• Watched movies with my boyfriend and...




• Saw United 93 with my bf and we both hated it (By far the most horrible film ever written). Especially if you have seen Loose Change


• Saw The Lake House and loved it. I am going to read Persuasion by Janet Austen, it seems like a good read. I am also going to watch Il Mare (Is this how it should be spelled?) The Korean film where the movie is based because I loved it! Never mind that Keanu is gay or that Jessica Zafra says that Sandra Bullock has only two states in this film, perky and Prozac. I love how it highlights patience in love. True love should be patient. Darn. That is something I need to work on. I highly recommend this film. Not a heartbreaker. I was able to predict some parts but the ending was such a nice surprise.


• Saw Failure to Launch with my beau and it was a cute and funny film as promised in the trailer. The plot was not as I expected it. I did not expect a Hitch-type of character there but it was all good.


• Saw The Inside Man and loved it as well. Really good film. I was at the edge of my seat all the while.


• Saw Superman Returns and loved the new Superman guy who happens to be kind of cute. I don't know why I kept on guessing if they changed something about Superman like did he evolve to something or are they going to change his weakness. It's like for a while I forgot that what I was watching is just really an adaptation from a comic book. The movie is still for kids and so most parts remain the same. That and a little twist in the end. Lex I think is not at all that bad in that film because he did not kill anyone, at least not directly. Maybe I have seen too many heartless villains.


• Fell asleep while watching X-Men 3. Gee, I don't know why this always happens, I have nothing against them in fact, I love the X-Men cartoons... Maybe I just don't like how they were portrayed in the film or maybe I was just tired... yeah right!


• Saw Da Vinci Code and enjoyed it but not as much as I enjoyed the page turner book


• Enjoyed each and every film with my boyfriend. It feels nice to be able to watch a movie with my head resting on his strong shoulders. It's nice to have arms wrapped around me when it's cold, hands to hold when the film is crushing me inside and eyes to gaze at during mushy moments.




• Threw a tantrum...




• Stayed on the phone for hours


• Argued endlessly with me beau


• Realized how blessed I am to have an understanding and loving boyfriend


• Admired my boyfriend's ability to understand my quirks and topaks


• Woken up by my boyfriend who woke up extra early so we can see each other on a Sunday


• Jogged around the oval of Rizal Stadium at 6 in the morning


• Heard mass with my beau at 9 in the morning


• Had breakfast at my fave breakfast place, Pancake House


• Completely enjoyed my Sunday morning with the man I truly love! The man who chooses to understand me when it is easier to judge me.
