'Love Affair'

I was hopping from a channel to another, without any intention to watch any particular program. Then i left the living room. Another minute when I got back, I sat on the couch and followed the channel my sister had picked. Old movie, I figured out. I like the girl on the movie, her perfect arms and the way she dressed. The setting was in a house, surrounded by valleys. I was starting to enjoy the plot, when suddenly the old lady in the movie played a piano piece... a piece which is very familiar to my ears... it's Love Affair! I cried! ... and continued to awww and ohhhhh here and there :)

For so long have I been longing to watch this movie. I've searched the DVD copy like everywhere (well, I recognized I could find it on amazon.com, but still, I was too stingy to purchase it online and pay for the expensive delivery fee) but found it nowhere. And then... unexpectedly... i got a chance to watch it, although it was not complete from the beginning, but I believe I've captured the best part of it :)

It was so touching that I could stop the tears running down my face at the end of the scene. When I was craving for sushi, for instance, I could run into a sushi place and grab as much as I want. But sometimes things are not granted instantly. It takes a while, even too long that we have forgotten that we ever wish for it. This time i'm not playing cool, saying out loud 'Oh who needs that old movie, anyway?'. Instead, I totally forgot that I wanted to watch this movie badly. I just moved on, trying to be thankful to what life has given to me. But life is fair. And I was given a chance to see the charming Love Affair :)
