Pamper Day: Bride for Rent

I always thought of something I could immerse myself in and divert my attention to other things other than nursing my baby and the needs of my husband while he is far away. I need to fully exert my stress each and every day so I won't be loaded enough to burst into tears whenever I feel weary. So, since I am really into having "ME" time (of course my husband fully supported me with this), I always find a way on how to relax and pamper myself once or even twice a month.

It was last week when I asked my friend to hang out with me and watched a movie entitled "Bride for Rent," which stars Kim Chiu and Xian Lim. If you've been hanging out here lately, maybe you already read my post about "Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo" which I also watched because I just so love Kim! And so we scheduled our movie date yesterday at about 5:40 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the cinema, there were no seats available already, and we had to buy tickets for the last full show. So we decided to take the last one, or else we'll have to schedule it out again. By 7 PM we were already lined up waiting for the 5:40 peeps to come out. Yes! There are so many people watching it that we have to line up at an early time, even an hour away from the start of the movie.

You meet thousands of people. And none of them really touched you. And then you meet one person. And your life is changed FOREVER. And FOREVER means loving each other every waking day.

The movie is about two people who have to act like they are a real couple for the sake of the trust fund of Xian, who played the role of Roco. At first he thought that he was going to have the sumof 80 million pesos once he turned 25. But his grandmother, "Lala," played by Pilita Corales, had already made an amendment that he had to be married by that time. So, the problematic Roco and his friends got an idea to hire a "wife" for him until he got his trust fund. That's when Kim entered the story, portraying the role of "Rocky." To avoid spoiling the movie for all of you guys, I won't tell the twist of the story here! :)

I was so giddy and kept on laughing until the very end of the story. They really got chemistry together, and it seems like all the acts were real and not just scripted. I also shed some tears on some parts wherein they talk about family life and living away from family. Well, the moral of the story is just the same as with their last movie, but just have the emphasis on Xian's role. Apart from this, they tackle how to handle relationships, not just with a partner but also with in-laws; how to live a happy life with your wife; and the certain factors that arise during the first year of marriage. In fact, after watching the movie, I decided to take a glimpse at the website "The Happy Wives Club" and think about if I will join or not or just let myself indulge with the articles online. I even thought of purchasing the book, but for the meantime I just read the sample chapters. The movie "Bride for Rent" is really a feel-good movie.

Have you watched the movie already?
