27 Dresses and Random Day of Events

Today was an on-the-spot planning day... did sooooo much!

1) Car Wash
So after that nasty incident the night before, went to get the car washed ASAP. Ended up waiting for an hour but at least its all clean now!

2) Happy Hour
Went to happy hour at yet another restaurant. Had nice couches to sit on for this one. The clams there were pretty good. No oysters though :(. haha...

3) Movie: 27 Dresses
It was surprisingly a pretty good movie. Some parts of the movie were very annoying and frustrating, but the overall story is pretty interesting.

Quick summary of plot: So the main character is supposedly in love with this guy, but her sister ends up grabbing the guy. To make it worse, the main character needs to plan the wedding for her sister and the guy she loves. Somewhere in the middle, the main character gets a chance to be with this guy, but by then, everything has died and she was in love with someone else.

This movie was interesting because it made me think. You can dream of this perfect person the whole time... but what if you finally get together with them and no sparks come out. All those hopes and dreams you had, all that anticipation just fizzling out. What would happen then? All that time wasted away dreaming only to have reality tear up your storyboard from the ground up. Knowing this, makes you wonder why people hesitate to bridge the gap between reality and eternity...

On this note, just started thinking that it is not really a fair comparison to compare a person you just met against someone you've known for a long time. I mean, no matter how compatible you are with a person you just met, is there really any way they can compare to someone you've known for a long time. How can someone who you just met understand you to the degree someone who've you known for say 5 years could?

I have always thought that there would be a person that can suddenly appear and completely surpass anybody I've met in the past instantaneously. But the more and more I think about it, the more I think it has never been possible; no matter how great that person is. Even if they can make 1 day equal 100, they'd still need the equivalent time of a month or so to even start to understand you at the same level as people you've known for a long time. If only I could have realized this earlier...

Finally, we all know you can't change people. Humans are known to adapt and evolve, and if the need is there, they will change. So what if you change who you are so you can match the person you are madly in love with...is this necessary the right thing to do? Given time, anyone can change if they want to. But can you still call yourself yourself?

And even if you end up changing who you are to match this person, no matter how much you can help them, if you cannot express your feelings, then nothing will ever come out of it. There aren't really fairy tales in this world... not if you are afraid to act.

All this from a 2 hr movie... guess I think about things way too much!... lol

4) Gameworx
Gameworx is this Dave n Busters like place. Played a few games here and there. It was a nice change from all the billiards/movies/bars that I've been going to recently. I think the last time I went to a Dave n Busters like place was back in Cali almost a year ago...

I also found out that I am a better darts person with my left hand than my right. I was actually able to finish a round of darts in less than 10 rounds with my left hand. But then it is not as fun playing with my left hand since I could not whip the dart at the board and hear that 'thud' sound.

5) Bbtea at Oasis
Yes... after all those things, still managed to grab some bbtea. Played tons of Big2.

6) K at 12 am
Hearing all of them songs, wanted to sing (even if I could not drink). So at around 11ish, called up Gossip to see if there were any rooms open and lo and behold, there was one. So we got up and walked down the street and started singing for the next 2 hours.

At Gossip, acquired a new skill: The Totoro Dance... hahaha
