Truth or Dare: 6th Floor Rear Flat

Saturday afternoon. Sun setting in the faraway horizon, orange blinding glow. Came home from half a day at work.

Tired.
Sleepy.
Fluish.

Went to the supermarket, bought a new bottle of strawberry jam and a new tray of eggs. Thot of inviting D over for a bite but thought against it in the end. Instead, I rented 2 vcds, headed home and made french toast with strawberry jam and a nice hot cup of tea.

Rented this movie "6th Floor Rear Flat". I've watched this movie a very long time ago when I was working at GVTM. Not many people have heard of this show. But i thot i was quite nice. Throughout the movie, the 6 main characters kept playing the game "Truth or Dare". After watching the movie, I kept thinking about why do most people stop themselves from saying what they really feel or what they think?

I think the reason why most people do not say what they feel is because they do not like the way it sounds. Words like "I'm lonely" or "I'm scared"..

I hate to admit this that's why I don't say them.

When confronted with the game, these 6 people had no choice but to face the reality of things and most importantly, themselves. I love the character Karena. In the movie, she's a struggling writer who falls in love with her publisher, even though she has never met him before. Its romantic in a way, falling in love with someone you've never met. The rational part of your brain tells you that its simply illogical and downright stupid to do so. But somehow, your heart says the opposite.

In the end, Karena found out that he was married.
And she cried.

To him, its nothing but a game. But to her, she gave her all. Does it sound stupid to love a man you've never met?

I may never know.
Am i all alone in this universe?
There's no love on these streets.
I've given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway.
