Sex and the City: The Movie =-=spoiler alert!=-=

-
This is a story about love, life in fast-paced New York and most of all, a story about friendship.

It began with a short recap on how the girls are -- Carrie, the ever fashionable New Yorker, has left Aleksandr Petrovsky and is now, once again, back in the arms of Mr. Big; Miranda, the intellectual lawyer has married her long time boyfriend, Steve and both are doting parents to Brady; pink-loving Charlotte has married Harry, her divorce lawyer, and after years of trying to have a baby has now adopted a cute chinese girl named Lily; finally, Samantha who has won the battle against cancer, moved to LA to be with her boyfriend Smith Jerrod who's an up-and-coming actor in Hollywood but flies back and forth to New York to meet up with the girls.

The movie later moved on to the newest developments in the lives of the girls. There's a wedding being planned, a baby on the way, a re-evaluation of a current relationship and an obstacle that will put trust and yes, love, to the test. Needless to say, it touches on every single aspect of a woman's life. Focusing more on the importance of having girl friends around when the world seems to crumble right front of you.

I'd like to share with you my Top 3 most impactful SATC the Movie moments:

1) The time when Steve told Miranda he had a one night stand...
... and repeatedly defended himself by saying "it was just one time" over and over again. I felt my heart plummet all the way down to the ground as I can just imagine my own boyfriend or future husband giving me the same news (oh dear Lord..i hope this will never happen though). I saw the pain in Miranda's eyes and the feeling that she has just been betrayed by the most important man in her life. However, love is truly powerful that no matter how hard you fight to stay far away from him and how often you'd tell yourself to just forget him... i always believe that love will make you do crazy things...even to forgive and yes, forget.

2) The time when Carrie dragged herself out of bed just to be with Miranda on New Year's Day
The entire city went out to party while our two single girls stayed a home and immediately felt the loneliness without a loved one nearby. This scene showed the beauty of having a girl friend who will do anything for you. Thank God for girl friends. Ü
3) The time when Carrie's BIG day turned out to be a no-BIG day
I knew something bad is bound to happen when I saw the trailer scene where a mobile phone was dropped and the girls are rushing down the stairs with Carrie in her wedding gown. Right there at the middle of New York's busy avenue, Carrie met up with Big and began hitting him while screaming and crying at the same time. Mr. Big suddenly had cold feet and chose to back out from the wedding. This, I think is one thing that every girl would consider a nightmare. While watching this scene, I whispered into Paul's ear: "please do not ever do this to me..." with matching tears streaming down my face.

The movie ended with the four girls back at their favorite bar celebrating Samantha's 50th birthday. I love every teeny-tiny detail that was shown as it made us laugh and cry and laughed and cried some more. It made me thankful for having great girl friends who has been there for me through all these years :)

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
