bugged by the flu virus...so sick of being sick...
*cough* *cough*
Has been fighting the flu virus for the past 2 days... and the medications given by the doctor really helped me cope with my flu... except for the fact that they made me drowsy most of the time... I feel like a zombie, spending most of my time @ home just sleeping.... For now, the headaches, muscular aches, fever, sneezing and coughing have greatly subsided... I have more energy to do other things like surfing the net and reading books other than sleeping....
Feeling much better now, except for the fact that I missed my second day of orientation, which was supposed to be yesterday... boo hoo!! I was really looking forward to hang out with a few new friends I made during my orientation... We actually won first in the Hunt! section (sort of like Amazing Race) of the orientation....
It took us just 5 minutes to get to know each other... and we really bonded effortlessly... The first day of orientation was on last Friday... too bad I'll have to go back to the lab tomorrow... hope to be learning something new....
Watched 2 shows last week... My colleagues and I ( Salsa, Ain, Caeden, Yazid and me )caught a movie show last Friday night after work... it was called,'Drag Me To Hell'...by Sam Raimi... it was supposed to be a horror movie but it was too disappointing for me to bother wasting my time writing a review for this movie.... let's just say it's very ridiculous.. and reminds me of the 'Tom & Jerry' show for kids.... haha
The only part I loved about the show is when the girl's boyfriend stood by her despite not understanding the difficulties she's going through... yet when everyone turned their backs on her, he's the only one more than willing to hold her hand through the whole difficult journey.... so sweet... I've been there, done that... so I can really feel for the female character in the movie... and her bf reminds me of what my own bf had done for me for the past 5 years of our relationship... I feel so blessed!!
But we had a great deal of time having dinner at Banquet and slacking around for awhile before heading home....
Another show I caught was with my hubby in the weekend... a DVD date....plugging our ears with headphones and watching the movie via my lappy.... the movie was called, 'The Lakehouse', featuring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock....
It was a very nice, romantic movie for couples to cuddle up and enjoy together with a steaming cup of coffee.... It was veryyyy touching, added with a cunning twist at the end of the show... something we didn't expect.... had a nice discussion regarding the show and the values it contained after the show...
The show is regarding a couple who fell in love despite not having met each other before and being 2 years apart from each other...Kate (played by Sandra Bullock), a lonely doctor was living her life 2 years beyond that of the lonely architect, Alex (played by Keanu Reeves)....they only communicate via letters through the magical mailbox at the lakehouse, which can link the 2 worlds despite the different timelines....
Despite the impossibilities they faced in their relationship, they didn't give up trying to meet up with each other...( read : especially the determination showed by Alex, who never sways in his faith and determination to meet the girl of his dreams) and they truly deserve what they got at the end of the show, after being so patient and persistent for so many years....
rating = 5/5 stars
