Flightplan











She's strong yet vulnerableShe's aggressive yet gentleI watched this movie ONLY because I love Jodie Foster. I watched Panic Room and I really couldnt even give it a rating because it totally fell below my expectations.

FlightPlan is a better version of Panic Room, however, although to some extent it's entertaining, but the plot appears to have a few loop holes.

My questions are: Why her, a plane engineer who has full knowledge of the plane policies?
What was the point really in using Arabs? If those two questions were fixed in the plot, I would have liked this movie better.

Nevertheless, it's just a movie to pass time, nothing more, nothing less. There is no special story except that Foster's performance is always brilliant, emotional yet full of stamina.

tired...

I'm tired, I think I've spent more than half of my waking hours during the past 2 months on a train. Been to Hungerford, Derby, Newbury, Stockport, London, Leeds, Nottingham, Hull, Blackburn, Preston, Altrincham, and Sheffield.I wish work would have some mercy on me! love my job but getting quite sick of the commute.

Random thoughts in my head

6 million children die of hunger a year, starving to their demise
They just examine and exclaim and say and blether away
9 yr old witnessing murder, parents stabbed to death
Conveniently, murderer kills himself before getting sentenced to life
Black boy killed near a bus stop, for fun axed to death
White boy shows no symptom of self-reproach or remorse
Pregnant woman beaten to paralysis by a drug addict
Junkie remembers nothing but fears he did it

Sudanese rebels and the government in chaos
An American plotting to assassinate George BushS
choolgirl bullied because her breasts are 36k
Historian charged with violating the law of denial of the existence of the holocaust
People assuming that women ask to be raped by flirting,
Welcome back the Middle Ages with the modern form of burning witches
Rape crisis in this country and that country
Largely unchecked by the police and the judicial system
Protect your safety and common sense or your civil rights and the right to be stupid
Because we can’t sensationalise the results to challenge the system
To perpetuate discrimination and inequality
Pop group ‘Cradle of Filth’ bid: a T-shirt slogan ‘Jesus is a cxxx’
Stupid people pretending to rebel against an ebbing memory of religious traditions
The things they say “I long to be connected, affected”
Confessions and sentences for life
And then comes "invisible condom" in a can, just spray and sex
What an amusement, who cares after all?

Spectrum of Emotions

My feelings pretty much hovers over a spectrum of every color and shade that may exist or not exist. I think or better yet I'd like to be mature in the way I cope with my emotions be it happiness or sadness.

To me, happiness is only momentary, it's a moment that one must embrace. Other times seem stagnant to me and when sadness creeps on me, I deal with it maturely. I'm certainly not the sort who falls to pieces and waits for somebody to pick the pieces up for her. It never happened and I guess Im not prepared to be that fragile either.

I've fought through a lot of hurdles in the last 5 years and that has made me stronger.I could be strong, independent, hard-working but I'm also soft, at times needy for love and support and I'm famous for being totally compassionate.Im impulsive, easily hurt, at times charming, I love complimenting beauty, I hold no reservations or hesitations to be who I am. I know no shame or humility - perhaps that's my weakness.

Love - Im a hopeless romantic too (I think) but that's only when the right person comes along. My emotions can be quite erratic too. They can shoot through the skies and can grow very deep rooted. I sometimes feel schizophrenic. Emotions oh emotions... I wish I had it in me to write a passionate poem... see, poets need inspiration otherwise they write crap! makes sense now?

I suppose I'm just feeling a little melancholic because 5 years ago today, there was a big change in my life and I'm just looking back now and wondering how one person could take away all my dreams. Oh well! it made me stronger in so many ways :-)
