The longest Saturday of my life
craving: Fixing my photos ="(
I never realized how much I hated long flights.. I mean, ive been on long flights before & yes, previously to New York.. but I guess this one was just dragging like forever..
Actually I wont blame it on the service or the plane – which was the best out of all the times ive been on Etihad (these guys are improving big time).. but I will blame it on my choice of movies..
I had 14 hours and 25 minutes to kill.. Yes you heard me.. that’s how long it takes to get to the Big Apple from Abu Dhabi.. & I watched 3 depressing movies.. not one or two.. but THREE depressing movies.. & I didn’t realize that until half way the movie & decide to watch it till the end hoping it would pick up and become exciting..
They were all movies inspired from real life incidents.. the harsh reality of various things like single parenthood, mentally challenged children, family & their problems, love aches, marriage problems, financial struggles & all their baggage.. They weren’t all that bad.. but to watch them consecutively, in a dark plane, while everyone is sleeping is not recommended at all..
Anyway, if anyone wants to taste a depressing sip of life, the movies are:
- Edge of Love, starring Keira Knightley
- Phoebe in Wonderland, starring Felicity Huffman
- Sunshine Cleaning, with rising actresses Amy Adams & Emily Blunt
And no, trying to fix it by watching several episodes of comedy shows of Friends, My Name is Earl, Big Bang & all.. will not cure the bitter mood
All in all, in total it took 33 hours to get to the final destination: CHICAGO.. yes THIRTY THREE hours *scream*
Lets just hope the States is worth it & will offer me a cup of happiness in return lol
Is this a Chinese version of “Ugly Betty”? lol
Playing Tetris to kill time..
Hi there,

oh my thats harsh!! hope youre flight back is filled with slightly less depressing movies!!
I know exactly what ur talking about…
In february they i was on a BA flight to UK from Kuwait, and it was all quiet and movie time…
So i decide to make the hugest mistake of my life and watch the movie “the boy in the striped pyjamas”
I dont know if u have seen it, but it was about the holocost, lets just say by the time the movie reached it’s climax it was so so SO horrible i covered my ears o started screaming o crying min il khar3a… 6b3an in a quiet airplane where people had the sense to watch funny movies or had better control of their emotions y3ni…
Thankfully my yelp of horror lasted a few seconds but my crying went on for a while… zain ma ga6one min il 6yara!!!
