movies! movies! movies!

Last night Buboy and I went to watch Sex and the City. I love those girls. I finished the series and I have my own copy of all the six seasons. Buboy knows this so he just has to say yes to me when I asked to watch it on its first showing day. I enjoyed the movie very much. Buboy said it’s very predictable. Yes I agree but it’s also very entertaining. It’s the same Sex and the City that I loved watching years ago. I got to have a copy of that too.

Speaking of movies, we watched Indiana Jones last week and Iron Man a couple of weeks ago… both on its first showing day. They too were very entertaining, though it was a bit weird to me that this Indy movie has an alien twist to it. And Iron Man… now that’s a different story. Unlike Indiana Jones, I never heard of Iron Man until Buboy started talking about it since he heard Hollywood is making a movie of it. I was ignorant about this super hero that I was surprised I liked the movie. I’m even looking forward to its sequel. Buboy has written an amazing piece on it.

Moving on to comic super heroes… I’m patiently waiting for Hulk. Not because I’m a fan of this incredible hero but because I’m a fan of Edward Norton who will be staring on it. Another film (from comics) I’m looking forward to seeing is the second movie of Hellboy. We saw the trailer last night and it was amazing. I have no doubt that I’ll enjoy it like I did the first one.

I'm sure Buboy and I will be going to Metrowalk this weekend for some DVD’s to watch at home. Also, I’ll be meeting with Diane for my bag hook. These and the prospect of sleeping until lunch makes the weekend wait seem unbearable.

Summer outing

Tomorrow we are going to Buboy's company outing. Tomorrow is my company outing too. We decided to join Buboy's & skip mine. Come to think of it, i'm not much into company excursions. I have been working for more than 10 years and have only joined a company summer trip once, twice if you count another outing of Buboy's two years ago. I'm just not comfortable. Years ago it was because of my legs but these days it's because of my tummy. I love going to the beach. I have loved it since I went to Boracay with my college friends so many years ago. Being with close friends and family in a swim wear doesn't bother me much, but being seen with all my imperfections by people who don't really know me is a bit too much for me to handle. I guess having Buboy beside me helps, besides i'm going to his outing (not mine) for the 2nd time, it must mean something.

Speaking of outings, our college barkada trip to subic is postponed indefinitely. It was supposed to be an excursion with our families. But putting it together is not as easy as organizing outings when we were all single. Times do change. But I really hope we can fix something up soon. Our yearly get-together is not enough to keep up with what's happening with all of us. I don't want us to out-grow each other, it's the saddest thing that could happen to a great friendship.

4th wedding anniversary

Today is our wedding anniversary. We have been together for 10 years now, 4 years as husband and wife. I still can’t believe we’ve been together that long. Sometimes I even forget I am married to Buboy! Now don’t get me wrong. I take it as something positive. I mean, at least I know I’m not getting bored with my husband. Our life has not become ordinary and he has continued to be interesting to me. Believe me, I still get excited over meeting Buboy after work and still feel like we're on a date every time we go out. We have been together long enough to grow up together that it is amazing we still discover lots of surprising things about each other.

But not everyday is a sunny day for us. Buboy and I are but (very) ordinary couple after all. I’m just glad to have lots of happy moments that drown up the bad ones when needed. I know we’ll continue to stock up on positive experiences to will last us our lifetime.


And yes Mec, the best is yet to come.
