how to train your dragon

someone once answered this when she was asked in an interview,
'what is your favorite movie?'

for many people it is just a trivial matter.
maybe for her too.. it was trivia.

but it wasn't for me.
because we watched that movie together.

her face was beaming as we walked out of the theater.
and i took a snap of that moment. framed it. and kept it.
inside a dungeon locked with a key possessed only by her.

and then there was the song that we sang together.
even if our voices never really blended that well.
but i recorded that track, and played it back a thousand times.

i kept pictures and tracks of such moments.
and there is never a 'share' button there.

well.. that is silly, maybe.
or childish, probably.
and at best, worth a 'thank you' and a 'but' to her.

but you know what..?
this life we are living..
it is but a brief moment of vanity.

you and me.. we are all heading towards the same place.
one day none of these would matter.
one day this love will be eclipsed by something truer than this.

allow me to be silly then,
while there is still an ounce of naivety in me.

sore wa.. ore no nindo dakara.

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
