May I Moment?

Before leaving the city earlier for a quick trip back to the province, I decided to watch a film in Megamall. Movie-deprived na din kasi ako sa States. So yun, I found myself seated in the cinema by myself and waiting for the movie to start.

"I Miss You Like Crazy" was my film of choice for the day. The decision to watch this was quite simple - I am a Filipino film-starved balikbayan who needed a local romantic story to make me realize how un-romantic my life is turning out to be. I also needed my baduy fix and a dash of crazy emo moments which I know I can definitely get from local cinema.

Sa totoo lang, since arriving in Manila over the weekend, I had been totally oblivious of this film - maybe because I had already lost contact with the Filipino mass media ever since I lost TFC in the city. I just saw a poster in the mall. In an instant, I knew I had to watch that film, by hook or by crook. Day 2 na nga ako nakanood! Tsk tsk. All along pa, I thought that this film was "One More Chance" - Part 2 so sa madaling sabi, I looked stupid during the first few minutes of watching it because I was trying to figure out what happened between Part 1 and 2. Antanga lang. Hahaha.

I will not post spoilers at hindi na din ako magpapanggap ng review - panoorin nyo na lang. Basta, ang importante, naiyak ako ng bonggang bongga sa film na to. It's a film that's so relevant to me in this day and age - kwentong kabit, bad timings, OFW, poor judgement and happily ever after kasi which is basically, the story of my life.

One of my most favorite dialogues was when Bea (Mia) and John Lloyd (August/Allan) were discussing what the Petronas Towers (which appear to be two people holding hands) were saying to each other:

"Masaya ko pag kasama kita.", says Bea

"Ako rin.", says John Lloyd.

I felt tears roll down my cheeks the moment I heard those lines. Naka-relate lang ng bonggang-bongga - feeling ko ako si Bea. Haha.
