It's simply creepy how time flies. June's already ending in a few hours, and "kia-su" me has to beat the clock to throw a post in, just so i'll have a blog-post for every month.. =P
I thank God i finally managed to get myself a laptop, so that i can get back into blogosphere. I've been feeling so lost without it.. =( Despite that, i still feel like my right hand is still missing, with my camera still unreplaced. Every now and then, to cheer me, YY takes me to browse in the camera shops, just to take a peek, and then for me to go back and dream about it.. haha.. =))
This month, two close friends have lost things that were really precious to them. One lost her laptop - full of her kids' videos (since birth) and another lost her hp just today. It is so painful to lose things so precious.
But then again, on reflection, it is in losing something that we often realise it's true value. Most of the time, things like these are taken for granted, and get treated with little significance.
I recently got hold of a movie - PS I love U. Now, let me warn you - this movie is one tear-jerker (more so than the average Korean soaps), and heart-wrencher --- a total girly movie with many "ridiculous happenings which make absolutely no sense whatsoever to the average normal guy". But i managed to glean some precious lessons, which made it worth my tears, my tissues and my time.
1. Live the life you have now.
Holly epitomises the girl-next-door who dreams of great things, but fails to remember that she has a life now and a wonderful Scottish husband by her side. So in her envy and strife for better things - like a bigger house and a better job, she often gets into arguments and the blame-game over her husband's inability to provide all these luxuries for her and her own inability to get these things by her own efforts.
2. Love like you've never loved before.
Holly and her husband loved each other, but they didn't realise life was going to be that short. Her husband died tragically (how else!) and so suddenly, that she couldn't cope initially - feeling desperately lonely and with a tremendous overwhelming sense of emptiness in her life. Everywhere she turned and walked in her little house reminded her so much of him.
3. Dream dreams, and live them now.
Holly was an art student, and when she first graduated, her dream was to create. But in her pursuit for stability, job and money, she forgot her dreams. And it wasn't until her husband's death, and his letters that reminded her who she was, and the dreams she had, that she started pursuing her passions.
My recommendation: Get hold or rent the DVD. You can borrow from me, if you wish.. =) Watch the movie with your loved ones. Have a full box of tissue with you, just in case. It is worth the two hours. It makes you look at ur spouse/ family just that bit differently, and view life with just that slight bit more positivity. =) Happy July!
