What's a Better Way to Spend Money?

There's a funny story about how stupidity could lead you to something great.

That night (Sunday night, if I'm not mistaken) I was sitting in the Trans BSD bus, getting back to BSD from Jakarta. I was tired and sleepy so I fell asleep like most of the passengers. Suddenly, when I woke up, we were already in BSD.

I moved to the front seat, getting ready to step off when it's near my house. I saw two men already asked the driver to stop at where I'm supposed to step off too. But in a half-slept mind I was so confused that I just freezed and the bus kept going.

I was panic and I didn't know what to do. So I just asked the drive to drop me at the next stop, Teras Kota mall.

Teras Kota is quiet close to my home. I could just take a taxi, ojek, or angkot. But I didn't. My feet brought me inside the Teras Kota, to the escalator, up to the 2nd floor to Blitz Megaplex.

People who know me well, would know that I often go to cinema alone. Well, I'm a full-time movie lover and I always get used to be alone, so when I really want to watch a movie, I feel that I don't need to wait for a companionship. I would just go and watch by myself.

That night, I wanted to watch something that other people may not really interested in. So, I choose Midnight in Paris. Simple reasons:

1. Woody Allen (although You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger is his only movie I ever watched)

2. I love Marion Cotillard in Inception

3. It's nominated for Oscar's Best Picture

Put this as my laptop's wallpaper for quite a while

Even though it was weekend night, there were only like 6 people in the auditorium: Oscar-type.

The movie was beautiful. I kept smiling during the screening. I like the unique plot, I like the actors (Cotillard with her original beautym sexy voice). Mostly, I love that Midnight in Paris is a movie about writers, written by a true writer. No doubt that Allen won again for Best Original Screenplay.

Stupidity could lead to something great. See? If I weren't stupid enough to let the bus pass through my home, I would never probably watch Midnight in Paris. This is not overstating, because this movie is definitely, straightly becoming one of my favorite movie.

And by the way, this month I really broke. On February I spent lots of my money to watch movies. But hey, again, like the title of this post, What's a Better Way to Spend Money ?
