watched the french romance comedy "Priceless" just now. a romance show was not supposed to be watched alone but i did. i'm in a romance with myself. haha. ok. not at all funny. back to seriousness. well, the show is entertaining. hello. its a comedy. of course its entertaining. other than the occasional comical part, the show is just average i will say. somehow, i dont really like the theme of it. it revolves around money being the main attraction in a romance/love. the gal, knowing that the guy is not rich as he is "supposed" to be, deliberately went to an expensive french restaurant and ordered expensive food like caviar when she dont like it but just because its expensive, even saying that she is forcing herself and one day she might like it. what a b****. that's not all, she booked a suite at a very luxurious hotel, took his visa card and bought branded shoes, clothes, dresses etc, even though knowing that those items will cost him his entire life savings. but the guy, willingly let her spend because he liked her. she told him he cant go on, but foolish him, he rebutted by saying, what's the problem, he's paying so there is no problem there. at 1 point in time, when the scene showed him down to his last coin, with the ATM showing an error, indicating there is no money left in his bank anymore, i felt so sorry for him and pitied him. for love, he is willing to give up all his savings on a woman whom will prob never accept him because he is poor. the plot goes on with him finding a rich woman whom made him her gigolo. the story ends with her realising that money is not everything in true love. money cant buy true love. of course, the 2 got together and it was a happy ending. liked the ending although i dont like the plot.
money is necessary but it is not everything. i dont deny that a person cant do without money. and i am saying this from my point now. why? because i am broke. haha. been spending a lot since the holidays start. despite my pay, somehow, my aim of increasing my savings seem to be progressing so slowly. spent too much on food. food, food and more food. my stomach is my real "bank". and just today, i went to the food expo at singapore expo. boy, its really a heaven to me. ate a lot and of course, spent a lot there today. but its all worth it. eating is a luxury. i love to eat.
after a fruitful harvest at the food expo, with my "fuel tank" full, i went to the airport again. cant remember how many times i have been to the airport in this month of may, but on average, i went there at least once every week. i loved the airport. i loved the planes. i loved to see them. see them parked, see them taxi, see them take off and land. wonderful and magnificent creations. its so relaxing just to be there at the viewing gallery, watching these huge machines in their beauty.
after leaving the airport, i headed to lido to watch "priceless" and there is my day, doing things that i loved to do, spending time by myself. today is indeed an enjoyable day. a day (not including the morning and early afternoon) spent just by myself, doing all my favourite things. that, indeed, is Priceless. something that no money can buy.
