Overdue Beatlemania (?)
I think I really need to watch this movie, is the DVD out already?
For the past few months that I found out about this movie from Elsie Flannigan’s blog, I felt that I really wanted to watch the movie and see it for myself. I blogged about it twice, here.
I am, by my standards not so easily convinced into watching a movie unless I have a strong desire, but I really felt that this is one of those movies that will amaze me and leave me deeply impacted.
This Thursday, I just couldn’t resist it anymore. I am not really a Beatles fan. I used to think they were a bit overrated but the songs which I know they had penned/sung were just OK to me. Sidenote: I know, I’m a late bloomer, Lorraine, to have only discovered the Beatles at a ripe age of 22, what can I say? I have an acquired taste.
I was browsing through Popular at Tampines wondering if they carried the CD. At first I couldn’t find it but then after paying for my purchases I went back again, lo and behold, it was love at first sight on the top shelf rack!
I bought the soundtrack just to hear Evan Rachel Wood(Marilyn Manson’s current girlfriend) sing the Beatles’ If I Fell (check out the video link, it just breaks my heart). Still the $20 was worth it, because I fell with TV Carpio’s (she’s Filipina Chinese) rendition of I Wanna Hold Your Hand. OK, granted that in the movie she was a lesbian cheerleader and the song suddenly had a new meaning to it.
BLESSED
Super blessed this week, my sister and I had two free cab rides courtesy of the people from work. OK we don’t really know them, it’s just a casual smile, but we thank them a lot!
The BIG Boss (to differentiate from the Boss) confirmed us last Tuesday! For those of you who are not aware, we have a 3 months probation thingy at work so if we get sick or anything within this period it’s considered as UNPAID LEAVE which will be deducted from our pay. God moved in such a way that we now can take medical leave! YAY! Especially for me since this past week I have been having flu-like symptoms and sore throat. Today, I got caught in the rain while going back from the food court to my workplace, the umbrella which was supposed to protect me was leaking and it was flooding too, that was at 2:50pm by the time I reached home at 7:20pm my shoes and pants were still damp. MAJOR EEWWNESS!
I was in need of a bag because my Charles and Keith bags were either (1) tearing at the handles due to abuse or (2) a very popular design that I see it almost everywhere so I got turned off from using it. This morning, my sister called me in our room after I finished bathing and on her bed lay a nice patent Esprit bag which my Mum had bought for us…triple yay! Super happy!
Cellgroup tomorrow, hopefully, I’m feeling better.
