And it still makes me happy

[forever_wandering]

Today, I decided to tackle my closet today. If you simply open my closet, you'd think it was fairly organized: Shoes in place, clothes neatly hung and four plastic containers used for the storage of random items. 

Those. Containers. Are. A. Disaster. 

Cleaning the closet usually involved opening those containers and shoving in whatever fit. Today, I finally decided to hold my breath and open each one to see what exactly I had forgotten all about. What did I find? Only one of my favorite movies of all time! 

フレンズ / 프렌즈
(Friends 2002, Starring Won Bin and Fukada Kyoko)

Of course, I forgot all about finishing up the closet. As fast as I possibly could, I grabbed a bag of grapes, popped the DVD in to my DVD player and curled up on the couch to watch it. Despite it having aired in 2002 (10 years ago. Oh my goodness, I feel old.) and me having seen tons of movies in that time period, I can still say that I love love love love this movie! 

Part of the charm is that there is nothing fake about this movie aside from it being...well, fake.This movie doesn't hit close to home for me. It hits home right on the roof! Take and I met under similar circumstances--a local giving a tourist with a problem a much needed hand. Much like the relationship between these two characters, our relationship began to blossom through emails and an entire year went by before we could finally be together. I watch Kyoko's character in this film and always find myself thinking: Girl, I get you. 

Every girl wants that like-in-the-movies romance and happy ending. This movie gave me that.

Of course, after watching the movie, I was forced to whip out my photo albums and take a walk down memory lane. Not gonna lie. I miss him.

This week I forced myself to clean my drawers, cause I couldn't find anything in them =_=; I found so many old stuff which brought so many memories! Like letters on tiny pieces of paper which I was writing with my friends in classroom .I didn't even want to read them to not think how stupid I was about some things OTL

You didn't want to read them, but in the end, did you do it? I think I would have read them! Even if they were stupid, they are memories of our young days! Sometimes it's nice to remember!

I love that movie! It's sappy at times but super sweet and of course I can see why it would hold so much meaning to you <3

When I think about 2002 it doesn't seem like that long ago, but 10 years is a long time, isn't it? :S

[kurikuribebi]

Hey you! Gorgeous icon! I'm in love with it!

Yea, it has it's sappy moments but it's nothing compared to the things I hear and see coming from teens now-a-days! There was this couple I used to work with who would put this movie's sappiness to shame =P.

It is! I didn't realize it myself until I was writing this entry. Time is seriously going by too fast. You know, I'm guessing this is how our parents feel!

It's understandable that you still miss Take. Do your best and keep the fond memories with you.

And enjoy the random finds you get when you actually clean out the depths of closets. I magically found the detachable kotatsu plug I thought had vanished completely and was ready to buy a new one... when I opened up a random box under my bed in the back as I was doing 大掃除. X_x

A plug would be one of the last things I'd ever expect to find! lol.
It's funny how we put things in boxes to tidy up and then the boxes themselves become the mess.
I want to get rid of a lot of things that I have so that I no longer need boxes. It's all sitting here collecting dust and someone might need it.
