They Came, They Saw, They Conquered

BEP rocked the new arena last night. There were so many people, the crowd was very enthusiastic to say the least. It was lotsa fun except that the entire show was over before we were all partied out. Thought of heading for the after concert performance at one of the clubs in town but it seemed like the entire arena was headed in that direction, so we didn't bother.

Decided on Tuesday to be the moving day to Van. So excited yet so nervous. I guess being there and having nothing much to do will force me into finally finding a job. Actually sending out resumes (which is in dire need of being updated) and trying to sell myself. Arrrgghhh....

Anywho, just came back from watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Cinderella Man. Yes, all in one sitting. They were both very good.

While watching the Traveling Pants, I kept asking myself which of the 4 girls I could identify with the most. It was a tough choice between Lena, Tibby and Carmen. The Lena in me understands how getting caught up in a role is tough. While passionate about somethings, we come to see ourselves as having to hide the real us behind a curtain of prim and properness. Once you let go of all that inhibition, only then do you lead life to the fullest.

Tibby is a tough girl. She goes around pretending like she doesn't care but underneath it all, she was just afraid of feeling too much. My interpretation of that role is that she is afraid of her life not amounting to anything by being stuck in a dead end job. Perhaps that's just me.

The matter on which I feel connected to Carmen is the fact that we are both on the chubby side. I admire the fact that she dares to wear whatever she wants despite being a bit heavy. I can also identify with the matter of her not being honest with her dad about how mad she actually is with him. Often a time I cannot stand up to my parents. They make me mad all the time and I let them ruin my day way too often. Sometimes, I think that the only way to foster a decent relationship with our parents is by being apart.

For some reason, I did not really connect with the other girl, Bridget. Or whatever her name was. She was tall, gorgeous, blond and the star of a football team. I never was one of those popular jock type.

Of all the four girls, perhaps right now I am a Lena.
