Runaway Bride

i'm still awake at this time cuz i just finished a self evaluation of my performance this year... i think it was pretty easy in a way cuz my previous boss defined it very well for me..

i always tot he was a good mentor..it's a pity he has to leave.... not a tragedy as he is happy where he is now...and that sometimes matter more than what I need! It's about seeing people you care for getting their deserved happiness and satisfaction! ;)

A good mentor is hard to find...sometimes it's fate. our paths might cross again in future...will never know. I really still have lots to learn....and according to an article i read recently...the fact tt someone feels he/she needs a mentor shows willingness to learn which is a very gd attitude! Good for me!! =)

Anyway...this entry is about this show...runaway bride..an old show, from 1999.

recently re-watched the show..still feel touched. It's a really nice show...

In a way, i feel the same as the female lead...tt i do not really know myself totally..and will adapt to or change myself...and make the other person feel i am the right one for him. That's why she kept running away...cuz the person she was marrying din know her as herself...think she ran away 4 times...when finally she found someone (male lead) who knew her as herself....but she still ran at their wedding... this time, she realised that she didn't know the real her. She din even know what kind of eggs she liked...and her preference for eggs always depended on who she was with at the time. She took some time to figure out who she really was and went back to the male lead to ask him to marry her! Perfect ending of cuz, since it's hollywood! =)

So here are the quotes from the movie... 2 that I really like...

*****************
Maggie Carpenter: I wanted to tell you why I run - sometimes ride - away from things.
Ike Graham: Does it matter?
Maggie Carpenter: I think so.
[takes a deep breath]
Maggie Carpenter: When I was walking down the aisle, I was walking toward somebody who didn't have any idea who I really was. And it was only half the other person's fault, because I had done everything to convince him that I was exactly what he wanted. So it was good that I didn't go through with it because it would have been a lie. But you - you knew the real me.
Ike Graham: Yes, I did.
Maggie Carpenter: I didn't. And you being the one at the end of the aisle didn't just fix that.

****************
Maggie Carpenter: I love you, Homer Eisenhower Graham. Will you marry me?
Ike Graham: I... I've got to think about this a little bit.
Maggie Carpenter: Good. I was hoping you'd say that.
Ike Graham: [laughing] You were not!
Maggie Carpenter: I was, because if you said "yes" right away, then I wouldn't get to say this next part, and I've been practicing.
[Maggie sits down, clears her throat]
Maggie Carpenter: Ready?
Ike Graham: I'm listening.
Maggie Carpenter: I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is going to want to get out. But I also guarantee...
[starts to cry]
Maggie Carpenter: ...that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart... you're the only one for me.

I think i am just a sucker for romance...and really want to believe in such love...? It's real ya?

That there will definitely be tough times. and in the current times, everything volatile, at 1 pt or another, 1 or both parties might want to get out - Divorce etc...

the last part is the part tt always bring tears to my eyes....regreting not asking someone to be urs just cuz u r afraid of losing the person in future juz doesn't make sense.... u hv to learn to fight for things tt u really wan. hard as it seems...when u know wat u want and u fight for wat u wan... law of attraction applies and viola, uget wat u wan...
