Watching A Movie: Notting Hill

It was Sunday, but I did not go to Sunday Mass because I woke up after it had already ended. I went to a movie theater and watched the old movie Notting Hill. I knew the title, but I had never watched it before. It was a rather ridiculous romantic story, but I understood why Julia Roberts was considered so beautiful at that time. A marathon event was held in the town. The roads were blocked with metal barricades, and people were running through the streets. There were a lot of paper cups scattered across the road. I went to the bar Vlaar. While I was drinking my first beer, the bartender Roserly gave me another glass of draft beer for free. It made me happy. I cooked the leftover salmon belly with instant jasmine rice for dinner. I had only a few drinks that day, so I felt almost sober. I could not fall asleep for a long time. I just lay in bed with my eyes closed for more than two hours.

Watching A Movie: Notting Hill It was Sunday but I did not go to Sunday mass because when I was waking up, the mass had already finished. I went a movie theater and watched an old movie, Notting Hill. I knew the title but I have never watched it. It was kind of redicurous romatic story but I understand how Judia Roberts is beatiful that time. In the village, a marathon event was held. Road was restricted with metal barricade and people were running. There were lot of paper cup spreaded on the road. I went to the bar Vlaar. When I was drinking the first beer, Roserly gave me another glass of tap beer for free. It made me happy. I cooked leftover salmon berry with instant jasmine rice for dinner. I had few drinks this day so I felt as the same as sober. I could not sleep in for a long time. I just closed eye for over two hours or more in the bed.
