Sometimes life takes you by surprise. In the darkest of night, there're always stars.
Sometimes I am so drown in my own head that I forget I am living in one of the greatest place in the world. ( I haven't always felt this way about Los Angeles, but here it is, growing on me)
The past few weeks have been the most eventful since I've been here. One night in Pre-production class, we had the great talent, Buddy Bregman, as our guest speaker. I was one for mezmerizing about the good ol' days of glamourous hollywood. That whole class... I was right there with him, having tea with the Beatles in BBC studio, playing piano arranging music for Ella Fitzgerald, rubbing up against Frank Sinatra at a party. It was such a beautiful dream.
The following weekend, I was sitting in the theatre watching Insomnia and The Dark Knight, both directed by Christopher Nolan. The director himself appeared on stage and talked about his new film Inception. I was over the moon. Life threw me a bone, and I happily savour til the last minute of it all.
It is the land of possibility. As I had told myself back in the day, in the yellow bedroom where the plane always flew over my head taking people home, I told myself to keep my eyes open. Feeling sad is a luxury I can't afford right now. When eyes are full of tears, they won't see anything else but tears.
As Charlie Chaplin had written, also Michael Jackson's favourite song, " Smile"
