentric but still maintain its authenticity~

whenever your free or got nothin better to do, go wiki the whole romeo & juliet story, read it up... learn about the individual characters & certain significant events (like the famous balcony scene).... then go watch this movie again~

its not simply a story about love....
its a story about love at first sight, forbidden passion, freedom of devotion, prejudicial injustice & tragic ignorance~

not to mention how hot claire danes was in that angel outfit of her's : )

its really a beautiful thing.... n to have an appreciation for this stuff is truly self-satisfying~





"Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it sight,
For I never saw true beauty till this night~"

-Romeo+Juliet



couldn't end without quoting something from the movie now can i : )
cheers~
