accepting death

Hello. I haven't blogged for 2weeks and more ?! feel like postponing a lot. still remember I had been eager to post since the first of June but then the desire vanished although I wanna talk LOTS, yeah you know, laziness grows on holiday.

And so..

yesterday was the first time I experienced how that sorrow of having someone I ever met announced dead. I had not seen her for long years and I kinda forgot how she looked like. It's simply because I know she ever existed on the earth and unexpectedly, she's gone. forever. I felt terrible. I imagined how if she had been one of my close ones... but I had burst into tears even before I started.

I had been taught theories to accept death and I thought I wouldn't be so depressed of it. But now I seem not ready spiritually. Even to an almost-stranger, I feel this uneasy. sigh. I wish I have the strength when someday I encounter this again. death oh death.

P.S. I'm not a Twilight Saga freak but I've added an Eclipse movie countdowns ;) Let's count !

Ip Man 2

So I went to watch the movie with some friends. and I'm out of words except "great". I really felt my emotion burst out as I learnt how Westerns had underestimated Chinese Kungfu and tradition. I was shouting and fuming at the Westerns ! If you had sit next to me then you would have known I was such a noise. At the same time I was also touched by the Chinese not accepting the Westerns' humiliation. I CRIED. I think no one did. who cares :p not to forget, I tapped my legs like crazy due to furiousness and successfully made my friends laughed at my act. embarrassing yet fun hahaha.

Don't you just love his calm expression? cool !

this guy on the left is whom I wanted to punch !!

young Bruce Lee. He was this Ip Man's student. (true story)

P.S.The fact that nowadays Westerns appreciate Chinese more than before relieve me.

Happy Mother's Day anyway ! :)

Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titan Movie Synopsis: Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

i love this heavenly scene the most :D it shows the God's residence at Olympus (if I'm not mistaken)

I learnt a moral lesson from the movie :

"Do not be arrogant and ungrateful for what you have had."

watched the movie with a friend who at a sudden offered a ticket for me this morning at school (remember I joined the test?). I had no reason to reject as I had heard many good responds from people who had watched it before. and I didn't feel any regret after watching like how I felt in some other movies. it was awesome, maybe it is just because of my curiosity in myths and legends. The movie has successfully seduced my eyes to keep watching until the very end and my brain to keep digesting the plots. i was out of the theater, very much contented :)

dear legs

like what i predicted, my legs are still ailing :'( ive got problems going up and down stairs. and SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW ! even worse with these legs. ah let's talk abt something else.

remember my dilemma? ;) i ended up going both mom's friend's house and Sun Plaza, but not for Piercy Jackson the Lightning Thief, we were late for the tickets. henceforth, From Paris with Love was an only possible choice. why? the other films beside these are 14 Blades (Chinese movie) and My Name is Khan (yes, Khan is from Sharukh Khan). well ive never heard any recommendation for the Chinese one, so...you have understood, havent you? hahahhahahahahahhhahah a silly paragraph. ignore ignore.

though i would prefer Piercy Jackson(they said it's kinda like Harry Potter), but still, From Paris with Love is a cool action movie with lots of gunshots. i didnt really understand the plot as my brain doesnt work well on action movies. hehehhe. romance movies suit me best B)

i went to Gramedia too for Ilana Tan's novel - Summer in Seoul. the fourth novel of her series - Spring in London has been published, but i will buy it only after finishing the 2 books i havent read, Summer in Seoul and Winter in Tokyo.

by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST MOM ! :D

whatta day !

we set out to Siang San Shi temple, Berastagi at 6.30 in the morning and went back at 8.30. 14 hours not 2, all right? :)
had 5 sessions of worshipping Buddhas, yes, 5. not as easy as you may think. it's not like just keep reading Buddhas' names, the hardest part is that you need to stand-and-kneel. still easy? try it 350 times. oh, even more.
i was about to give up when i saw them in their late 40s or 50s who persisted on their stand-and-kneel pose, i was touched, and at the same time ashamed for having the thought of giving up.
it is said that the ritual, which is held on the third day of Lunar New year, will help us to get rid of bad karmas we had made the previous year. if your legs are painful after the prostration, it means you've done many bad things through the year.
i tell you,
MY LEGS HAD BEEN IN VERY MUCH PAIN even before the 4th session started. SIGH. hard to belive but it's the truth. i was being too mean and disrespectful and what else? too much to be mentioned. aish

and oh im in dilema. mom plans to visit a friend's house with me and bro while my friends are asking me whether i will join them for Lightning Thief or not. i wanna watch the movie sooo badly ! :( let's see then. here is a snapshot of it.

looks like a freak movie? hhahahahahha. idk. quite lazy to search for more.

P.S wont sleep well tonight, and tomorrow? im gonna be paralyzed for 1 or even 2 days.
