" Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination."
After having read "Tale of the Spinster and Peter Pan", I didn't find any relation to fairy tale. i was actually expecting of a fairy tale ending..the usual happily ever after. but i realized that the spinster was in her own world of fantasy...she is obviously tired of her monotonous, routine life! as much as she'd like to hide it by going to her fave bar on thursdays, there's no doubt that she has found her life dull and boring! that's even the very reason why she goes to the bar and sip wine and enjoy music...because she doesn't really have anything fun to do anymore. But then came Joel...her "Peter Pan". and she was probably hoping the he would take her to "Neverland". what do i mean by this?....well, the woman longs to be someplace outside of her real world...she's aging and Peter Pan reminds her of being young and carefree once again. I don't think she has hidden desires for the man..i think that she would just like to have someone daring and free-spirited who can help her enjoy her life, who can bring her to the land of "no worries"...the land where people do not grow up. unfortunately, all these things only exist on her mind...her own fantasies...just the way she wanted her life to be...but the truth is sometimes the things we have imagined cannot always happen.
as for the the other text, "Document", the guy is somehow on the same boat as that of the spinster. he thinks that a particular document was meant to be written for him and then contemplates on the status of their relationship...if they even had one.....he was uncertain of how the girl thinks of him....they had late night talks and they go to the mall together...one could possibly assume that something might be going on between them but the guy is still left wondering...thinking what if the document was really about him....
we all create fantasies on our minds...and oh! how well we create them...but fantasies are departure from reality...we fantasize because we think something is impossible...and i like fantasizing and imagining impossible things...they actually help me get what i want..at least motivate me to reach what seems to be impossible...

"but the truth is sometimes the things we have imagined cannot always happen." yes pero sabi nga nila, be careful what you wish for. Something that may seem perfect may not necessarily be that way so maybe in the end, it's for the best.
In relation to what Therese said, I, too, sometimes should be careful what I wish for.
Before kasi I always wished that I would be included in some sort of issue in school. 'Cos back then (in HS) there was this issue about the Coin Toss Gambling whatever. I REALLY WANTED TO BE A WITNESS because one of my friends was one. Something about it made me excited.
Now, I do not think the same way and even if there are times when I still want to be in the scene of the crime, I make sure that I use my head first because things might not always turn out as I imagine it to.
