13 Going 30... 30 going 13
Summary - Appreciating is a hard thing to do
Hectic hectic day... So hi guys, hows life?
Yesterday I was watching a movie "13 going 30" on RTM2 with the mrs. Did you watch it? Well no fear, this is not a movie review. It is about one 13 years old wishing to be 30. And like every thing else in a movie, the wish come true.
I'm not sure about you, but when I am at that age, I cant wait to become adult. No more studying, no more exams, a lot of money every months. Can do anything we desire without the need to seek approval, Wow! that would be heavenly.
Not that my childhood is no fun. Believe me. It was the best time of my life. With all the drama, the rebellion, the awesome company, SO MUCH free time, I sometime wonder what to do... Now that I'm working. every once in a while, I start wishing to be given the opportunity to turn back time, and maybe this time I will appreciate the time more.
I believe every one, if given the chance, want to do the same. Am I right? Why ya?
I'm thinking this all through out the movie. And this is what I can come up with
- We really are so bad at appreciating and be thankful. when we were kids, we don't appreciate all the wonderful things we're given and jealous of all the things adult do. It actually not a surprise because we were just not that mature at the time. But why when we were supposed to be more mature now, the "bad at appreciating" seems to still be there.
- It doesn't stop there, we always find eating at other's house is more delicious than our very own cooking. We always envied other people for their perfect life, when in fact they were doing the same on you.
- any other examples guys?
--------------- Personal Note --------------------------
I know somebody may find that the movie is so ewww heheh. Well unfortunately I really like that type of movie. For me movies should satisfy my imagination. If I want to see war movies, I am better off with the evening news :). Anyway my kind of favorite movies are those that are imaginative like Harry Potter, LOTR, Highlander etc. Comedy is another genre I love. Ya la, if you are going to sit there for 2 hours, you are entitled to a happier you after the movie... :)

Movies To Heart
There are millions of movies (if counted from the beginning of time of course) in the world, we just cannot watch them all. Yes, we need to choose. Read the review and check whether it will benefit us or not Movies are supposed to be pure entertainment. I do not agree. If I' going to lose two hours of my life. I better get something out of it
List of movies I watched and important knowledge gained
1) Lord of The Ring
- The most powerful and evil ring has only one power. Obsession which is desire, if not controlled properly will corrupt everything
2) Princess Diary 1
- You can only be hurt if you allow yourself to be hurt (The queen's bodyguard advice to the princess)
3) Phenomenon
- It is human very nature to fear what they don't understand.
- We are blessed with so much potential. Some of those we aware and some we don't. In the end, it depends on what we do with it
4) Jumanji
- Being a grown up means you take responsibility of what you did

No, learning something from movies you watch is not a turn off. It actually
make the movie easier to remember.
