ελπίδα, πίστη, αγάπη

I was done reading this book two days ago but I didn't know what to say. I'm still pondering about the strange case.. Whenever I think of it, I sometimes get the chill, the anxiety that our mind is such an ocean- deep and mysterious.

Of course it is fiction and I know better that the phenomenon enshrouding Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde doesn't happen in real life. But the strange case, in an implied manner, of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde might also be a problem of most individuals.

It's a classic. It's a good book. Should I recommend it? I'd say yes to those who are interested with people and the way they think, and perhaps the way they act.

People always wear masks.

Sleuth is a 2007 English movie starring Michael Caine as Andrew Hyke and Jude Law as Milo Tindle. There was also a 1972 version, but they claimed that the 2007 was not a remake. This film transcended a very English feeling. Yeah, yeah. The accent, the lawn, and actors. But there was just something distinct about it.

I like the movie. It was amusing and entertaining. I like it when Jude Law in his character as Milo Tindle would pose and project a villain look. Very villain.

The other thing that amused me was Michael Caine. He played the role of Milo Tindle in the 1972 Sleuth. But in the 2007 Sleuth, he played the role of the writer Andrew Wyke.

When Karla came home yester night I realized that it was already Friday. She only comes home during weekends. When the thought sank into my thought-bombarded brain, I was like "Oh no! I didn't know." I got disoriented to day again. Happens a lot to me. The good thing is I am now aware that today is Saturday, 6th day of the last month of the year.


I've been watching a lot of movies lately, but not in movie houses. Just simple home movie marathon. I'm catching up. Most of the movies I watched lately were thrillers, psychological thrillers to be exact. I am not fond of horror movies, but if the theme dwells in the human soul and mind you can expect me to sit and watch. Never mind if there's no popcorn around. I don't usually grab the thing when I'm watching movies. Just pure "privacy" is enough. Morbid horrors don't appeal to me. They don't scare me enough. No, they don't scare me at all.

I remember watching Secret Window and Panic Room. These movies just made me grip my seat. Murders and death don't scare me. What caused these events do. When I realized what Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) had become in Secret Window, I became paranoid and never got out of it. It was bloody scary.

In Panic Room, I got my head keep wondering how Meg (Jodie Foster) and Sarah Altman (Kristen Stewart) would be able to get out of the room  or house safely. I've just remembered the scene when someone was hit in the face while the 12-year old Sarah was a witness. The memory is giving me shivers down my spine. I sometimes get carried away when a child is involved. The incident was traumatic. I don't like children being traumatized. Sarah Altman was diabetic and she needed her shot. She was already having hypoglycemia. When asked what would happen if she didn't get her shot, I said "Dead." Okay, I went ahead too much. There's still coma before death. When Kristen uttered those words, I cringed.

While roaming the net and reading articles about Twilight earlier, I found out that Jackson Rathbone will be in a thriller/horror called Dread. It's based from a book about students documenting people's fears. I want to watch it. It intrigues me. What would I do in the face of the thing I fear most? I'm close to addressing and facing my fear, but I am always on guard. It's too scary for me though there were times I don't mind talking about it. Carlisle was right, "Let the mind protect itself."
