I really enjoyed watching this one!

A Starry Starry Night, is the story of two young kids and the friendship they form whilst encountering the harsh realities of life. Its a truly touching film that beautifully depicts the mind of a child who is experiencing the breakdown of their family. The loss, the anger, the confusion is presented subtly, but still so effectively. So much of this film is communicated through small expressions and meaningful glances. It is reflective of the tense situations in which not much is said and not much can be said, however the obvious lack of spoken words speaks volumes. Even the relationship between the heroine and hero is not one of deep conversational connection, however their appreciation and mutual understanding of one another is clear and deeply felt by both. I also really appreciate the honestly and lack of pretense in their relationship which is probably due to their young age. [That's another thing that sucks about aging, you become more self-conscious].
This film is not a tear-jerker, thank GOD! but it does tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a "kind" ending.

...possibly even better than the original!

Two musical actors sing Come What May from Moulin Rouge. This song is originally sung by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, but these two do and wonderful rendition! [Especially the guy! The girl isn't bad, but he totally overshadows her with his performance!] BRAVO!

Loud things come in small packages

I don't particularly like her, but she never fails to impress me with her talent. She's a Diva, but I guess anyone who sings like this deserves to be...

Amazing!!!

There's talent, there's hard work, and then there's just some people God has created with heavenly voices...

Totally feeling this k-pop!

I don't think I can even consider Tablo's music as "kpop", but whatever genre you'd register this song as you can't deny it's all around GOOD!

Stuff my mom says...

Mom: Maybe you should not sleep in your room on Sunday.

Me: Why not???

Mom: Because I don't trust this tree ouside your room.

John 16:20-24

Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

whatever is hidding under the stairs doesn't have to be scary...

This is the most efficient use of space and design I've seen in a while.

she's larger than life

I love Audrey Hepburn. I would love to have this mural on my wall.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.
Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

"If you did not see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth."

Isaiah 41:9-10

"...I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

How can I be discouraged or feel small when the ALL powerful God is by my side!?
