How have you been? I'm good and have recovered from shingles and exams fever! :D
(Shingles is the resurface of chickenpox virus in people who have chickenpox before. Suggested reasons for this resurfacing: Stress, illness(weak immune system) and/or aging. I hope mine was due to (exam)stress and weak immune system! >.< )
I couldn't stay home upon my recovery. And I managed to catch Ironman2 and Sex and the City 2 this week! ^-^
Yeah, two very different genre of movies. I was actually quite reluctant about watching SC2. The reviews that I read from newspapers and 8days magazine made it sound like a bimbo movie about women, clothes, branded goods, shopping and sex. But it wasn't like that at all! Its about how women are like these days, as compared to the old times.(All in American context but I think some apply to Asian women too. At least in this modern city of ours.)
The movie showed how the role of being a woman has changed over the centuries. (Reminds me of the literature text I did in jc: Top Girls.) Women used to be homemakers, wives, mothers, sisters and the weaker gender (in terms of finance, we can't say about physical strength because it varies across countries). But now, women have to be a wife and mother (if she has kids), they need to work too. Women want to be independent financially. They are sick of just waiting for men to bring the bread home. They are no longer seeing themselves as just wives and/or mothers. They see themselves as individuals who are able to generate paychecks and buy what they want/need.
Wee~ I am glad that women are able to achieve so much now and stand up for themselves.
I am proud to be a woman. (:
P.S. Have you starting shopping? YOU SHOULD. GSS has begun! I bought a new dress today~ ^-^
