It’s all a Matter of Taste

My family went to see Die Hard 4 yesterday in Powerplant. Original plan was that Da, Ma and I would see Transformers for we’re the only ones who haven’t seen it while Chap and Nick with the driver would see Die Hard 4. But when we got at the Ticketbooth, all tickets for Transformers were sold out. I said, "God, sobrang okay talaga ng Transformers! Sayang." Darn. Seeing Die Hard wasn’t part of my plans, and I have no intention of seeing it next even if I were able to see Transformers. I am not a fan of bratatatattatataatatatt armalites, kabOooooom explosives and kablag Awhooosh death defying stunts but after the movie while having dinner at Banana Leaf I told my family that, I like the movie. I enjoyed it actually but Chap my eldest sis told me that it was nothing compared to Transformers.
Hence, my Dad and I didn’t allow ourselves not to see Transformers today at Gateway. And to my surprise, for some reason I like Die Hard 4 more than Transformers. Oh I mean, I like Die Hard 4 and not really Transformers. And my Dad surprisingly, didn’t like any of the two.
I guess my Dad and I are deviants. Everyone I know who has seen transformers loved it. My sister said hindi ako marunong pumili ng maganda when she heard I still like Die Hard 4 more than Transformers. Well, I never really enjoyed robots even during the old Voltes V days. My 2 older sisters were the ones singing along with the Voltes V theme song when we’re little as we wait for the Voltes V cartoons at Channel 13 (?) at nakikisabay lang akong manuod. Pati Transformers and G.I. Joe ayoko masyado noon e. Maybe I like Die Hard because I am a computer geek and technofreak mylsef (ata. pero hanggang tingin lang sa technogadgets dahil wala akong pera), and I have a plan learning the art of hacking in the future too.
Well, well… as Simon Cowell says ladies and gentlemen, "It’s all a matter of taste."
