Playing It Cool
I was awake (kinda long story) and trying to fall asleep. Stumbled on “burn notice” and when I was still not sleepy had to look for something else that was not really on my watch list.
The best part was that it was not your usual RomCom. The next interesting thing was the reference to

De surprise
After both sign an agreement with a company that offers to end their lives when they least expect it, a dejected millionaire and a disheartened young woman fall in love and have to find a way to get out of their binding contracts.
With a tag line like above, how was I supposed to start watching it. As I did, I realized that it was a foreign film and not the usual French or Italian or German or East European but Dutch. I don’t recall another Dutch movie that I have watched before.

Book to Film
Saw a tweet the other day from “Focus Features” about #NationalBookLoversDay with the question – “What is your favorite book to film adaption?” My immediate response was, LOTR, Hobbit, Godfather and The Princess Bride.
But of course I immediately realized that can’t be all. So the search begins.

It popped up on my recommended list and I started playing it without much thought.

Song(s)
When the cold wind blows
Just know that I have left
The fleeting breeze
Carries away only my yearning for you.
When the leaves fall
Just know that I have left
the falling leaves
Will only carry our memories together
When the cold wind blows
You will be lonely
Even so, do not
Think about me any more
One time
Your warm gaze
Brought butterflies
To my young heart
What is Love
Hoping that you are worrying about me as I am for you, and wishing you are pining for me as I do for you.
Is this Love?
Or,
Is it that you are not worrying about me, that you will forget about me and the moments we have shared.
Is this Love?
Or if neither, is it
That I am willing to go thru everything from the very beginning just so that I can meet you again?
