Punch to the Heart

-
During lunch today, I spent the hour watching a movie on my laptop.  It's called Passengers.  Starring Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson.

It has been a while since I last watch a movie that made me cry.  This movie just hit me right there.  I'm not a guy who easily cries watching a movie, but the ending was so moving, I found my eyes had gone teary.  There's a reason to it, but I won't spoil it to you, just in case you guys are going to watch it.  

One of the dialogue that hits me right spot on, was this, "You know what's scary about commitment?  Your life becomes real.  Not a plan or what you had hoped for.  Real."  It is true.  Commitment makes us real.  Not that it's wrong or bad about it, it's just life becomes real.  I suppose, I'm not ready for realism.  I'm not actually saying without commitment life becomes a fantasy either.  Perhaps, it's less real.  And that is why I'm scared of it...  It's funny (not ha-ha funny), that sometimes, we find answers in weird ways.

So anyway, Passangers, it's about a plane crash and people dealing with it, with a little bit of twist in it.  I must say, it's a good movie to watch with a loved one.  Whoops, I have to go now, will be right back, work beacons... Until then, take care and Ciao!

I'm in the middle of watching this movie right now. As soon as I heard the dialogue, "You know what's scary about commitment?.." I put the movie on pause and I googled the phrase immediately, and found your entry. I'm so happy to have found that this line affected someone else the way it did me.

Thanks for leaving a comment about this.

Yeah, it feels nice that in some way, somehow, someone out there too feel the same way as I did when I heard those dialogue in that particular movie.

Words as simple as that, can be so profounding... isn't it?

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi...

Tolerances and Compromises

I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o...

Sunday at the Beach

Since we had a great shooting at Tutong's Seri Kenangan Beach last week.  We decided to do a sequel with the usual crew, my mentor Corey and our model of the month, Redz.   So I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves, it's mediocre, I know, I'm still learning and I'm still couldn't get over with photoshopping issues.  I lose some quality when I reduce the image size.  It has been a great weekend.  And I sense a great weekday ahead. On our way to Seri Kenangan Beach The Tumpi (Malay Pan cake) was good, we nearly forgot the sun was setting, I love the silhouette created by the setting sun. A post card picture of a father and son, taking pictures of the sunset. Casuarina Tree Redz contemplating to go deeper into the sea... Breaking the waves Mastering the Panning technique Of course, we couldn't forget our Next Bruneian Top Model!  Picture perfect! So Until then my dear readers...  hope you like my pictures.  Comments appreciated.  These pictures are n...
