Movie hypochondriac

Admittedly, I am a movie hypochondriac. Well technically, it's not hypochondria, a condition where one gets depressed because of an imagined physical ailment. But everytime I go see a movie, I tend to overly get into the lead character I'm watching and be so immersed in it, I feel that I am actually it. Take for instance the movie I watched yesterday, The Forbidden Kingdom. Right now, I feel that one of these days, I'll suddenly be transported in a mystic ancient world where I would serve a grand purpose. And to be honest with you, right now, I feel that I know kung-fu a lot that I could do a Tiger, a Praying Mantis, a Monkey or a Crane. Talk about getting into character!

Oh, and did I tell you about the time that I saw myself so much in Aga Muhlach's character, Enteng, in Kung Ako Na Lang Sana? Still single, 30 something guy, enjoying bachelorhood, living a carefree life, with "special" college girl pals ... you know the story. It's as if the story was meant for me!

And that movie, Jumper ... after the movie, I was literally focusing on places in magazines and books, hoping that I will be transported there in a split second. Sort of like beam me up Scotty. I just hope that someday, I could actually do something straight out of the movies. Call me a dreamer, but hey, these are the things that keep me hopeful for a better life. You should try being a movie hypochondriac sometime. It's fun!
