of freedom, and man and shotgun

'the guy with the most freedom in this whole ocean is the Pirate King!'
- Monkey D Luffy, One Piece

This manga is about one thing. Race to the Grand Line, where the ultimate treasure called 'One Piece' is hidden. 
All pirates understand 'Pirate King' as the one pirate who manages to get to the treasure first.
Well.. almost all.
Because there is Luffy who seems to care nothing about the treasure's content.
For him.. the man with the most freedom in this whole ocean is the King.

How true it is.
I think the happiest man in this world is indeed the man with the most freedom.
And such a man is truly a king.

In another manga, Naruto, there is an excellent character named Itachi.
A smart, kindhearted boy with an immense burden he was destined to carry.
Well.. he could have chosen to be selfish and follow his heart desire.
And no one would have blamed him probably.

He chose to carry the burden though.

And with that, he compromised his own freedom.

Luffy was a lie. You can never be luffy in real life and stay alive.
in life, there is consequence, there is sacrifice.
in life.. you are more likely to face what Itachi faces.

and being a man..
you eventually realise this.

a man's got to do what a man's got to do. 


Now just for some random stuff.
Here's a funny (but true) quote from L'Amour (again).

“There is nothing more dangerous than a woman with a shotgun. Because you don't know when it's going to go off...and neither does she.”
Louis L'Amour

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
