Sex and THE City

I owe you a lot of stories. Of my trip to San Francisco, people I know from here in the Philippines who shouted at me from the car at Fisherman's Wharf (I never knew I was that popular, hahaha), crabbing in Maryland, wine tasting in Sonoma Valley, being a "tour guide" in Manhattan, and so much more. But I guess the story worth blogging is about Sex and the City.

The movie was shown while we were in Maryland. I told my cousins that we had to watch it in the US no matter what. I read from a friend's blog that the movie was shown with lots of cuts here in the Philippines. Sanitation to the max! We were supposed to watch it in Maryland, but I dared not remind them about it when shopping was their preoccupation at that time. I thought, "Hey, where best to watch Sex and the City but in THE city.

On our way to look for Serendipity cafe, the food place made famous by the movie Serendipity, we saw a movie theater along 3rd Avenue corner 60th Street. Lo and behold, SATC was being shown. Before proceeding to Serendipity, we purchased our tickets so as to ensure our plan to watch the movie in THE city worked out.

And so we watched, pumping scenes, breast exposures and all! It was a treat for all of us, knowing we wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much if we watched it in Manila. Somehow, being in Manhattan watching a Manhattan-set movie gave a feeling of nostalgia. And the nice thing about watching it there? Looking for the places where they shot some scenes, such as Central Park, 5th Avenue, etc.

Another good thing that the movie brought me? Inspiration, courtesy of Samantha Jones and her ideology on marriage! (Joke!)
