Serendipity & Love in the time of Cholera




Holiday season is a time to be with the whole family celebrating Jesus Christ’s birthday, a time of gift giving to all your love ones and friends and for me, it’s also a longer time off from work. I do set my mind to use extra time to relax for I know there will be lots and lots of work when the year ends.

After the Christmas celebration, seeing my seldom seen relatives, updating each other and taking pictures, I decided to watch again one of my favorite romantic comedy films, which is SERENDIPITY. I just love this 2001 movie since the first time I saw it. A story about love that revolves around fate, destiny, of meant to be and chance. I did watch this movie several times but amazingly, this time, I recognized for the first time the featured book, “ Love in the time of Cholera”. It’s about a heart’s eternal vow to love. I saw the movie version of the book just this year, and found out that the book was first published in Spanish sometime in 1985 and translated in English in 1988. I’m so thankful for the extra time to do the things I love and for the time to relax.
