seeing from the same point

Am listening the OST of Boys Over Flower while I'm writing now. I have seen two versions of this drama so far, the Taiwanese version and recently, the Korean version. Jeez, you couldn't imagine, how I loved the shows. The storyline, the music, everything.

There are a few phrases that I liked in the show, which I would like to rephrase and share here.

A phrase from Jan Di, "There is no your world or my world; as long as we see from the same point, there'll only be one world." Once people see things from the same perspective, there's where the common ground stands.

Another phrase from Jun Pyo, "There is such word (giving up) in my dictionary." A phrase that not many can say and accomplished it at the same time. Easy to say than to do.

A phrase from Ji Hoon, "Finally there's something that you are willing to be called crazy for." To have a dream is what mostly everyone would have. But how many of us are willing to strive our best regardless of how others would think or disapprove or discourage of us?

There are actually many others meaningful phrases that can be learned from the drama. Hope they will served as great encouragements to you.

love drama & music

Anyone who hasn't watched love drama before?
I guess almost everyone would have watched, whether it's a short film, drama series or movie.

Sometimes, watching those shows really amazed me. It's not just because it's a love story where boy and girl meets each other then falls in love and everything ended happily ever after. What amazed me more is the story line, the plot. I wondered what kind of scriptwriters out there that could think of such amazing love stories where lovers had to go through all those different kind of challenges in their love life, where they finally realised who their true love are. The determination showed, the act of never giving up on their love, to pursue till the end on what they believed, the touching scenes, the small little things in life.

Of course not to forget those love music played during the whole show. Sometimes while you are watching so intensively at the acting of the actor or actress, you could hardly realised that you are actually humming along the music played in the background. The songs played seem to be so blissful, so soothing, so intense, so heartbreaking, matching every scene of the drama. Without music, a show would be incomplete. These two seem just to be a pair, like soulmates.

Some say that life is just a drama itself, while some say drama is a reflection of life. Either way, I think it fits. So, what have you done for your drama of life for today? Have you added the right music in it?

Why not make your life beautiful today? Filled it with abundance of love and spread it to others. May your love bring warmth and joy to others.

diligence

Diligence - this word sprung into my mind few days ago while I'm enjoying my facial mask that afternoon.

Ever heard of the favourite phrase of those beauty saloons or those beauty programmes on TV that goes like this, 'There's no ugly women in the world, only lazy women'. So, what does it implies? You have to be diligent in keeping yourself pretty and slim.

What about those highly accomplished entrepreneurs that seems to enjoy endless of luxuries? Well, they worked hard when they first started off their career and are now enjoying their fruits of labour. Again, it is diligence.

There are no shortcuts in life. Some might have walked through a shorter and smoother journey, while some might take a little longer time in going through their journeys full of crossroads and barriers. What about you?

No matter how long your journey takes you, don't be despair or disillusioned. Try taking a few friends along to accompany you through your journey - Hope, Faith and Diligence.

last lecture

I think the Last Lecture is just the First Lecture that I have really read so far.
I was just looking around the book store trying to pick up a few books, and there I saw a book, which seems so familiar yet I don't recall I've read it anywhere before. The LAST LECTURE.

All my life, I had hoped to come across someone like Prof Randy, but I guess, maybe I was just too busy looking for someone perfect to fit in the bill of my perfect idol that I might have just missed out appreciating those who around me that had played an important role in changing my life and my way of thinking.

There a few insights inside this book that struck me real hard. Things about the brick walls, things about hard work and opportunity, things about relationship over material stuff, etc. It got me thinking about my dreams. Had I really been working real hard to achieve my childhood dreams?

I realised the older one gets, the more realistic (or maybe materialistic) your dream will become, like earning big bucks, buying big house. If you could just think back what your childhood dreams were and compared to the dreams you have now, is there a difference?

I guess not everyone is as lucky as Prof Randy students, but how many of us that would actually realised the value of another person? If only we had looked from different angles of a person, only we can know the real value of a person.

And how many of us can really recognized opportunity when it comes knocking on our door? There's a saying, opportunity doesn't come knocking twice. So, have you been checking on your door?

I'm now actually trying to view the Last Lecture of Prof Randy Pausch on You Tube, it's still loading. Even by just reading the book had brought me to tears, I wondered what will happened after I watched the video.
