on watching The Love of Siam
just last year, i found my email flooded with reviews on this Thai movie The Love of Siam. I sort of regarded these as spam and didn't even bother to read the reviews. The movie's promo poster didn't even attract me a bit. before the end of last year my friendster got a friend request... mario maurer. Then I thought, it was just Rey, a friend who's fond of creating fake friendster profiles. Confirmed, it's Rey Lim.
just yesterday, as I was resting, preparing for the PBA, i went online. I saw in my email again a promotional link of a Filipino who blogs from Bangkok. Apparently, the topmost part of the blog says something about mario maurer again. Then it rang a bell. Isn't he the guy in that movie review in my email last year? Since I had 4 hrs to spare, I decided to search for the movie in the ever reliable youtube. Voila, there were a couple or more of users which have the whole uploaded. I started with the 6th out of the 17 parts.
fast forward today 15 minutes before noon, I still cannot forget the movie. Funny. I even told 5 friends I spoke to last night and this morning to try watching it. I definitely fell in love with it. I've been to Thailand and it made me feel really attached to the movie, that it seemed that I can relate to the scenes very much. Now I don't wonder why I'm even blogging about it.
my fascination of being bitten by vamps (true blood), being a hunter (supernatural), being an upper eastsider (gossip girl) etc, are all gone for now. i feel like I want to bring back my life back to its younger years particularly when I was in high school. All these years, I never really paid attention to loving someone really serious. I've always taken for granted those people who thought of loving me. All I thought of was mingling with my upper class friends. It made me realize, it's not really the money which can buy happiness. It made me think, I can be happy even without these caprices I've ever wanted. I can be the Tong, the Mew, the Donut, the Ying in the movie. It still gives me goosebumps and I cannot explain it. I hope I'm inspired everyday like this. hopefully, it wouldn't matter that i don't have a car for the next couple of weeks...lolz...hopefully the message of the movie will be stuck in my mind for forever, for as long as i'm capable of loving someone. can the love of siam really happen in real life?
Currently feeling: inspired
