It's been a topsy turvy ride here in the Land down under for nearly two years now. Home then work then home. It's been a routine. Thanks for the weekend on the park (some times recently; I missed the bbq-ing, kwentuhan, fotos, tawanan, at kulitan ^_^).
Some of the good things I've had with my life here, I am in love with MOVIE MARATHON. :-) Its been a wonderful time for me to eat-watch-smile-even laugh at times on movies I am watching. Its been my buddy when I am lonely, when I wanted to laugh or I wanted to cry. I remember a phase that I've read, it says, "When you feel happy doing nothing, just staying still, happy with what you have and what you are into at the very moment. You are living a satisfied life." Be content on the present moment, be happy. :-)
The last two movies I've watched were: (Last night) Iron Lady starring Meryl Streep. It was about Margaret Thatcher. It was awesome and well-played by her that made her Best Actress on the recent Oscars. I was touched by the story itself. How Baroness Thatcher made a difference and made herself a successful Prime Minister of Britain. How she stood on her feet to withstand all the struggles and fighting in proving that British is one of kind and unique and will keep on fighting on what's for British. One thing I've realized on the film, In every success there's really a downfall. Then I remembered the Homily of Bishop Tagle about 'SACRIFICE.' He told there that a Sacrifice is Sacred when you are willing to embrace it with all your heart. In the movie, She sacrifice her happiness to make way for a much better british, to prove that A WOMAN can really make a DIFFERENCE in this world. And her husband's love for her is so immense and undying; that even after death, it showed there that he's beside her until the day that she's willing to let go and stand on her own. I love what her husband said to her when its time to stepped down from the PM post, I quote "Just One Win, Darling. Now it's TIME." Her legacy thou, will always be in the history.
Food for thought: Every thing on this world really has its OWN TIME - to shine and to diminish or even vanish.
Then tonight, I've watched THE DESCENDANTS starring George Clooney. It was a very heart warming family movie. It broke my heart. I somehow could relate to it, but the movie is far much better worst than what I've gone thru. Their mom has been in coma for longer days and his kids been out of the proper attitude that a dad would expect it to be. But he gave enough courage to face the reality of his life - long awaited decision of selling to a buyer of their inherited paradise land in Hawaii and falling apart of his wife's life and their own life. It shows family ties, and how love for each other can withstand any obstacles and pains in life. During his wife's coma status, he found out the reason why his eldest daughter has been on the rebellion side cos she found out that her mom is cheating on him. It was an axe straight to the heart of a father-daughter. I could have imagined how painful it was for them and to have the guts to face the third party guy and tell him to say goodbye to their mom. Wow! It was ALL LOVE in the end that matters and stand best in fighting all the struggles of life. I was really touched on the scene when George Clooney fell on his knees on their garden after telling all their friends that his wife will not get any better and has her dying moments. It was painfully striking. At the end of the movie, it's really a matter of letting go and moving forward.
That's it for tonight. :-) Tomorrow morning, as I always do in my morning session, watch Budoy (before it was 100 days to heaven and yung kay Bro - forgot the title na..hehe). It was my morning food of wisdom. I felt really full each morning after watching it. I love the show, I can very much relate to that as I have my very special love sister, Tisay. My day is so complete after all this when I heard my sister's voice. :-)
That's all folks. Till next time... :-)
