like in the movies

so.. it was raining cats and dogs just now. couldn't go out cause I can't see properly when it's raining, actually my vision gets kinda cloudy whenever I drive at night. yikes :(

stayed home and watched a movie called "We Bought A Zoo" starring Matt Damon. it's been a while since our family watched a movie together, though it was only me and the parents just now. haha the others were too busy with games and stuff. tsk

the movie really touched me. actually all movies do. i'm just a very emotional person. LOL
kinda love how movies are always so predictable - start off good, then comes the storm of problems, and finally, rainbow after the rain. everything just goes so smoothly.

I guess that's why we're all so in love with movies. We wish our lives would be like how it is in movies, where the sun always shine when you need it to, where good guys always win in the end, where the boy you like likes you back, and where everything is just... like a movie.

well if you look really closely, you'd realize that life is just like the movies. it is, it really is.
now we reach the part where I bore you with my favorite part(s) of the movie:

"sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. And I promise you, something good will come out of it."

"talking to girls is easy. They'll tell you anything. The key to talking is listening."
 

and last but not least.. (ahh the tears I cried inside and out for this)


so after the zoo was a success, movie shows Matt Damon bringing his kids to a diner. Apparently it was the place where he first met their mother, who sadly passed away due to an illness.

He was, as usual, telling them a story, this time on how he met their mother...
 
*tears welling up omg*

"So this was where I first saw your mother. She was sitting at this very table."

 then he walks out of the diner and demonstrated to his kids how he walked passed.

"I was walking by, and then I saw her. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I stopped. I literally stopped for 10 seconds. and I thought to myself, 20 seconds of insane courage. and I walked in."

"when I walked in, I thought to myself, what was I doing?! but by then I still had 15 seconds of courage, so with that I walked up to her and said.."


and he looked to his kids, both were so eager to hear him finish. the look on their faces is <3
:')
then their mum appeared, and amazingly the children can see her too. it was beautiful, really, that scene.

"I said.. 'Excuse me...'" (followed by the longest most excruciating pause EVER)



"Why would a beautiful lady like you, even speak to a guy like me?" 
to which his wife replied...
"Why not?

I swear it was the most.. ughghhg scene!! I couldn't bear it I cried. even when I stopped crying my heart continued to weep. idk it just touched me. sigh. maybe it's the weather or something. i'm SAD and HAPPY at the same time this is too much.

I think you have to watch the movie to feel it. the love, the anger, everything. :'D
