Forgive me for this intimate and somewhat messy post but I am in the mood for letting this out because I don't know what will happen to me if I just keep it inside.
I'm a person who's always in touch with my feelings, a person who wears his emotions on his sleeve. I still believe I am but I don't want to get my emotions in the way of my logic. Not anymore. It's not really helping me at all. My emotions make me go back to my past which I really don't want to linger on forever and every time I go back to the past, it's like I'm going down to a deep tunnel and I cave myself inside it. The past also made me go to my most vulnerable state and of course, I never liked it. There are times I wallow suddenly when I'm in that tunnel and I find that a little irrational now because all the events behind my tears look so irrational and stupid... and I hate being stupid! I feel like I want to claim my tears back.
I cry suddenly because I think it'll help me to slowly let go because once I let these tears out, I might be fine at the end of the day but I believe it's just a temporary remedy. I want a permanent cure.
The reason why I am here right now, writing this post, is to let go. Well, I don't expect to believe that after posting this, I think I have let go all of my burdens but if it helps, why not take a shot? Anyway, I don't want to get stuck in this shithole forever. I'm getting messier and messier as the days go by. I don't want to wallow and think of my past in the coming days. I want to move forward and live my life without any worries, hesitations, and fear. Shit. I want to erase all the things that kept my head bound in this phase. I want to let it all go. But I don't know where or how to start.
Maybe talking to a therapist might help or talking to a friend might do it to. I've also thought of dealing with this myself but I always hesitated for I fear the truth. But from the looks of things, dealing and confronting the problems look like a big help now. But first, I need to gather myself and my thoughts before I push this plan.

One Quiet Night
I wrote this one last month. It's an extremely different poem of mine because I wrote it from a different perspective which is from a father's. Of course, I've never been a father yet since I'm young to be one. Once again, if you want to ask for my poems, contact me. Thanks.
ONE QUIET
NIGHT
Stars
sparkle across the sky
Amidst the
vast darkness
Like these
glitters in your eyes
Stuck in
such a cute mess
It looks
like a quiet night
The wind
hums you a song
Even without
the sunlight
It seems
like nothing’s wrong
Lying there
in your small bed
Your timid
eyes are closed
With these
dreams in your young head
You’re
happy, I suppose
When the
morning comes, I’ll see
Your
priceless, earnest face
Your smile
means the world to me
Joy binds me
in some ways
The world
today is spiteful
You’ll
understand someday
But you can
still be blissful
Just seize
your time today
Your little
mind can’t perceive
Vexations
around us
I’ll take
the hurt you’ll receive
To see your beam,
I must
Now sleep in
your tiny room
Play in your
huge dreamland
I’ll shield
you from all the gloom
You’ll be
safe in my hands

Prepare To Be Amazed
Who never thought a reboot can be this amazing?
The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot of the Spider-Man films that were directed by Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell). The latest film is directed by Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer) and stars Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) and Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland). The film goes back to Peter Parker's (Garfield) high school where he acquires his power and adjusts to it while dealing with high school, his past, his crush Gwen Stacy (Stone), and the Lizard (Rhys Ifans).
First of all, I'd like to say that I love this reboot than the previous films. I also loved and enjoyed the previous three but this one really nails it. Director Marc Webb managed to balance comedy, drama, and action here and the drama here is not melodramatic but it's actually human drama. I'd also like to give credit to Webb for his first 3D action film. This is his second film right after his directorial debut in (500) Days of Summer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Webb has no troubles shifting from romantic comedy-drama to superhero action and he did so well with the action sequences especially in the third act.
What makes The Amazing Spider-Man different from Raimi's Spider-man films is the realism. Like I said, there's human drama inside and the other is before Spidey can shoot web directly from his wrists, Peter created a device for shooting webs which is also closer to Spidey's comic incarnation. There's also the realism in Peter Parker's character. He's an outcast. He's also nice but there's this certain darkness in him that makes him a bit more realistic like when he finally gets his powers and adjusts to them pretty well, he used them to get even with a school bully. I mean, who wouldn't want to get even when you have powers like that, right?
This particular adaptation is getting closer to its comic source because in this film, Spidey is a smart-ass crime fighter unlike in Raimi's films.
On with the actors, I love Garfield's portrayal of the superhero with his comic timing and he makes a likeable incarnation of one of Marvel Comics' most beloved superheroes. He also gives Peter Parker a certain edge for being a little darker that Tobey Maguire's incarnation. Sorry Tobey. You did good but Andrew's awesome. Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy, on the other hand, is contrasting to Garfield's Peter Parker because of her bubbly personality and expressive eyes. Stone makes a memorable portrayal of Spidey's first and original girlfriend and every time she's on screen, she radiates. I also love Gwen Stacy here because she's a good combination of wit and spunk. She's not the typical damsel-in-distress here. She's smart, she's tough, and she can take care of herself.
One flaw of the film is the character development between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy which I find a little rushed but I just did not mind because of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's on-screen chemistry.
In the end, Spider-Man fans will raise their fists in the air and think that Spidey has reclaimed his glory and won the people's hearts with this reboot. It's a nice and fresh restart of the franchise and I hope the future sequels will maintain or outmatch this film's level of energy, action, comedy, and drama.
RATING: 4.5/5
