In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Happy Easter! Yoo hoo! I actually bought a Cadbury Easter egg. Simply because it's yummy. I didn't hide it. I just went straight home to eat it. In any case, yes, it was quite nice.

I'm killing time here. I'm going to watch The Passion of Christ (finally) at 9.00pm. In between, I really don't have anything to do, so here I am at the internet cafe, with Cloris just across the street working in an Italian cafe.

Some weeks ago, I saw Lawrence of Arabia in its entirety for the first time. It's really very good. The ratio of good films in the past is higher than that of those today. Everything now is so cliche, you know.

Anyway, on top of this, I've been watching all sorts of HK films. I think I'm beginning to understand how to appreciate them and not to simply dismiss them as cheesy. Works like The Bride with the White Hair may first look like some excuse for sex and violence, but actually, I think there is a lot of soul in the characters.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
