I wanted to try skydiving and scuba-diving.
I wanted to travel alone. I wanted to go to Batanes and see its untouched beauty. I wanted to go to Bohol and have a tarsier on my palm.
I wanted to sit on one of the hills of Tanegashima and witness the twilight sky when the sun is visibly in its perfect shape. I'll stay at my very position, wait for the stars to appear and then I'll stargaze.
I wanted to go to Europe. See the midnight sun in Finland for real and spend time in at least one of Sweden's many lakes.
I wanted to go to New Zealand and taste a real fresh milk.
I wanted to buy an SLR camera to have all these photographed.
I wanted to try all these stuff but I wasn't able to since I don't have the moolah. Oh, yeah, money!
So instead of indulging myself the way I wanted to, I just busied myself watching my favorite american series, reading books I promised myself to read during sembreak, and seeing some great movies.
And now I am giving you my top 2 favorites among the movies I have seen during the break.
Here they are:
1. The Shawshank Redemption
This movie was shown more than a decade ago and it's sort of regretful on my part because I have just seen it yesterday. I'm not getting into giving details about the film since you can check it over the web. All I can say is the acting of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman is superb. The ending is quite surprising too. Watch the movie for you to find out why.lol.
The film was actually based on one of Stephen King's short stories, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. And trivia: it is the highest rating film in imdb. Check it out!
2. I am Sam
This one is soooooo two thumbs up too. The story is very very touching, which made me teary eyed.lol. Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer really deserve their awards for this film. If you watch it, you'll have your eyes glued on the screen because of the comedy-twisted drama. And most of all, the reason why the film was so wonderful is because of the lesson it conveys. Learn it yourself after watching the film.lol.
