Flipped Over Chick Flicks
I have been addicted lately to collecting DVDs. Whenever I'm at the mall, I could not resist not passing by Astrovision/Odyssee. I must always get at least 1 to 2 DVDs a month. Grabe, sobrang na-addict talaga ako! I was surprised at how my DVD collection has grown since the time I started collecting. Initially, my goal was to collect Academy Award winning films, as well as critically acclaimed indie films. But lo and behold, whenever I’m in front of the DVD store rack, I was always lured to check out titles with Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler on them. Oo na, the hopeless romantic in me always overpowers my artsy fartsy side.
For a single woman like me, chick flicks can be a good source of inspiration that someday, somehow, somewhere my Mr. Darcy would come right along, sweeping me off my feet. The downside of it is, after watching the flick, I snap back to reality and then I realize that my Mr. Darcy still is not there, I wonder what’s taking him so long and then I start to envy Bridget Jones. Oh well! :p
But despite that, you would still see me at Astrovision the following week can’t quite figure out if I’d get a Cameron Diaz flick over a Julia Roberts flick, I would still gush and be wrapped around with mush for 2 and a half hours. And even if harsh reality would slowly creep back in after, I still like to be captivated by the notion of love and a happily ever after ending. Who knows? Maybe these fantasies do become a reality soon. Calling, Mr. Darcy. Hehe :p
