Saturday September 20th, 2008 04:38 Almost a Year Forward

Having realized how the last movie we saw together on the big screen was Cinemalaya’s Imoral (an experience which deserves a new entry altogether), a movie date was immediately drawn out on the draft board. We weren’t sure what good movies are out for this week but we figured out it’s high time that we add another movie in the already very outdated list of movies we’ve seen. The lucky pick was Babylon A.D. at Trinoma and it wasn’t until when Bee jokingly added how the movie date’s going to be like the very first one we had that it occurred to me how it’s been almost a year since we technically “met”. How the two of us ended up together two years after we met online is not really something we hid from the people we knew. In the modern times, a story like this is a classic: a friendship transcending from cables, wires and fiber optics to the “real” physical world is not something novel. But I guess, it’s never passe when things – especially good ones – happen right smack at your face.

The plan was to see a movie, dine out and perhaps drop by the coffee shop where we first met (clue: it’s the one right in the middle of a beautiful garden) – just like the what we did almost a year ago. The fact that it wasn’t really my idea to “relive the moments” to begin with made the plan more heartwarming – you know, the tickle-to-the-bone kind. Sadly the “date that was” was never relived. We missed the movie altogether because the queue at CD-R King was too long. It would have been really funny if we were actually able to retrace our steps to when we “started” and lived the day as we had it a year back (minus the stress, extra flabs that warrant the best diet pill in the market). Disappointing as it was, at the end of the day, the only thing that would have mattered is that at least we were together, right?
