Gratitude Day 78 - Chick Flicks

Dear Friends,

Chick Flicks - “romanticaholics” quick fix, especially on a cold, snowy February weekend - are often equated with superficiality! 

I personally count them as blessings! I rather be transported to the “fantasy land” where aesthetic people wear fashionable clothes and live in beautiful homes and neighbourhoods, chasing equally aesthetic prospects. For the ugly naked truth, I can always turn to the six o'clock News or the mirrored doors of my own closet! 
However, this weekend I had to be considerate of a friend's "semi-intellectuality" and sit through a couple of her picks. Nonetheless, while swimming for almost 11hours in the shallow waters of frivolity, I caught some priceless lines:

You are the best thing that NEVER happened to me!

Every woman has the exact love life she wants!

Love means never having to say you are sorry! (Truth be told, I don’t quite understand this one! I'm constantly either apologising, or expecting an apology!)

What is about love that makes us so stupid?

Who can possibly resist Renee Zellweger’s teary confession to Tom Cruise, “… you had me at ‘Hello’…….”

"There are some things worth having, but they come at a price and I want to be one of them.” Now, there is a line I would like to use someday!  

Until then, I shall rejoice in my happier times. As Deborah Kerr said to Cary Grant in An Affair To Remember, “Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories." 

This winter, gratefully, I have enough provisions to keep me warm. 
For next winter, all I can say is - Allah is great! 

Have a fantastic day everyone!
