My former officemate and I decided to catch up on each other's lives and watch free films courtesy of Cine Europa screening at the Shangri-La Plaza while we're at it. We were able to see the Belgian film "Turquaze" and the Austrian family drama "Atmen (Breathing)." I met up again on another day with another friend and was able to catch the Dutch movie, "Hæven (In a Better World)." All three movies were vastly different from the ones I'm used to seeing, and events like Cine Europa really help raise awareness both on the aesthetics of these foreign cinemas as well as the social realities and ways of living of the European people.
I also finally got to by our tickets for "The Phantom of the Opera." I would be going with my senpai and her friend, and a couple of my friends from high school.Eight days to go, and I couldn't wait. It's what I've been saving up for for the past months and it's finally coming true! I had told myself that there won't be another chance. The next time would be on London's West End. Hehe.
