Thought Du Jour

每個人對生命都有不同的期望，有些是為了自己，有些是為了滿足别人，但從没有人能保證，這些期望何時可以達成……如果期望真的無法達成，是否應該繼續堅持下去呢？

期望，哪怕是一個细小的期望，當它可以落實的時候，我們都會感到興奮，好像生命又重燃了希望。期望有時又是虛無缥缈的，但它卻是我们的精神支柱，就好像空氣那樣，身體要靠空氣才能生存，而我們的心，就要有期望，才能有力氣好好生活下去

每個人都想自己的期望能夠達成，但世事往往不能盡如人意，有時候期望越大，失望也越大，反而没期望就不會有無謂的痛苦。或許期望會帶來痛苦，但正因為有期望，就算有多痛苦我們都可以熬過去，所以即使多麼害怕失望，多麼怕痛，也不能失去期望。

Thought Du Jour
The heart wants what it wants. It forces us to act when reason dictates otherwise. It tears down walls, breaches boundaries and for better or worse, it leads us places that the head would never go.

People are not islands. We are not separate or on our own. We are in this together.

You know you're currently in a rut with people when you're in the same space physically and yet not know what to say to each other. It's as if they built an invisible wall in front of you and have no intention of letting you through. Don't say I haven' ( Read more... )

I guess you can say that I've been living away from home for about 6-7 years now and at no point have I felt particularly homesick. Maybe it's the lack of connection I feel towards being in Canada. Maybe I don't miss the dreadful winters with all the windchill and snow. Maybe it's because I'm losing touch with a lot of the friends that I've made ( Read more... )

Third straight day of posting an entry. Heck, 6th entry of the year. Not a bad start to "posting more frequently" in this little blog space of mine.

Let's talk about the scary little thing called the 'friend zone'. Funny thing is that this topic was brought up recently as I had a discussion about this with a friend of mine and just today, Arden Cho ( Read more... )

You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.

The above quote is from the film We Bought A Zoo. I finally got a chance to see the film today during my random movie marathon trip at the theatres. I've ( Read more... )

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2011 hasn't exactly been a great year, but it wasn't bad either. Kicked off the year with my dad reading me predictions for my year based on the Chinese zodiac. Apparently 2011 was supposed to be a somewhat rough year for me. For the most part, things turned out okay, but my ( Read more... )

2010 has been an interesting year. Moved all the way across the world for uni. Met some awesome new people. Spent less on movies (yay for cheaper tickets). Spent more on everything else.
