Updates...

Haven't wrote anything on this blog for a while. So many things have changed over the past few month. Here are some of the highlights:

• New Home Owner - I finally found my peace of mind.
• 
  
• New Job - Coasting at first, but getting into gear to kick some serious ass. I believe in my ability to do the best that I can do.
• 
  
• Fitness - Getting back into it. Slowly but surely. I miss the days when I was totally in shape. It'll come back.
• 
  
• Love - So many heartbreaks surrounding me. I am just glad that I am grounded, but to those whom I love experiencing hardship. I am with you. You may not, or will never, understand or comprehend how I feel. You may also be annoyed. But know this, my intentions are true and my thoughts are always with you.
• 
  
• Life - Settling to my new lifestyle. New goal =Payoff this house, and a Porsche, (for mom and dad).
• 
  
• Manhood - I know what I am, and what I want, and what I believe in. there.

Change

Many new changes happening.

1. New Job

2. New House

3. New (old car)

4. New realization

I welcome these changes. And those things I can't let go, I am sure I'll cross it again, but as I always state. I have no doubt!

Make Sense.

不抽烟不喝酒，63岁，林彪同志；

只喝酒不抽烟，73岁，恩来同志；

只抽烟不喝酒，83岁，主席同志；

既抽烟又喝酒，93岁，小平同志；

吃喝嫖赌样样来，103岁，学良将军；

啥坏习惯都没有，成天忙着做好人好事，23岁，雷锋同志。

Better than Reality....

Dream - Had a dream last night about the one girl whom I absolutely adore. Then for some reason, Fate had to wake me up (in the middle of the night and killed the nice dream). What is even more ironic is that, as I becomes more lucid after I woke up, I soon realized that the dream, as usual, is much sweeter and better than reality. But alas, it is something you can only dreamt of. Once the morning starts, you gotta settle back into reality. But regardless, it is totally awesome to still be able to remember that dream (Which is why I gotta write this down today before it disappears in my memory).

New Outlooks...

In the past few month, I have learned three very important things.

1. Treasure and appreciate the ones who truly cares for you. Family, friends, pets, etc. Appreciate their company and make the time spent with them a good one.

2. Let go of the past. There will always be certain things you want but can't get. There will always be people who you feel treated you wrongly (or you viewed wrongly because of difference in expectation). Let it go. Don't dwell in the past. And don't have remorse or sense of loss. What is yours will be yours; what is meant to be will be meant to be. Let it go and let it flow.

3. Look around you and appreciate and care for the simple things, for those are usually the things that matters the most. Like morning coffee, playing with your dog, conversation with family, looking outside the window, a walk, a glance at the sky, a moment in the sun etc. etc.

The lofty wants and desires are great to have, but they should be secondary.

Life...

To DoDo and all those I love.

Life is fragile. Life is equal. Life is a gift, and Life is beautiful.

Treasure every single minute of it and enjoy and make the most of every single minute of it.

I will miss you DoDo and I love you. You are in a better place now, take care.

"2046"

For Some reason, the synopsis and the music from the movie “2046” intrigued me. I am definitely checking this movie out. I know it is slow with a tinge too much mannerism, but nonetheless, 2046 looks very interesting.

Here is the trailer:

Listening to one of the main song from this movie (Speak Low By Billie Holliday Bend Remix) while sitting in a coffee shop at "The Hotel" in Vegas this past week also gave me the chance to reflex on a recent (albeit sudden) realization...

We all have memories, good ones, bad ones, happy ones, sad ones. But dwelling on the memories will never allow you to move on, and at a certain time, we must all move on, the trigger could be anything. Some self apparent, some very subtle. I think I've just had mine.

Things for 2010

Seize each day. Live each day as if it's your last. Leave the past behind and do not anticipate the future. Be present to enjoy the moment

Be adventurous. Explore, live on the edge a little and embrace new challenges. Try something new every day. Experience the variety in life. Take the road less traveled.

Keep a journal. Record your accomplishments as well as your delights. Take time to reflect on what has been previously written. Be inspiration to yourself and others.

Love yourself. Focus on your inner and outer beauty to see the same in others. Acceptance comes from within.
