the promise

for a lack of anything else to watch, i ended up tuning into a local channel at 8pm earlier and of course, i watched what they were playing during the timeslot...

it was a local movie which starred richard gutierrez and angel locsin, i'm sure alot of people would know who they are and would know that the film was shown a few years back already. like what i said, i was pretty damn bored and had no other options. what better way to spend my Friday evening than to watch "The Promise"

the title, as most people would think, actually spoils the whole story. the usual plot of two childhood sweethearts who grew up together and fell for each other and made a promise to stay with one another no matter what. it's the usual against all odds or more like against all the bitches and assholes around you kinda thing. man, it's the same story over and over again, Filipino writers have this obsession of placing a love triangle element in every kilig movie they make. i'm not sure whether they are deliberately turning moviegoers off or they've been stuck in the sampaguita films loveteam-loveteam era. o well, beats me. like what they say; "kanya-kanyang trip lang yan, walang pakialaman" hahaha

hmm, the moral of this whole entry is to just sleep and not turn into a couch potato during a Good Friday. i've learned my lesson, next holy week, i'd prolly stack up on some reading materials and just prop on my bed to read instead of switching my tv on or better yet, i'll listen to senti songs til my ears bleed out. teehee

ok, ok. i hafta confess. as much as i was bashing the film. i couldn't help but somehow love some parts of it. these are basically the times that the stars were kissing each other. reminds me of my own little "moment" with by bf. man, where are you when i need you sweetness? *hint, hint*
