January 11, 2012
It has been another great week; I’m a bit regretful that I failed to track down what has been for me the entire week. This entry is well about a brief reaction on the movie that I’ve just recently watched. It was quite unexpected that I’ll be splurging too much again for the day. Supposedly, I’ll just be staying in our condo unit, reading Kristeva or working out all day to the gym. Or going to the library perhaps. But today was quite different. Went to school as early as 7am for my remedial class, I rushed in to Rm. 116 just when I thought I’ll be late for school. Ma’am Sandra has never been late. Except today, she arrived 15 minutes late. I even thought that something bad had happened to her along her way though. Good thing, she’s safe. I was a bit half-hearted of going to school today, except that I included in my itineraries for that I’ll be seeing Ate Christine around 3pm and Ate Kelly around 5pm. Our class winded up a bit early as expected, 9am. I am guessing even a bit earlier. I don’t know what’s with me during Spanish class that whenever I was asked to recite, I’m losing myself. I can’t answer right away. I was even seated in front; I was absent the previous meeting, the reason why I don’t get what Ma’am Sandra was talking about.
Anyway, I brought with me my reviewers for Religion so that after class I’ll indulge myself reviewing in the library while having fun of course. Through my ‘eargasmic’ type of songs on my playlist. I was with Venus and Zhea, while they were busy doing their report for the same subject, I was busy jotting my notes from some of our subjects. I can’t stand the loneliness. Maybe the pressure that I was awake that early. I just took it as a positive thing that I’ll be getting my mock copy of Julia Kristeva’s Black Sun today. But… (Imagine waking up around 5am, then attending to a 7am class, reviewing lessons on a 9am light-day with a very gloomy weather), oh! Just wow.
Really wow. Only if we’re not required to go to class today for Spanish, certainly I am still enjoying doing some cuddles with my pillows and blanket. Sheets. I have basically a very critical day. (Well, thinking that I’ll be staying ‘til 6pm). I just thought of staying in the library. Imagine how it would be for me. Killing sometime in the library waiting ‘til 6pm, at first, I thought it would be that boring until such time, Zhea speaks. She said, ‘Mags, nood tayong Life of Pi 3D. 1:15PM screening.’ Well, without thinking twice, I immediately said ‘Yes.’ Haha. ‘How much nga?’ Oh yeah, thinking she said it would be 3D. ‘300php’. What? So I’ll be spending so much for today. No wonder. Well, just because I love Zhea, I didn’t mind spending twice as much. I just want to keep her company for the day. She was even the one who gave me the invitation. So I grabbed the chance. It would be fun for sure.
It was quite funny that I revealed to her what’s inside of me. I was laughing at myself on the inside. Just because the last time I watched a movie inside the movie house was when… Yes, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking right now, then congratulations! Well and good, finally. I was able to tell someone that, ‘Hey, you’ll be the first person I’m spending money and time with’. The last time I watched with someone was, well when I still have a boyfriend. About a year ago. (I’ve had another relationship recently, but I don’t think that counts. We didn’t watch a movie, at least, formally). It was of a different feeling though; I didn’t expect that I’ll be enjoying watching a movie with a friend. A friend of the same sex. Before, I just thought of having a movie date with a special someone. Well, Zhea is special too, just like them I suddenly uttered.
But the thing is I can’t exactly define the feeling I got. Just when I thought watching a movie together is best served for people who are in a relationship, then I was wrong. Even best buds could. This isn’t that normal. After so long, it has been a year. It was quite a much unexpected feeling. Strolling, window shopping, talking about our recent realizations in life made the difference. Now I was able to prove myself that I am better being with my friends. Just friends. Not with romantic relationships. I’m very good as a friend. Something deeper than that? I couldn’t tell anymore. I just realize it is possible only if I believe it is really possible. Just like this. Having a movie date with a girlfriend.
Well, about the movie? It was really awesome. Fantastic. Every adjective you could actually associate with the word excellent best describes the movie. (Think twice, I should really enjoy this cause I paid for it). Twice as much, I suppose. Hahaha. The movie is entitled ‘Life of Pi’, at first I was thinking, I am bored. I’m sleepy. I just want to lay down on my bed and sleep. But no… When the movie had already started, the moment I put on those pair of 3D glasses, my focus was on its 101 percent. My eyes were glued to the screen. I don’t even want to blink an eye. It was really amazing! It was worth my 300php. The movie is very philosophical. You can work on it while watching a good catch. Working your brain cells altogether to think why this and that happened, full of whys, how’s and what ifs. When things go wrong, when things fall apart, when you have nothing else to call, you have nothing but two. Yourself and your God. Yourself to do the thinking what’s the right thing to do, and your God to listen to your prayers, and support you with your decisions in life. It is just a matter of thinking right.’ It is how you handle the situation. It is how you struggle in order to survive. It is a matter of how big your God is. How deep your faith is.
As a whole, I can’t think of any other film that would be quite better than this so far. Life of Pi. I was right, thinking which on to watch between Sisterakas or this one. I didn’t regret watching it though. Not even spending money. It’s as if to me a double purpose, enjoying and learning philosophy both at the same time. Plus, I watched it with a good friend, Zhea. If you people are thinking superficial on this, that this is something about Walt Disney and stuff. Break it to me. This is worth watching. Life of Pi is worth your 300php.
