it took nearly 5 days to reach. 3 days out, the route deteriorated into a deeply rugged dirt track. ferries carried them across the rivers, red with soil washed away in the aftermath of deforestation upstream. village shrank, car vanished, the forest gradually thickened.

has been eons dreaming in tears. once heard loneliness not being a characteristic, but a feeling planted on oneself. not powerfully independent as ladyviral, nor remarkably optimistic as tekkaus, thus fought recklessly to shake off the sudden overspilled emptiness. could be stress, could be absentness, enslaved by emotions. an extended hand easily aided the regaining of the state of bliss.

(taken with my SE g705)

excitement emulated on the face, contradicted every so often with nervous twitches n silent uncertainty; an expression way too precious to miss. a change involving a combined duo; leaping into the future as one, towards one new aim, one new phase. relatively down when one adventure came to an end, yet eagerly anticipating for another soon to start, jovially adjusting to a whole new level.

some backgrounds on the movie:

- language: English
- genre: Fantasy/Thriller

the film was taken from the first 3 (out of 12) books of The Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak, The Vampire's Assistant, Tunnels of Blood). a young boy gave away his life, joining a mysterious man from a freak show n turned into a vampire. instead of an action movie, it was more of an introduction. not a believing character, the other "freaks" were more interesting than him. worth a catch only if you expect there to be a continuation like i do.
