When Going to A Movie is a Luxury

It’s been almost a year I live in an island with no:

1. Movie theaters 
2. Malls 
3. Franchise fast foods 
4. Franchise supermarkets 
5. Franchise restaurants 
6. Franchise beauty shop or any other franchises, just name it

When we want to have them, we need to get to the island next to this. Of course with extra cash for:

1. A round trip ferry boat ticket 
2. Taxi to deliver you from the seaport to the place and back to the seaport

The money you cost for that extra is waaaaaaaaayyy higher than the money you cost for your main purpose. Then movie theatre really is a luxury here. You start to lose your sight for the latest movie played and talked in the entire world.

I’m not a big fan of a movie theatre but when there are moments when you don’t really into some movie but this movie is the final sequel and you’ve already watched all the prequels, or this just a common movie but everybody is talking about it. So like it or not it is a must seen movie. You just don’t want to sit there in the middle of a conversation with your fellas with your mouth open and the look in your eyes says ‘what the heck are this entire people talking about?’ –Trust me, people who do that when you’re talking about something is a real life pain in the ass–

I just had that kind of movie ping moment last week. It was really hard to find a right time to go to a movie since beside the extra money you also need extra 2 hours to get there. You do remember when I talked about extra money right? That factor makes us draw as much agenda as we possibly could do when we get there. Just like the wise man said ‘killing two birds –or more– with one stone’ haha –it is the refined version of budget effectiveness–

Humans!!

You used to hate traffic jam; running through the sidewalk snatching taxi; queuing on the ticket box on a movie theatre or on some crowded restaurant which still able to make you willing to wait hours for a table; driving around the parking lot for hours just to wish any luck to get a parking spot in a mall; breaking through bunch of people in discount hunting.

It’s funny when you have a life far away from the city crowd. You’ll have these much time to deliberate with yourself. Then you just realize it more than ever. That you. Miss. THE city crowd. Real bad. ahahahahhaha.

You really don’t miss your water ‘till the well runs dry do you?

Have a wonderful holiday everybody!!
