One Of My Favourite Movies...GIGI

Thank heaven for little girls, for little girls get bigger every day!
Thank heaven for little girls, they grow up in the most delightful way!
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing, one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin'
Thank heaven for little girls thank heaven for them all, no matter where no matter who

For without them, what would little boys do?
Thank heaven... thank heaven...Thank heaven for little girls!

(from the film GIGI & sung by Maurice Chevalier)

My uncle Jim introduced this film to me and my soulmate when i was very young...mostly is becoz my Mak Zah is very concern with the fact that i was very tomboyish and she wanted us to grow up as a young ladies...girlish and all...but from the moment the film started i never took my eyes away from the tv...the film succeeded in catching my mind and attention...since then it has alwiz been my favourite old time movie together with gone with the wind, casablanca, oliver, my fair lady and a few more...btw GIGI won 9 academic awards mind u...

i managed to get hold a dvd copy of the movie recently from amazon.com and i cant wait to watch it again with my nieces as i want them to grow up to be independent and graceful young ladies with views that being born as girls and growing up as young ladies, they should strieve for their dreams and ambitions...and that life is not about getting married at once....but to get married at last...there's more in life that they should venture and experience and i pray for their safety along that journey.

i guess my nephew can watch along as well...so that he learns to value women as equal counterparts rather than as objects or subordinates but i am not worried coz he is a true gentleman despite age....i hope he doesn't break too many heart along the way...

whatever they decide to do in the future, i am sure that my sister and brother will be there to guide them along their journeys and so will i, hopefully....

Gigi . . . am I a fool without a mind Or have I merely been to blind to realize?

Oh gigi . . . why youve been growin up Before my very eyes!

Gigi . . . youre not at all the funny Awkward little girl I knew

Oh no, overnight theres been a breathless Change in you!

Gigi . . . why you were tremblin on the brink Was I out yonder somewh ere blinkin at a star?

Oh gigi . . . have I been standin up to close Or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire And your warmth become desire?

Oh, what miracle Has made you the way you are?

Oh gigi . . . have I been standin up to close Or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire And your warmth become desire?

Oh, what miracle Has made you the way you are?

(from the film GIGI & sung by Louis Jordan)

And after all said above...i am still a romantic sucker when Gigi said..."Gaston, i've been thinking...i'd rather be miserable with you than without you..." aaaaahhhhhhh....so sweet...:)
