Thanks to my aunt, I got free movie passes for a movie of my choice. Unfortunately, they'll expire by tomorrow so I had to use them either today or tomorrow. I have two so I decided to use one of them earlier today.

So as I arrived in the theaters, I checked out which one I'd watch. I had limited choices though since the movie pass couldn't be used for movies with reserved seating which narrowed down my choices. I ended up watching One Day which is one of the two choices I wanted. I could have watched Crazy Stupid Love but the screening time was still later in the afternoon and I wanted to go back home early so I could rest and I know there will be traffic at night due to the majority of people going back to the city to officially end the long weekend.

I like the both lead actors, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. However, I feel like there is something lacking in the movie. The movie was based on a novel which I haven't read so I don't know how the story went according to the book, but in the movie, it was a little hard to relate to the characters and the transition to another scene was not handled well. The movie showed what was happening to the two main characters at a specific date every year, thus, the many development changes. Some were not so believable though and it almost got to a point where it was dragging and pretty boring. I've read that the movie stayed faithful to the book and tried to put everything in the movie but that is probably one of the reasons that it did not turn out the way it should have been. But the movie is still good and I can't say it's a bad romantic film.

I'm currently facing a dilemma right now. Certain developments has made me wonder if I should resign from work. It seems like I am not improving, especially in my standards. I don't feel satisfied with the work output I am giving and I have no motivation to work anymore. I simply look forward to getting out of the office everyday. Not that I have high expectations but I don't see the point in working if I can't work up to my maximum capabilities. The company has its own internal problems that won't help me grow in the long run and though it would look good on my resume if I stated that I helped the company improve, that wouldn't happen anytime soon and I am looking at the prospect of getting out while I still can. The only problem I am concerned about is the life after. I'll most likely be back to being an unproductive bum like I was in the first half of the year. Though I miss that lifestyle, I am not sure if going back to that state will be good as it is never good to be doing nothing. Hopefully, God will give me a sign of what to do.
