Remember that 1996 Tom Cruise-Renée Zellweger swoon movie: Jerry Maguire?
Who wouldn’t forget the famous lines “you complete me” and “you had me at hello”?
I was on my second job in 1996 and was on crazy hour shifts. Probably the reason why I didn’t see that movie in a theater house. I’m sure I would have seen it, that was the time when I was young, hopelessly romantic and would have seen any popular movie that comes along. He he.
(I am not really a Tom Cruise fan, but I think I’ve seen most of his movies!)
Maybe a year after its showing , I saw it I think on HBO or some other channel- i can’t really remember.
But anyway…fast forward to today, the movie is being replayed the past week (or maybe the last month) on Star Movies. Now, I’ve realized that there are more profound lines in the movie I didn’t notice when I was younger. Yeah far more profound than those two kilig one liners. 
Single mothers don’t date.
They’ve been to the circus.
They’ve been to the puppet show and seen the strings.
Single mother is like a sacred thing.
I had this great guy who loves my kid a lot.
Who sure likes me a lot.
But I can’t live like that.
I’m not built that way.
The movie wasn’t as kilig as would be expected then and is surely isn’t now. But there is that underlying deepness that I guess just some people can relate to.
