I was only able to watch one movie this weekend.
Can't buy me love 1987.
Starring a very young Patrick Dempsey.
Who looked like a young Sean Penn. Hehehe.
For some unknown reason, I like watching 80's teenage movie.
They seem all pop-culture-y.
It gives me the idea of how things were back in the 80's.
Every end of an 80's movie, I don't feel any sense of fulfillment or awe or anything,
but I always find myself coming back for more.
Of the most famous 80's teenage movies, I think I only have one left to watch,
that is "Ferries Bueller's day Off" and it seems like a fun movie. :D

Anyway Hemingway, I realized that the reason I am watching these
different movies, from different eras and different races is that
I want to have a glimpse of different cultures. Of different times.
Which are really really great. Like traveling and time traveling. :D
Like books, only more vivid and more short. :D
I have accepted quite lately, that I am having a shorter attention span.

And I have come to enjoy movies like "running with scissors".
I am trying to explore the "independent movies".
Not that because it's a "hipster" thing or anything.
They seem more real and appeals more to the intellect than any
commercial/superficial human interactions.
But I think I lean more to the lighter kinds of independent movies
than the heavy ones. Maybe later and maybe every now and then
but...yeah...I think I'll stick to the lighter ones like "running with scissors". :D


*On the other side of things, beside movies, I have come back to swimming again. :D :D :D
Water is LOVE.
Sarina said the other day her "joie de vivre" (joy of life) is dancing, my joie de vivre is swimming.
The father and I tried "Ace water spa" a couple of weeks ago and it was way fun.
But not for a cheap price. We paid 550 each for a four hour all-you-can-use amenities.
I got across the water spa when i was looking for an indoor pool that opens early on weekends.
They are open 6 am to 11pm.
We always swim for at little less than two hours and then we go to the hydro-massages and then to the hot herbal pools and the sauna.
Today is my first time using the sauna. It was quite nice. But one can't feel ones perspiration when one is all wet from all the swimming. :P
We had a forty 25m back and forth laps.
I was scared of doing it when father announced we'll be having forty laps this weekend.
Last week we had 30 laps and I almost gave up on the 25th.
The first week we had 20 laps.
But finishing the 40 laps this weekend was awesome. :D
After the spa, I went to sleep. and there's nothing that beats sleeping after a good hard swim, spa and a sauna. :D
