Da Vinci Code

After watching and reflecting about this movie, i can say it did not moved me at all. It was to me like just another crime fighting mystery movie. Nice to see glorious architectures like the Rosslyn Chapel and Paris' Louvre Museum. Did it changed my faith? I didn't think so. I can somehow relate to Robert Langdon's experience when he was a boy, fell in a well and struggled for help till morning. Here it goes: When i was abt. 18yrs old i fell for this girl named 'Baet.' Her group of friends one day organized a swimming outing in 'Wawa Dam' in Montalban and i was invited to come along. My parents then didn't like the girl that much, i knew they won't allow me to go so i did without permission. Wawa dam is a river at a foot of a group of mountains. The river as the locals knew is haunted. Unknown to me, the river is known for having claimed so many lives of mostly strangers (according to the locals there). When we arrived i was too eager to show off my swimming skills so i was one of the first who tried the water. I swam from one side of the river to the other side, as i reach the other end, grabbed the rocky wall but somehow was slippery. I panicked and for about a minute i struggled to get a good grasp but was helpless. I was praying o my God pls. help me. I nearly drowned and thought that could be the end of me. Lucky, one of Baet's uncles saw me from the other end and quickly swam towards me for the rescue, am so ever thankful i'm still alive today. While changing i realized i had pinned a 'Mother Mary medallion' onto my swimming shorts. That medallion was part of the prize i won from an art competition (theme was "Mary and her role in Edsa Revolution) in Marist high school. Marist School by the way is run by Marist Brothers, a catholic congregation. I was told by Brother Flores during the awarding that the medallion was blessed by Pope John Paul II when he last visited Manila. Could that medallion did save my life? Somehow i lost that medallion, and all along I knew, that it was faith that saved me.
(as i just refreshed my memory, above was edited. The medallion prize was won from an art competition and not from an essay writing contest).
