My Red Tail

I've always been intrigued about this movie. Someone told me, it's about a life of a family with a dog named Marley. I've always loved dogs since my childhood days and I can say that dogs have a place in my heart. I tried watching this movie twice but being tired from work made me stop from doing so. I always end up snoring, and waking up in the morning with my laptop on and finding out that the movie is over. So, finally, on my way home to the Philippines, I had time to watch it from beginning to the end. I didn't had a second thought about which film I will watch in the airplane.

I remember Tasha, my Siberian husky at home. She is as naughty as Marley. She chews everything she sees. And everytime we get back home, we always see the mess she's done. It even came to the point that my mom wanted her out of our lives. Imagine the fear I had back then. I told my mom that I'm not going to go back home from Qatar if I find out that she has sent Tasha away. I told her I'm going to be real bad at her if she did that thing to my dog.

When Marley got sick, I knew what's going to happen next but then, I was not expecting that he will die that way. I wish it wasn't like that. I end up crying and I felt bad because they killed him and did not let nature ended his life. I know that they didn't want him to suffer more so they just had to use mercy killing to make it easy for everyone. But that's so bad idea for me.

Until now, I get teary eyes about Marley's fate. He was living his life as normal as he could, he wanted to be loved and accepted for who he was. And then he just died like that. Poor dog. Waaaahhhhh!!! I hope my Tasha won't have the same destiny as him.

If you have seen the movie A Walk to Remember with Mandy Moore and Shane West, I'm sure you can relate to this. I'm such a fan of this film and I've seen it a lot of times and cried with it over and over.

So what is the story about?

Landon (Shane West) is popular guy in school, one of the hottest for sure. He's into fun all the time, living the life of a typical student. Jamie (Mandy Moore) is the conservative/naive type of person who always gets good marks in class, serious in everything she does, a very loving daughter, obedient, simple-looking, and her faith makes her beautiful inside. Well, they had to work together in their drama class, Jamie helping him with his lines. Landon's friends including him, make fun of her at her back. Later, the two fell accidentally in love with each other... Landon chose her between his friends, then later on, finds out, Jamie is sick and dying. Now, he tries to save her and be part of her forever.

Well, Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) wrote a list of the things she want to do before she dies... I made a list for myself too. Life is short, before we know it, we're almost dying. I think it would be nice to start doing the things we want to do before we pass away. It's better to be prepared than regretting things we haven't done in the end. One of my 100 things to do before i die is to be able to share my thoughts to people around the world. Isn't this "blogging" thing good enough for me? Hey, I've been sharing my mind to people out there! How about you? What are the things you want to do before you die? Let me know, let's go through this journey together.
