Carried Away

Last year, the buzz surrounding Sex and the City The Movie was making me curious big time. Everyone was talking about it and the hype made me restless to watch it as well. I haven't really watched Sex and the City but I heard of it from one time. When the DVD was released, I rushed to the store and bought one for myself.

The movie was really girly and pro-feminine and all that and I wondered why I watched this movie. A guy watching SATC is rather odd but I loved the fashion and the setting. The story, I didn't really get it so much till I analyzed hard. I mean, four women in New York talking about men and stuff was a new change and interest for me. Wow! The world is so big after all! I didn't expect that sex was such a normal topic to these women when in the Philippines, talking about it is kind of like a taboo or something.

It became one of my favorite movies. It was smart and intellectual and fabulous. And I love Carrie Bradshaw! She's a writer in New York which is what I have always wanted to become. I want to write articles for newspapers and magazines and have a beautiful life and all that and plenty of money! And live in New York!

Fast forward to July of 2009...

I didn't really want to watch SATC the series as it was too girly and all but I was just really curious so I bought the first three seasons. I can't say that I'm hooked because the story really isn't my thing but I liked it. I'm obsessed with Carrie's working status. Imagine writing a column and that's just that! You party all night and get to do the job you love most!

It's a little tiring to watch these women talk about sex and boys though, but you learn a lot from a womans perspective or from the show itself. It's also fun to watch what they wear and how they pull it off. Not that I intend on wearing their wardrobe or anything! Plus, the New York scene is to die for! I've always wanted to go there ever since.

Carrie is also always typing in her laptop which is what we have in common. She loves to write and so do I! The difference is that she has something to write about and I do not! I mean, I aways have to think about what to write everytime I open my Blogger account!

The truth is I'm not really a good writer, I barely use difficult words and I sound like a dumb blonde(according to my estranged sister). I just want to make people laugh and relate to me. So?

Like Carrie, life may be complicated but it's important to have fun and enjoy the moment. That's something I want to emulate.
