rain after the drought

For that one hour, I was living in a different world...

I happened to tune in to HBO after dinner, and it was playing the Cinderella story starring Hilary Duff. Yes, I did think it was such a teeny-boopy show, but I continued watching anyway. Surprisingly it turned out to be quite well-written. It kept true to the original script but with modern elements added to it, making it both refreshingly humourous yet touching at the same time. Gosh, towards the end when the "prince" tore away from his all-important football match just to run after his "princess", my heart twinged in sweet pain and I simply teared. Sigh.

Maybe it's not the story... Maybe it's me.
