Movies....lesson to learn

Lately I watched many movies. I watch all of them alone. I tell you, movies are not for merely entertainment. They also serve as teaching some moral values. Some of them are quite inspirational. Some of them are just purely stupid.

Two movies; The Break Up and Click. Really I think the first movie is quite plain. Noting much to be told except the same old cliche' - you do things not because you partner asks you to, you do things because you know your partner appreciates them. Small things often lead to big things. It's like a snowball. First it is a small round shape snow. When it goes down, it starts to sweep the snow in its way and balls up to be a huge gigantic ball. Ruining everything in its path. That's how small things can ruin a beautiful relationship.

You come late for the date, you don't call your partner once every two or three days, you forgot her birthday, or your anniversary date, or your partner's sister's birthday, you don't wear the tie which she bought as your birthday present last year etc.

Those things can ruin your life. I tell you. No! The movie tells you that! You know, women would cry if you dont remember their birthday date. (Oh man, I hate when they use their tears as silent weapon!) I give in easily when they start to use those crystal clear liquid coming out from their eyelid.

Sometimes it's not we ignore you when we do that. We just forget! Accidentally being forgetful. Absent minded kinda moment. We, men, dont usually retain those kinds of information for more than 5 seconds. Most of the time those things are written in our planner. And most of the time it is written on the page which we rarely open.

I would admit that men work extra hard during the courting season. Right after they achieved their objective, then it would be stored in achievement folder. Extra work will be channeled to appropriate areas. This is what I call, an efficient project management. Hey, don't get me wrong! That is how typical men would behave. Swear to God, I do not want to be typical guy. I try my best to write important dates in my brain cells. I would spontaneously recall those sweet moments when I see my girl (can't forget how she dressed herself on that day one I met her). What color of clothes did she wear. Or where was the place we stopped to have a drink before she left for somewhere.

The movie Click, starring Adam Sandler (he's the best!), tries to tell you how important men value the achievement in their life. Not because for themselves. It's for their loved ones. Surely I dont want my children and my wife to suffer due to my inability to provide them with neccesities. Therefore I must work hard. Put extra time, put extra work so daddy can earn more money to feed the kids. To buy Prada shoes for mommies and to put food on the table. But something happened along the way. Men tend to be ignorant of what their family need from them. Them become resclusive. They go after only power, money and status. I'm sure not all men are like that. Only some of them do act that way. These things have become an obsession to them. Addicted to these, men will be useless and worth only to a piece of shit.

I'm not perfect. I could be one of those assholes I mentioned earlier. But the thing is, please help me when I do act that way. Be my guide. When I start to show my lack of awareness about the person I love. When I start to forget things like when did we first meet or things like that. Deep down in my heart, I know I love them. I love my parents, my siblings, my partner and my friends. But I am not an angel. I do have flaws. Sometimes I use my knee instead of my brain. Or my ass.

Men need to be reminded constantly. I guess that is why God makes women to nag. It is their nature, possibly. We like to be told, not to be nagged. It takes one time only, at a time. Do not tell things 100 times in a time. That is a harrasment. But I guess the most subtle way to remind the men is by using those little cute yellow notes. It works for me though. Write short and sweet on that piece of note and post it on the computer screen. Or, on my laptop. Ah well, you ladies know better than me! Hehehehe..

Allrite, I need to stop now. I think I write too much but I don't give a hoot! One thing I can tell you now, I love all the people who exist in my life now. I appreciate them and I want to spend more time with them. Unfortunately, we all are entitled to 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Unlike the indonesian song which tells me a crap, '25 jam sehari....delapan hari seminggu'.
