Goodbyes


SWEET NOVEMBER (2001)



So a friend of mine told me a few weeks back on how she wanted to live a sweet november-esque month before she departs for the summer.
Here is the summary of the screenplay.

Keanu Reeves is a typical businessman who devotes his life to his career. He meets Charlize Theron, a woman very different from anyone else he has ever met. His arrogance and ignorance leads to her failing her DMV test and she decides to track him down to make him pay for what he did. She beguiles him and convinces him to spend a month with her on the promise that she will change his life.
Throughout the course of November the two set off to different adventures. Eventually Nelson realizes that he is deeply in love with Charlize and asks her to marry him. Sara reveals she has terminal cancer. Because Sara cannot bear to have Nelson experience her decline in health and eventual death, she asks him to leave. For a time Nelson complies with her wishes, but then stages a surprise return during her Thanksgiving dinner.
What seems to be a perfect reunion is ruined when Nelson wakes up the next morning to find that Sara is once again asking him to leave. Sara tries to run away but Nelson runs after her. Eventually they catch up and in the tearful scene that follows Sara asks Nelson to leave so that he will always have only happy and strong memories of her. Sara explains that she needs to know this is how she will be remembered, so that she can face her last days in life.

No my friend does not have cancer. Yes it's very dramatic how they just both fall in love, well that's what Charlize makes it seem but in reality she does know she's leaving and he doesn't so he falls unconditionally without knowing that the break-up or the good-bye is inevitable. isn't that twisted!
She eventually changed her mind though.... CHECK IT. 


I know well it was a fun plan yknow i dowanna be a buzz killer here, but actually maybe i was just afraid that this might be my fate too... and no, that's going to be hurtful. My Charlize is leaving tomorrow. Hopefully I'd see her in 2 months..., if not I'd have to go to Les Roches in Switz to see her lovely ass. I'LL MISS YOU BITCH.


At my utmost glum moments this girl has showered me with her words of wisdom...
 "just have fun do whatever you want and say whatever you want to now. you'll never know what will happen tomorrow. its hard but make this the best time of your lives and just think that these moments you establish you would be able to reminisce later. you know there are a lot of people here who love you more, maybe even times infinity. Like me, you can count on me to spend a lot of time having fun with you when the time to leave comes. just savour every moment you have in your hands."


I’ve had my share in departures in life… Not only people coming and going but I even have to deal with me leaving... up to this day, I have never found the good in good-bye or the fair in farewell. Sometimes i thought that well good-bye should never be said since saying good-bye means going away, …and going away means forgetting.yet, it is indisputable that often times what you leave behind could never be taken back. Everything changes eventually, that's just the way life is, and you have no control over it. Like...suddenly people who you think are always going to be there...they disappear... you know, people change and they grow up or they just forget.For what it's worth... it was worth all the while. I'd say good-bye without turning back. 


OKAY IMA SHUTTHEFUCKUP now.

tomorrow... i should give you the lowdown on by far the best roadtrip I've done! also, updates on some fashion.
