Come back entry
Waves of sudden despair crashed upon my soul again. It really blew me off my normal self and I kept asking why...why...why...
I was reading one of Anne Rice's novels titled Cry to Heaven. A friend suggested it is a good book, especially with my fancy with beautiful men and their passionate affairs with each other. Anne Rice never fails to amaze me. How she can make me believe such fictional characters are alive in my little deceptive mind and now how people can be so cruel.
Cry to Heaven follows the story of Tonio Treshi and Guido Maffeo, as student and maestro castrati. Eventually, they became lovers and this part of the book gave me the spark to carry on reading. I love Guido’s coldness but inner sweetness towards Tonio; and Tonio, despite his stubborn attitude gave in to Guido’s passion. I love them both and the passionate secret they both share. However, I have this hobby of reading ahead of chapter, taking a peek at the future events in the story. For some this may be major spoiling, but it is MY motivation. And this hobby just made me cry.
Well, what I read ahead was the Tonio was offered by a Cardinal to bed with him (Eherm! According to Joanna, this is normal back in the days. Allowed!) and confided it to Guido. He never expected that Guido was furious about him declining the indecent proposal. Saying it’s because he is a castrato and it would be such an honor for him, and blah blah. Tonio didn’t want it out of love for Guido. He didn’t want to betray his lover. As Guido says those cruel words to him, he just stood there, shocked and hurt as if Guido has struck him. This part made me cry. I pity Tonio so much. And I hate Guido for being such a bastard. Even then, going back to previous chapters, Tonio saw Guido with Contessa Lissani, kissed her, her hair fallen freely at the back and Guido’s hair, ruffled. Something happened. Tonio cried like a child, it pained him that much. Although Guido warned him before that he shouldn’t refrain himself from sleeping with other people out of love for him because that is bad. But sweet words and a gentle kiss from his lover melted his heart and erased the pain. But Guido’s sexual freedom philosophy, Tonio never understood and neither did I.
This kind of situation is very complicated and it really is sad…
On other thoughts!
It's only 3 days away from school now. Wow, time flies so fast. Boom! It’s already been 3 weeks and work your but on assignments and reports again... shucks. How exciting. Boo.
My mom was telling me the story of the recent movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose and got me quite frightened. I was thinking of how that girl must’ve felt being helpless and Lucifer using her body. She was weak and overly sensitive that’s why the devil got hold of her so easily. And the priest couldn’t save her. So sad and frightening. For anyone to experience that is really hell. And then my mom also mentioned that it was said in the movie that 3:00 A.M is the time of the devil because it is a mockery of Christ’s death. I’ve known this before, that’s why it was said in practicing black magic spells, and it is best performed at this hour. It made me think because sometimes I stay up all night and I sometimes go to the comfort room at that hour. It’s really creepy, you know. Well, just have to be brave.
Ahhhhhh!!! Still have to finish works for my previous school. The pesky year book is still pending… wow… an tagal talaga….
I want coffee.
Oh yeah, I just finished the anime Gungrave. Nice animation and story. But the ending could’ve been better. Aww. Flaw. But good anyway. Bradon Heat-to desu!

Last, I'm getting too addicted to PBB. I don't know why. I love Uma so much. And I like Cass. Masipag. Like my mom said: "Pang-kusina na, pang-kama pa". Panalo!. And I like their love team. I want to see Uma, do some effort for Cass. Yes, court her. If that's his really intention. Or if what he said to Say are all true. Hope so! hihi... let's just stay tuned.
