Movie: Sex and the City



And... it's a birthday week! Thanks to Lette, the hunnybunny, for treating me out to Sex and the city the Movie! It was great to feel all woman again. You can hear both of us commenting...

"I love her bag."
"I want her shoes."
"Aww... I like the color of that dress."

I wasn't much of a fan of their TV show though when it came out some 4-5 years ago. I sat through one season compiled in a DVD and I told my guy friend, you know what is lacking in their point of view? It's all female. No male POV. So, yes, during the final episode of the film I was actually empathizing more with the men. Carrie with her Mr. Big and Miranda with her Steven. In between my teary-eyed weeping of "you poor dears" to these women, I was also thinking "Why don't you just give these guys a break and give them a chance to explain?"

See how I've grown up.

Charlotte doesn't have much of a dilemma so she balances the group. Samantha had to give up her hunk of a man just because she cannot stop herself from straying. Her neighbor is really HOTT! But really... aren't there alternative lifestyles now that allow people to be with other people while you stay with the one you love? To which I exclaimed, "Can't she just swing?"

Carrie Bradshaw question: What if you already found love, what then?

Yeah. What, then? Judging from their story... if you found love you should...

... not forget to coif your hair down below.
... treat yourself right.
... be true to yourself.
... learn to forgive.


My rating: I had a good cry, I'm good. :)

Being On The Wrong Continent

I believe I am standing on the wrong continent. Nevertheless, I do love the Philippines but it's just too darn hard to get a boyfriend down here. I think most Filipino men if not all (let's not generalize) are a little pretentious. Or some of them think that women as open-minded as I am are good as free rides. Now that's pathetic, don't you think? Two days ago, I had another one of those phone calls with this guy whom I play football (or soccer) with. He used to fix me up on dates with his friends. I don't know what I said somewhere down the road that made him change his mind but right now everytime I talk to him, he's always mentioning sex. And how he want to have sex with me. Ugh! I'm trying to recall what I said to him but I just can't seem to remember the what and the how of this. One time we're friends then the next he's trying to crawl into my pants. Some friend he turned out to be. And he wants scheduled sex. Ugh! This guy ...

Five Minutes of Fame

Date: February 27, 2006 Place: Somewhere in Manila, Philippines What it was about: Taping for TV Noringai , a good friend of mine is currently a writer for one of them big, megastar showbiz personality down here. Being a writer and partly a researcher at the same time, she decided that it might actually do their show good to have me as one of their guests. Well... that's what she thought! Prior to actual taping in the studio, they had their production crew troop down to where I live and do a preliminary shoot (Totally different from the interview I did with Studio 23's "Points of View" a few years back). I thought it'll be like 3-4 people and a camera wanting to take a look at my place. Yeah, I've been living in here since 1995. And yes, almost alone. (ooh...kinky! hehehe) To my surprise, they got four vans parked infront of the house. With about 20 people in the crew. And they had two cameras and this sliding railroad to pan their cameras set up in the middl...
