I watched Kung Fu Panda again.
Yup... you read it right... I watched Kung Fu Panda again...with Sasah! There are just few friends whom I can watch movies with...twice...on big screen...in two consecutive Fridays! It was another TGIF! Thank God for Sasah! Since the first time we watched KFP with our other friends, she has been so eager to watch again... and so did I.
I stepped out of the office at about four-thirty in the afternoon...yeah, it was sooooo early...thank God for my boss who left earlier. I was glad not to be jammed in traffic that I had to drove back home first because my movie-freak friend, excuse me for the term, was still crunching numbers. She handles one of the biggest accounts in the audit firm and it seems like her weekends are just any ordinary work days. We were supposed to go to the Manila's Oceanarium last Saturday but there was a sudden call of duty that we canceled the trip.
Anyway, when I came home my housemates, Len and Pia, who both took a sick leave, were there. In an hour Pia had to leave for Batangas and Len had to wait for Tin to come home. I took a nap and was awaken by the sound of our kitchen utensils and paraphernalia. They were cooking for dinner! Wow! Sinigang! I immediately called Sah if she like to eat @ 2724 or if she likes to eat out since it's our usual Friday Nightout. She was okay with the idea that we were going to eat one of 2724's specialities. So I fetched her in her apartment to have a quick dinner so we can catch up the 10:10pm show in Rockwell. It was a yummy dinner! home-made! =)
We hurried after dinner and arrived in Power Plant at about 10. Good timing. Enough allowance to grab a fruit shake. And thanks to Sah for paying for the movie tickets!
It was fun watching the movie again. I was looking forward to seeing and hearing my favorite scenes and conversations. And yeah, I could not help it but laughed before those hilarious scenes lines were spoken. Though based on my research the principles were from Zen philosophy, I believe it was rooted in Christian beliefs. The discipleship principle was demonstrated and lived well by Christ. I also like how Oogway dramatically said his line, "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it is called Present." It reminded me of one of my mentors who quoted the same line when she was teaching me to enjoy every moment of my day...to thank God for the gift of Today.
As I was watching the movie again, I just could not believe how Tai Lung can be so furious with Shifu. I just could not imagine how you can hate so much the person who loved you most. Then I was reminded of Lucifer. He was loved by God, as his angel. But because of his pride, wanting to be like God, he fell. He was corrupted by his desire to be of equal position with his Creator. So he became a fallen angel. He even instigated that Jesus was to be killed. Tried everything in his limited power to wage war against God. Even attempted to thwart God's plan of salvation. But we know the ending of the story. It is not only "good" but it is surely "GOD" who will triumph over evil. Victory belongs to the children of God...and we have our destiny in Christ Jesus. He will not only give us the strength and everything we need for the battle, but He will be there to fight with and for us.
Sasah and I went home after the movie and before we bid good night to each other, we prayed. And this is what I love about us...our friendship is rooted in prayer. And at the end of the day, after everything that had happened, we always acknowledge Christ's Lordship over our lives...all areas of our lives.
Looking forward to the Oceanarium trip and for another great Friday.
