Being part of a techie generation, there are definitely a lot of gadgets that could keep us well entertained. With a lot of things going on online and how most of us are so hooked with different social networking sites, it will surely be hard to get bored. But you know what I prefer more entertaining? Movie time! Hanging out with friends for a movie date or curl up in a couch or bed, get some chips and watch a great film at the comfort of your own home. There are just a lot of good movies out there worth watching :)
If you will ask me this..
“What movie made you fall in love with watching movies?"
Here it is...
The Parent Trap.
A film released in 1998 about twin sisters Hallie and Annie who were separated from each other when their parents divorced. Hallie lives in California with her Dad who is into wine business while Annie moved to London with her mom who is now a famous designer.

| Annie |
The two accidentally met in a summer camp and noticed right away that they looked alike but then ignored it. They didn't get along very well at first, in fact they did mean tricks toward each other until they were punished and sent into an isolation cabin where they stayed together for a few days. That is where they discovered that they are actually long lost sisters.
The two came up with a decision of switching homes since both of them are dying to meet each others parent and would love to spend time with them. They did everything to look exactly the same and taught each other all they need to know before switching places.
And so when the camp ended, Hallie went home to London as Annie and meet her mom for the first time, while Annie went to California as Hallie and see her dad.
They also came up with a plan of convincing their parents to get back together again. Everything is going really well until they found at that their Dad is planning to marry a younger girl named Meredith, that's when they came up with a plan of setting up the meeting of their parents. Hallie confessed everything to her mom and flew to California. And so their parents met again after 11 years but it seems like both of them aren't planning to be together again until the twins joined their Dad and his girlfriend for a hike where they played tricks on Meredith making her so angry to the point that she asked him to choose between his daughters or her. Their Dad chose the twins and so she walked out of his life.
Why I chose this in particular?
Let me list down some reasons why I totally love it!
When Annie get out of that black limo, I admired how prim and proper she looked like. And when she started speaking... ugh! I want to speak like her.
(No wonder British accent is very appealing to me until now)
This is where I just witnessed the COOLEST hand shake ever! A bit complicated, though.
I never thought being mean sometimes would seem to be a lot of fun and exciting!
(Okay, this doesn't seem right.. I know)

| Annie lost in their Poker game so she jumped off the lake, naked. Hallie and her friends took away all her clothes. |
 |
| Annie's revenge: Their beds are on the roof. Deal with that Hallie! |
 |
| This is probably the grandest prank of all! Very well planned. |
 |
| Uh, oh. Total disaster for Annie and her roomies . |
I just proved that you really can't hide everything! See, these mean girls got busted!
( But I'd still say it seems a lot of fun!)

| Poor Madam. |
This movie made me feel like having a sister would be the coolest ever! So I wished, I had one.
The movie reminds me that being a kid doesn't mean you are incapacitated to fight those who were trying to put you off. If I am in their situation I would have done the same, that Cruella De Vil needs to learn her lesson and I need to save my father from her wicked intentions!

| This is very funny, yet gross! Haha |
You will always long for a happy and complete family. I cannot imagine myself being in the situation of the twins, being with one parent only and separated from siblings. It made me realize how blessed I am to be with my family.
Okay, this is definitely the part of the film that significantly influenced my life.
Seeing some shots here made me realize how beautiful the other parts of the world are. Right at that moment, I felt a strong desire to see the world.
And right then, I fell in love with watching movies because it's as if I am travelling already. I get to see places I've never seen before. You get a glimpse of the other wonders God has blessed us with.

And so The Parent Trap made me love watching films especially those with European settings.
Who would have thought that one particular movie could influence this great dream of mine, which is to travel around the world? And seeing those on screen made my desire grew even stronger. You know, I think somewhat it would be a help because it made me seem familiar with all those places I've been dying to visit someday. *Fingers crossed*
Btw, here are some of the other movies that are really eye candy! These will surely make you want to travel as well :)
And as I said, there are just a lot of good movies out there and for sure there are more to come!
