Snippets of Serendipity

Oh well, it’s been a long time since I wrote something, so I guess I’ll just go ahead and write. About nothing. Hahaha…

Things are getting better, I’ve been stuck in a rut since the-thing-that-must-not-be-named happened…work has helped a lot, and I realized that there’s a reason for everything. Truth be told, I know why it happened and a lot of it was my doing.

I’m just hoping that things will fall into place…and Brandon Routh a.k.a Superman will fall into my lap…OOOpppss! (Sorry, where was I?!) Hmmm, that’s not quite a bad idea, hehehe…

Change is good, and I find I learn a lot now that I have made peace with myself. I deal with people better, now that I know myself better. I am more fair with other people now that I’ve learned to try & put myself in their shoes. It has taken me a long time, but finally I have learned to stand on my own…make my own decisions based on what I feel is right; although it was one of the hardest things to do. Because I had to give up something that was important to me for so long. But I realized I cannot hold on to something just for the sake of having it, if it’s not healthy for everyone involved.

Someday, I hope to regain some of it, but for now I am happy because in being alone, I have opened myself to unending possibilities, not all of which maybe good…but I know that I will learn from them…and that’s the most important thing of all.

The man of steel is back! I had the chance to watch the movie in the brand spanking-new IMAX theater at the SM Mall of Asia, which by the way, is quite a feat for Mr. Tan, especially in today’s economic crisis. One wonders how us Pinoy’s can manage to spend on malls when we all know we have other, more important things to spend on. Oh well, to each his own. I’m sure as hell not going to miss the chance of watching Brandon Routh at the IMAX screen (who is quite easy on the eyes, I must say. in all his eight-storey high glory.

Not to spoil the movie for those of you who haven’t watched, I just want to share my views on the film. Brandon Routh give the role justice, yes, but will never compare to the original, Christopher Reeve. I feel that Mr. Routh lacks the depth of emotion which the Christopher easily expresses( I guess we could blame that on the blue contacts). Kate Bosworth is physically the opposite of the original Lois Lane, Margot Kidder; although she does a well- enough job re-living the hardworking, driven reporter of the daily planet. She is quite a character, too, as she seems to have superpowers of her own, coming out unscathed through the death defying experiences in the film.

We should give them a break though, because we all know the original is always the best. I decided they did a great job, nonetheless. And besides, I guess we will be looking forward to more installments(?) of the film. Watch it, so you know what I mean.
