Hawthorne Heights - Decembers
April 13th, 2006
“You don’t have to cover up how you feel when you’re in love.”
… really?
edit : when i first heard this sentence, i thought it meant this -
when you love a person, truly and really, you dont have to hide how you feel about that person for him to know how you feel about him, and for fireworks to begin happening between you two.
my bitter heart muttered, no, so not true.
after reading the sentence again. i find that it could also mean this -
when you are in a loving and secure relationship with a person, you can be yourself at all times.
i think in some cases.. a poster may engage you, make you feel like it was printed just for you, touch your heart .. but it’s really just very good marketing at work.
after a nap and listening to Decembers one more time, lo and behold, the damn sentence has another meaning -
when you are in a loving and secure relationship with a person, you can always let him know how you feel about him
i always avoid the L-word for a while when seeing someone. in some relationships, i dont even say it at all. but the truth is, i’m quick to love someone. very quick. i could meet someone, know them for as long as a 15-minute conversation, and love them. but sometimes the potency of that word can be so dangerous, especially if the other person holds it in high regard. then you are just so vulnerable.

“You don’t have to cover up how you feel when you are in love.”
The whole phrase is a misconception, merely a false notion brought about by a highly romanticised imagination. Love itself is a damn mind game, and there’s this constant battle (sometimes diplomatic) to appear more nonchalant than the other party for fear of impending loss, fear of future rejection, and fear of dullness. Covering feelings up when in love is like this effective defence mechanism which assures survival. Survival of pride, and survival of well being. Like they always say, we may be allies of the heart, but our minds are constantly warring.
And so you ask, “…really?”
Not really. No.

cK : but a nice song!
waifon : haha that is for you to interpret on your own i think! :) it’s a diff ending for diff people
hanna : i will take ur word for it :)
reallybites : why taking so long??
loud : haha i love it, your take on ‘feeling’ in regards to the sentence. awesome :)
fermented : you just described a few of my relationships :) i am starting to wonder, if a relationship with mindgames is a child one, or an adult one.

i never said the L-word rightaway :)
9. kristof | April 14th, 2006 at 12:25 am
the initial parts of a relationship are based on mutual lies and deceit, no?
10. Waifon | April 14th, 2006 at 2:14 am
Ok..then tell me your version of the ending. So tak puas okay. The show is so tergantung!
Have you heard of Rabun before? It’s the show before Sepet and I really wanna know where can I get it.
So that makes Rabun, Sepet and Gubra. How queer.
And I think the L word has been abused and for some people, taken granted off. It may mean a world to someone who holds it in high regard like you said but then again, it may seem to be just another word, like the other 20 000 words in the dictionary.
Love. and so?

george : makes it all the more sweeter when you DO say it for the first time, no?
kristof : untrue..
waifon : ahha super tergantung, yes. if you want me to see it from an objective movie plot sorta view, i am of the belief that jason didnt die .. :) and so after she split with Arif, she married Jason and hence the end of Gubra as we saw it. from a more abstract view, i think he died, and the scene at the end was to show how love transcends even mortality, and it was a very strong scene to further mengukuhkan the whole interracial love thing. and for Orked, jason ‘kept’ his promise this way. i am just very pissed at myself cos i was so busy squealing and shaking my date excitedly during the surprise ending that i completely missed the dialogue. :( yup have heard of Rabun but never watched it. as for the word ‘love’, i think it’s actually fine to abuse it .. haha just as long as you want to, and are ready to face the repercussions without griping.

i’ve heard of rabun, but i don’t know where i can get the vcd/dvd. any ideas? and about that ending…yea, if you’ve read my blog, you already know that i didn’t get to watch it, but i’ve read enough spoilers to know what it was about. “from a more abstract view, i think he died, and the scene at the end was to show how love transcends even mortality”. i like this version better. you speak my mind.
13. reallybites | April 14th, 2006 at 8:25 pm
coz no one wanna watch with me looo.my friends not into these kind of movies.i lend them the sepet vcd and they said the show is boring.they dont get it etc.i think they watched the first 10 minutes only.
blekkk.
14. pinkpau | April 17th, 2006 at 1:14 am
nyrac : did you check with the local video stores like Speedy? maybe you can contact yasmin ahmad and ask her .. @_@
