{LOVE}

I guess, this is a topic to be discussed and debated with, regardless of your race, religion, sex, age, or generation, as long as you still believe in LOVE. I'm sure, there has been LOVE, since the first day man existed on the face of this planet. I mean, of course, when there is more than one man, only there is "the LOVE" that I am going to talk about. LOVE for mother nature is not within this topic's scope =)

Recently, I started to watch a Japanese drama. I have no idea how I got to the drama in the first place, but anyway, it's got 黑木瞳 in it, and I LOVE her ^^ The drama is called 同窗会. It is about having an affair with your classmate over 30 years ago. Well, I'm not going to talk about the drama itself. You can watch it if your mind is open enough. It is about "having affair" after all, and it is still considered to be morally wrong in our current society.

Ok, now, straight to the point. It made me wonder: many of us judge others when it comes to LOVE, and try to decide, which is the true LOVE. For example, parents will tell their young children not to get involved in any relationships during their high school, because that is not true LOVE they are experiencing. And friends will tell their friends, that if they guys/girls do so and so, that is not LOVE they are having. But I come to wonder, is it not possible to have LOVE　in high school? Is there a formula to tell a true LOVE from a fake one?

Let's have another example. Boy and girl falls in LOVE. But actually, boy is a playboy and walks away soon enough. Girl's heart breaks, and doubts if there has even been LOVE in between them. I would tell her, that there has been LOVE for her, but not the boy. My point is, whether LOVE exists or not does not depend on the outcome of a relationship. When others don't treasure your LOVE， it does not mean that you did not have LOVE. Do not doubt your own feelings, and do not let others influence your perception about LOVE. Even if your relationship fails over and over again, you should keep the pureness of LOVE within yourself, and not judge the future with the past.

A few of my friends, male friends in fact, are so seriously hurt by girls in the name of LOVE. One has totally changed his perception for LOVE, and started to figure out a formula for LOVE. And with this formula that he carries around in his head everywhere, he judges girls with that formula, even before they meet and speak to each other. And another my male friends, he just couldn't decide, whether the LOVE he had was real or not. If it is real, then why is he not together with the girl right now, as like the saying that says, true LOVE lasts and the couple lives happily ever after? If it is not, then what is the real LOVE, and what was it that he felt when he was together with the girl? He just could not get over it.

Some time ago, I was looking for a card for my friend. I came across a card with the best saying about LOVE. Basically, it says that, LOVE is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the harder you will get it; but when you are calm and still, it will come to rest on your shoulders. In my opinion, LOVE is everywhere, all around us. You do not need to catch nor pursue it, you just need to feel it with your heart. And when you feel the it is LOVE, don't let others say the otherwise. What happened to others does not apply to you, and remember the fact that while others might lie to you, your heart can never lie.

Sometimes, LOVE can be a bit blurry, and others might not treasure your LOVE as much as you treasure theirs. Nonetheless, if you choose to believe in LOVE in the first place, believe in it till the end. When you are calm and patient enough to see through your heart, LOVE will come to you eventually...

Law Abiding Citizen

I have to say, this is 100% the kind of movie that I love. I love it so much, that after so much time of inactive, I come to decide to post something on my blog again, hehe. If you haven't seen it yet, then go watch it, no matter how you get your sources from. It is also highly recommended for those who like V for Vendetta.

If you haven't watched it but still decided to read on, then spare me from the blame of spoiling the movie. So, why do I love it so much? Simple, because it describes and portraits my opinions and thoughts all these while. Ever since my SPM results(Malaysian high school exams) came out and I was not accepted into any local unis, my head has been embedded with this thought, of setting the justice right, one way or the other, and it doesn't matter if blood has to be shed.

What has the society today become? Just like Nick Rice said in the movie, while you are trying to change the system, you do not realize that the system has been changing you all the while. A little inch here and there ends up changing you to an entirely different person in the end. But do we realize that we are being changed? Or do we still think that we are trying to change the system and the world? If Clyde Shelton never shows up in reality, will Nick Rice in reality ever going to realize it, that he's been changed? Are we going to slumber along unless we get a slap right on our face?

Look at the bitchy mayor! What did she do, besides blaming others and firing them of their jobs at will if they don't get the jobs done? And the judge too. She deserves it well alright. "We feel for you..."That's what we normally hear in times of great sadness. But do you really feel what I feel? I was so hoping for Nick's family to be killed too. He was lucky that Clyde spared them their lives.

I am the only child in my family. And if I were not the only child to bear responsibilities to my parents, I would have tried something similiar to what Clyde did. The system is not working anymore. Before you will appreciate anything, you will have to lose it first. And I will be the one to take up the duty, to let the government appreciate its citizens. Because without the citizens, there will never be a government, nor a country. What I have lost, I would rather make them suffer the same lose, than let them make it up to me. Some things are just not the same anymore, no matter what you do. Just as Clyde's wife and daughter, they can never feel anymore...
