THE BREAK UP

I had a very nice date yesterday. It was one of those moments when I enjoyed watching a movie while eating inside the theatre.

It was also kinda weird for lately I am no longer used to watching a movie unless it's with Miko.At first I felt uneasy going inside this dark moviehouse and sit beside people I don't really know especially when I found out that there were only few seats taken and the theatre is kinda empty.Oh well! I wonder no more for the movie was on its second week.

Having a date with me, myself and I was kinda refreshing. I used to do this for a very long time (before I met Miko)! I am an independent person. If I want to eat out, watch a concert or movie, I'll do it- all by myself and it's not lonely being alone, contrary to what most people think. I'm not the type who would drag somebody along just so I can do whatever I want to do. At times, I feel like I enjoy whatever I'm doing if I'm alone although there are some things that is best done with a group or with somebody close to your heart.

However, I just felt weird for just a few moments when I stepped inside that dark theatre and I was with no body! I was being cautious for I sat near 2 women, I was 2 seats apart from them, unlike before I would prefer the first seat right next to the aisle in the middle of the theatre so I get the full view of the moviescreen. This time I did the same but I made sure I was near the exit and women.I'm not really scared just cautious.

I watched the movie " THE BREAK UP " starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.It's a romantic comedy and I very much like the character of Jennifer Aniston here. I can relate in most aspects, period. The movie tackled basically the differences between a man and a woman and how these two species think. And the repercussions of break ups.

I totally agree on the premise that there are some men who don't know how to appreciate their partner and most often than not couples have miscommunication for these two people think about things differently and that the other person thinks that he fully understand what she's thinking or feeling.

The scene which strikes me the most is when Vince's character doesn't want at first to do the dishes but then later on dragged himself to the kitchen to try to want to do it. I like the argument Jennifer's character brought up, " IT'S NOT DOING WHAT THE OTHER PARTNER WANTS, IT'S WANTING TO DO WHAT THE OTHER PERSON WANTS WITHOUT THE OTHER PERSON TELLING THE OTHER TO DO IT." Make sense right?

It's the initiative that matters. It's thinking in advance. It's trying to read the partner's mind. It's also loving the things the other partner wants doing and be interested too. All these are signs of showing appreciation of the partner's efforts.

Being in a relationship is really hard work. There's these two individuals, two different people from different backgrounds, with different points of view and personalities trying to work things out towards one vision, one goal.

In the book " LOVE STORY " by Erich Segal, it says there " Loving means not looking at each other but looking together at the same direction." If this is the true meaning of loving I guess I am lost right now!

But I'm still hoping I'll find my way home.... I'm trying....very much.
