My, my... It's always like this. I'm gone for hardly two days, and now, i don't know where to start responding... This is one chatty family...
Asprine and
Debbie,
The song Debbie quoted is an Indonesian song, I don't know who wrote it and for what purpose exactly, but i can predict. Here's the exact translation:
Nenek moyangku orang pelaut = My ancestors are sailors
Gemar mengarung luas samudera = fond of traveling the ocean
Menerjang ombak tiada takut = confronted tides without fear
Menembus badai sudah biasa = went through storm was their daily meals
So,
cassie's right. 'Nenek moyang' is 'ancesor'. As to why 'nenek' is applied as a general term, it's the same reason why we use 'her' to refer to 'the world'. And the song actually talks about Indonesia ancestor who are brave sailors (If you know this country, this is a large archipelago, and back in times, people use sea-transport to travel around the country, and trade with the world)
That's totally OT (i feel like i'm being a history teacher now:lol
, but yeah, the last two lines remind me to Stella.
5.24 and 5.25 will be aired in my exam week. So, i'd probably will wait until the exam finished before watching them
But, i need to do that, cause i don't want to fail, and make Mac and Stella, and this family, not proud of me.
Shell_Kiki,
If you compared the definitions of Yin and Yang that you've mentioned, you'll find they have opposite characters. They complement to each other. You can make the Tai Chi symbol whole by combining Yin and Yang. By complete the symbol, that means the nature will keep in balance. That's perfect description of Mac and Stella's relationship. Missing either Mac or Stella is like the nature loses balance.
Well, i know that... I was actually asking who will be who. You know, is it Mac the yang and Stella the yin or vice versa? Yin and Yang concept comes from Chinese culture and philosophy. You'd be boring if you listen to my Ama (it's the same with 'nenek'
) talk about the whole thing, especially when she's comparing that to nowadays global warming. Oops, i got OT, again. It's just that every time i think about the 'yin to Gary's character's yang', the more i am convinced that Stella is the yang, and Mac is the yin, although, yin is usually used for woman. *shrug*
Lori,
GUYS! GUYS!
I was just over to the spoiler thread and there is a "Recap" of the season. Someone was curious as to why and how they chose the particular scenes. I think they were focusing on the "major" storylines for the next three shows AND there was mostly D/L AND SMACK!!! I have a very good feeling that indeed "His heart will follow her home"!!!
*Jumping up an down*. They are making a break, so that we'll have full SMacked, and be full... (I'm not making any sense now, am i? *cringe*)
If Mac tell something in different language to Stella, she'll know the meaning anyways. Why? Oh, you all know why.
Vave,
It's difficult... Stella for me will be combination of Athena (for her wisdom and wit), and Artemis (her toughness). But Mac,,, uhm, combination of Zeus and Ares??? I really don't know...
Now, i all honesty, i don't think there's going to be anything that is too big SMacked-wise in 5.24. We can always hope, but i don't think TPTB or Melina for that case, will give us anything more than a big hug and/or kiss on the cheek. I'm still wishing for more, though. Come to think of it again, the romance between them better happen slowly. No rush like DL, cause if they crew up, the consequence will be much worse than DL story. Not that i think they'll screw up... Or, it may ended up like GSR, and F/A = one or even both characters are out! No!
But, hey! We always have our imaginations, predictions, and hopes, and places like this (when we share our imaginations, predictions and hopes with people that are the same with us) to keep us going on... LOL!
*hugs everyone!*
