Movie: Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants

Just finished watching "Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants." Wow! It's really a movie that had exceeded expectation. The first time I tried to watch it I lost my attention span when they were sitting around making up rules for the pair of pants, just a tad short of when the pace picks up. Luckily I have a husband who sometimes likes to watch chick flicks with me so we finished watching it tonight. :)

My favorite scene in the movie was when Lena's grandfather sitting next to her grandmother while she was hanging squids (?) and he leaned in and kissed her on her shoulder. When it comes to love, many said that eternity doesn't matter, it's all in the moments. I guess it's kinda like an explosive moment that can last a life time. And that is not the kind of love that I want. Personally, I prefer something that doesn't have a lot of high peaks and low ditches, but more steady and long-lasting. When I was still seeking for my partner in life, a friend of me said, "when you found 'the one', he/she will rock your world." And I've always thought that was true. If my husband has, at any point, rocked my world, I wasn't aware of it, but I much prefer him showing his endless love for me via all the small things that he's done for me. To me, that's the ideal kind of relationship and I have exactly what I've always wanted.

And, hubby and I have decided to retire to Greek because of the movie. ^_^

On a side note, Alexis Bledel did a great job in the movie. (Actually, all the four girls + the little girl were fantastic, but I've never seen them in any other shows/movies before.) I've always loved Alexis from Gilmore Girls, and even though that's the only other place I've seen her, she was totally Lena in "Travelling Pants." Can't really see any shadows of Rory Gilmore in herl, except, of course, for her face. :P Great job, Alexis!

A quick search on the internet tells me that there's part II and III to book I of "Travelling Pants." I wish I still read. ;_;
