Hello I'm back to watching independent films but I'm trying to restrain myself from doing that only during weekends. Yea, trying very hard though I'm running out of them to watch. No! Oh yea, so I caught TCB yesterday night before I sleep, heh my favorite time everyday.

It was heart wrenching, watching how Charlie had to sacrifice his own personal social life to take care of his problematic kid brother after their mother's sudden death. To me, I found it to be very common among dyfunctional families. Inevitably, the kids must fend for themselves. And then their life goes on a roller coaster ride when their father returns and Charlie finally found someone he loves. This calls for a tough choice - Romance or Family? Charlie chose family in the end, which I find it difficult to comprehend. Somehow perhaps because I was always the youngest and I do not have added responsibilities, I tend to be more wilful and selfish. Frankly, I would choose romance. Why not, I mean hey since the father is back and he wants to make amends, why not let him do it while I get to spend time with my lover.

I guess the addiction of watching independent films spurred my interest to further studies in the US since most films I watched are set in the States. Oh well, still that is an issue two years later. Right now, I shall cross my fingers for the remaining papers to be returned. Hopefully it will come true.
