Presenting…
OUR BABIES! These are stuffed animals we (me and my 2 sisters) have kept since we were babies…I seriously did not realized that we have THIS MANY of them. We even have names for each and every one of them. I send this pic to my youngest sister…and she say…”yea…AND I STILL REMEMBER THEIR NAMES!”
Lovely pic…=) I’ll make sure all of these are passed down to my kids…well, that is, if I have one.
My colleague was watching and checking through the subtitles for some of the videos extracted out from the movie Fugitive that I have used when I’m doing this training on problem solving at work. She then IM me, and say…
“Eh, why is it that Harrison Ford is like some sort of a superman and just cannot die when he jumps into that waterfall?”.
My instant reply was…
“Well, look at Rambo and MacGyver. I think they are more amazing for still looking good after a fight. Especially MacGyver”.
Yes, MacGyver. Have you watched one of those series? I know I use to be one of his biggest fan. I sorta thought he’s cute back then. No joke. Anyway, I realized how when you watched the movies from the 80s or early 90s, they have lovely hair and pretty clean face even after a fight. Or…they just cannot seem to die. It becomes a little unrealistic, don’t you think?
But I see that there’s a progression in terms of being realistic in the movie making business in this 21st century. At least some of them don’t look all nice and pretty anymore. Hillary Swank didn’t look all nice and pretty after being hit in the movie Million Dollar Baby. Ermmm…Chris Evans looked pretty bad after being shot in his recent movie Street Kings.
But then again…Orlando Bloom still looks pretty need as Legolas in the LOTR trilogy – even after battle. Maybe it’s coz he’s an elf. Or maybe it’s just that he’s too cute to get dirty. Oh well…
“If you have love, you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have love, it doesn’t matter much what else you have.”
-Sir James M. Barrie
I was browsing through love quotes a couple of minutes ago. I was bored and sick of doing my assignment (what have I got myself into!). Anyway, I came across this quote. I think it’s somewhat true.
When I reflect back, I realized that all these while, I’ve always wanted things for me. It doesn’t really mattered who I was with coz what matters is me – is my career path going in the right direction, should I go back to school, etc. I guess I never did found a person that meant the world to me.
This quote doesn’t imply that you don’t need to care about money, or your job or anything that is a requirement to have a healthy living. But this quote is just reinstating the importance of love. You can have the money in the world but how sad would it be if you were to live your life, knowing that no one loves you. I think in my previous post, I did mentioned that you haven’t really live until you have learned to love (depicted from Tuesdays with Morrie).
Everyone needs love at some point in life. We might have failed in certain relationships at some point in life, but love picks up again. And alongside these failures, you learn to love better and perception changes. Maybe I think this way coz love is important to me. I cannot imagine a life without love. It has to come at some point in life…it’s just a matter when it comes.
Some might not believe in true love. I previously don’t. But I do now. Somehow…I do now. Life is short. Time is ticking. So what are you waiting for? All you have is this life to live it to the fullest.
I left my laptop turned on yesterday and when I woke up this morning, I was surprised to see a friend of mine IM me at 2.40am. It was long…way long. I had to read it twice to sort of buy in to what he’s saying. Despite the long IM, there’s really just one message to it – he fell in love.
He had has his share of ups and downs in relationship and as a friend, all you really hope for is to have him love again. I was shocked, coz the last time when I spoke to him, he didn’t seem all that fired up. He was just the usual him – all cool and everything. But yesterday…reading his IM, I can tell he’s just another man who has fallen in love with a lovely woman I’m sure.
Can it be this simple? Is it all about falling in love? =) Well, I believe things can be simple. But it would require work to be done. Falling in love is just the first step. Wanting to love a person for the longest time is the heartbeat of a relationship. Like I’ve always said, if you truly love a person and if u want to be loving this person, everything is really easy. There’s no force to it…there’s no feeling of obligation. Even saying “I love you” and really meaning it is as simple as breathing. (Do you know that some ppl just don’t dare or cannot say “I Love You”?)
I always think that love is a beautiful thing. When you love someone so much, you are running a risk of being hurt…but at the same time, if you are loved back, I can assure you that it can be one of the happiest feeling you would ever feel. Things are always meant to be simple – even if it comes to love. Things can also be kept simple, only if you want to. Never forget to love, coz you have never live your life if you have never loved someone.
For team building this quarter, we decided to go for a game of paintball. It’s really my first time doing this, hence I don’t typically know what to expect. I do know for a fact that getting shoot isn’t all that nice coz it hurts – at least those who have played before informed me about this situation.
All in all, it was pretty good. Get those adrenaline pumping. Well, we being all first time players, most of us were shooting aimlessly; which explains unexpected hits by paintballs from all direction – it’s as though it’s raining paintball or something.
Among the 14 of us who went, I’m by far the worst. Can’t aim all that well…and being hit the most times. Impressive.
Well, I would say it’s a really nice experience. Would I do it again despite the bruises? Hell YEA! Though…I must say…I would need to rest a little now…
Yay! My new website is up and ready! All thanks to you-know-who-you-are-Mr-walking-XHTML-smarty-pants. Thanks a bunch. (for those who are interested, pls refer to the previous post for the link to his web)
Well, I’m trying to make this blog a little more informative…and I was thinking of adding new pages to it. Perhaps book reviews…music reviews maybe…travel tips? Maybe you guys can help. What do you think would be good to add to this blog? Hmmmmm…
I’ve gotten myself a tumblr…hehehe…it’s like this blog mainly for sharing. Hence, I’m using it now…to share…
check it out! ^^
I’m definitely still gonna be blogging here though…in this new website… ^^
Sometimes…when things are not exactly right, you just want to be alone for awhile…sorta like hiding…but not really hiding…just be away from ppl who knows you…sit in a place alone with a bunch of ppl who don’t know you… and you not knowing them and just feel that…vibe of being small and alone in this world.
I never thought I can eat lunch alone…but sometimes you just don’t feel like talking to anyone…except maybe hoping to talk to this person whom you’ll never reject talking to…
Maybe it’s the monday blues that’s making me this way…hmmm
