Yesterday, after some "I will watch," "I will not watch," conversation with myself, I finally gave in and watched The King and I with daughter at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre. Actually, daughter already watched it last year with her cousins. But since we were really meant to go to RWM because daughter wanted to attend the
2013 TOYCON Launch, so why not. And another thing (the best part), the tickets are free--- a special treat from Momsie. Thank you, Momsie !!!

So, here's the kwento:
Years ago when I am still a kid (still a kid-at-heart, though), my father used to work for one of the top companies that manages cinemas in Manila. So I get to watch a lot of movies, free movies. Also, we have a movie projector and I remember watching The King and I here at home. Hmmm ... I'm not sure if we ate popcorn. But anyways, it is a favorite family film. And between Sound of Music, and this, I prefer The King and I. And I love Yul Brynner.
