Under or On Top?




I noticed that it's been a week since I last posted here. I am so sorry but the reason I went on a mini-hiatus is that I have made myself busy by volunteering to help High School students from Davao when they went here to Manila to attend a leadership seminar. In short, I became their designated "Kuya" (big brother) during their stay here. I guess I benefitted much from that experience, because not only did I had the chance to help others, it also helped me forget what present tradgedy I am going through right now. Being with those children are a bliss (although there are some children there who I wanted to hang on a tree for their extreme.. ahhm... hyperactiveness), it is like added theraphy to the present one I am having now.

Anyway, I am very surprised and very happy with the pace I am having regarding my break-up. Maybe the time is near when I really can say that the particular episode is really about to close an a new one is about to unfold, especially with how the new developments are going. Really, love comes when you least expect it.

Anyway, I went to see the movie, The Stepford Wives starring Nicole Kidman and directed by Frank Oz. It was a remake of the movie of the same title that was shown 25 years ago, however, the difference is that the original was supposed to be a suspense thriller and this new Kidman-starrer is on the comedic side.

I wont spoil the details but I guarantee you, it's one fun watch. It's a story of a town where all the wives are perfect and all the husbands are happy. Too good to be true, and that's where the plot starts. I really recommend this movie to couples who feel that their lives is a kind of a battle of the sexes sort of thing. The lines are very witty and the whole movie was very smart.

What struck me in the movie is that it poses a question to the viewers. A question which I wanted also to ask you dear blogging friends. I know the question is out of synch, especially if you know what I am going through right now, but still, I wanted to know your side.

Would you prefer your significant other (boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife) to be better than you (in all aspects)? Or you want yourself to be better than them?

No mediocre answers please. Just blunt honesty.

Timer starts now.
