My first movie ticket to my Alone Date

After my bank errands in Robinson's Galleria yesterday and finishing my "work" (On a side note: I actually have an aversion to the word since it really makes me shiver with disgust. I just don't want work because you're just paid to do it. I need to feel the passion! But anyways….I will just call it making my dreams come true), I still had time to kill before my 730PM meeting in Makati. I needed some inspiration to make my dreams come true And I also wanted to celebrate our 7 years and 4 months of being together

I was already in the mall and had a few options:

1. Eat or have dessert and coffee / tea. Unfortunately, I was full and just had tea.
2. Shop. Ummm, I think this is way out of the question. Also, shopping is no fun if you're lugging around your laptop.
3. Watch a movie.Hmmmm BUT I don't watch movies alone

Then again, why not watch a movie alone as an ALONE DATE?!? And so I did. I went on my very 1st alone date by watching a movie alone….

I went through the movie list and contemplated which movie to watch. The Echo? Nah. Too scary to watch alone. G-Force? Nah. Best watched with my little sisters. The Ugly Truth? Not really. Watching a romantic comedy alone is a joke. Fame? I am loyal to the original one so I think I'll pass on this one.

I was working on a food and dining related project and what perfect way to get the creative juices flowing by watching Julie & Julia.

After buying my solo ticket, I then texted some good friends on my brave move and that I will miss the warm hug of Dodong in the cold movie house. I do thank them for the wonderful support and words of encouragement. I wanted to share with you the text message of LTD contributor, Ms Jones, which made me realize how much I am blessed even if I was on an alone date

7++ years of Happiness is indeed very very very good

How was the alone date you ask? It was SUPER! It was indeed a Happy 7 years and 4 months celebration of love for me Though, as predicted, I did feel the cold (it really was cold!); I enjoyed the movie immensely. I'd say this is MY inspiration movie which I would watch again and again and again when I am in need of a creative jolt. The movie even made me want to take my 1st alone date a notch further because I suddenly did feel gastronomically challenge and in need of French cuisine satisfaction

But I guess I can reserve the French dinner for my next alone date. Any more alone date suggestions you can share?

Love the distance,
