I was watching The Voice 5 Marathon on AXN yesterday afternoon while I was working from home. These days have been so stressful that I need to have music (or any sound in the background, really) to prevent myself from thinking too many thoughts. I don't know if that makes sense. Do you ever encounter that?
Anyways...
I was watching the early blind audition episodes and one 16-year old contestant and her family caught my attention. It was just a typical interview and song number; she was quite good that she had a four-chair turn. She was still singing when the camera was panned back on her family. Focus on her kid brother - he was teary-eyed. Then he said, "she is wonderful." I swear that scene just made me cry! A LOT!
What the heck, right? I used to be a "toughy" when I was younger. Now I think motherhood has brought out the mush in me. I can cry as fast as Porsche's 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. It's amazing!
So what other things made me cry so much recently?
Bill Pullman's speech in Independence Day:
McDonald's latest Happy Meal commercial:
I am telling you, I do not see any pattern. It is crazy!
Do you have these moments too? Please leave me stories in the comment section. I would love to know that I am not the only person who has this. ;)

Hubby and I are always watching The Voice and I remember that scene, yes. It was a lovely scene, coming from a little kid. :-)
ReplyDeleteNaku, even before I became a mom, I'm such a cry-baby na kaya I have a lot to tell. Hahaha! But yeah, I guess mas naging iyakin ako ngayon. Hmm, let's see what made me cry recently. Ah, yeah, I cried watching the last part of Toy Story 3, the one where Andie was giving away his toys already. And I also cried at the scene in Rio (yep, the Disney cartoon) when Blu learned how to fly. I know, very random! So, sis, I feel you. You're not alone. ;-)
And oh, when I became a mom, I also get touched very easily whenever I see scenes or stories about babies. :-)
You are not alone, I'm one of this crying thing too...
ReplyDeleteI remember that Bill Pullman's speech in Independence Day movie, as in tindig balahibo and I cried too.. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one... I cry easily and more so now than when I was a selfish, thoughtless teenager. Maturing makes some of us more compassionate and appreciative of others. Love this post and off to see that McD commercial with Lola.
