HIFF: Pacific Mother

155

I went to the Kahala Mall theaters to support my friend.  Judy-chan was acting in an amazing documentary called Pacific Mother.  I had no idea what it was about so I just went to check it out.  

As soon as I reclined my seat and got comfortable, a girl from Australia who sat next to me recognized me from my blog.  I asked her why she came to see the film and she said because she wanted to learn more about midwifes.  I had no idea what she was talking about but then I kind of knew what the movie was going to be about.  After I thought about it, it must have been creepy for a guy like me going by himself to a film about midwifes?  Think about that.  Haha.  

Gosh, I sure learned a lot.  First, Judy-chan is amazing!  Second, now I know what a midwife is.  And last, now I know what a newborn baby looks like coming out of the mother underwater.  I have a new respect for all you Mothers out there.  You girls are strong!  

When I first walked into the event, a girl that looked like a supermodel walked right up me.  I didn’t recognize her at all.  After a few seconds, I realized it was Judy-chan.  I’ve known Judy-chan for years but never seen her with makeup before.  Haha.  So we take a photo and I send it to Kimura-san.  His reply was “who is that???”  Haha.  By the way, I know her simply as Judy-chan.  Sweet, humble, and beautiful inside and out.  She’s an actress that goes by the name Sachiko Fukumoto.  Now I have a different kind of respect for her after seeing her give birth to her 2 beautiful children.  Good job girl!
