| if theres a dream, i've chased.i think i'v saw everything, if not all. if there's a wish ,that iv yearn for, this is a living dream.its alright if i could just only live for today, for october, and then i know i can keep part of october and move on, the very least, at least. but i think its not too much to ask, if i wanted to keep this to the very last, my end. i think this is real. im starting to disbelieve. what is left to be witnessed, is unveiled, is sacred, is for me to find out. i finally think jen's prophecy is all that i need to smile upon. for october, iv got you forever=) | | |
| i watched this movie entitled 'peaceful warrior' a few days back. to say it was two thumbs up, no it wasnt, but an applause, yes it does. the plot is about a chance encounter with a stranger that changes the life of a gymnast. Dan is a freshman, he's a perfectionist in the making, girls go crazy over him, he got his grades straight and he is a born gymnast, the love of his life. one day, he crashes his bike, ended up in the hospital, a shattered right leg. yes, not broken,but shattered. he knew it would be impossible to compete on the highest level anymore, but socrates, a stranger which appears along the story changes the plot. he reminded Dan what a true warrior doesnt gives up, about absolute vulnerability. to seize the moment, to get hold of the time and to be attentive to whats happening around him, in short, to focus and get the thrash outta his mind. several months of intensive training, hes again back at his supremacy, only for his coach to give up on him. to have the IOC disqualified him. and at his disappointment, he was frustrated and angered by what he had believed all this while, the sacrifices he made. and this is the best part of the entire movie, he vent out his anger at socrates, " i live to be a gymnast, to compete in the olympics, and to be a gold medallist, its the medal that makes me happy, its the medal that i thrive for! ". "is that what happiness is about? a gold medal?, so whats after the gold medal, you'll still be unhappy , until another gold medal and another? come one day, u wont be able to compete anymore, so you cant be happy forever is that so?", socrates. "i dont care, i'll be happy with nothing but the gold", Dan. "then i think its time for me to show you this, i think you're ready for it". socrates showed dan the way up the cliff. it took them 3 good hours to climbed. as they finally reach, Dan was too excited to realize what Socrates wanted to show him, but just a piece of plain rock beneath his foot. the metaphor is that the rock is the gold. he was excited, happy, curious, because he was anticipating the journey, he was expecting the great, but only when you reach the top, you'll realize that is it. you'll still be unfazed and unsatisfied. to be wildered through the way up, the journey, is what a warrior truly lives. life is about the journey not the destination, the outcome is secondary to what you've given to be your best along the way. thats the real happiness. the happiness that last for a lifetime. and i thought, a movie that just put on my thinking cap. | | |
| when i first heard, next saw, last read
my hopes were smitten
i was left complacent
then i'm down,this was written
you are already belonged
my faith has finally proven me wrong
when the night gets lonely
oceans apart you were safe and warm
in someone's arm, you were tall and strong
conversing conversation, we would be so wrong
so is any message in any form
savoring the moments, i carried on
keeping your picture, i smiled and sailed through the storm
for when the time comes along
its you who reminded me the key is to carry on
thanks for everything thats true
for everything, you made me feel so blissful
i'll always remember, iv turned to you.
now may i return the favour
i pray for you and your saviour
may god love you and your forever
for if theres no you, Chang Michelle,
there will be no blue sky after the rain
answer for my loneliness and pain
in darkness and in vain
you held the warm throughout winter
calm and peaceful like the still water
with your smile, and your laughter
there were always haters
but you were in my perceivable, the perfect answer
no girls managed any closer
if theres any bettter
its you, no others could offer
now, i will be hopeful
because you taught me so
i will be confident
because you told me so
i will be destined for greatness
because you've said so
in you words,i believe so
now and forever
in my eternal soul
