Let It Go (Frozen)


Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know...well now they know....Let it go...Let it go...Can't hold it back anymore...I don't care....what they are going to say....

Just noticed that I haven't written anything for more than a week! Feeling pretty sleepy now but hopefully I am still able to write down the happenings for the past week

Went out with a few housemates to watch the Disney movie, Frozen today. It's the first day this movie is shown in Australia. Heard about it from a blogger few weeks ago and that it was good.

I didn't grow up with Disney hence I am pretty dumb with the Disney stories. And I wasn't really into watching cartoons. For me, going to the cinema for a cartoon was pretty much a waste of money.

But, Frozen was so so so awesome! I was deeply touched, by the singing, the lyrics, the graphics and most important of all, the story itself.

As a gay, a closeted one, a gay that loves his family, a gay that is confused, a gay that is somewhat lonely, a gay that is in fear, this story speaks so much to me, in so many ways.

If you haven't watched it already, I strongly recommend this movie to you!

I even purchased the Frozen Deluxe Edition album from iTunes ($19.99). I love this song 'Let it go' the most, it was first played in the movie when Princess Elsa ran away from the castle when she finally lost it and her magical power was known to the people.

I don't know about you guys, but I felt it was like us being gays. We have been hiding in the closet for years, some even distanced themselves from their siblings and/or parents because they feel outcast, they feel different, they (or actually we) feel as if they were defective.

Until the very day when you are either forced to or don't really have a choice but to come out, you finally 'let it go'.

And how about people living with HIV? Is their situation harder than ours?

I was almost brought to tears and I actually wondered if there was anyone there who felt the same as me. After all, we all have our untold stories....

 I just received a text from my ex that his parents found that he's gay. I haven't gotten the details yet because he kinda had to hide in the toilet to text me.

The movie had a happy ending. But it didn't conclude with the stale, almost mandatory prince-kisses-princess-and-happily-ever-after kinda ending. Sometimes it's the love among family members that's least expected.

Is there a thick ice brick between you and your family, because you are gay (or for other reasons?) Anyway, go watch it please....

23 Dec 13 (Monday)- Test.

24 Dec 13 (Tuesday)- Had a very lovely dinner at Ben and Nam's place. Played with their dogs too, so cute!

25 Dec 13 (Christmas)- Woke up early, 9am at church. Hung out with some housemates and friends afterwards, had lunch together. It was a rainy and cold day in Sydney! Didn't go to Ben's place again. Sydney was like a dead town. Most of the people were back to their hometowns. Luckily there were still buses. Went to Chinatown to buy dinner. Two men, probably Americans asked me for directions, again! People always ask me for directions.

26 Dec 13 (Boxing Day)- Watched Frozen with housemates at the cinema. Got the ticket for $10 only (normally $19) because they had the discounts with their mobile service providers.

Today, played Dota at home. Tried Drow Ranger (a new hero for me). Went to the gym for cardio.

Merry Christmas everyone. For non-believers, happy holidays!

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
