You are a super woman! Reach for the skies and hold on to those stars meant for you.

What a movie!!! I’m so in love right now not to mention totally inspired. Keanu Reeves is such a babe and of course Sandra Bullock looks good with the do-rag she got on. Moral of the movie, “time tests your patience for love.” Imagine a guy in a different timeline as you waits to meet you after 4 years of letter writing and occasional conversations that most certainly will get you gushing all over. I most certainly for one cannot bear the fact that I would fall for someone and wait for years to meet him.

 

I mean yeah, if I was ever going to meet my soul mate through the internet or wherever and made me realize, “shit this a guy is my soul mate” I wouldn’t waste my time waiting for him and exchanging feelings through writing letters, not to mention waiting and smiling crazy because you met him already but you can’t be with him. Oh my God!! What am I saying? Can a person fall in love with someone over the internet? Can a person or couple feel that connection right away?

 

It was possible in the movie, The Lakehouse, but can it be possible in real life? Does time persist with the destiny of two people to meet? Does destiny has its way of making you realize that the one person that can make you happy is at the end of the other line? Can love accommodate the fact that you’re meeting your soul mate in a chat room or forum?  

Serendipity, Il Mare, The Classic, Windstruck, The Lakehouse, Moments of Love; these are a few of those movies that has us living in the fantasy world of time and destiny is just around the corner or that it also happens in real life if you believe.

 

Destiny, is it real in our world of moving cars and fast track on technology? One day it’s a laptop the next it’s a portable speaking device, one day it’s the convertible the next it’s one of those flying cars on “Jetsons”. Do soul mates exist? How do we know that the person we are with now is definitely the one God has planned for us? What if our soul mate was the janitor at our school or one of the beggars we pass by everyday in the streets? What if they were one of those we treated badly in high school or the loser in class? What if they were one of the jocks or the hotties that we admired a lot and fantasized about most of the time? What if he was the guy we fantasized about in our dreams right before we go to sleep or the knight and shining armor that would sweep us across our feet and take you away from your world of troubles and problems?

 

There are a lot of “what ifs” but are they real? With the reality of the fact that we have to live day by day knowing we have to put food in the table, studying every night for a better future, learning proper discipline, basically being a robot trapped in the reality of LIFE and ECONOMY. Living in the world of dreams and fantasies don’t collide together with the reality we are facing now. It maybe a dream and an impossibility to others, laughing at the fact that stuff like that, “only happen in movies.”

 

What if destiny gave you the chance to meet the love of your life? Would you give up everything you ever worked for and achieved so far just to be with him or her? Would you let the judgment of others affect your decision? Would you let them stand in the way of being with the person you love? Torn between your friends, family and the “LOVE” of your life, what would you do? Pretty hard huh?! Reality and destiny cannot cross paths, why you may ask, I have come to realize in our busy and fast pacing generation, we basically do not have time to sit back, realize and sip in the wonders that time has given us. Deny if you must but deep down in that gut of yours, I know for a fact that I asked myself once, “Hey why am I doing this? Why do I feel there is something missing in my life? Why am I doing whatever I’m doing to please others? Why is it I look down on others when for a fact I look down on myself too?” then I realized, this is reality. The fact that in our generation education is an importance, business is a war, money talks, people bitch about each other, poverty is real and people die. “Live your life to the fullest they say” but what about reality? The reality of surviving, and I mean survival of the fittest, whether it’s about budgeting or surviving against taunts, basically surviving against people and circumstances that bring you down.

 

Love is a game, it can be the greatest feeling of all, one that completes you and it can also be the worst “blow” that you have ever experienced. To be in love is the most wonderful feeling of all, but why does it have to be the most painful and pitiful sight that dons a person when distraught or heartbroken?

 

One thing that got me smitten by the movie was the fact that two couples waited for destiny to bring them together. They “waited” because they had “patience,” that is something most of us lack including me. Come to think of it, what if your “soul mate” if ever it was true, was in a relationship with another? But you both share that mutual feeling and have that connection? Are you willing to wait for love to take its course or would you rather fast-forward time and hurt another to be together?

 

Do you guys think that instances such as those happen in real life? You know the one of those instances that destiny takes it course and does crazy things to people. Just like in “The Lakehouse” do you think things like those happen in real life? With billions of people around you it gets you thinking, what if the impossible is about to happen to us? How would you handle it with all the responsibilities you have tagged on you? What would you do?

 

The twist and flow of the story just makes you want to go, "awwwwww...wish that happends to me"
