woke up with a strong urge to watch this. 'coz i din cry ytd, and thot i should and will feel better. like nic said, "wad i need is not a hero to save me, but an outlet."

this is already the 3rd time i am watching this.
1. watched at my ex's hse... used up half of his tissues in the box
2. watched at my hse here... was when i bought this vcd and just broke up with him
3. now.

it alwaes fascinates me, that even this time when i watch, from the second disc, is alwaes when i start crying...and it will last till the end.

it's incredible how they met -- a police catch thief misunderstanding

it's incredible how they got together -- a neighbourhood watch rounds, the handcuff that got them holding hands

it's incredible how they love each other -- she went to class to give him lunchbox, he helped her in her police chases, bought a jeep to let them tour around... and their gifts to each other: the same book.

it's incredible how he left her -- first when their jeep ran down the cliff and into the river, she saved him, the next... she "accidentally" shot him duirng a chase.

it's incredible how she managed to live on -- tried shooting herself with her gun, pills, jumping off the building, chase criminals as close proximity that she wasn't afraid of dying...'coz she wanted to.

but hung on... by the 49 day promise.
the story of why people gou gou shou (hook the last finger to promise each other something):

there was once a princess....pretty, witty, graceful. many princes from all over the world came to ask for her hand. after choosing, finally narrow down to five.

the princess decided to test them, she hid a finger pointing out behind, and got them one by one to guess... finally, the last one, guessed correct. it was the last finger. they hooked each other's last finger-- a symbol of promise of love to each other.

one day, the prince had to go for war... he hooked fingers with the princess, promising that she will definitely be back.

she waited, and waited...

still pretty as ever through the years, many men still came to ask for her hand. she decided she will only marry the man who will hook fingers with her. none. until even this begger came... the guards refused him, she let him in... he hooked fingers with her. true enough, he was the lost prince in disguise. she cried, finally, she got to see him again.

but before dawn, when she was still sleeping, he left. actually, he was already dead on his way home during the war, but his soul came back after 49 days, just to fufil the promise he had with her.

eventually. she found his body. slept beside him, hooking fingers, already drank the poison potion, and died.

funny huh? i discovered, ytd i closed it, today i counted. we knew each other for exactly 49 days too. seems totally riddiculous to associate, but i counted twice. yup, 49 days.

like the movie, windstruck.
destined to meet, 49 day "promise", destined to end.

i like this movie 'coz not only it relieves my feelings through crying, but i also know a new beginning is going to unfold.

wonder when will i watch this again...
