Another movie marathon

My last two days was spent in front of the television watching and in front of the computer surfing. Kahit pagkain ko, nakaharap pa rin ako sa tv. I dont know how many times I have watched LOTR and Star Wars, di pa rin ako nagsasawa. Minsan kabisado ko na pati lines nila, how pathetic. Instead of me getting over with some things in my life, I drowned myself with watching, sleeping, surfing and eating. How productive..

Naisip ko lang. Dun sa LOTR, ang daming mapupulot na lessons talaga. It talks about very good friendship, which is the Fellowship of the Ring. They never intended to leave each other. Look at Sam, Frodo would have never gone farther without him. Look at Merry and Pippin; at Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn. They stayed together through thick and thin and continue to journey fighting the war until its very end. How thoughtful..


Also, in the film, there is always that undying hope, believing that there will always be a better tomorrow, that everything will turn out okay. Kahit ilang libong Orcs pa yung nasa harap nila, they fought for their loved ones. Dahil kung susuko sila, mamatay din sila. Mabuti na ang mamatay nang lumalaban kaysa ang mamatay nang wala ka man lang ginawa. Aragorn is so brave, also the men who fought with him, how heroic..

Ang dami ko pang naiisip pero isa sa mga pinakagusto kong isipin ay yung sinabi ni Gandalf kay Frodo na, "It is up to us what to do with the time that has been given to us." As far as I can remember, the scene was about Frodo asking Gandalf why it's his destiny to be the ring bearer. Gandalf answered that no one chooses his destiny, that we just have to make the time given to us worth living for, that everyone has a purpose.

Buti pa si Frodo, he knew his purpose, that is, to destroy the "precious". No matter what comes in his way, that single purpose must be fulfilled. Kahit gaano kahirap, gaano kabigat yung pagdadala nya nung "singsing" na yun. Naaalala ko tuloy yung kapatid ko, sabi nya bakla daw si Frodo kasi yung puting bato talaga ni Darna yung hinahanap nya. Kidding aside, iniisip ko ano kaya yung "purpose" ko. How pathetic..
