I was raised being read with fairy tales by my aunties and uncles. My favorite was the story of Cinderella and I never thought that her story will also be mine. Yes. Less the three step sisters of course. I have a brother though but I love him now. Hehe. Through these books I appreciated reading. That's why at six, I was a fast reader already.
I remember what my Kuya Paolo (cousin) told me when I was in Grade 6. Children shouldn't be exposed to these stories because they will have false hopes. As what he was trying to say.. there's no prince charming or true love or happy ending. Children should be given a dose of reality!
I realized that somehow my cousin was right. So after that, my dream of a fairy tale wedding/happy ever after faded away. But I never lost faith in true love. Yes. It's different. Too much to elaborate. Lol
Then, 2007, the movie Enchanted was released. It was the best fairy tale story ever since it touched the world of reality as well. It reignited my hopes that happy ever after do exists. And the theme song of course!
"I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss..."
HAHAHAHA. Very me. Lol :))))
Despite of my failed relationship, I still hang on to this theme song,.. on this movie. I still believe that true love will eventually find me. :)
Now that Once Upon a Time is airing! :D It's an American TV series that is much like the story of Enchanted where fairy tales and the real world meets. I also found out that my real character now is more of Snow White since she doesn't have any step sisters. Lol. And because the real personality of Snow White is revealed as being cocky and strong-willed. Not the usual prim and proper type of princess.
I am really hooked! I wish I could watch every episode! There are more to reveal with every fairy tale we know. Kids of all ages should definitely watch this! It's not your usual fairy tale. ♥
