On Letting Down

It is peculiar how we have our expectations towards others even if we have just met or known them for their entire life. Is it even rational to expect?

Anticipation may lead to disappointment. The degree how down one gets when one’s expectations are not met varies. But wait; is it just to feel upset? In the first place they are not even obligated to do this or that since no one told you to expect anyway! Then again, you still expect someone to do this and that based on first impressions or what you heard about them. However, when you expect someone to behave a certain way because you have known that person for a long period of time, things get bizarre.

Do you expect too much because you thought or felt you knew?

When will I learn? People are people. Sadly, as I wake up each morning expecting something… when in reality I should not really be expecting at all.

Movie 5

The Holiday

Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.

Movie 4

The Messengers

There is evidence to suggest that children are highly susceptible to paranormal phenomena. They see what adults cannot. They believe what adults deny. And they are trying to warn us.

Gentleman or Player?

Someone who...

... intently listens to you while you are talking a.k.a. stares at you?
... opens the doors for you?
... pulls a seat for for you?
... asks you if you are cold and offers you his jacket?
... guides you while you cross the street by putting his hand on your waist area?
... holds your hand while you are leisurely walking?
... gives you compliments on how you look et al?
... kisses you before you part ways?

On Deaths

Death is a part of life. Death is our constant companion…our ally. One should accept the existence of death because at the end of the road, nobody can escape loss of life. Thus, there should be a constant awareness that one’s time is only borrowed.

With this knowledge, one should make the best use of their time and live life to the fullest. One could only live life to the fullest when one has accepted the reality of death. When one shy away from death, one deprives one’s self the passion to enjoy life and love with clarity.

Love anything that lives then eventually it dies. Trust anyone and there is a chance of pain and hurt. Depend on someone and that person may let you down. A full life is full of ache. Then again, the only alternative is not to live fully or not to live at all.

Therefore, one must accept death as one’s companion. Take risks. Live life to the fullest before it runs out.
